In reply to: how can I replace text titles to images in widgets?Hi Alan,
Great plug in by the way…I’m using it. Where would you put the img tag?
It comes up as blank if I place it in the title area after I save the update.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: 400 Bad Request when trying to update permalinksI had the same problem…only a bit bigger. The “new” server they switched me to didn’t like they hyphen character in my blog title and once they switched it to underscore. I made the switch in my wp-config file and linking to it (the main page) was better but I still can’t access archive posts through the search or link functions. 🙁
Here’s part of the error message:
<quote>An invalid request was received. This may be caused by a malfunctioning proxy server or browser privacy software. If you are using a proxy server, bypass the proxy server or contact your proxy server administrator.</quote>It’s still not resolved. Have you had any luck?
Thanks in advance,
Amy

In reply to: Lifestyle and Business BlogzineI agree, the text wrap by the images should have some padding.
It took a long time to load. (I’m one of those dinosaurs on dial up.) The header would load faster if you broke it up into slices and optimized the graphics. That’s probably beyond what you want to toy with for the moment.
I liked the poll option and voted.

In reply to: Angelic.it goth portalWhile I understand your desire to have purple/grey/black coloring, it’s hard to read. (and I’m not just saying that because it’s in Italian.)
Can you lighten the text elements?

In reply to: Where is the li coming from?By the way, I think Moshu is working on a tutorial to fit WP in a site alredy designed.
Really? I can give him insight to all the mistakes I made… 🙂
I’m looking forward to his work.

In reply to: Where is the li coming from?Fixed, finally.
I tried many variations to get css only tweeks to do the trick, but they didn’t work. I ended up having to go into the template anyway (template-functions-general.php) in order to take the link navigation hack by Orien “li” additions out. I don’t know how I missed that before/after thing.

In reply to: Where is the li coming from?Thanks SimonJ.
That makes a lot of sense. What exactly gets changed when you upgrade versions? just the wp_ type files or the entire template?
Since I’m working “off template” to make the WordPress areas look like the rest of my site, I’ve made beginner mistakes like messing with the core functions. Help to set me straight is greatly appreciated.
Side note: (and this is not meant to complain) WordPress’s community is great and the functionality of the program amazing, however “ease of use” for someone wanting to design a web page is over most newbie’s heads IMO. A tutorial on how to “customize” WordPress would be invaluable, especially if it showed you how to make your WordPress look like/fit in with your existing site. I haven’t come across a “newbie friendly” one yet.

In reply to: Where is the li coming from?The template is (loosely) based on Kubrick v1.5 http://binarybonsai.com/kubrick/ I added css and styling to the pages so they would match my existing site design/layout.
There isn’t an li in the sidebar.php added.
I’ve looked at the div class as well and took out references to line-height, etc. BUT the side bar is a definition list (in my layout) by nature, would adding an li to it instead of dd cause it to weird out?
From my browsing, it looks like that is the case, but I still don’t know why it is giving it a designation as a list item.
Still confused.

In reply to: Layout problem – take a lookI’m not certain, but it could be a float/overall container width issue. It looks like your side navigations are dropping to the bottom because the width of your main content is too wide and forcing them to the bottom. That’s more of a markup issue than anything.
Part of this could be due to your “container” being 500px wide and having it inside a wrapper with set width of 900px. It doesn’t compute mathematically. Enlarge the wrapper section or reduce the container section. However, in the second scenario, you will need to reduce the size of your image as well. And remember to “pad” a little extra in your numbers to allow for the IE offset bug.

In reply to: Help will banner/header issueAlso, you might want to look up how to center div and other page elements properly
There’s a great explanation here.
Mostly, it is putting your margin to auto and text-align your body properties to center. From that point you can text-align your div items to be left or right, but the elements themselves will be centered.

In reply to: How do I customize the icon next to my URLInteresting side note:
for .html pages, the icon loads with this line of code in your header:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="favicon.ico" />But for .php pages, (and to make those drag-drop links in your bookmark bar on top of your FF page work) you need the code to look like this in your header.php file:
<link rel="shortcut icon" href="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?> /favicon.ico" />A.

In reply to: Sidebar: extra line between categoriesWhoo hoo!!! I found it. Thanks for the fishing tip.
It was in the template-functions-category.php file. Line 376-7 the code read:
`} else {
$thelist .= “\t$link\n
“;’
Now it reads the same as the line set above it (‘$thelist .= “\t$link\n”;’)I still have a slight spacing issue in IE for the month archives, but think that is a css issue.
I’ll consider this issue resolved. Hopefully it will help others and save them some late nights.

In reply to: Sidebar: extra line between categoriesHow? … and I thought I did.
Where are they coming from? I took them out of the php (see below)
Sidebar:
<dt>Categories</dt> <dd> <?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&hierarchical=0'); ?> </dd>Is it in the wp_list_cats “template-functions-category.php” file? Is that why I’m not finding it?
Thanks again,
