Esmi’s solution does seem to have a syntax error (mismatched quotes?), but when I made those corrections it still didn’t work.

It appears that a recent change to WordPress broke that solution — at least according to the Codex article on Using Password Protection and my tests on WP 3.5-alpha-21466 (sorry, but I haven’t reset my test environment to 3.4.1).

A different solution from the forums, does seem to work:

function custom_password_form($form) {
  $subs = array(
    '#<p>This post is password protected. To view it please enter your password below:</p>#' => '<p>This is the new message.</p>'
  );

  echo preg_replace(array_keys($subs), array_values($subs), $form);
}
add_filter('the_password_form', 'custom_password_form');

Ref: http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/password-protect-this-post-change-text?replies=6 While it’s for WP 2.6 from four years ago and so may not be using the most recent features, it seems simple enough and the post shows examples of how to add CSS to the form elements.

You can set the Publish Date for a post to be at a time in the future.

See the description of “Publish Box” in the Codex page on Writing Posts.

That should work as long as your theme is showing the “most recent special” — just set the time of each post so that it is the earliest time you want that special to appear.

If that doesn’t make sense, a link to your site might help us understand what, exactly, you’re trying to do.

This isn’t the most elegant code, but what if you replace the “$childcats=” line above with

$childcats3  = get_categories(array('child_of' => 3));
$childcats61 = get_categories(array('child_of' => 61));
$childcats = array_merge($childcats3,$childcats61);

See array_merge

I only get that error if the category doesn’t have any children that have posts. So my bad. I should have checked for that.

What if you change my code to

<?php
$excludechildren="";
$childcats  = get_categories(array('child_of' => 61));
if (sizeof($childcats) > 0) {
      foreach ($childcats as $key => $cat) {
          $catids[$key] = $cat -> cat_ID;
      }
      $excludechildren = ' AND '.implode(' AND ',$catids);
}
previous_post_link('%link','%title',FALSE,'3 AND 61'.$excludechildren);
?>

If your category 61 does have child categories that have posts, something else is going on.

When you do want all the children of a given category (whether or not there are posts there), you may want to add “‘hide_empty’ => 0,” to the array of parameters for the get_categories function.

If you’d posted this link on your earlier post you might have received help faster.

It looks as if you’re using CalPress Event Calendar, and I’ve added a tag for that to this post. (But it would have been helpful if you’d said that explicitly.)

I did a quick test, and it appears you’re right. Any links added to the description section of the event don’t appear in the front-end view of that specific event.

You may want to look at the options for plugin support at http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/plugin/calpress-event-calendar

Or if I’ve misinterpreted things and you’re using a different calenddar plugin, please do let us know what it is.

If you are using the default theme, Twenty Eleven, you might want to check out the plugin http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/twenty-eleven-theme-extensions/

That plugin may not be the final answer for you, but as you get more comfortable with WordPress, you’ll find other ways to address this issue (Google “add sidebars to posts in twenty eleven wordpress” for coding options, choose another theme, etc.).

But the plugin may be a quick fix since it appears you’ve just started using WordPress.
