Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Still CrazyNice!!
I kept an install of 1.5.x for quite a while, after people were saying it was a security risk, it continued working for me. But I have since found time to upgrade, and liked some of the newer features so I did the upgrades (now on 2.7).

In reply to: Call to ban MaxBlogPress pluginsI block MaxBlogPress spams from my email account.
They’re very pushy emails, proving that the person knows very little about ‘marketing’ although they claim to be an expert.
Thankfully no other plugin author is known to do this. Please, plugin authors, do not start this bad habit, and thank you to all the others who contribute genuinely free & unencumbered plugins to the community. The sharing, open source spirit is what makes WordPress work.
I don’t know what ‘banning’ would mean. The person can make whatever plugins they want. It is very likely that this kind of plugin will eventually be removed from the official Plugins database http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/ for the same kind of reasons that over 200 themes were removed from the Theme Directory a month ago, when Matt M. (the founder of WP) realized they were not compatible with the GPL license (or, the free philosophy of the authors of WP). In that case, those theme authors can still make their themes, and users may still choose to use them (or even buy them), but this website will not distribute those themes. They have to distribute it on their own website, if they want to include the objectionable stuff.

In reply to: tag cloudTry it again, and put it in the correct place this time, for example inside The Loop (you know what this is?) on the single.php Single Post Template of your current theme (you know where this is?).
If that doesn’t work then read the link I gave you in detail. It is the documentation that explains everything about this code, I would just be repeating what that link says.
Also, just so you know, it is not a Cloud when it is related to 1 post. The tag cloud makes a cloud from the tags of alllll posts, that is how it makes the cloud with bigger (more commonly used tags) and smaller (less used tags). On the single post, each tag is used exactly once, so there isn’t bigger and smaller with
the_tags, more like a list instead.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: annual upgradeBacking up your database is one thing, backing up all your files is another thing (a major, important thing).
wp-config is a file. It isn’t in your database. It lives in your FTP, in your WordPress folder. Go into the backup of your files and find the old wp-config, and use the exact same details from it, to make sure you got everything right such as username, password, and table prefix.
If you simply don’t have it, then anyway, just put the correct username, password, and table prefix in your wp-config and it should work. If these are filled in wrong, I think it should say “cannot connect to database”. If you’re not getting that error message you may have something else wrong, it’s hard to tell from what you said so far.
For the future, when you’re preparing to upgrade, do NOT delete wp-config, and do NOT delete your wp-contents folder. You delete everything else WordPress before upgrading.

In reply to: the link below hello world I have deleted by mistake Help.Shane, in WP 2.7 your bestwpthemez site’s advice is out-dated because there is not a “Write” tab now. There is a “Posts” tab instead.

In reply to: I found a <d> in a my comments.phpNot sure what
<d>is, I think nothing, by itself.comments.php comes with your theme, so it could be a mistake made by your theme’s author.
They might’ve meant to put
<div>, so you could look later in your comments.php and see if there would be an orphaned</div>Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Posts showing in wrong orderIf you’re using WP 2.7 then they might be Sticky posts. You would go into edit the 1st two posts, and uncheck Sticky.

In reply to: Don’t Have Design -> Extras on my blog to turn off Related PostsDo you know if you are using WordPress.com or the self-installed ww.wp.xz.cn? If you’re using the free .com then this forum is not the right forum, they have their own forum on .com
WP.com has a related posts thing built in so that might be what you’re asking for.
In the self-installed version, you’d only have Related Posts if you installed such a plugin. In that case, go into your Plugins > Installed, and deactivate the plugin you don’t want, or if it’s a widget then go into Design > Widgets, and disable that widget.

In reply to: annual upgradeRefer to the details in your wp-config file that you were using before you started the upgrade.
Hopefully you made a back-up of wp-config before starting this.

It should show up on your front page. Sounds like maybe you deleted the Hello World post, and now you have no posts to show.

In reply to: Using php in posts?There might be a plugin that does what you want using shortcode [hide-this] something like this [/hide-this]
But I don’t know the name of that plugin, if it exists.
If you want to run PHP inside a Post, I think you need to install a plugin like Run PHP,

In reply to: Customizing / Hacking Admin, specifically “Write a new post” functionalityI maybe missing something, but I don’t see what the big hack is. Most of what you mentioned is in WP out-of-the-box. Image Uploading is already a major part of WP 2.7, and they’ve talked about continuing to improve the default behavior in WP 2.8.
Also in WP 2.7, the feature to disable any sections of Write Post that you do not like, and to move the order of them around. You want the excerpt box higher on the Write Post page? Drag it up there. You want “Trackbacks” hidden? Go into Screen Options and hide Trackbacks. It is highly customizable out-of-the-box.
If you wish to add fields: the default way is the Custom Fields area that’s already there. If you want to make it nicer looking fields and more obvious for your Authors, try a plugin like Custom Fields Templates.
http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/custom-field-template/If you want to go deeper, which it sounds like you’re saying you do, try the Pods plugin. It is made for customizing the Write Post area.
http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/pods/For your idea of 1 or more images associated with each post, simply use Custom Fields, out-of-the-box or in conjunction with either plugin I mentioned. For example you might make the custom fields:
KEY="Big frontpage image 500x500" VALUE="http://photobucket.com/username/bigpicture500.jpg" KEY="Small frontpage image 100x100" VALUE="http://photobucket.com/username/small-100.jpg"
