Keep your own code isolated to your own theme folder and/or plugin folder. Never change files outside those. The reason is that when you update WordPress those files will get overwritten by newer version and thus delete your changes. Second, using the event-attributes (onmouseover, onmouseout) on HTML elements is not recommended in general. You better create a hook from inside your external script itself. Easiest way to do this is using jQuery with something like: $(“a.myelement”). mouseover(function() { MM_swapImage(etc.); }); HOWEVER, if I guess correctly those MM_functions are from MacroMedia (from the older Dreamweaver of Flash products?) and their function is simply to change the background of the link that you hover over, right? Which is far better done using CSS: a:hover { image: url(contact. gif); } * Forum: [Hacks](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/hacks/) In reply to: [Custom infinite scroll and archives/search](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-infinite-scroll-and-archivessearch/) * Thread Starter [Adam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/umbercode/) * (@umbercode) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-infinite-scroll-and-archivessearch/#post-3164334) * I came to the conclusion I oversimplified my idea so I am completely rewriting this code from a different angle.

So if you use a local install of wordpress you can mess about as much you want without having to fear of messing up anything. then when you are done, just install that theme on your existing site and activate it. if something is wrong at that point, you can always safely revert back to the old theme without any problems. Provided ofcourse you keep all your coding within the theme directory. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [404 error when trying to login](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-error-when-trying-to-login/) * [Adam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/umbercode/) * (@umbercode) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-error-when-trying-to-login/#post-3164449) * In the admin area go to settings and then permalinks.

The way I understand it is as follows: You have a post and when showing that post you want to include video’s on the same page that relate to that post. Is that correct? * Forum: [Localhost Installs](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/localhost-installs/) In reply to: [quite lost in installation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quite-lost-in-installation/) * [Adam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/umbercode/) * (@umbercode) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/quite-lost-in-installation/#post-3157596) * it is an URL. Simply open your webbrowser and goto [http://localhost](http://localhost) If this does not show anything this means that MAMP installed on another port which you can probably reach using [http://localhost:8888](http://localhost:8888)( this is also an URL) * Forum: [Hacks](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/hacks/) In reply to: [I have a doozy…..](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-have-a-doozy/) * [Adam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/umbercode/) * (@umbercode) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-have-a-doozy/#post-3148145) * oh, sorry I missed the part about this code being in single.php. That clears up something. I don’t think there is a “current page” on a single page (the name says it all) because a single page is just that, single (please correct me if I am wrong). So in order to create a WP_Query on that page showing multiple( I am assuming related to the current page) video’s in pages (it is probably better to speak of “sets” in this case) you probably need to “manually” keep track of the current “set”. Or use the ‘offset’ key [http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Offset_Parameter](http://codex.wordpress.org/Class_Reference/WP_Query#Offset_Parameter) * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Redirect Loop and Cannot Login after removing "www" from site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/redirect-loop-and-cannot-login-after-removing-www-from-site/) * [Adam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/umbercode/) * (@umbercode) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/redirect-loop-and-cannot-login-after-removing-www-from-site/#post-3163724) * Try removing your .htaccess file via FTP and see if that allows you to login again. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [creating two versions of the same site, only one live at a time](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/creating-two-versions-of-the-same-site-only-one-live-at-a-time/) * [Adam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/umbercode/) * (@umbercode) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/creating-two-versions-of-the-same-site-only-one-live-at-a-time/#post-3164535) * It is more common to develop a website locally on your computer using something like XAMP or WAMP or LAMP (google it). However, you could do it remotely I guess. But even then would it not be better to simple create a theme and copy that to your existing site and then simply change the theme instead of redirecting your site to a new location? I am guessing you want the second site to connect to the same database? That is (for the most part) not possible since the database holds, among other things) the URL to you site, so it cannot point to two different sites unless you do a multi-site install which is way too complex for your needs. So basically I would either install wordpress locally or remotely with a fresh database, import pages and posts from the old site if you want to (not needed) and then just create a new theme which you can then upload to your live site, without anyone being the wiser. * Forum: [Hacks](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/hacks/) In reply to: [I have a doozy…..](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-have-a-doozy/) * [Adam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/umbercode/) * (@umbercode) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/i-have-a-doozy/#post-3148143) * Hmm, I am not sure what the context is in which you try to do this, but if I remember correctly you can display the current page of a pages set like so: * ``` $query = new WP_Query( array( 'paged' => get_query_var('paged'), 'post_type' => 'video', 'order_by' => 'date', 'order' => 'DESC', 'cat' => $cat_ID, 'posts_per_page' => 18 ) ``` * No need to use a custom function to get the current pagenumber. Also, where does $cat_ID come from? I am however suspecting that your problem resides elsewhere in your code. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Formatting nested tables in HTML](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/formatting-nested-tables-in-html/) * [Adam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/umbercode/) * (@umbercode) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/formatting-nested-tables-in-html/#post-3164432) * First of all, I am startled to see there are still table-based layouts being used. But who am I to lecture. I am not sure what part of the spacing want to change? Is it the spacing between things like “Your name” and the input box? If so you need the following CSS: #frmQuote p { margin: 0; } Edit: I agree with WPyogi * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [404 error when trying to login](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-error-when-trying-to-login/) * [Adam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/umbercode/) * (@umbercode) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-error-when-trying-to-login/#post-3164428) * Try removing your htaccess file. (you will have to reset your rewrites after that under options).

Find the entries for ‘siteurl’ and ‘home’ and change them back to .dev * 2) Open your wp-config file and add the following two lines: define(‘WP_SITEURL’,‘ [http://xxxxx.dev/’](http://xxxxx.dev/’);); define(‘WP_HOME’, ‘[http://xxxxxx.dev/’](http://xxxxxx.dev/’);); * Either one should work, but if one does not try the other. * Forum: [Hacks](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/hacks/) In reply to: [how to display post content for special Role?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-display-post-content-for-special-role/) * [Adam](https://wordpress.org/support/users/umbercode/) * (@umbercode) * [13 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-display-post-content-for-special-role/#post-3164323) * Assuming that you added roles using [add_role](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_role) you can then assign capabilities to these roles using [add_cap](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/add_cap) Next it is just a simple conditional to test for these capabilities in your loop using [current_user_can](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/current_user_can) Viewing 15 replies - 31 through 45 (of 63 total) [←](https://wordpress.org/support/users/umbercode/replies/page/2/?output_format=md) [1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/umbercode/replies/?output_format=md) [2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/umbercode/replies/page/2/?output_format=md) 3 [4](https://wordpress.org/support/users/umbercode/replies/page/4/?output_format=md) [5](https://wordpress.org/support/users/umbercode/replies/page/5/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/users/umbercode/replies/page/4/?output_format=md)
