Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Connection InformationI am having the same problem, though it is not due to an upgrade of WP, rather it is whenever I try to automatically install a plugin via the WP add plugin panel.
I have tried several plugins and all return the same problem.
FTP works fine, but downloading, unzipping, uploading and activating 8 plugins AND then having to upgrade them is an issue.

In reply to: wp stats 1.4 not working wellI upgraded to v. 1.4 and now when I log in to my blog’s dashboard and then into my blog stats window the window loads a view of my blog’s dashboard! It used to load a graph.
Now to see my stats I have to login to the window and then click the Blog Stats link in the upper left corner of the Dashboard menu.

In reply to: WordPress.com Wrong stats on an External WordPress InstallationI actually have the reverse situation. Google Analytics shows no visits to a site yesterday when WP Stats shows 38 views. I know at least 15 views were there because I had posted a poll and people took the poll.

In reply to: WordPress with Thesis theme – customization tips requiredCouple of things here:
Do try and get help at the DIYForums for Thesis – you paid for access, BUT, the BIG reason is there are a lot of us over there tweeking and geeking and someone there has seen the issue and fixed it. They have GREAT support.Second, when you go to the DIY Forums and ask for help, others are looking for the same help, specific to Thesis, which has a wonderful way to modify it and keep it consistent upgrade after upgrade. So it helps the rest of us learn.
If you post here you might get an answer from someone suggesting you modify a file that you should not – in Thesis there are only two files you should modify custom.css and custom_functions.php. Those two drive the customization of your blog.
Now, to answer some of your questions in Thesis:
I checked out the site you referred to and looked at it with Firebug for Firefox then tested it on one of my sites.
To get the color and radius in the sidebar in Thesis you add the following to the custom.css file:
.custom .sidebar { -moz-border-radius-bottomleft: 12pt; -moz-border-radius-bottomright: 12pt; -moz-border-radius-topleft: 12pt; -moz-border-radius-topright: 12pt; background-color: #F8F8F8; width: 94%; }
One of the confusing things you asked was “how do I get the pages” in your footer. What you want are the links to pages in your footer.
Add this code to your custom_functions.php file
remove_action('thesis_hook_footer', 'thesis_attribution'); function add_custom_footer () { ?> <p>©Copyright 2009 All Rights Reserved <a href="https://YOUR PAGE LINK HERE.com" target="_blank"> THE TITLE OF THE PAGE HERE</a> <?php } add_action('thesis_hook_footer', 'add_custom_footer');
You might also want to look at:
Marko Saric’s great blog with tips on customizing Thesis,
Sugar Rae’s Thesis Hooks for Dummies
And there are tons more in the DIY Forums and the newly launched Thesis Answers Forum available though DIY – lots of good coding there.
Anyway, I have a lot of fun with Thesis. Once I began to learn more it got easier.
Consider getting the Thesis OpenHook plugin to help you with your coding.

In reply to: Noindex tag, categories, archives? SEO help neededI am trying to figure out which is more important, for SEO, tags or categories?
It’s a matter of time and efficiency having to select two set for each post.
Use FeedWordPress Plugin, but don’t expect support. RadGeek think’s it works fine, but, not so much. It breaks some posts up and leaves a bunch of feedburner code in the teasers.

In reply to: WordPress.com Stats Plugin returns 404 ErrorI just got an email from WordPress.com support and they said I had to check with .org.
For reference, my new blog, The Blue Collar Blog, is self hosted and was originally found at https://www.bluecollaru.com/blog/
The software continues to generate stats and I can see behind the scenes from my dashboard if I click on the “Blog Stats” in the dashboard, but when I log into the WordPress.com stats panel and click on one of the daily spots on the graph I get a 404 Page not Found error.
My other blogs do not do this.

In reply to: Does Feedsmith re-direct existing feeds?Thank you, stvwlf. That was my impression as well. If anyone else has differing or confirming information it would great to have it posted here for future readers.

In reply to: Import posts from another blogI could use the help as well.
Also, I think something like this already exists, because when I set up my latest blog it was being fed of WP blogs latest posts and they showed up as posts on my blog AND in the RSS feed.
I want that capability, but I want to choose my own blogs.
And I don’t want to have to do it every time through Export and Import. I am looking for an automated way to do this.

In reply to: how do I stop wordpress blog from feeding my blogThe posts I refer to are evidently fed to my blog somehow from the WordPress blog.
They appeared on my front page and in my feeds that I sent to other sites/blogs.
I have recently deleted them and their links, AGAIN, so they are not showing up as of this exact moment.
