I have ended up using https://plugins.trac.www.ads-software.com/browser/last-modified/trunk/

mwahl217 – if only it could be as easy for the rest of us ??

search for reverse order comment plugins? also, might want to include wp version and theme.. some themes are built show newest first, oldest last, and others are built in reverse

siriusforex – There are related articles plugins… I would think you could set your keywords to match and cross reference?

Silentwind, that might have worked for you, but it did not work for me. wish it had been that easy… I tried that more than a few times.

Thanks.. unfortunately it was going back to 2.5 and not using 2.6 deleting the .htaccess didnt work, adding something to categories and tags didnt work, using index.php or removing it either one did not work. Only solution was to go back ??

in the end i had to download to 2.5 and go back to using /index.php/%postname%/ with apache and linux.. wont work without /index.php/ strange.

and now posts show up but not pages…

i downloaded https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/164360/page/3?replies=105 rewrite.php and now pages work.. but i still have to ise index.php/

Im using Linux.. with apache.
Strangely enough – 2 diff installs, one works fine, the other doesnt work. this is with default everything and no plugins enabled.

deleting .htaccess doesnt work

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/187700?replies=25

has detailed info about what i have and tried.. everyting.
no luck

Funny thing is, I am on apache on a *nix box… and 2.5 I had to use index.php/%postname%/ or it would not work.. now i can’t use it or anything to get permalinks to work. Only the default works. Even using the default theme, no plugins.

Same box, different site – default and with a theme, no plugins it works fine. /%category%/%postname%/

I even copied the .htaccess over – rules, permissions, owner, everything exact same. I cant figure it out

my .htaccess
‘
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress
‘

AA Rewrite Rules reports
> Permalink: /%category%/%postname%/
> Writable .htaccess file found
> mod_rewrite found
> Not using pathinfo style index permalinks
> Using mod_rewrite permalinks

This is what I use for the keywords – I got it from another post and modified it so it works on home page too.

The statements also make it so it does does not make xhtml errors if there are no keywords.

<?php global $post;
if( is_single() || is_page() || is_home() ) :
	$tags = get_the_tags($post->ID);
	if($tags) :
		foreach($tags as $tag) :
			$sep = (empty($keywords)) ? '' : ', ';
			$keywords .= $sep . $tag->name;
		endforeach;
?>
<meta name="keywords" content="<?php echo $keywords; ?>" />
<?php
	endif;
endif;
?>

I am still trying to make the description be the content of the article (like first 100 words, etc)

Wow, this is what I have been trying to do for the last 30 minutes with no success. I did not want to use a plugin, but do it ‘natural’ instead. I was missing an extra ‘ !! Thanks so much! (ps im using 2.5.1 and it works fine)

Though, I did add one thing –
is_single() || is_page() || is_home()

so it would also use tags on the home page.

@bernard1980 -= there used to be a plugin where you could add tags to a page… might try that and the could could read them and use them as keywords then? I personally think it would be a good thing to use keywords on pages and I am not sure why it is not a function built in.. but oh well thats just me.

On mine – ericastjohn.com

The sidebar which contain the categories are listed at the bottom of the page. When I hover the mouse over the category name, it shows what I used as the category description

The code in mine for this is

<?php wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1&hierarchical=0'); ?>

Would that be what you mean?

I still haven’t been able to find anything about this.. so I guess I will just work on making a static menu to add

Here would be one way… It might do comments also. Or, you could search for plugins that do it for comments.
