It’s a setting in your admin in 2.8x to select the follow/nofollow option for all or just not search engines. (Privacy).

WordPress used to use rel=”nofollow” for comment links, not sure if it still does, but there are many comment spam plugins you can use, too.

Here’s a site with a LOT Of useful information that may have something you can use.

use google or the docs on this site or search this forum for reverse order of posts. It’s in reverse chronological order (DESC), but basically, you’d want to use a query to call posts for the category id number (and in the example below) to return a set number of posts and order them as desired… this goes just above your loop. Note that you’d need to make a special category file to use when you click that link unless you feel comfortable using conditional logic to say something like “if_category(#) then query_posts blah, blah else do something else… which is far too complex to get into unless you actually understand the methods used. And anyway, you should search for existing threads about it…

Otherwise, a simple query should return the right posts and use the custom template if you name that template category-#.php (to match whatever ID is used for Constitution.

query_posts('cat=#,'showposts=#,'order'=>ASC);

Have you used WordPress much? Did you write the content in each post and format it? the <!–more–> reference isn’t “code” like what you are seeing in the template… it’s something you will see somewhere IN THE TEXT of your actual posts when viewing them from the admin Posts>Editing in the content field.

you can email me directly using my username AT gmail DOT com (do the obvious)… if you want to learn about conditional code or queries, read:

Try changing it in the index.php page.

What happens when you click your main level Constitution link?

btw, a category page can be created by duplicating your index.php file and saving it as category.php

Then, you can keep your index.php page the way it is (excerpt) and WordPress will automatically attempt to use a category.php file if there IS one. If you make a CUSTOM category.php file, you name it using the id number of the category, as in category-27.php… then WordPress will use THAT category template if your navigation link is for that category…

WordPress goes through a list of files, trying to use the appropriate one — if you click a category link, it looks for a custom category template; if there isn’t one, it looks for category.php; if that doesn’t exist, it will use index.php

If your link is for a Page, it will first look for page.php to display the content; if that doesn’t exist, it reverts to index.php, but in no case will it try to use a category template.

Understand?

Look through all the files IN YOUR THEME FOLDER (even if that is a copy of default)

index.php
page.php
archive.php
category.php

Do ANY of these use the_excerpt(); anywhere in the loop?

If not, then YOU HAVE USED the <!--more--> tag IN THE CONTENT of the articles. Try removing that from one test article in your Constitution category and see if that makes the main page display all of that article’s content.

IT’s not copying…

You cannot just move the WordPress folder… all the URLs used in your site reference the location of things relative to the root of the WordPress installation location. So, if you’ve installed in / and then move everything to /myblog/

Things break.

If you export out the data tables (I use phpMyAdmin to do this and export an .sql file) and backup your theme folder and plugin folder, you can remove the current install and reinstall to wherever you want (let’s say you are going from / to /myblog/ and your domain is example.com)

But you’ll have to open the exported .sql file and find and replace all instances of http://example.com/ with http://example.com/myblog/ to make everything work properly.

Using phpMyAdmin, you’ll drop all the tables of the new wp install and import the modified .sql file

Then add your theme & plugins folder to your remote server using FTP, placing the theme folder inside the /myblog/wp-content/themes/ and the plugins folder inside /wp-content/

All the posts and pages and plugins from your old site will be in the new one.

That’s how I move a WordPress site. There are ways to do it otherwise, but this works best for me because I can adjust all references to the incorrect URL from the Find and Replace dialog. BTW, I use code view of DW CS3 to modify my .sql file, having added that extension (.sql) to DW’s Edit Preferences > File Types list.

But none of that deals with a plugin that is breaking things… if you do all of the above, be sure not to upload that problematic plugin to the new install.

You need to have that email address set up on your server — whatever it is. Let’s say your domain is called yourbes4.com

You would go to the control panel of your hosting company account and set up a mail account for [email protected]

Then, assuming all is well with your WordPress application and you’ve entered THAT email address in the settings for the e-commerce plugin (I’ve never used it but there should be some setting or option to provide an email address for any tasks requiring notification of store owner)… the plugin uses your EMAIL application to send you email.

You would set up your local computer’s email application to get all mail for that account, just as you would if you wanted to get your gmail email locally on your computer without having to use a web interface to do it.

It may be that the ecommerce plugin has a mail interface, I don’t know. Any technical support for plugins (particularly paid-for plugins) is generally asked and answered at the site FOR THAT PLUGIN.

What is the exact plugin? (no generalizations… where did you download the plugin from?) Do you have a real email account set up for the one you are attempting to use? No matter what you put into WordPress’s general settings for admin email, if that account doesn’t exist for your domain, then it won’t work.

HTH

@zgani — folders don’t use extensions… I think you are suggesting renaming the php files where the initial poster is saying they renamed a folder containing the plugin.

Don’t rename the folder — use FTP and delete that folder on the remote server (you have a copy locally anyway). Renaming the folder only changes what is listed — the file(s) is/are still load (assuming they still use .php or recognized file types) and if the code in the file is the problem, it still is a problem.

If you delete the plugin folder (or file if just a single file) from the remote folder, it shouldn’t list at all in your plugins, nor will anything be executed.

You can always upload it again. Any settings options you may have set remain in your database.
