I am wondering though, on first look, this code appears to apply to an ENTIRE THEME rather than just one individual page or post on an “on-the-fly” basis – will this still work _only for one post_? And I, like other users too I think from searching through the forums, have trouble locating the WIDGET NAME in the sidebar or dynamic sidebar. * Thanks a lot for your help. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Category Posts Widget with Thumbnails](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-posts-widget-with-thumbnails/) * [jpxwordpress](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jpxwordpress/) * (@jpxwordpress) * [18 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-posts-widget-with-thumbnails/#post-643739) * Hi, first of all – AWESOME plug-in James, thank you for making it. I think this could really be one of the most useful plugins available for WordPress to a lot of people. Just wondering though if it would be possible to hack into it to allow me to add a thumbnail image (like an avatar) adjacent to the Category title w. link (which I would like to be bold) to represent the author of a regular column for my site? Any help on this from anyone would be greatly appreciate. * And also would be great to know if this (or for that matter any other widget) could be included directly into a post or page. That is something that I think is still lacking at least in the WordPress support forums. I’m sure it is possible to embed the contents of a widget or latest posts from a given category directly into a post or page by including the proper call to the right WP function, but that might be a tricky for those who are not at a certain programmer level I think. * Thanks to everyone who can help! : – ] * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Broke my own site when moving directory](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broke-my-own-site-when-moving-directory/) * [jpxwordpress](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jpxwordpress/) * (@jpxwordpress) * [18 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broke-my-own-site-when-moving-directory/page/2/#post-692816) * moshu, thank you! I don’t know what happened before – if the problem was that I incorrectly entered in the code to put into the ‘index.php’ file, or if it was because I altered my FTP client settings (this time) to allow for ‘Group Write’ for the ‘.htaccess’ file in my site’s root directory (per this post: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_File_Permissions)), but apparently it works now – I AM JUST SO RELIEVED that I will not have to re- post around 300 posts to the new edition of my blog site. Maybe it’s the little things I don’t know….. * Just one other question though, if I leave publishing settings as ‘Group Write’ for the ‘.htaccess’ file (allowing WordPress to auto-update the contents of this file), would that pose any security threats to my site – i.e. allowing any vulnerability to coding attacks of any kind? * Thank you so much again, I knew that WordPress still really rocks the house. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Broke my own site when moving directory](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broke-my-own-site-when-moving-directory/) * [jpxwordpress](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jpxwordpress/) * (@jpxwordpress) * [18 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broke-my-own-site-when-moving-directory/page/2/#post-692814) * Oh and I AM able to edit posts here: MYSITE.com/BLOG/wp-admin/edit.php * but when I try to view a post or the actual MYSITE.COM/BLOG * I get another ‘File not Found’ – arg. * ANOTHER UPDATE: Now all appears OK (at least in terms of being able to get back to the ‘BLOG/…..’ structure, which I still will want to get rid of eventually, and just move posts and categories to MYSITE.COM/etc), yet (at least in Firefox) when I try to Log Out, it won’t let me and re-directs me everytim to the Admin Dash. Oh and by the way I am using WP 2.5.1 – some craziness indeed….. I’m even wondering if it’s a server – hosting provider propagation thing – where it takes some time to update – I also tried to put: * WordPress address (URL): MYSITE.COM/ and Blog address (URL): MYSITE.COM/BLOG) * to try to take out the “blog” portion of the URL etc. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Broke my own site when moving directory](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broke-my-own-site-when-moving-directory/) * [jpxwordpress](https://wordpress.org/support/users/jpxwordpress/) * (@jpxwordpress) * [18 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/broke-my-own-site-when-moving-directory/#post-692813) * UPDATE: I was since able to retrieve my Admin-Dash (which fortunately game me access to all of my blog’s posts), but now, everytime I try to load a post (with the ‘*BLOG/’ removed – so before it was mysite.com/blog/a-post, no the URL on the home page lists as mysite.com/a-post – i.e. everything with the ‘BLOG’ is auto-removed), but I just get a 404 – File not Found everytime I click on the link. * Now I am wondering that EVEN if I have to start all over again, what will happen if I want to use my site’s root for posts – very perplexing and disturbing. I do of course have confidence that the posts are there, since they are in the database, but I would really like to resolve this issue.

Maybe I will try that. Kind of crazy that you have to use a beta version of a browser to edit correctly in WP 2.5… I am beginning to think that the root of the problem I have been having (with the inserting of link and image) may lie in some kind of issue between WP 2.5 and the Firefox browser (at least 2.0.0.13). At the same time, I am beginning to find more things about WP that I like, so I will continue to hang with it. * Best of luck to everyone.
