In reply to: Move the default summary blog page to /blog/ ?I think I’ve fixed it now…
I installed it in root, changed the main page to a static page which I’ve made up, and updated all the permalink structure to put blog posts under /blog/ . The problem was that the page at /blog/ didn’t have anything useful in it- but I’ve hacked over a special template for it and it seems to be working now.

Same problemmo here- the server returns “0” and doesn’t do anything.
I’m on latest version with no activated plugins. Any ideas?
This problem has cropped up several times here, but has never raised any interest or response from anyone with ideas.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WP is adding (bad) markup to my pagesI managed to fix this problem by commenting out
add_filter('the_content', 'wpautop');
in the default_filters file-
I guess the question is, why does WordPress apply so many filters to raw code? Should it be applying any?Forum: Plugins
In reply to: textarea in postFancy pointing us to the plugin which disables the gizmo? Can’t find any nice way or ripping it out myself.

In reply to: textarea in postThis has been listed as a bug for the last three months (http://trac.ww.wp.xz.cn/ticket/4645) and for me it rules out WP as a CMS entirely, partyle because I need to use <textarea> and partly because it makes me wonder what other basic tag filtering isn’t being done, and the problems that might cause in the future.
I’ll poke about in the source and see if a hack can be shunted together.

In reply to: Starting with WordPress and making it work as a full CMSYou might want to bear in mind that WP can’t handle forms in your pages (or more specifically </textarea> tags) without breaking, so check WP can do everything you would want before jumping in.

In reply to: Trying to page name in Permalinks links, but images won’t load.Probably; You need to reference your images absolutely, not relatively.
Say your images are in the same folder as index.php –
if your page is at /mypages/index.php?p=mypage and your images are referenced like this <img src=”myimg.jpg” /> then it works fine.If however you set the page url to be /mypermalinks/mypage- then those relative image src’s will point to /myperlalinks/mypage/myimg.jpg- and it’s not there! the htaccess file will point the 404 image to index.php?p=mypermalinks/mypage/myimg.jpg- and it’s not there either!
Solution:
Use absolute referecnes
</p>
That is, work out the absolute reference for your images (probably ‘/images/’ or ‘/wp-uploads/’ and not ‘images/’ or ‘wp-uploads’) and correct all your img tags.
