I actually found a way to control the “before,” “between,” and “after” for links titles and descriptions without even using the plugin (which eliminates my problem). In case anyone else is searching for this solution, here’s what you do: If you go to https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Template_Tags/get_links_list, you’ll see that you can use the get_links tag in such a way that you will be able to format the links list without a plugin. Hurrah for the new Codex!

Anyone familiar with the plug-in for dtw_get_links_list (https://wiki.www.ads-software.com/GetLinksListFixed?PHPSESSID=ef9c277d284172408164a8b89411be4d)?

I used this before I upgraded to 1.5, and it worked. Now when I try to activate the plug-in, I get the following warning on my WP admin page:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/gretche/public_html/wp-content/plugins/dtw-links.php:87) in /home/gretche/public_html/wp-admin/admin.php on line 6

Did something change in the upgrade that’s messing with the plug-in?

I’ve found the answer!

After hours and hours of searching on the internet, I found ONE person with an answer. In IE (and only IE, to my knowledge), if you have a div that has an image in it, you CANNOT have a return between the opening and closing (<div></div>) tags or IE will insert 3 px extra space after the image. Why? Who knows? But as soon as I deleted the returns so that my banner div was written out all on one line, the space went away.

Go figure. ??

Thanks, Beel. I corrected this problem in both sites. I’m no longer getting the same error message (can anyone explain why I would’ve gotten the mesage that I did [see first post above] when the only problem was a missing space? Just curious.), although it’s pointing out a new error caused by the navbar generated Blogger, which I can do nothing about. Oh, well, I’m as validated as I can get, I guess. Thanks again!

Just tried that, with no success. It was a good suggestion, though.

Anyone else have ideas?

Oriecat, I don’t remember now how I did this (wish I’d seen your question sooner). But there’s a separate file somewhere in your WP files (probably comments_popup) that needs to be fixed. I found this info by searching the forums here, so hopefully by now you’ve done the same and found your answer. Sorry I can’t remember what I did!

I’ve been doing some web research and reading some forums, and I’m wondering if there’s someone out there who does NOT have Norton pop-up blocker who would trying validating my CSS by entering my URL (www.muppetous.com) into the CSS validator (https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/) for me and tell me if you get an error message or not. Any takers?

Ah, podz, I almost missed your comment. I did the same thing, pasted the CSS into the validator, and then it worked fine. Same with the HTML. But when I enter the site’s URL into the CSS validator INSTEAD of pasting the CSS directly in, I get that error message about invalid XML and the “null” character. (If you view the source code of the page, way down at the bottom there’s some javascript, which I didn’t generate, that has the “null” element in it. This is the part I’m confused by.)

I haven’t quite figured out how the line-counting works. I would think the two different validators would count the same way, but I’m not sure about that.

Argh!

I’ve filled in those missing links in the a href=” “, but I’m still getting the error message (for both sites: https://www.muppetous.com and leftintheshade.blogspot.com) when I enter the URLs in the CSS validator.

The error for https://www.muppetous.com is on line 219, column 54, and the error for leftintheshade.blogspot.com is on line 391, column 293. (Both errors read the same; see initial post above for the exact wording.)

Any other ideas?

Oops, sorry! Here’s the CSS validator: https://jigsaw.w3.org/css-validator/

(If you need to take a look at the HTML validator for any reason, you can click on the link at the top of the screen for validating HTML.)

Thanks!

Podz, you rock! Thanks a million!

Thanks, Podz. I also had to have my host fix something with the new domain, and now both domains point to the right thing.

I have another problem, though: Although my URLs point to the right site, I am no longer able to get into my WordPress admin to write new posts, edit, etc. When I try to do so, I get a screen that says:

I don’t know this system well enough to understand what the problem is. Can anyone help?

Don’t know if anyone’s still looking for this info, but I found this in the Wiki:
<?php wp_get_linksbyname(‘category’); ?>
Where it says “category” you either fill in the links category name or you leave it blank. If you leave it blank, it will automatically pull in links from all categories. (I misunderstood a previous comment to mean that I should leave “links” in that space, but when I read it again, I realized that person was saying the same thing I am. I thought maybe if I explained it in my own words, it would help anyone who had the same misunderstanding I did.)
It would look like this:
<?php wp_get_linksbyname(”); ?>

Yeah, I tried those, and I don’t know if I’m just not “getting” the instructions or what, but it’s not working. Here’s the archives version. What do I need to type in place of <?php get_archives(‘monthly’,”,’option’, 1); ?>. That part seems to be my problem.
<form name=”archiveform” action=””>
<select name=”archive_chrono” onchange=”window.location = (document.forms.archiveform.archive_chrono [document.forms.archiveform.archive_chrono.selectedIndex].value);”>
<option value=”>By Month</option>
<?php get_archives(‘monthly’,”,’option’, 1); ?>
</select>
</form>
I can get the menu to show up, but the links don’t work. Or else they appear outside of the dropdown.
Am I just being stupid here?
