In reply to: [Custom Post Limits] [Plugin: Custom Post Limits] PaginationI’ve been experiencing the same problem as well, with a Front Page Limit of 1~4 and subsequent Paged Limit of 8 and above.
Essentially, it seems that subsequent paged limits greater than 8 don’t work.

In reply to: Writing the HTML output of a Dynamic Sidebar to fileTo answer my own question and hopefully help others facing similar problems, here’s my solution:
(Take note of the annotations)
<?php // Put this at the start of the script ob_start(); // Initialize WordPress, etc require('wp-config.php'); $wp->init(); $wp->parse_request(); $wp->query_posts(); $wp->register_globals(); /* Load the contents of a widget area. Usually, dynamic_sidebar only returns "true" upon a successful function call, but as we'll see later on, the HTML output that is sent to the browser can be captured and saved to a file */ dynamic_sidebar( 'top-widget-area' ); // Get the contents of the file, which obstensibly contains the desired HTML output of the widget $page = ob_get_contents(); ob_end_flush(); // Write the contents to a text file $fp = fopen("menu.txt","w"); fwrite($fp,$page); fclose($fp); ?>

In reply to: WordPress / phpBB theme integrationWhen I first started out I immediately thought of WP-United.
However, according to the phpBB forums, the mod author had abandoned the plugin – i.e. no longer updating code / supporting users. This is because WP-United was written for earlier versions of WP and phpBB, and does not work with the latest versions of either installation.
To save you from the grief, I strongly recommend you NOT use WP-United.

In reply to: WordPress / phpBB theme integrationAs you guys had warned me, the process seems to be far more convoluted than it first appears.
“Cloning” the phpBB theme in WordPress instead of a proper integration does not meet my requirements because I need to have the phpBB login box / user control panel link up in the top box, and only phpBB can determine if the user is actually logged in.
iframes may be a quick and dirty way of adding the WP menu to the phpBB template, but based on what I’ve read elsewhere on the web, that is generally bad design practice (makes for dodgy page indexing, etc).
AJAX and jquery? Probably a bit much at this stage.

In reply to: WordPress / phpBB theme integrationYou guys just reminded me of another bridge plugin I was using prior to my current one. It did a fairly good job of making WordPress use my existing phpBB themes, although it handled the user authentication side quite poorly.
I have the source files for this unused plugin, so maybe I could reverse engineer how the author did the theme integration.
Wish me luck! ??

Do you have backups of your theme files?

In reply to: Twenty Eleven Child Theme Single Post Page with SidebarI didn’t bother with child themes – I directly edited the original Twenty Eleven files.
Not necessarily recommended practice, but it was a quick and dirty solution that worked for me.

In reply to: Twenty Eleven Child Theme Single Post Page with SidebarI had the exact same problem last night. Luckily, I managed to resolve this ??
In the Theme Editor, go to single.php and add the following:
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>
In a new line just above the footer code at the bottom of the file:
<?php get_footer(); ?>
Next, go to functions.php (Theme Functions) and find the following at the bottom of the file:
add_filter( 'body_class', 'twentyeleven_body_classes' );
Comment it out and it will force WordPress to stop differentiating between normal and single post pages.

In reply to: Blog Post Titles Not Right In Google SearchI suspect this might be variations in the way Google “crawls” the web and indexes entries.

In reply to: Creating a menuIn the dashboard, go to Appearance > Menus
Directly under the heading “Menus” there should be a little box titled “Theme Locations”. Inside that little box is a drop-down menu labelled “Primary Menu”. You can use that to choose the menu you previously defined with all your pages.
If you’re still stuck, try posting a screenshot for us to see.
