Nice, I like it. It’s so clean.

Yeah, that’s what I was thinking too. I’m gonna give that a try for now.

I’ve been looking for some kind of export script as well. Back in the days when I used MT, the export into a text file was very convenient. It save the entries, comments, and all of the information — hence, moving to WordPress was a breeze. I hope something will be created in the near future.

Awesome! Thanks a lot!

Essentially, just replace wordpress, username, password, and localhost (the ones inside the apostrophes) with the corresponding values for your website. If you are unsure what your MySQL username or password are, try asking your webhost.

Sigh. Root, you crack me up. I’ll take that stab with a sense of humor. It’s the best I can do.
So I checked the index page on the Validator at W3. Quite a lot of errors, but they seem to be the same ones over and over again. I will ask some friends to explain to me.
I will correct them and hopefully, I will not shame you again, Root.

Most definitely, podz, my immense gratitude to you and all of the other gurus on this support site. Thank you for all of your help.

Are there any plans to update hack for WP 1.2?

Hey there Skippy. I take back what I said prior. Your hack was a lot easier to implement than I originally thought. The installation was very quick and easy. The only tiny thing is, I think you may have forgotten to comment in the /wp-admin/edit-form-advanced.php, designating where you made the changes. I did a search for “// SDM 23-05-2004 post_level modification” and nothing came up. Otherwise, all the rest had the comments. I hadn’t made any changes in those files originally, so I just replaced them with your modified ones. Great job on this. You have no idea how long I have been looking for this kind of hack.
Now, I just need to work in the redirection hack and change the permissions of the user levels and voila! I’ll have what I’m looking for!
Keep up the good work, Skippy.

Ah, I guess I never thought of it that way before. I guess it makes sense. Then again, I don’t intend on letting other users post entries anyway, so I wonder why I asked this question in the first place. =D

Ahh. I’ve been looking for something like this for the longest time. From the looks of it, it should be rather painless to implement. The only thing holding me back from actually using it is that the comments are still displayed in the RSS feed. I hope you’re able to fix that. In the meantime, I’ll take a look at Skippy’s plugin (yes, I do have to admit it does look much more intimidating for a somewhat computer-illiterate person like myself).

Does this still work with 1.2?

Hehe, I figured it out myself just before I read your post. Thanks though!
My other question is, is there a way to edit the way the meta data is displayed?
Right now, it seems like there are circle bullet points with some spacing around it. Where can I find the function to edit the formatting?

Like many others, I only have two instances of $trackback = preg_replace(‘|\s+|’, ‘\n’, $trackback); in the post.php. I ran a search through the code multiple times and found no others.
Specifically, I have $post_music = $HTTP_POST_VARS[‘post_music’]; under case ‘editpost’ and case ‘post’. Where else did you place it? Plus, I have $post_music = $postdate[‘post_music’]; under case ‘edit’.

By the way, when I was asking about disabling the username function, I was asking about WordPress as install on my server — NOT here in the forums. I just now know that there was some snaffu with another Anonymous poster on the forums, but my question isn’t in regards to that.
