Well yes, but even a single user may want multiple blogs because different sections of my site can have totally different layouts. Can I have different layouts based on categories?

Can I have category-specific custom fields?

So,

Category 1: Will have custom fields “Artists Ranking”, “Artists Label”
Category 2: Will have custom fields “Publisher”, “ISBN”

..and so on?

I have a similar question. I would like to order my posts NOT based on dates or names, but based on my own numbering.

I thought of adding a custom field called “Ranking”, but can I do this at a category level instead of post level?

So I need to customize as follows:

1. Add a custom field to the description of the categories called ranking, and be able to rank categories as 1, 2, 3.

2. Add a custom field to the fields in each category, so that I can rank posts in each category as 1,2,3.

Would appreciate some thoughts.

Is there a clean, elegant way of doing this? I’d rather not try and do this by forcing dates in a certain order.

Actually, I’ll just a link I found to WP-Cache just in case someone is looking for static pages in the future:

https://mnm.uib.es/gallir/posts/2005/02/02/111/

Some keywords: static, staticize, caching, cache.

Thanks for the info. Can you please point me to the staticizing plugins I could consider?

MT is a very limiting piece of software for what I want to achieve (the way categories and all their entries are listed, etc, let’s not go into it) and WP looks perfect for my needs. I have the blog set up just how I want it, but now I’d like to “staticize” it if possible as I’m running out of DB connections as it is.

Shucks, that’s sad. I almost converted to WP. The “features list” on that labyrinthine wiki site mentioned that 1.5 has static pages (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changelog/1.5). Perhaps someone should update it so people like me don’t waste any time groping for info. Thanks for your answer.

Well, I have searched for “static pages” and cannot find where I should set a blog to generate TRULY static pages, including any comments that are written to them?

I would like my site to be rebuilt just like MT, because I don’t want any database connections dedicated to this site, however fast the dynamic PHP is these days.

Thanks for any guidance or pointers, I tried searching but most posts in this forum write “static” in the subject but go ahead to ask an unrelated question. Thanks.

So, just to clarify this, I will have to have different directories for each blog? E.g., my current blog is in https://MYDOMAIN.com/MYWP. To have a new config file, should I make a totally new folder MYWP2, and upload all files in there, and so on?

Is it not possible to have the *same* interface to manage all the blogs and have all my users across all of them?

Thanks for any thoughts.
