Thanks Whooami … I’m gonna give it a shot.

wpbct7, if you were here right now I’d kiss you on the nose.

Thanks! Worked like a charm …

(I had thought that the “center” referred to a horizontal, rather than vertical centering.)

Doh!

Dammit, I knew it was going to be something as simple as that.

Thanks, VelvetBlues, that — of course — was exactly the problem.

Bump!

I’m having the identical problem, and could find nothing in the Codex to help.

So … no one in WordPressLand has experienced anything like this?

I’ve lost hours of work by making edits in the “Write Page” editor, and having most of the work just vanish which I click save.

Bump … if this is being ignored because I’ve explained it poorly, lemme know and I’ll give it another try.

Okey-doke … turns out that fixing the relative links fixed the “invalid character” problem as well.

Let that be a lesson to me! ??

Yeah, I was hoping to solve the other thing first, but you’re right — might as well clean up everything I can and hope the “weirdness” takes care of itself.

I’ve eliminated those pesky character entities by upgrading to WP 2.5, and enabling the “WP Unformatted” plugin.

Didn’t solve the feed validation issue.

Feed Validator returns the same error, and the highlighted section of the feed looks like this:

<p>But though the rattling, banging, ink-smudging contraptions will likely retain a place in the hearts of a romantic rear-guard, the "closed" sign in the window of Kehlet's makes it official. (sigh)</p>]]></content:encoded>

Can some feed genius tell me what’s wrong with this? Looks fine to me!

Did I phrase this in a confusing way?

I have a list of links in my sidebar which are all child links of a single category.

The way it is now, when you click on one of the child links and end up on a single-post page, using the “next/previous” links takes the user to the next post in the *category*, which is not necessarily the next “child” of that category.

Is there some way to set it up so that the “next/previous” links stay within the child category?

(www.calyxdesign.com/portfolio is where I’m trying to make this happen.)

Works like a charm. Thanks!

Okay, I’ll mark this resolved … it does seem to work in the majority of cases, but let me just curse the name of Microsoft here. Curses!

HandySolo: I’m trying to use the Zeo technique mentioned above, but my theme did not come with a functions.php file.

I created one:

function myFilter($query) {
	if ($query->is_feed) {
		$query->set('cat','-4');
	}

return $query;
}

add_filter('pre_get_posts','myFilter');

Unfortunately, it is having the effect of breaking the WP post editor! When I try to save a post, a page of errors results as follows:

Warning: Cannot modify header information - headers already sent by (output started at /home/.goomba/calyxdesign/calyxdesign.com/wp-content/themes/modern/functions.php:15) in /home/.goomba/calyxdesign/calyxdesign.com/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 390

I don’t even know if it’s working on the RSS feed, because I can’t create a post to test it.

Any idea as to what’s happening here?

I found a machine that only has IE 6 installed, and the conditional comments still do not show up.

What’s bizarre is this: I changed my conditional statement to point to IE 7, and it works like a charm! <!–[if IE 7]>

What the !!???

Interesting …

I’m using browsershots.com to test, so it’s a virtual setup for me.

I’ll see if I can figure out if they have a machine with just IE6 installed.

Thanks!
