So just because, when you are already logged in, you can go back to the admin area without loggging in again, that doesn’t mean the rest of the world is logged in too. OTOH, if you share your computer with others you might want to always log out before you leave the machine.

Yes. see https://wiki.www.ads-software.com/WordPressLocalization

elaborate

You could password protect the directory that WP lives in. (through cpanel or the like, or create .htaccess and .htpasswd files by hand)

sorry, never heard of errors.txt – is it generated by apache or something? where does it live?

Hmm… I don’t use pop-up comments in any of my WP installations. Perhaps someone else can confirm whether the “Comments (#)” link should, or should not, appear at the bottom of single-post pages (index.php?p=##) when pop-up comments are used?

You can control the date format thru the WP backend, somewhere in options.

Dunno about the comments thing, unless you changed the bit in index.php that calls them up.
Another thing is, the permalink at the top of each post (on your main, 3-column page) takes me to a page with the post but the left and right columns are missing – is that what you wanted?

check out thefreefood’s method, it worked for me

try sticking the Javascript inside the menu div?

I use a single installation of WP and each of the files mentioned only exist in the one directory where all the WP stuff resides.
A simple way to link between cats might be to leave out the “wp_list_cats” tag from your menu, and instead define a link category called “Categories” and add a link (absolute URL) for each category. That way you could manage your cat links from within the WP backend. Of course it wouldn’t automatically create/delete/rename the link whenever you create/delete/rename a category. As I said, simple but horrible ??
I should add that the purpose of my hack is completely different from what you are trying to do: to create a public area and a members area within the same blog (members index.php lives in password-protected directory).

Excuse my presumption, but just in case you mean Meyer or Raymond, I’d be very flattered indeed, but definitely not guilty. I am not this guy either.
But you can call me The Eric, of course!
If and when I have my own blog instead of just doing them for other people, I’ll post a link.

Root, you are speaking in riddles. Excuse my presumption, but just in case you mean Meyer or Raymond, I’m very flattered indeed, but definitely not guilty. I am not this guy either.

Wah this is weird… I guess if I could understand why this works, without .htaccess, I’d finally understand how WP permalinks work. Is all the /cat/year/month/day/post-number/ stuff passed to the template as a query string or something?
