Firas

To implement moshu’s solution:

(a) Make a custom page template

(b) Put a call to <?php get_links_list ?> in it
(c) Make a page using that template (as explained in the above link)

You can use the php-exec or run-php plugins to avoid making the custom template thing. Check their documentation to see how to use them to call get_links_list (I use wp-exec at https://firasd.org/links and say <exec type="function" name="get_links_list" /> on the page.)

I’m also making a plugin which makes the process easier, so you can alternatively just wait a bit.

Theme is just a technical word in the context of WP. Like ‘book’. A book with four words changed from another is a different book. It might be called an edition of the work and share its title, but it’s still different.

Same with themes.

How comfortable you are calling it another theme depends on your own aesthetic sense (and your sense of courtesy and the original author’s sense of propriety); whether you can distribute it as yours depends on the license of the theme you modified.

Just wrap the text in the column with <div style="text-align: center"> in your template.

If you’re comfortable with CSS you can add the text-align rule to the #sidebar selector. (ie. #sidebar { text-align: center })

Thanks a lot, Podz. I second the “WordPress would not be the same without you” sentiment.

Keep getting what?

To post an ampersand type &amp;

Don’t use wp-contactform on posts, jafer. It will do very strange things, especially if someone fills it out from a home page rather than a single post page.

The expectation is that it’s being used on a static page.

Firstly, if you’re really at the end of the line, turn off comments and rename wp-comments* to x-wp-comments*

Have you tried any of the anti-spam plugins? There are ones that do CAPTCHA (‘enter the text shown in this image..’), which although not the best solution, is fine when one’s desperate.

This should not really be much of a problem. What anti-spam steps have you tried?

Don’t re-install WordPress.. just overwrite your index.php with the one packaged with your version.

Huh? Of course you can.

In your PHP:

<div id=”pagelist”>
<?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=<h2>’ . __(‘Pages’) . ‘</h2>’ ); ?>
</div>

In your CSS:

#pagelist {list-style-type: none;}
#pagelist ul, #pagelist li {padding-left: 0; margin-left: 0;}

Actually, sorry, I’ve dropped plans to make this… knee-deep in other code.

I’ll take it. I’ll make one to document how to make WP plugins.

Give me a couple weeks, though.
