Hi Stephan;

You’re right, the install looks correct. The only thing I can think to try is to delete and reupload the plugin – sometimes if a file doesn’t make it to the server properly it can cause problems. I’ll try to install it on my own server tonight.

I can’t see the 2nd post you posted, so I can’t take a look at that, though.

My guess is that somehow the empty divs in post #27 was causing trouble, even though they appeared to be closed properly.

You could try adding that content back in and making sure that there aren’t any empty elements and see what it looks like….

1. also make sure the themes are in a folder at all

2. Here’s a starting point of sidebar.php that will offer some of what you want. Save the following code as sidebar.php in the theme folder for whatever theme you’re going to use.

<div id="sidebar">
<ul>

<li><h2>Feeds</h2>
<ul><li><img src=%put_a_link_to_a_feed_image_here% /><A href="feed:https://www.murallah.com/blog/feed/">Rss Feed for Posts</a></li></ul>
</li>

<li><h2>Contact</h2
<ul><li>Put a link to a contact method here. Add more "li" entries for each contact method</li></ul>
</li>

<?php wp_list_pages('title_li=<h2>Pages</h2>' ); ?>

<li><h2>Categories</h2>
<ul>
<?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1&hierarchical=0'); ?>
</ul>
</li>

<?php get_links_list(); ?>

<?php get_calendar(); ?>

</ul>
</div>

If this doesn’t come across you can get it here.

Hi;

You might have better luck posting this on their forums.

This sounds like a WordPress.com problem, right?

If so you’ll probably want to post this at the WordPress.com forums.

Hi;
It seems like somehow your entrytext <div> for the post “Check our Spring Break Pictures” (post id 27) has wrapped the sidebar content within itself. Probably some improperly nested html tags somewhere in there. By way of confirmation, take a look at the footer in the single-post view of that post [https://24.123.127.180/?p=27] and compare it to the same view for the previous and next posts.

Even though it looks as though everything should be closed properly, you have a bunch of empty divs in that post – maybe one of those is screwing with your layout.

If you want it on all post webpages you actually want to include it on single.php.

I think you’ll need to add it to single.php; as I recall it’s not in the single-post template in Kubrick.

Hey linkman;

If you’re up for a little php, you could take a look at get_currentuserinfo in the Codex. I believe (never having done it myself) that you could check for a non-null userID using this function to determine whether the current user is logged in.

I don’t believe there’s an out of the box solution for this….

No problem.

You could try a smaller file in your uploads directory, or even upload it via ftp, just as a test.

Let us know how it goes….

Well, as far as I can tell, the reason iTunes can’t read your rss feed is because there are no <enclosure> tags in your feed. Without those, nothing is going to know anything about your podcast – in essence it’s not really a podcast without those tags.

Now WordPress is supposed to gather the info about your mp3s and put it into your rss feed automagically. I notice when I click on your link I am forwarded to some kind of login page. I can get the mp3, but it’s possible WordPress isn’t able to access it for some reason. For example, I’ve seen server-side php scripts not be able to retrieve rss feeds from some servers because the script doesn’t look like a user agent (a browser or aggregator) to the server that’s providing the file.

Perhaps you could try linking to an mp3 that’s hosted in a wide-open and accessible location (like in your WP uploads directory) as a test. If that works then I’d say you’d have a pretty good hint that your academy.beautifuloceans.com server is getting in the way somehow.

Take a look at list_cats and wp_list_cats in the Codex for some pointers here – I believe both are WP2.0 compatible.

I think the operable sort_column for you would be “name”

I suspect that Technorati keeps a static copy of your post and doesn’t go back for updates. It would seem to me that if you changed the guid published in your rss feed you’d get a new post in Technorati, but I don’t know for sure.

It used to be that if you published a blog post asking for help and mentioning Dave Sifry or Niall Kennedy, they would show up and comment, perhaps with helpful information (an example here.) Obvious that mechanism wasn’t designed to scale and they may not be able to keep up with that anymore, but it might be worth a shot.
