In reply to: Permalinks change from page # to titleNope. If you use the plugin Platinum SEO Pack then it should do it automatically. Basically Platinum SEO puts a 301 redirect on all pages if you change permalink structure, so this way you don’t lose any traffic.

In reply to: Firefox Display of WordPress siteIt is not the problem of a computer it is a problem in your codes.
If anyone tells you to verify w3 and you do that and still won’t fix it up … it doesn’t mean the problem is not you. Because the problem will always be your codes because each browser translates them differently.
It is the error of margins and paddings … try switching them out … This will take alot of trial and error and it will be very frustrating.
Good luck

In reply to: WordPress for other than blog usage?All answers summing it up.
Yes you can do it. I do it with all my sites.
Do you need programming skills? If you call copying and paste php codes in the right place following a tutorial a programming skill than you need that.
Do themes tell you up front ? Not every theme is made for this. In fact none of the themes are made for this. Customizations is necessary.
You are not the right person to do this because you hate to spend time. Projects that require customizations requires time. Specially for someone who would be searching tutorials and implementing them.

In reply to: Replacing ad placeholder with adOk, simply head over to your sidebar.php
Replace that <a href part with your clickbank ad. If you want to show a specific 125 x 125 banner then make it in photoshop and replace the current one with at that one…
Right now I believe it is using the css to create that image as a background one. So you might have to change the css, but I don’t think it is necessary.

In reply to: Can I use our own existing website template with WordPressOne thing I must warn you in doing so, is that if you use a structure of a free theme, you must follow that free theme’s Terms of Services. Unless you are planning on heavy modification which means you are not going to leave any aspect of that theme left in it. So in other words I am saying that if you are modifying a free theme to use your own custom template, it will require you to put the designer’s link back or any other link back that author requires.
So the best way to go about is permission from the author and then move forward to avoid any troubles in the future.

In reply to: How to remove sidebar on 1 page, and keep it on the others?I am about 95% confident that it is your CSS. Browser Variations are not caused due to php codes. It is nearly almost always caused by the CSS.

In reply to: static AND post content on one page?Did you make a custom page template for this page?

You need to make a separate page in your php file called travel.php use the first method in the post above …
You would change the template name to whatever you like.

Then it would work perfect ??

In reply to: Best size for images in a photo blog?I say smaller the better because when you change designs, you will have a hard time incorporating. Speaking from experience. Making them clickable is a great idea. Use Next Gen Gallery…
