In reply to: Mobile phone photo blogSomething like that. Flickr will let you do that:
1) Take picture
2) Email from phone to the address Flickr gives you. That will put the pictures into your Flickr account.
or
2) Email to the second address Flickr will give you. Picture goes direct to your blog. The layout of text can be a bit messy, but for getting pictures online direct from your phone, it’s not bad.Other photo services quite possibly do something similar – Flickr just happens to be one I know does work with WordPress.

In reply to: New Plugin: Top CatYes, that’s exactly right – I don’t have a category 3. I must have deleted it at some point. Thanks.

In reply to: Search Forum Now Using Google. Why?Err, is it? I rather like the Google search – it returns results in a format I find more useful.

In reply to: Post Became Comment Weirdness?If you’re linking to posts on your site, refer to them by the path from the root:
/wordpress/2005/05/25/whateveritscalled/rather than
http://yoursite.com/wordpress/2005/05/25/whateveritscalled/That will stop the internal pings.

In reply to: wp-nice-categories15.php problemsDo you mean this one? There’s a newer version, which I mentioned in this post. I’m using it with no problem since the latest release came out.
However, the error you’re getting is a common one. See the codex:

In reply to: New Plugin: Top CatHmmm. Looks like it might be useful (it would tie in with something else I’m fiddling with), but I’ve got a bit of a problem. I only get radio buttons for two categories. You can see what I mean in this post on my site. That’s with Firefox 1.0.4, WinXP.
Any ideas?
EDIT: Just checked, and it appears the same in *shudder* IE6

In reply to: Can someone please tell me where I can download WP 1.5If you really need an old version try here.
What did the newer version do to your template?
The closing / at the end of img tags is valid XHTML- it’s supposed to be there, and I can’t see why that would stop your images appearing. Can you give a link to a post where this is happening, so we can have a look?
As to the width issue, again, we need a little more information – which template are you using? But mostly, a link to your site is needed for anyone to give any really useful advice. A lot of people here can give a lot of help, but it’s difficult without being able to see the site in question.

In reply to: Blog NotifierThe Subscribe2 plugin might be a good starting point. It’s intened to work with a sign-up page rather than a box on the sidebar, but it does do the job.

In reply to: List Draft Posts to PublicNow that’s what I like about these forums. That’s something I’d never even thought of doing, but as soon as I read it, I thought “oooh, I lke that”.
What I’d like to see (and I think I’ll have a go myself, might learn some PHP in the process, can’t be a bad thing) is to group the list by post category. So you could have “Coming soon in Wibble[1]” or “Coming soon in Burble” and so on. Thanks for the idea, and the code, guys 🙂
[1] Or whatever your categories are

In reply to: Problems with javascriptJust tried that on a test site, and if you paste it in exactly as shown, it won’t work. That’s because of the line break in the
<script>tag. WP inserts<br>tags, which breaks the script.Edit this bit:
<script type="text/javascript"
src="http://data.metcentral.com/jscript/swellChart.js">
</script>To this:
<script type="text/javascript" src="http://data.metcentral.com/jscript/swellChart.js"></script>And it should work. (If it wraps above, just make sure there is no line break in your post between “text/javascript” and src.

In reply to: Firefox WordPress Search PluginWorks for me. You should have an arrow to the left of Firefox’s search box. Pull it down, and select the engine of your choice…

In reply to: Serious help neededThe error generally means that WP is having trouble connecting to the database[1]. You need to check that you have the right values –
1. Are you sure the database has been created, and that the user name and password really are the same as your FTP account?
2. Are you sure the database host really is “localhost”? Some hosts have the database on a different box from the web server.
Depending on your set up, you should be able to check these from your control panel, otherwise ask your host.

In reply to: Remove [SPAM] from email postsI don’t think WordPress is doing that. [SPAM] is the kind of tag that might be being added by your mail provider’s spam filter before the mail gets to you. Are you running any spam filtering yourself?
