Have you tried the query_posts() function? If not, you just add it before your WordPress Loop and it allows you to specify what the loop returns. In your situation, the following would work. You just need to change the numbers to the id’s of the categories that you wish displayed:

<?php query_posts( 'cat=2,6' ); ?>

Daniel, Unfortunately, I do not think that there is, without some hackery at least 🙂

This plugin has always worked for me:
http://www.jenst.se/2008/03/29/wp-page-numbers/

instead of:
wp_list_categories('sort_column=name&title_li=&depth=4');

try:

wp_list_categories('sort_column=name&title_li=&depth=4&exclude=1,2,3');

where “1,2,3” are the ids of the categories the you wish to exclude in ascending order.

Unfortunately, there is no setting to change to fix this. WordPress stores the full path to the image in the “postmeta” table in a record with the “meta_key” of _wp_attached_file. Depending on how many images you have, there are different solutions:

1. Only a few images: Open up phpmyadmin – if available – and edit the paths by hand.

2. Import and Export: Thankfully, WordPress has given us a powerful tools which allows us to import and export data – including attachments – between servers. I usually develop locally and would be lost without this feature. It lives in the WordPress Administration Panels under “Tools”.

3. Find and Replace: Give this script a try: http://spectacu.la/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/ . I’ve never used it, but seems to do what you need it to.

Image Comments
No plugin is needed for this functionality as it is built into the core. You may, however, need to activate it for your theme.

Check to see if your theme has an image.php file. If so open it in a text editor and search for the following code: <?php comments_template(); ?>. If you cannot find it, add it inside your loop.

If no image.php file can be found, try the same process with attachment.php.

Image Tags
This is a little trickier. I have found this plugin:
http://ww.wp.xz.cn/extend/plugins/media-tags/

But it currently does not work on 2.8.6 only 2.8.4. Everything seems to work with it except the custom taxonomy archive pages. Something must have changed in WordPress core between these version that is causing it to fail.

toyNN, I took a look into this and the <br /> is being inserted by the wpautop() function. This function treats the <input> element as a “block”. Unfortunately, there is no easy way to filter this function.

The following solution is not the best, but will work.

add_filter( 'the_content', 'no_block_for_input', 2000 );
function no_block_for_input( $c ) {
	return preg_replace( '/<br \/>\s<input/', '<input', $c );
}

Please bear in mind that it will remove all <br /> elements from the beginning of inputs posted via the Edit Post Content box which may be undesirable…. best I could do though :)’

May be someone else knows how to better address this?

@asbo6544 – Thanks for the kind words 🙂 Yes, when you upgrade WordPress, the code I posted above will work just fine, Best wishes.
