In reply to: Where is the WP15 Search function?It shouldn’t be in 1.5. It was removed with this change.

In reply to: 1.5 file permissions and ownershipIf you’re using a cgi wrapper and suexec, you can make everything 644. File permissions are probably not the problem though (at least, not the only problem). If you are using FC3, you are likely bumping up against SELinux. Launch system-config-securitylevel as root and go to SELinux->HTTPD Service. Tweak the settings there. You can simply bypass SELinux for HTTPD by checking “Disable SELinux protection for httpd daemon.”

In reply to: greymatter import gives odd warning?The directory /home/my/site/cgi-bin/greymatter/archives/ doesn’t exist. “Path to GM Files:” needs to point to wherever your GM files live. Maybe they’re somewhere under /home/.mumford/lizmarie/perspicacious.org/cgi-bin/.

In reply to: I can’t get to pages in the Admin that use Dir/file.phpYou can try this version of the menu-header.php file which fixes some menu bugs. You should be able to drop it in as replacement for the 1.5 version of the file. Save the old one just in case.

In reply to: Plugin Options not working as intendedThere is no official 1.5.1 yet, only nightly snapshots of the subversion repository that will eventually become 1.5.1. Regardless, upgrade is always the same. Follow the normal upgrade.
Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: templatepathYes, you can use bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’) too.
Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: templatepathCodex updated. There is not currently a constant defined for it, but you can get the theme/stylesheet path with get_stylesheet_directory().

In reply to: daylight savings timeRead Kimmo’s restrictions. This plugin only works in certain environments. These restrictions won’t affect your readers, but will affect your ability to use the plugin at all. If it’s working for you, cool. WP, however, cannot ship something with such restrictions. There are very good reasons why you don’t get DST support by default.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: daylight savings timeThe plugin is fine, if you happen to be in an environment where it works. Automatic DST changing will likely never be in the WP core because getting it to work reliably across different servers and locales is a colossal chore. You simply can’t rely on servers having a reliable and comprehensive TZ database, assuming they have one at all. Bundling a TZ database with WP is not an option because full TZ databases are many times the size of WP. Further, they require constant updating because DST rules are subject to the whims of government.

In reply to: daylight savings timeI run most of my blogs in UTC since I don’t care if the time is offset by five or six hours. My readers certainly don’t care. They’re probably in another timezone and couldn’t care less where the sun is at over my head when I post. If they are hitting my RSS feed they get UTC anyway.
In those instances where I do run the blog in my locale time, I simply change the UTC offset of my blog whenever I update the rest of the clocks in the house. That’s what happens when the time changes, your UTC offset changes. If you look at any of the huge ass timezone databases, you’ll see the DST change for a given timezone defined as a change from one offset to another at a given date and time. Here is an example zone description for the US Central time zone. Notice how the transitions are defined.

In reply to: GreymatterHmm, Codex mentions that it is broken yet there are no bug reports in Mosquito. Grrr. The support thread linked to in codex helps. I went about modernizing the importer but need someone’s greymatter data to do some testing. If you are brave, try out this version.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: GreymatterTry the 1.5.1 version. If that doesn’t work, report a bug and include any error messages. A zip archive of your GM files and entries would be really helpful.
The importer doesn’t care about cgi-bin. Just point it to the directories containg your GM files and your GM entries. They can be anywhere.
