In reply to: All in One SEO Pack Options Don’t Save on PagesThis got resolved when I updated the latest version of All in One SEO. Perhaps there was a bug fix for this.

In reply to: How to insert a Flash Splash Screen Before WordPressYou could create a page template with the flash video, apply it a certain page, and then set that page as the front page under the reading options.
However, I highly discourage using a flash splash screen. It’s bad for SEO and it slows down users from getting to your actual content.
If you want to read more about this, I wrote an article about splash screens.

In reply to: permalinks and latest release 404 issuesWho is your host? GoDaddy takes at least an hour to update the .htaccess file when you change the permalink structure. I’ve gotten an issue similar to this with them.

In reply to: lost password and usernameAre you self-hosted (using your own hosting company) or on WordPress.com?
If you’re self hosted, can you log into you site via ftp?

In reply to: Restricting access to widgetsYou’d replace your current sidebar call in every template with something like this:
<?php if ( is_user_logged_in() ) { get_sidebar('logged-in'); } else { get_sidebar('visitor'); }; ?>For further reading, see sidebar calls.
Or if you’re looking to have dynamic sidebars (and who doesn’t want that), try reading up on this.

In reply to: Title Tag issueAh, gotcha. Install the All in One SEO plugin, or the LightSEO plug-in. That should be easier than messing with your templates.

In reply to: increase media library upload file size limitHey Shane. Can you be more specific about where that code goes? Is it the .htaccess file at the root of the domain? Will it get overwritten if you change the permalink structure?
Here’s what my .htaccess file looks like- when I add the code inside the <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> it brings down the site, so I’m assuming it goes somewhere else:
# BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPressForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Disable Request for CommentYou can delete the comments from your template files, or uncheck “Allow Comments” from the page/post editor.
If you’re not sure how to delete the comments from your template files, post the code from your page.php file and someone will let you know what needs to be removed.

In reply to: Line breaks for long navigation titles???Set the width through the css. That should break up the words into separate lines. What’s the link to your site?

In reply to: Restricting access to widgetsCheck out this http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Function_Reference/is_user_logged_in.
You could display two sidebars, one for logged in users, and another for non-logged in users.
Delete the category info from your single.php template.

In reply to: How to create curvy menuYou can class each item individually and give them different paddings. For instance, if your menu is:
<ul> <li id="homehp"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>">Home</a></li> <li id="listingshp"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/featured-listings">Featured Listings</a></li> <li id="abouthp"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/about-julie">Why Choose Julie?</a></li> <li id="piedmonthp"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/why-choose-piedmont">Why Choose Piedmont?</a></li> <li id="clientshp"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/clients">Client Notes</a></li> <li id="communityhp"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/community">Community Ties</a></li> <li id="contacthp"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/contact">Contact Me</a></li> </ul>You can do stuff like this in the css:
#homehp {padding-top:10px;} #listingshp {padding-top:5px;} #abouthp {padding-top:0px;}Forum: Themes and Templates

In reply to: Looking for simple theme…I don’t think you’ll find many themes without a sidebar. You could try the Kirby theme, and just delete the sidebar call from the template files.

In reply to: Boumatic / Thematic – how to modify the themeThat’s no way to get help. Ask for extra clarifications. The moderators are your friends.
<?php thematic_navigation_above();?> is a function you can plug into- but that’s probably not what you want to change the actual navigation bar. Try reading this http://wordpresstheming.com/2009/11/filter-menus-in-thematic/. You can add conditional statements to display a different menu on a single page and index page.
Most sidebar changes can be made through the stylesheet. What exactly are you trying to do there? Also, the Thematic forum is really good for answering Thematic specific questions.
