Thanks. Got it working now

miklb: I am a newbie. Could you elaborate more on this.
“Pages will allow for commenting, you will just need to be sure the template provides for it”

I am using the default theme and still my pages does not allow for commenting(I checked “Allow Comments” in the admin panel)

I will give a simple example to explain why I need this

Suppose I divide all my content into 10 blocks – C1,C2 … C10

Now I want to display these content on three pages such that
page 1 contains C1,C2,C3
page 2 contains C4,C5,C6
and page 3 contains C7,C8,C9,C10 and page 3 is password protected

Using Post
————–
The only way I could figure out to do this is to have all C1…C10 as individual posts and three categories page1, page2, page2. So while creating the post I can assign them to appropriate category. The problem occurs with the password protected page. A user has to type in password for each of C7, C8,C9,C10 to see the page completely

Using Pages
—————-
I don’t know if there is a way to do the same with Page (post_status=”static”). I was wondering if I can do the same with pages so my previous question of iterating over pages.

Q1: Is there a better way to do it?

Q2: However if it is possible to password protect categories too, then the above would be quite easy. I see there isn’t any such field in wp_categories. Any pointers to where in the code should I look around to add this functionality?

Q3: Is it possible to iterate over all the posts from within a Page (static page) i.e database entries with post_status=publish? It seems that when one click on the any static page link eventually wp-blog-header.php is invoked with a page_id=<number> argument that restricts the result of the sql query by adding the appropriate where clause.

Hi
I read all the links that you suggested. Let me ask specific question as I think that would be quicker.

Does the look in page.php ever go beyond one iteration. For e.g my page.php has these lines

<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<h2 id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”>
<?php endwhile; endif; ?>

Could there be a case when <h2 id=”post-<?php the_ID(); ?>”> is executed twice i.e. the loop iterates more than one. ( For posts it does but will it ever iterate for “Pages”

Thanks,

I tried the above structure: /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/
and category base as blank

I then created a new post and tried to view it and again got the same error.

(I changed my httpd.conf (to allow override) and restarted both mysld and httpd)

Once I set the structure to blank in permalinks all my posts and page become accesible.

Thanks,
Sumit

Solved.
I don’t know what the problem was but I uninstalled mysql and reinstalled it and worked.

Thanks

The previous post was the result of ver 1.5.3 .

I checked my config file. The setting are correct

define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘blog’); // The name of the database
define(‘DB_USER’, ‘blog’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ”); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

If you see my previous mail, it contains output of some commands that verifies that the setting are correct.

I did a fresh install. Version 1.5.3
