In reply to: Must the_excerpt start with a line break?This turned out to be quite easy actually. If I were more experienced with css I might have got it sooner. I code I went with, (which worked perfectly), was this:
<span style="display:inline-block;float:left;"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_author(); ?>: </span><?php the_excerpt(''); ?></a>Thanks again for your help.

In reply to: Must the_excerpt start with a line break?That still doesn’t work; actually though the previous code did work by wrapping the author name to the title, but it was indeed the wrong element.

In reply to: Must the_excerpt start with a line break?Thanks for the response, I’ve implemented it on the above link but unfortunately it hasn’t had an effect.
Any further ideas are most welcome 🙂
(Sorry for the late response, I haven’t been at my comp all weekend.)

In reply to: Must the_excerpt start with a line break?Oh sorry, please try again now. ‘Latest posts’ section is the relevant part. Yep excerpt and author are there.

In reply to: Must the_excerpt start with a line break?The obvious solution would be to look at reformatting the display using CSS but, without seeing the page, I can’t tell if that’s possible.
I’ve upped the theme here — ignore the broken images and so on as this page is contentless, unlike the actual site. How do you think CSS might be used?
Thank you.

In reply to: Must the_excerpt start with a line break?Hi emsi,
It will happen on any website: if you put content before of after the_excerpt, the excerpt puts itself on a new line.
E.g. the code:
before<?php the_excerpt(''); ?>afterwill display the following:
before the excerpt content yadda yadda... afterAny help on how to remove this line break would be most appreciated.
The website in question is being developed on a private server so I’m afraid I can’t offer a link.

In reply to: 404's on wp-admin and wp–comments-post.php…Thanks for the tips. I’ve ruled out 1, 2 and 3. The .htaccess file in the root dir contains the following (followed by some redirects, which I’ll assume are irrelevant for now):
# BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /foo/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /em/index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPressBtw, just noticed the ‘Rewrite Base /foo/’ line, no idea what that’s about, but removing the ‘foo’ doesn’t resolve the problem.
Also, my post from y’day might provide some more insight: http://ww.wp.xz.cn/support/topic/500-error-on-permalinks?replies=2

In reply to: 404's on wp-admin and wp–comments-post.php…Which part specifically?
The entire server was mirrored on to the new one, so there should be no changes in setting I don’t think?

In reply to: Can't insert Youtube on Home Page but appears in postCool. How do I disable _excerpt();?
Thanks.
Open up the theme file index.php in a text editor, do a search for the_excerpt, and change it to the_content. That should sort it out.

In reply to: Can I delete original site after implementing 301 redirects?Yeah I seen your point. I’m actually having some problems with 301’s taking effect with a couple of test redirects I tried out, so I’ll have to see if I can sort that out before I proceed anyway.
Thanks for the input and I’ll keep this thread updated.

In reply to: Can I delete original site after implementing 301 redirects?simplistik, I was taking my info from this google webmasters post:
Don’t do a blanket redirect directing all traffic from your old site to your new home page. This will avoid 404 errors, but it’s not a good user experience. A page-to-page redirect (where each page on the old site gets redirected to the corresponding page on the new site) is more work, but gives your users a consistent and transparent experience.
Do you think I’ve interpreted it wrongly?
Thanks for the help.

In reply to: Moved entire blog now Special Characters won’t display rightSorry for the late reply.
I ended up using the Search & Replace plugin – I figured it was less of a risk than reuploading the entire database again. Great plugin, thanks for the reccommendation.
There are actually a surprising number of foreign characters on my blog and some still remain, so I will try out your suggestion Helil.
Thanks for the help.
