This is the second time I've run into this problem. I opted not to post about it the first time, because the solution was so simple it was kind of silly. But lo-and-behold – I hit it again and forgot what the solution was anyway.
I know there can be more than one thing [...]
If you are using the default theme and have made modifications to it without renaming it – you may be in for a surprise when you upgrade using the new easy auto-upgrade button. Your theme will be replaced with the original one that WordPress came with. For all I know there's probably already a document/installation [...]
In a custom wordpress theme design I was working on tonight, I was trying to do as the title describes – make the home page show only one post (yes I know there's already a built in way to do this) but I wanted it to show up the same way the single view shows [...]
I'll make notes of issues I ran into and the solutions as I go along, but so far I've had two three issues come up when upgrading.
1) When I ran the upgrade, it sort of died before finishing… I refreshed and it told me it was all set. Checked on the main page, and everything [...]
I've been a little absent around here lately, and part of the reason is that I've been working on a project that I can now formally announce here! I'm starting up a little side business. You see, I've always loved doing origami – from the time that I was a kid. I can't even remember [...]
There's a pretty serious security bug with WP 1.2.1 (and the current 1.3 alpha), one that can make it so your blog is basically unusable (not permanently, as far as I can tell) but still – if you're using WordPress you should probably make this change.
In any case, here is how you fix the problem. [...]
One of the things Christine had asked me to add to pixelog, was, when no "previous" entry was available – to have the text still show up, but be "greyed out". I remembered a post Alex King had made on the hackers mailing list about capturing the text that some functions typically echo into a [...]
One of the things that drove me to WordPress was the fact that it was PHP based. It leaves the doors wide open for you to do practically any kind of hack you could possibly think of.
I recently reworked Pixelog.org for Christine. The original was a table based design, powered by MT. Now it's all [...]
I'm kind of surprised I didn't post this already (maybe I did and I just can't find it) – but on another blog, I have drop down comments set so it only does this for the first 'x' number of posts with comments. (Otherwise download times can get a little bogged down if there's a [...]
There may be another way to do this, but I wanted to show the excerpt, but only if I had actually typed something in. Just doing the following, will show part of the post if there's no excerpt (maybe I was doing it wrong?):
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
In any case, I use the "excerpt" field for "Guest [...]
