anyone?

I usually just comment out the comments template request in the single.php file.

At a quick glance, that would be loop-single.php for the 2010 theme. And I think you would want to replace
<?php comments_template( ”, true ); ?>

with

<!– <?php comments_template( ”, true ); ?> –>

You have to modify the HTML entries in your wp-login file. You also might need to edit the wp-admin/css/login.css

I’ve done this. It’s temperamental, but can be done.

My advise is, next time you have to upgrade, back up your files because the upgrade could overwrite these files and undo your changes.

Anyone?

Nevermind. I got it.

Stunt: As far as I can tell from reading it, this is exactly what you need. You can put it in any file you want including your category. If you don’t want to use the built in thumbnail function for some reason, you can use replace (‘thumbnail’) with (array(200,150)), but then it will not crop it, just reduce it to fit within both parameters.

Not sure what you meant by popular posts and recent news. You didn’t say anything about that.

devravinder: Why do you want to change it? I mean, you can, but you have to edit the core files. Next time you upgrade it will just be back. Anyway, if you want to try to find it, my guess is it’s in this file:

/wp-admin/admin-header.php

It depends on your theme. It is usually in the header.php or some themes put it in something like menu.php. You just have to look for it.

Anyone? I thought this was an easy question. Guess not.

No plugin needed. Check it out:

<?php if ( has_post_thumbnail()) echo ‘<div style=”float:left; margin:10px;”>’; if ( has_post_thumbnail()) the_post_thumbnail(‘thumbnail’); if ( has_post_thumbnail()) echo ‘</div><div style=”margin-left:90px;”>’; ?>
<?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</div>

This code will check the post for a featured image. Then if it exists, it will add the div with the float and the margins. The left margin is so that your excerpt tabs over to account for the image. If you want it to wrap, just take that part out.

I check for the image first because I run a multi author blog and some authors don’t use images. This way, you don’t have to mess with a default thumb.

devravinder: Where do you want to remove the logo? If it is in the admin panel anywhere, you probably shouldn’t.

Is there something particular you liked about this plugin? I have been using Contact Form 7 for a long time. It’s easy and has never given me any issue. I would deactivate it and try another one. Or are the errors preventing you from deactivating it?

I tried to merge smf forum with wp a while back. The best way to do the site integration is to change your menu bar to use a bookmark list instead of a page list. That way you can define through a bookmark list exactly what links you would like to show. Use wp_list_bookmarks(). The arguments are nearly identical to wp_list_pages(), but if it doesn’t look quite right, look up these functions in the documentation part of this site and it will walk you through adding the correct paremeters.

I’m not the best at PHP. I only know a little, but what I believe you can do is merge the phpBB database with the wp database. Then you can alter the login on phpBB to use the wp login tables instead of the phpBB login tables. As I understand it, this is not a totally rare project so you can probably hire a freelancer to do it if you don’t know how for a decent wage. If you ever do it, I’d be curious to see how it worked out.
