Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Liveblog] [Plugin: Liveblog] Twitter oEmbed Not DisplayedLiveblog uses a Custom Comment Type, so you’re effectively posting a Comment when using the plugin; it just does a lot of other nifty stuff as well!
Evan Solomon discovered that oEmbed doesn’t work with Comments, as it does Posts. Now I haven’t tested it out, but you could try enabling his plugin, and see if that solves your problem?
I agree though, it would be useful if they could work together! 😀
Forum: Alpha/Beta/RC
In reply to: Pointers won't go away in IE with v3.3-aortic-dissectionThe change Alex talks about was committed just before Beta 1 was tagged! I’d like to think it was maybe browser specific, but saying that, I’ve not had any problems with them on IE9.

In reply to: Changing the text 'Leave a reply'As was mentioned several times throughout the other thread, there is a good chance you’ll be looking for the
comment_form();function within your comments.php file (if you can’t find the text itself?)You’re looking to add an array of arguments, as shown on the Codex, to the function like the couple of examples below:
<?php comment_form( array( 'title_reply' => 'Go on, Leave a Reply!' ) ); ?><?php comment_form( array( 'title_reply' => 'Want to Reply?', 'label_submit' => 'Post Comment' ) ); ?>A link to your website would be particularly useful so we could see what ‘News’ theme you’re actually using, is it one freely available on Extend, or Premium? 🙂

In reply to: Changing CategoriesIn answer to your first question, it doesn’t matter what category (sub or not), it will always default to the default category you have set in Settings > Writing (so choose wisely!)
You could utilise the Bulk Editor for reassigning the categories, or possibily go down the route of renaming each category and removing the parent category in the process; the last resort would be to alter each post by hand.
Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: Potential ww.wp.xz.cn Improvement ProjectsIn general I’d agree with most of the ideas stated within the thread, and my thoughts of (at least the main areas) were left on my blog a week ago, for the fact nothing had been written in here! 🙂
Summary of what I said though;
- Start using WordPress throughout the site.
- Please stop using MediaWiki, and switch the Codex over!
- SINGLE LOGIN (Nuff said on that!)
- Clean up, and organise Extend.
- Our WordPress Profiles…?
And yes, I’d like to help out in some way or another, wherever I possibly can … but I’m not sure if I can fully dedicate hours upon hours each week, although I can be around!? (They call it life outside the interwebs apparently!)
I’m here anyway, just give us a shout!
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: How to visit a taxonomy archiveYeah, how stupid that
/location/just 404’s on you, where do I start? We shouldn’t need to create a seperate page, just to cover up something! 🙁 In February, there was a discussion that I started on this very topic which got 75+ replies, so it struck nerve somewhere … just look and see how many people agree that something needs to be altered! 😀That’s not to mention all the people I talked to on Twitter, and various other places who agreed with what I and others were saying on the matter!

In reply to: New Default WordPress Theme?Edit: Should type faster, and stop looking at other pages, looks like Jeff got in with what I’d like to see too! … But glad I’m not the only one!
I think (And have already said it before on Twitter!) that 2010 should showcase what WordPress can actually do, yes, more people look at it as just blogging software and expect nothing more than a blog look and feel to it! – But fact is, as many of us already know, it’s more than that! 🙂 As Jane has semi-mentioned in her post above!
So what I’m really saying is, WordPress has loads of features, yet the default theme doesn’t take advantage of at least 50% of them, one being the Post Thumbnails. One minute it was built into the default theme, and next it was removed again!
I’m sure I could go on and on, but I think (And hope!) you see what I’m on about! 😉 It’d finally be good to see a default theme that had all the template pages covered!
