In reply to: Olivia 0.9.5 by Mark GoddardThe theme is coded differently than most; I haven’t ever come across the function “define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);” in a theme before. That said, it must be there for a reason – perhaps some moderator can help.
If your site works fine in IE with other themes, then we know it must be something with that theme. All I can suggest is to contact the theme author and let him know about your issue. However, there are tons of themes out there for wordpress, so if its possible it may be a good idea to just use a different theme.

In reply to: Uploading themes and pluginsWith wordpress 2.8.4 you can add plugins and themes right from wordpress. In your backend, click “appearance” or “plugins” and look for “add new”.
In addition, you can download themes and plugins from http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend and check out the plugins or themes directory. You will download a .zip file and upload it via FTP to your themes or plugins directory on your web server. If you have no idea what I just said, I would recommend reading the Getting Started with WordPress guide: http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Getting_Started_with_WordPress and looking through the codex a few times.
Good luck.

In reply to: How To Edit Simple SidebarYes, could you please paste the sidebar.php here? be sure to use backticks or the code button. If you have more than one sidebar.php file, paste those too. (i.e. sidebar2.php)

In reply to: Joomla to WordPressHey mkabwilliams,
Sorry for not understanding you correctly. You can add a navigation menu to your site that displays your categories. For example, if your joke categories are “Sex, Politics, Women, Men, Food” you can have those as links. When the user clicks the link they’ll go to that category page and see all posts under that category.
Is this what you want?
If so, and if you some idea of php and WP template tags, you should check out this codex link: http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Template_Tags/wp_list_categories

In reply to: Olivia 0.9.5 by Mark GoddardHi Kevin,
I did some research on your theme and it looks like it was last updated in November of 2008. Obviously this isn’t a good sign as there have been many updates to wordpress since then. I don’t have IE so I can’t test your issue but I would suggest you remove the theme and then re-install it, just to see what happens.
Here’s the link to the plugin and it’s author: http://blog.0100.tv/2008/11/olivia-wordpress-theme-launched/ He has a contact page and a twitter link if you want to get in touch with him. Most times theme authors are able and willing to answer people’s questions.
Can you paste your index.php page here? be sure to put it inbetween backticks or click the code button.

In reply to: Display a post in a different directory?Hey James,
you might want to try this:
<?php include('blog/wp-blog-header.php'); query_posts("showposts=1"); while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> [[insert html/template tags here (from index.php) - whatever you want to include]] <?php the_content(); ?> <?php endwhile; ?>Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: Permalinks and CategoriesYou can have sub-pages which appear under the parent page. For example, if you have a page called “staff”, and create pages for each staff member, you can have links like “/staff/john/”. Do this by changing your permalinks to a custom structure; put in “/%postname%/” without the quotes.
When you create pages be sure to look on the right hand side and look for Attributes and “parent”. From the drop-down list select the parent page (in your case it would probably be staff).
I hope that helps. Please let me know if you have any more questions.

In reply to: How To Edit Simple SidebarIn your dashboard, go to Appearance -> Widgets. Look on the right hand side. Do you see two sidebar sections to drag and drop widgets into? If so, make sure there are widgets in that second section.

I guess it automates the 301 redirect, so you don’t have to do it one by one.

In reply to: Lost paragraph indents… no spaces between paragraphsI looked at your site and saw that the current posts have spacing between the paragraphs. This tells us that your styling and layout are all OK. I would suggest deleting that draft and starting a new one. Let me know how that works.

In reply to: Lost paragraph indents… no spaces between paragraphsGreat, but could you also include the index.php as well as a link to your site?
When you paste the index.php, please put it in between backticks. It will not paste correctly if you don’t. A backtick looks like this

In reply to: Lost paragraph indents… no spaces between paragraphsCan you please put your index.php and style.css? And perhaps a link of your site? Thanks. Be sure to put the code in between backticks.
