In reply to: Google Sitemaps – 404 Verification ProblemYeah, now I’m having the problem that even when I type in the name of a page that I know isn’t there, it just loads the main index file. Ugh.

In reply to: Google Sitemaps – 404 Verification ProblemI’ve been having the same exact problem. I even edited my .htaccess file to point to a 404 php page with the single line
<?php header('Status: 404 Not Found'): ?>. But Google still won’t verify it.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: linking images to postsYeah, antonskey, that’s actually what we were doing before getting our hands on kafkaesqui’s excellent post_image plugin. There were a couple problems with the method you talked about, though. First of all, some of the album reviews we needed to fetch images for were from demo albums that didn’t have artwork. We wanted a way to automatically call a default image when an image wasn’t available (which post_image provides). I was also concerned with complicating the workflow for adding images when a lot of the contributors to our site aren’t that computer-savy. Being able to just upload an image with any filename directly through the post page in WordPress and have it automatically associate itself with the post made things work a lot smoother. I highly recommend post_image.

In reply to: Sending Blog Entries As EmailsThe plugin “WP-EMail” does the trick for me. You can find it here:

In reply to: linking images to postsEverything works as expected. Thanks so much for giving me a solution that was so simple and flexible. If you want to see how it worked out for me, you can check out the site:

If you click around, you’ll see that some articles use a default image (a “B&P” logo) like you talked about. The site’s not opening til March 10th, so it’s still on my testing server and still undergoing plenty of design and content changes. But with this plugin the rest of the development should go a lot smoother than anticipated. We’ll be thanking and linking you on our credits page. Thanks again.

I’ll post back here with any comments. And probably gushing praise.

In reply to: linking images to posts“I’ll slip in some file checking to make sure it’s actually there, and drop in another parameter for a default image to display if none exists.”
Beautiful, thanks a lot.

In reply to: linking images to postsI really can’t believe that I asked for some advice 4 hours earlier and it’s now a plug-in.
I think the only other thing I could ask for is some way to avoid the bad image link icon (or possible php error) that would result from me calling post_image() for a post that didn’t have an image uploaded to it. A number of the bands we’re going to be reviewing for my site are doing self-releases and don’t even have cover art. If there was some way for the plug-in to automatically just fill the space the photo would take if there’s not an image available would be perfect.

In reply to: linking images to postsYeah sgluskin, ditto on basically everything Kafkaesqui said. To give you an example, I need it for the template I’m working on because I want to be able to put the image for the post in a place other than the main post area. I need the image to be in a separate table cell than the main content. I also want to be able to use it for category archive pages. Basically, I just need to separate it from the text content.
I’m also concerned with having a number of contributors to my site (who aren’t that computer-literate in the first place) spending too much time renaming and editing images to get them to show up in the template in the correct places.
Something like getImage() would allow me to do what I want with images at the template stage, so I don’t have to institute a workflow for images that my contributors need to worry about.

In reply to: linking images to postsIncredible, Kafkaesqui! Thanks so much, I was sifting through pages and pages of forum posts for an answer and not finding anything.
A few ideas about the plug-in:
– It would be great if it was integrated with the built-in WordPress image uploader so that a call of, say getImage(theID()); automatically gave you the first image uploaded for the post.
– It would be even better if you could somehow assign an offset and a number of images option to the function, so that if there is more than one image you could easily get just the third one, or the third through fourth, for example.
After seeing this amazing show of support from WordPress users, I am definitely a user for life.
