Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Plugin: Simple Tags] Auto-complete & click tags suggestionsI agree with both of your suggestions. I’m using WordPress 2.5.3 and I have about 67 tags that appear as click tags. The first 30 or so that I added at the beginning appear as click tags in alphabetical order. But the other 20 that I added afterward are all mixed up, in the order that I added them, instead of being inserted into the correct alphabetical order with the earlier ones. It makes it very difficult and time-consuming to use the click tags feature, since I basically have to search through all 40 tags every time I want to click on one.

In reply to: Is this webhost wrong re:wordpress?I’m a WP noob, but the following post that says that register_globals should be OFF for WordPress, not on.
http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/41685
UPDATE: I’ve read several other old posts on the subject, and apparently there was a WP security exploit in August, 2005, that could only do damage if register_globals was set to ON. Almost immediately, a new version of WP was released to fix the problem, and ever since then, it has been recommended that register_globals be set to OFF, not just for WP, but because register_globals causes security issues for a lot of scripts if it is set to on.
WP experts, did I summarize all of that correctly?

In reply to: Showing it all?? Too long!From what I can tell, the first part of freo4cup’s suggestion will work (setting the number of posts), but the second part will not work for what funfelt is asking, because it will only change the way that a post’s syndicated feeds will display — it won’t change the way that really long posts themselves are displayed.

In reply to: Do you think a blog can outrank a static html site?If I understand correctly, I think maybe the gist of eddyj’s question, which no one has really addressed, is whether search engines rank dynamically created web pages lower than static web pages.

In reply to: Need advice: How to transition large site to WordPressThanks so much for your quick and knowledegable reply, David!
Just to be sure, please confirm that what I think you said is actually what you said:
1. Install WordPress to my remote server, using the subdirectory installation instructions, which I found at
http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Installing_WordPress#In_a_Subdirectory2. Install any plugins and create my site’s WP template on my remote server.
3. Convert all of my existing Journal articles to WP posts (probably manually).
4. Move just my WP index.php and .htaccess files to my site’s root to make WP “live.” Where can I find the instructions for doing that? I’ve found 2 different articles that tell how to move all of the WP installation files:
Moving WordPress
and
Giving WordPress Its Own Directorybut I haven’t found an article that tells how to start with WP installed in its own folder and then move just the WP home page and .htaccess to the site’s root. I apologize if it’s right there under my nose, but at this point my brain is so overloaded with clicking back and forth among all of the WP support pages for the past week that I just can’t find it. 😉
P.S. I have a suggestion for whoever creates the WP documentation pages: I think it would be helpful to provide a link to
Installing WordPress In A Subdirectory
in the Special Insallations section of the Getting Started page. When I saw links to all of the other Special Installations there, but I didn’t see a link to how to do an initial installation in a sub-folder, I thought that maybe it wasn’t possible. Then you told me to look for it, and I ended up finding it inside the “normal” installation instructions. Or is there already a link to it there in the Special Installations section, but I’m so tired I’m not even seeing it?
LOL
