In reply to: Post urls.Hey,
I thought I should let you know I resolved the issue. I added a str_replace() in the function sanitize_title_with_dashes() to replace dots with dashes.

In reply to: Post urls.Wow, I was surprised to find out no one was able to say anything about this topic… ??
I’m talking about the substitution of characters like ~!@#$%^&*()= etc to dashes in post titles or tags. You see, I was able to find out that this was done through a couple of functions located in the wp-includes/formatting.php file.
There is wptexturize(); which substitutes these:
array("'tain't","'twere","'twas","'tis","'twill","'til","'bout","'nuff","'round","'cause");and some others.
There’s also sanitize_title_with_dashes() – the one I believe does all the magic substitutions in post titles. Apparently I draw this conclusion from the function name.
But now the problems is I can’t find out which part of the function tells it to remove the dots. In fact I get more confused by this line:
$title = trim($title, '-');which is supposed to trim (remove) dashes out of posts. Yet if you make a post with post title word1-word2 the post url remains word1-word2 and the title isn’t trimmed (nor the url).
I really hope someone could help me out here…

In reply to: I would like to add dynamic meta description tags.Hello Kafkaesqui,
Thank you very much for referring me to your plugin. I studied it and found out how to call for stuff from outside the loop. I have now added dynamic meta description tags to my blog and I’m really happy. ??
Thanks again!

In reply to: Internet Explorer Incompatibility.PS. I think I found out where the problem is. The titles of some posts are too long and in firefox the part that exceeds the main content area goes ‘behind’ or ‘under’ the sidebar without causing it to shift after the content. While in IE6 it tries to brake the name after the 55th character and show the rest on the next line. Though the 55th character is far into the sidebar and since IE can’t produce that effect FF does it causes the sidebar to load after the posts.
So now I’m wondering which template file I should change? I’m not sure if this is a template thing or wordpress thing. If it’s a wp thing where can I limit the ’55th character brake position’ and will that not affect how the posts appear in FF? It doesn’t seem to brake long post names now, so maybe it won’t? What do you think?

In reply to: Internet Explorer Incompatibility.Hi,
I’m really sorry for not getting back to the topic for 2 weeks. I was really busy.
So I think I should redirect you to the website so you can make an accurate suggestion as you see the behavior of the website or sidebar. Here it is:
Also where can I make those calculations you mentioned about the width of different components, do I have to look through the styles.css file?
Regards and thanks very much for the help!

In reply to: Google Analytics plugin by Joost de ValkActually I found this post here describing why one may not be seeing the code:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/135851
And it seems to be working ok now. The only possible problem I can think of is that the code is not inserted into the <head> tag. Can this slow down page load time for the user browsing the site?

In reply to: Google Sitemap plugin.Hmm, I played around with the plugins, deactivating the one I added recently, and found out it was Simpler WordPress that was causing this. It’s jide’s plugin – https://www.jide.fr/english/downloads/plugin-simpler-wordpress/
I thought I should post this for those that might be wondering which plugin is causing the sitemaps plugin not to work.

In reply to: Simple Tagging, how to work with it?Doesn’t anyone use this plugin ? ??
PS. Another problem is showing relative posts: it doesn’t show any relative posts, it just lists the last 5 (five) posts posted in the blog. How is it supposed to work?
