In reply to: Problem with the single.php headerCould you set a cookie or session var to the current language and then just have a switch in the header.php that displays the relevant header?
Did you move your rss feed?

In reply to: can’t change my wordpress themeCan you activate the theme using the activate theme under the thumbnail, rather than going through the preview?
It depends on the markup of your site (and a few other things). Is the excerpt being used in a meta description tag on all or only some pages? Have you submitted a sitemap? Did you redirect all your old urls?

In reply to: Masking my WordPress Install DirectoryI think everyone is missing Amy’s point – she’s happy with wordpress core being in /wordpress/, but doesn’t want the login page under a /wordpress/ uri.
Amy – messing around with wordpress core files is messy, as it means you have to make the same changes each time you want to update to a new version of wp. I’d have a look at your .htaccess file. I think you’ll need a rule such as:
RewriteRule ^login.php$ /wordpress/wp-login.php
The first bit is the desired url and the second is the actual url. Not too good with htaccess myself, but you should be able to serve the wordpress login under any folder you want.
Hope that helps

In reply to: <?php wp_list_comments(); ?>Yeah, I thought it looked complicated but the only complex thing is the mixing of php and html – I prefer to output all my html from php without breaking out. Once I got past this mental block, it’s not that bad!

In reply to: Plugin won’t insert data into new tableYou need to wrap your values in speech marks:
$wpdb->query("INSERT INTO wp_reg (ID, slname, sfname, plname, pfname, email, phone, cellphone) VALUES (NULL, '$slname', '$sfname', '$plname', '$pfname', '$email', '$phone', '$cellphone')");

In reply to: <?php wp_list_comments(); ?>I’ve just had to do this myself – on the codex there’s a page about the tag which explains how to provide a callback function which overrides the outputted html.

In reply to: UGH! cannot navigate away from page HELP :(The link to twitter needs to start with https://, or the browser will see it as a folder within the current domain.
And you don’t need to bump up a post after only 45 minutes.

In reply to: How do I keep the side bar in posts?I think what Wee Beastie is getting at is that it’s a bit cheeky asking someone to install a new theme just to help you debug some html + css. Post some code, and maybe someone will be kind enough to help.

In reply to: How do I keep the side bar in posts?If it’s appearing at the bottom, it sounds like the width of your main content area plus the width of your sidebar is too wide for your theme.
It’s hard for a stranger to fix, as there are so many themes for WP. Which one are you using? Have you tried another (or the default theme)?

In reply to: Google accesses post before it has been processed by plugins?If you’re putting the code into the post, you should be using the shortcode api – the benefit of this is that it does all the regex parsing for you to replace [toc] with the plugin output.

It wouldn’t be too difficult – let me know if you need more help.
