In reply to: BUG: jpg vs. jpeg error when editing a LINK URL image in a postHi Ipsentu.
No this is not a plugin issue. Infact, I just tested this on a completely separate install of WordPress with absolutely no plugins, and it does the same thing. Try it for yourself.
It’s a bug.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: is_home() is not working in my sidebar, doesn’t even return false@Swamtyk, thank you for this tip, it worked for me!
I have content that I want to show/hide in the footer and sidebar based on what page I’m on. Unfortunately, WordPress doesn’t allow you to use is_home() multiple times…
So I setup a few global variables in the top of the index.php file, which will act as messengers to show/hide elements in the sidebar.php and footer.php files.
At the top of my index file I have:
<?php global $footer_display; ?>If I had multiple variables to declare, I would separate the variables with commas:
<?php global $footer_display, $sidebar_display; ?>Then, when I query if the page is_home, I set the value to 1:
<?php if (is_home) { ?>
//blah blah
<?php $footer_content = 1 ?>This variable is tested in the footer for a 1 value, and displays content accordingly…. so in essence, I’m able to turn things off and on throughout the site using the if statements I run in the index.
HOWEVER, you must re-instantiate the global variable (not the value, just the variable) at the top of each separate file! So I also put this at the top of my footer file:
<?php global $footer_display; ?>See here:
