In reply to: How do i add a logo to my site?Okay, you probably just need to change “imgsrc” to “img src” in that code, then. (has to be a space there: ‘img’ is the html element, ‘src’ is an attribute — have to keep them separate.)
Try it out.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How do i add a logo to my site?No, that will put the image in wp-content/uploads.
Images for themes should be kept in the theme/YOUR-THEME/images directory.
If your web host provides you with “CPanel” you should be able to use the “File Manager” to upload your logo.jpg into a specific directory.
Otherwise, you’ll need an FTP program to do it.Does your web host use CPanel?
Hi Chris,
Yes, I recommend:
a. Backup your wordpress database just in case.
b. Use MySQL search and replace to change the URL of your downloads.
Good luck,

In reply to: How do i add a logo to my site?Hi there,
When I try to visit:
https://dszmedley.com/wp-content/themes/twentyten/images/logo.jpg
it seems the image is not in that location.
You need to FTP your “logo.jpg” file to the /twentyten/images/ directory.

In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionHi Mike,
1. Assuming your version was previously working, and now is giving you this message?
2. First things to check:
a. Is the database really up? (can you check it using your host’s phpMyadmin or something?)
b. Did the database user / password / dbname change?
c. Did your wp-config.php file change (which as db user, pwd, dbname etc.)

In reply to: [Content Scheduler] Custom Post TypesHi Kevin,
It does for me, but someone mentioned it wasn’t for them.
I am finishing version 0.9.7 with a few more hooks in for custom post types — should work no problem.
0.9.7 should be available in a few days… send me good vibes so I can make good on that! ??
Thanks,

In reply to: [Content Scheduler] expire content when post is called in category pageHi Z,
Content Scheduler uses the built-in wp-cron, which is potentially triggered each time your site is visited. So, a visit to a Category page should expire the post normally.However, I’ll bet I’m misunderstanding your question. Do you want a Post to remain active UNTIL someone visits it?
Sorry if I’m not getting it — let me know if you need more help.
Take care.Hey Meduncho,
Thanks for the kudos!
The functionality you’re asking for will be in the Pro version of the plugin. Using the Pro version, you’ll be able to choose a “Content Scheduler Profile” from the Posts page.
A profile consists of all the different settings you can now set on the “Content Scheduler Settings” page in the free version.
You can (theoretically) define unlimited profiles.
The Pro version should be available in late July 2011.
Take care,
Paul0.9.7 is sitting here on my netbook — I have to test just a few more things before releasing. I sincerely apologize to those of you who’ve been waiting for 0.9.7 features — I’m in the middle of quitting my job, though, so I can work on WP Development full time — maybe that will help!
Moxie, in the standard version in 0.9.7 you can set ONE default time, which would do something like “Add 6 months to the publish date, and that will be the expiration date.” However, the ability to have multiple such defaults will be in the Pro version only.
(Pro version basically takes all the stuff you see in Content Scheduler options screen and packs it into a “Profile.” You can have as many profiles as you want. When you tell a post / page / custom content to expire, you tell it to follow whatever settings are in a specific profile. So, each profile could have its own default expiration, to meet your needs.)
Thanks all,

In reply to: [Content Scheduler] Question about the categories and uninstallHi Moxie,
Wow, I’m sorry I didn’t see this post until now.
1. The idea is that it will remove all CS data, if you deactivate the plugin and then use “Delete” from the plugins page.
NOTE: There’s a big difference between “Deactivating” the plugin and “Deleting” it. You can deactivate / reactivate all you want and it will not delete any settings.Also, it is intended that it will remove the custom metadata for your posts — the Content Scheduler info — if you choose this “Remove” option and choose “Delete” from plugin screen. (It turns out, right now even as of version 0.9.7, it does not remove that data. I’m not going to make it actually remove post data until I put in a button to “export” and “Import” the data, so you could easily and effectively create a backup.)
2. I just addressed your issue with the categories in another forum post.
But, I didn’t realize you had thousands… so for the interface, I will see about, at the very least, not showing a list of categories unless you actually intend to use that list.
(You don’t need the list of categories on the options page at all unless you intend to make changes to a post’s category list upon expiration.)
PaulFirst, your post points to a definite need for improvement in the way categories are listed on the options screen. If you have a lot of categories — it’s just a crazy mess to list them all right there at once. A solution is on the list.
Most importantly, though, I think you might misunderstand the purpose of the categories on the options page. If you just want to change content from published to draft, you don’t need to mess with the Category section of the options at all.
The Category section is so you can make changes to the Categories a Post is listed in when that Post expires. Here’s the gist:
1. You select some categories on the options page.
2. Above that, you tell Content Scheduler what you want to happen to a Post’s Category list upon expiration:
a. Set the category list to match EXACTLY the ones you’ve selected.
b. Add the selected categories to the post’s category list.
c. Remove the selected categories from the post’s category list.
d. Apply no change.So, in your case, you probably just want to select “No change” in CS options under “Apply Category Changes As…”
Check out the PDF documentation that’s with the plugin. And, if you think it’s unclear and should be reworded, I’d love to hear about it — always trying to improve.

In reply to: [Content Scheduler] [Plugin: Content Scheduler] Expiration Time by defaultHi jumust,
Tomorrow’s 0.9.7 release includes a default amount of time to add, such as “expire this 3 days and 12 hours after publishing.”
However, if you want something more specific, like you always want the expiration to be at 12:30 or something… let me know.
Take care,
PaulContent Scheduler 0.9.7 should be out tomorrow 5/19/2011, with correct Multisite support and some other new features, FYI.
Take care,

In reply to: [Content Scheduler] [Plugin: Content Scheduler] Posts not expiring? Try thisShould be a 0.9.7 update to Content Scheduler 5/9/2011 that *might* fix the problem. I still cannot reproduce the problem, so it is difficult to track down. Hang in there…
