  • DavidSpeaks: I don’t think that’s the solution we’re looking for. We want to truncate the posts themselves, not provide a tag that allows users to view the full post on our site. The more tag is simply a way to split a post and force the reader to click through to view the rest of it while remaining on our site. The OP (and I) seems to want to only post an excerpt to the WordPress database and not include more than that.

    Could this have anything to do with the fact that I’m running PHP 4.4.9?
    I’m not seeing this issue on another server running PHP 5.2.9.

    I don’t understand this.
    I have two sites. One has this issue, the other does not. Both are hosted by the same company.

    Why custom files to fix something as simple as being able to save general settings?

    Having the same issue right now. Why must we add code to .htaccess in order to get something as simple as the general settings to save? And why is this necessary for one of my sites, but not another one, when both are on the same host?

    Thanks for the response! I found the issue (somehow the config file was incorrect… I have been working on multiple sites today and I must have swapped the file). It was my fault, although I’m finding additional problems with the theme now after the upgrade. I’m going to contact the theme developer and see what he says about that before I go further in the forums here.

    Thanks again.

    Glad I could help out. I’m usually the one posting questions and looking for others to help me, so I’m glad that I’ve finally contributed something. 🙂

    I submitted a bug to the WP group, so hopefully this will be corrected in the next bug fix release. Until then, leave out the single quotes. That worked for me.

    The edits fixed it for me too, but the second of the two edits for the 1px shift problem caused a problem in the header. My guess is that it’s because I have some ads up there, so I just took that part of the fix out, and everything worked.

    This part worked:

    Replace:
    #footer{background:url("< ?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/kubrickfooter.jpg�?) no-repeat bottom; border: none;}

    With:
    #footer{background:url("< ?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/kubrickfooter.jpg�?) no-repeat bottom left; border: none; }
    #footer { /margin-left: 2px; }

    This part caused the issue with the header, so I left it out:

    Replace:
    #header { margin: 0 !important; margin: 0 0 0 1px; padding: 1px; height: 198px; width: 758px; }

    With:
    #header { margin: 0 !important; margin: 0 0 0 2px; padding: 1px; height: 198px; width: 758px; }

    Hi Tack,

    Yeah, I didn’t notice it before I posted the question, but it looks fine in Safari, too. Just Firefox has the problem for me. I see that you have already corrected it and blogged about it, so I’m on my way to fix it now. Was this just Firefox 1.5? I just upgraded a few weeks ago, and think that I would have noticed if 1.0 caused the same problem. When I first set things up, I was making all sorts of edits, so it’s pretty sad if I managed to miss that the footer was a bit off. Anyway, I’m off to fix it now.

    Thanks! I see it now. I’ll be upgrading to WP 2.0, but not until I test it out on another domain for a few weeks.

    OK, what am I missing here? I see all these references to being able to upload images via the WordPress admin interface. Where is this? Some have referred to an “upload” tab. I don’t see that tab anywhere. I am using version 1.5.1.3 of WordPress. If someone could point me in the right direction, I’d really appreciate it. It’s really annoying trying to work with images in WordPress, so maybe I’m missing something. Thanks!

    I found a not-so-graceful way to get this done. Add the following code just under <h2 class="pagetitle">Archive for the '<?php echo single_cat_title(); ?>' Category</h2>.
    ———————————————————-
    <p align="center"><a href="feed:http://www.website.com/index.php/category/<?php echo single_cat_title(); ?>/feed/"><img style="vertical-align:middle" src="/wp-content/themes/default/images/badge_xml_rss2.png"></a> <a href="feed:http://www.website.com/index.php/category/<?php echo single_cat_title(); ?>/feed/">Subscribe to the RSS 2.0 feed for this category.</a>

    ———————————————————-
    This is all done in the archive.php file.

    Obviously, you have to change “website.com” to your domain. It is in two places above.

    Until something better comes along, this will have to do.

    Yeah, neither worked. Thanks for trying though. 🙂
    Anyone else have any ideas? This has to have been done somewhere.

    This was driving my nuts when I tried looking for it! Thanks for posting this. All is well now with my site.

    I can reproduce this problem. Searching works fine EXCEPT when searching from a page or a single post. If I view a post or my About page, for example, I get a 404 error. I’m using the Kubrick theme.

    A look at your blog shows me that you have already learned how to do this. Hope it helps someone else with the same question in the future. 🙂
