In reply to: Blog seems to have vanished! Empty page!please tell us what the permissions settings ARE now that it is all working. I, too, have the same backup directory not writable message and today, suddenly, my v.2.1.1 install started showing a blank page for any of the public pages, though the admin pages work just fine. Oddly, when I look at the presentation admin page, it doesn’t show any themes, though the working theme with all files are actually there (and were working just fine up until 9:30am today)… I can ftp and I can see the files.
What SHOULD the wp-content folder permissions be?

In reply to: Display Random Posts from Specific Categoriesoh, my god, finally the solution to what I’ve wanted to get done… pick a category and show a limited number of posts (most recent or random) from it in the format of my choice!
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: List post titles in a certain categoryIs there any way to use the code samples (to list a specific category’s titles or titles and content) above but have it generate only 1 or 2 posts randomly?
I’ve tried using the custom query plugin but it doesn’t seem to actually limit to a specific category, despite what the plugin author says.
I basically would like to show 2 or 3 posts (title and content) from a specific category on my homepage.
I’ve also looked at various randomizing plugins, but they don’t allow me to choose the specific category.
help greatly appreciated!

In reply to: to make a list of child pages?nevermind, I found it:
<?php if(wp_list_pages(“child_of=”.$post->ID.”&echo=0″)) { ?>
-
<?php wp_list_pages(“title_li=&child_of=”.$post->ID.”&sort_column=menu_order&show_date=modified&date_format=$date_format”);?>
<?php } ?>

In reply to: “Are you sure you want to edit this post: ..?”Did you just upgrade to v2.1.1?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Will not post after auto saveI’ve figured out that when using Save and Continue Editing or Save after adding a custom field, clicking NO to the “Are you sure…” page actually DOES add the field and keeps things from messing up… but I’d like to be able to figure out why this is happening and WHY the solution is so COUNTER-INTUITIVE.
Or, how can I find that bit and change the buttons (no and yes) to reversed so at least I am clicking YES when I mean yes.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: “Are you sure…?” message when publishingyeah, everyone wants to blame it on plugin incompatibilities, etc… but I am not buying it. I’ve disabled all plugins and still can’t get this to go away when using Save and Continue Editing after adding custom fields. I have figured out that if I use the “no” link that it won’t corrupt the database with weird entries…
but that is not a real solution. it would be nice to see some sort of official response to the problem.

In reply to: Turning off the auto save1) this was an official fantastico install (clean) where previous installs didn’t do it
2) only updated the theme files and plugins, and db, of course… simple plugins, too… all of which worked with v2. I’ve tried disabling all plugins and it fixes nothing…here’s my list of plugins:
witty.txt (I’ve tried deactivating these and it doesn’t fix anything)
Get Custom Field Values (which is working)
Dagon Design Form Mailer ( just did this one – issue was happening BEFORE activating this)and other folks are having the same problems, so I believe this IS a bug with the new version, relating to custom fields
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Turning off the auto saveanother note: if you use Save and continue editing after adding a custom field, it WILL NOT save changes made to the right column’s options (like comment options, etc)… You have to use the save button to get those to stick.
Frankly, I am confounded by this new functionality “are you sure”… what purpose does it server except to add extra steps to the workflow? You have to click Save and continue editing after each custom field add… (which is also stupid, imo) so now it takes 3-4 clicks to do one custom field.
moronic.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Turning off the auto saveWell, I realize now that the problem isn’t auto save. It’s the stupid Are you sure you want to edit this page: “”? screen that you get when you add a custom field, then click save and continue editing or even save.
CLICK NO. (I know, it’s counter-intuitive, but that’s the issue)
I suspect it has something to do with the fact that the page isn’t listed in the quotes
Are you sure you want to edit this page: “”?
it doesn’t KNOW WHICH PAGE.
Click NO. That simply avoids the whole issue, though I am going to go in and edit page.php (admin) to figure it out as soon as I have time. Something’s screwy in there.

In reply to: Turning off the auto saveThere is serious stuff going on in v2.1.1
Posts are being marked private.
Custom fields can’t remember what post they belong to (they show up for Write>Post – new post)
Sometimes the default category is marked under Category, sometimes not. When not, private gets set.PLEASE someone at WP fix these things!
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Turning off the auto saveOK. maybe there’s a workaround and maybe this is a bug? If you click NO on the “are you sure” screen, it edits the post anyway (NICE, folks… what was whomever created that smoking?) Can you say “good interface design – NOT!”
So, I am able to click Save and continue editing, then No for the “are you sure” screen and get the edits done… now, just how to explain to the client why the method is so ***k** up in the first place…

In reply to: Turning off the auto savewell, crapola. that didn’t fix the issue. It appears that duplication is being caused by adding custom fields, not autosaving? Every time I add a custom field, it asks “Are you sure you want to edit this post?” (no, yes) and on clicking yes, it adds a duplicate post.
this just sucks.

In reply to: Turning off the auto saveI just opened that autosave.js.php file and changed the delay value (1000) to 3000 and it appeared to fix things.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Turning off the auto saveit appears that there is a bug (#3379) related to autosave, clicks in the edit page, though that was posted 3 months ago and v2.1.1 is newer than that.
Does anyone know how to incorporate the changes from a “diff” file (should change wp-includes/js/autosave.js.php) so I can fix this? It basically makes categories not usable.
