I just bought a domain name for my blog and tried to update it in WP but now all of my posts are going to an error 404 page if you try to comment or visit the permalink page. The “Pages” are working, but everything else isnt. Check it out:

The subdomain: https://www.akakestrel.com/muse/
The new name: https://www.themutteringmuse.com

Did I do something wrong? I used this method before when updating my photoblog. I just updated the url in the Options menu. Please help!

Thanks syrupcore! I’m glad you like the layout.

I caved and reverted back to an HTML layout so I could use the menu, though that was also a pain in the bootie.

Thank you, that fixed it! ??

Hmm, I just tried using the Top Cat plugin but it doesn’t affect which categories are displayed with php the_category(‘,’). I know that with wp_list_cats you can exclude certain categories, but I’m assuming the same can’t be done here?

Fixed it, nevermind. ??

Ahhh, I just checked out my blog in IE… and though everything looks perfect in FF the entire side column is totally messed up in IE. The ul columns are indented, the categories section is being placed underneath the “book corner” section. I’m beginning to tear my hair out over this one, any help would be so very much appreciated.

I found it on this site: https://www.thepinupfiles.com/index2.html

I know, you’re right Beel. I guess I just find pure CSS layouts a bit intimidating. It seems like it would take forever to learn how to make them!

that fixed it!

thank you thank you thank you!

I just tried table ul {padding-left:0} but then the storycontent ul stops working. Argh! I’ve never had trouble controling the sidepanel and content separately before.

Really? Cause my categories section on the sidebar looks like this in the side.inc file:

<div class=”sideheader”>Categories</div>
<div class=”side”>

(ul)
<?php wp_list_cats(‘sort_column=name’); ?> (/ul)
</div>

* changed < to ( for ul tags so that they would show up.

I’ve already added the padding-left tag but that hasn’t changed anything. This is how the side class looks right now:

#side {
position:absolute;
width:150px;
background:transparent;
font:11px verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight:normal;
color:#FFFFFF;
}
.side ul li { padding-left: 0px; margin: 0px; list-style-type: none;}
ul.children {
font-size: 100%;
padding-left: 0px;
}

Beel, thanks for your help. Sorry my css is so bad. ?? I’m pretty sure I’ve wrapped everything in ul or ol tags, the only exception was the miniblog, which is run off a plugin that adds the li tags in. I put ul tags around the include for that one.

The only thing I’m trying to figure out now is how to get my ul side content back over to the left, instead of indented to the middle of the column. I’m guessing it’s pulling the padding from the storycontent class because none of the other ul/ol classes have padding or margins.

??

Beel, I removed the commas and that fixed the entries but the sidebar is totally screwed up now. There are bullets where there shouldn’t be and the categories & archives (basically anything with ul) are indented about 15px. This is how my css looks now:

– No reference to ul ol at top of stylesheet

#side {
position:absolute;
width:145px;
background:transparent;
font:11px verdana, arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight:normal;
color:#FFFFFF;
}

.side ul li { padding: 0px; margin: 0px; list-style-type: none;}

#calender {
width:140px;
background:transparent;
font:10px arial, helvetica, sans-serif;
font-weight:normal;
color:#273115;
padding:2px;
line-height:11px;
letter-spacing:0px;
}

.calender ul li { padding: 0px; margin: 0px; list-style-type: none;}
.calendar a { text-decoration: underline; }

And at the bottom:

.storycontent ol li { padding: 0px; margin: 10px; list-style-type: upper-roman;}
.storycontent ul li { padding: 0px; margin: 10px; list-style-type: square;}

I’m happy with how storycontent is affecting the entries, but I don’t want bullets or indentations on the sidebar. Any ideas? Thank you so much!

I also noticed that the ol still isnt using upper-roman, check it out: https://www.akakestrel.com/muse/archives/2005/10/20/once-youre-hooked/
