I tried that code but its not working

< ?php wp_utterquotes_daily($topic = ‘ ‘); ? >

the code is in the plugin so not sure why it wouldn’t be working is ($topic=’ ‘); correct ?

I get a blank even though the topic has quotes

I wouldnl’t plan on wordpress being CMS qualified anytime soon, you can create a temporary solution with enough hacks and plugins to make it do most CMS like things, it will be messy but doable, the trick is to stop looking at WP as a blogging system and begin looking at it as a CMS solution, the more I did this the more I began to hack away, I think WP by default has made it very clear they don’t want to head in the CMS direction and prefer to remain only a blogging software, but if you really want to stay with WP you can make it do what you want just have to be prepared to hack like a lumberjack ??

WordPress seems moldable to many uses if you are willing to delve into its architecture and do a little hacking. There are so many plugins written it would be almost impossible to say “WordPress can’t…”

I wouldn’t necessarily consider having to hack core files and use 100 plugins to make your site sing is worthy of saying its the greatest, if you have to hack it and use so many plugins then its a safe bet that you need something more robust like a real CMS system

just my 2 cents ??

that’s like saying sure you can fly to the moon, that is if you got a rocket and enough $$$ to pay for the fuel – anything is doable

truth be told wordpress is very limited – its a blogging software nothing more, sure you can make it sing if you want to take an axe and hack the files and search for 100’s of plugins (pray they work) best of luck to ya

I guess the next question would be what defines a page ??

is a footer and sidebar considered a page ? Since they are two different files

the loop seems to refer to the main pages like index, home, page, archive but I have found that this loop has not effect on items in footer or sidebar, it only appears to effect the main content area

is there away to use this to pull the link as well ?

I get tired of everything always having to be in the loop which is limited to what page, I wish WP would be more flexible in allowing us to put anything anywhere we want on any page

why does this link keep crashing Safari browser ? Everytime i click on it it kills Safari, anyone have that trouble ?

click on the link at the top of the post and you see what i mean

sorry i wasn’t refering to the regular posts via the admin, i was refering to adding a single post (content) with read more link anywhere on the page in the footer in the sidebar any place
– –
found out why the more link wasn’t showing, i didn’t have a post page designated only a static page for the main page

i’m trying to display a single post on a static page

how to show the read more link ?

at least half or more of the plugins on wp-plugins.net don’t even work with the lastest version of WP i rarely go there its a useless database if you are always upgrading

how come some of the code like the one above the read more doesn’t appear to work

i tried the < ?php the_content(__(‘Read More »’)); ? > but instead of separating the content with a read more link it just displays the entire post

is there another way to do it ?

I figured this out edit wp-includes/pluggable.php

around line 520 after site url add

$message .= sprintf((‘ add notification message: ‘)) . “\r\n”;

yes this is hacking a core file but due to the lack of flexibly in WP, I have joined the many users who are strong supporters of hacking the files to suit your needs so hack away ??

found a plugin to get the job done
https://www.village-idiot.org/archives/2007/07/18/u-mail-for-wordpress/

although I still think this should be turned off by default in all new WP installs, it’s a bug as far as i’m concerned

the plugin is design to send out automatically any time there’s a new post which is what i don’t want, there’s no way to disable that i found some other plugins that are useful for emailing the different users groups

copy what already exist in your template pages and put them in the 404.php page
