you guys running wp-super-cache? try it.

Actually.. it may as well have wiped mine. It blew up halfway in the middle of the install and left countless orphans in my database.

However.. I blame my host. I got a timeout error in the middle and I believe they don’t allocate the proper memory to their servers at times and that causes things like this. Easy to fix though.. blew my database away, created another.. did the install fresh.. uploaded old content. Voila.

“I got the “welcome” screen from WP like I was a virgin”

WordPress gives you a welcome screen if you’re a virgin!! Wow.. that’s some tight programming!! :-0

Very easy.. It sounds like you did the upgrade via the control panel one-click method? That’s evil. Never do it again.

Download the 2.8 install to your computer and upload the whole thing up to your site. Now.. go to your backup and upload the plugins folder, themes folder and verify that wp-config.php is still in your root directory (else upload it too). Log back in to WordPress Admin. Voila.

At this point.. do some site checking.. see if you have additional images that need uploaded. If so.. upload that folder too.

Either manual install.. or use Firefox. IE is your culprit I’m betting.

No prob. Glad to hear.

Does your site still work? That’s the odd thing about my issue.. my site still looks as it should.

I’m going to check out the database tables.. I’ll let you know if I find anything.

In your case though.. I would recommend downloading the 2.8 install and sending it up via ftp… except for themes folder, plugins folder and wp-config.php (in root wordpress directory).

I know a guy that worked with this person before… he can do anything design wise. Very skilled.

smartec.. fixed and working. tested in IE and Firefox. Enjoy. ??

I guess the answer is that this mp3 player cannot autoplay in WordPress, but alas.. I have found the answer. Using Google’s mp3 player, you need not upload any plugins or anything. Just simply insert the following in a post (or your index.php) page:
<embed type="application/x-shockwave-flash" src="https://www.google.com/reader/ui/3247397568-audio-player.swf?audioUrl=MP3_FILE_URL" width="400" height="27" allowscriptaccess="never" quality="best" bgcolor="#ffffff" wmode="window" flashvars="playerMode=embedded" />
Works well in Firefox and IE.. Google Chrome didn’t work, but no biggie.

It doesn’t give the standard Google mp3 player look, but you can autostart, stop it and control volume.. so there ya’ go…

I just dl’d and installed the latest version. Works like a charm!

Only hurdle.. I’ve searched through the posts here and see mention of an “autoplay” feature, but I don’t see a setting anywhere. Can someone instruct me on getting the player to autoplay? Thx!

Although I agree that a filtering system from one main calendar (just pulling different categories) would be the best way to do this, here’s a workaround I figured out using Google Calendars..

Create as many Google calendars as you like. Login to your Google calendar. From the dropdown list of ‘My Calendars’, go to ‘Calendar Settings’. In the ‘Calendar Address’ section, click on HTML. Click the ‘Configuration Tool’ link. Adjust the width and height and choose a view (weekly, monthly..). Changes on the page are made dynamically so you can see how it will look on your WordPress blog. Now grab the HTML and go put it in any page you want. Make as many calendars as you need for as many different pages!
Hope this helps someone.. took me a few hours to figure out on my own..

I figured this one out. Just use the Google Calendar system, without adding a plugin. Create as many Google calendars as you like. From the dropdown list of ‘My Calendars’, go to ‘Calendar Settings’.

Hooray.. I figured it out!

<div id="content">
		<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
		<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

		<?php the_content(__('Read more'));?><div style="clear:both;"></div>

		<!--
		<?php trackback_rdf(); ?>
		-->

		<?php endwhile; else: ?>
		<?php endif; ?>

That brings it all in nicely.. add
<div id="contentnarrow"> after the “content” id tag and close it at the very bottom if you have a right sidebar.. it seems. Maybe this helps someone else..

I don’t know how to do that.. though it sounds nice.. but as an alternative, you could use the AWSOM News Announcment plugin, that would put a story at the top of your posts.. and keep it there. You just wouldn’t be able to assign a category to it. …Maybe a short-term workaround…
