Hi Ben,

I tried emailing you after your contacted me through my blog but my Gmail emails are being bounced.

The exact code will depend on your particular situation but the basic idea is to use multiple WordPress loops for the different areas of the page you’re displaying content in and PHP “switch” code to alternate in the different columns.

Under your blog’s options, what do you have listed for the WordPress address and the blog address?

Isn’t it due to this code in your header:

<EMBED SRC=”https://www.rock.com/alternative90s.rpm&#8221; WIDTH=496 HEIGHT=50 NOJAVA=true CONTROLS=all CONSOLE=one AUTOSTART=true><br>

Ahh – I read the top question (which would work perfectly with my tutorial) but didn’t notice the extra detail mentioning the alternating.

Off the top of my head, couldn’t you just pull out the 2 most recent posts from each category, storing them in variables, then displaying them in the correct order afterwards?

Hi astereo,

If my tutorial didn’t help, feel free to leave a comment there and I’ll see if I can put my tutorial into your context.

Cheers

Have a look at your blog’s theme (Presentation > Theme Editor > Single Post) and then add:

<?php the_author() ?>

to your theme where you want it to appear.

Hi.. me again.

Here’s a tutorial on how I set up different columns of blog posts.

If anyone needs any help with programming this in WP, let me know. It’s not too hard to code up ??

I wrote my own custom code, I’ll be working it into a proper plugin soon but there’s some more features I want to add first ??

Working on this code…

1. UPDATE wp_comments set comment_approved = 1

2. CREATE TABLE mytemp SELECT count(*) as numberofcomments, comment_post_ID as post FROM wp_comments group by comment_post_ID order by comment_post_ID

3. UPDATE wp_posts,mytemp SET wp_posts.comment_count = mytemp.numberofcomments WHERE wp_posts.ID=mytemp.post;

but there’s a bug in the MySQL for #3… any help appreciated ??

mfflynn, that would be awesome. Please let us know if you get some code we can use.

What theme are you using?

Log into your WordPress account, click on Presentation > Theme Editor > Sidebar Template and then add the code there.

Sounds like a problem with your permalinks?

Hi geoff, it won’t have anything to do with go-daddy. If you’re still stuck, feel free to send me a message via MSN Messenger or email, [email protected]

Sounds like you may have some permissions problems on your template so you couldn’t edit the files. Also, check your comment options.
