PS – the opennewwindow=false parameter doesn’t seem to be working… all my links are still opening in a new window… I’ve posted about it here, and am currently trying to find out how to fix it while I wait for a response.

I did exactly that here:
https://www.therealmonline.org/my-thoughts/

I created a page, and then placed the shortcode from the settings area in it. To get the format I have, I used the following parameters:
[jp-rss-feed opennewwindow=false url=https://www.therealmonline.org/category/my-thoughts/feed/ dateshow=true dateposition=”after” dateformat=”l, F j, Y”]

If you go into Settings->JP’s Get RSS Feed and pick Parameters, there’s an example shortcode under the list of parameters. You can change the settings as needed. That page also gives you a JavaScript option if you want to include your feed in a template.

Keep in mind that I have some custom CSS on my particular feed. You’ll need to play around with that to get the exact look you want.

Found a fix to my date issue here:

Still having issues with the opening in a new window thing… ??

This worked for my date issue here:

Ah… wasn’t sure on the link there, so I didn’t post it (rather than posting a wrong one). Thanks, Hanni. I figured the die hard WP users would want to see… lol

Nevermind… it works now.

He has some very helpful reference cards that I’ve been using to help me learn. Granted, I can code a lot of things in HTML from memory, but I haven’t quote gotten there in CSS, yet. The cards helped a LOT… and I’m a major CSS newbie. There’s still more advanced things out there I’d like to figure out with it, but that will have to come when I have more free time.
(By the way… anyone know what free time is like? ~_^ lol)

You might want to try taking the call to the CSS layout file out of the index file and then you can update through the WP Admin section using the template editor in there. If you feel comfortable enough with CSS, just type in between the <style> tags instead of the call to the wp-layout file. That should eliminate the need for FTP. If you’re not comfortable with CSS, then you can dump the <style> tags and what’s in them all together and go with what your comfortable with. Yes, I know… dumping CSS is a bad thing to discuss here, but, being new to it myself, I understand that it’s hard to learn a new thing when you’ve got a dozen others on your plate to worry about… especially if learning CSS is only to assist in continuing a hobby you don’t get paid for.

Well… since no one seems to want to answer this, I guess I’m going to have to give it a try on my own… Wish me luck… ^^;;

It seems like some sort of access problem. It’s running on a Windows machine (2K Server) and, when I call up Task Manager, it’s listed in the running processes… so I know it’s running. However, the WordPress page won’t come up. I haven’t changed anything in the config file… and it *did* work at one point, so I know it’s not that. Also, now one of the women in the photo room says she can’t upload her photos to the same machine, different database. We tried to get into phpMyAdmin, but that didn’t come up either… and we’re not sure if that’s a permissions issue or if the whole thing is just caput. I’m going to try and get in touch with the DBA today (wish me luck, he’s out on comp) and see if someone can log in as him to make sure phpMyAdmin works.
However, if there’s anything that we can try without using phpMyAdmin, I’d like to know so we at least have something to attempt while we’re waiting for him to call us back.

I’m assuming that it isn’t in reference to one post returns…

This sounds interesting… almost like combining phpBB and WP to make phpNuke, which I think has a journal system on it.
Of course, after working with a friend of mine on https://www.zaku.us and getting frantic IMs at 3 am whenever he changed systems and couldn’t figure it out, I personally would never use one. They seem more trouble than they’re worth.
Not to mention the lack of premade templates for those not familiar with how to make them.

Then that would explain that. Figures. I finally figure things out and get them working to the point where I might actually like doing it again and POW! I hit a wall.
Now… to try and convince people to upgrade or use IE so I don’t have to kill myself making this page work somehow just for them. X.X;;
