I did not. Thank you so much! I somehow missed reference to that function in the localization tutorials I read, but it now makes perfect sense.

Vincenzo and I have been in contact through email. I added the free text field he wanted, but I have to tighten up the code before releasing a new version.

Yea, Space, looks like a plugin is necessary. Here’s what the codex has to say. https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Meta_Tags_in_WordPress

This highlights a WordPress shortcoming: it is blog oriented instead of page oriented. After looking over a good dozen CMS products, I believe nothing beats WordPress for blogging, but for page-oriented sites, I’ve found Wolf CMS suits me better (though I’d never use it for blogging).

Space, I’m pretty new to WordPress myself, but I think you’ll need a plugin for SEO. The meta tags that go on every single page can be put into the theme files that build the HTML page (usually header.php but could be all in index.php). But for the variable tags that change from page to page, I think you’ll need a plugin.

These forums have such high volume that you’ll probably get a better response if you post new questions in new threads. After a day or so, the original thread is too far back to get much notice. ??

Thanks, Rev. Voodoo. I guess I haven’t seen much variation in loops, but I am pretty new to WordPress. I’ll keep my eyes open for themes that do more than the basic listing of posts. If you know if any, let me know. ??

I checked out your website, and it looks like WordPress should be fine. If anything, since your website seems to be permanent content (except for the news feed and the forum stream), WordPress might have more features than you need; on the other hand, you may start using those features.

If you haven’t, get Apache, PHP, and MySQL running on your own computer so that you can run applications like WordPress without getting on the internet. Then check out https://php.opensourcecms.com/ and look at all the various CMS and blog systems available. Play with the demos and download a dozen or so to try out. Once you get a look at what’s out there, you can better decide what works for you.

As for the CSS, well, I hear ya, but it’s very useful. The HTML is just to lay out the different parts of the page, the fact that it has a header, two columns, etc. and then the CSS determines what the header and the two columns look like. It actually simplifies your work once you get used to it.

For example, your vertical navigation links consist of GIFs images, and there’s a mouseover event that switches the GIF to make it look like a button was pressed. It’s a lot of coding, but that’s how it used to be done. With CSS, however, you make an unordered list (UL) with each navigation link enclosed in LI tags, and then use CSS to give the list the appearance you want, including whether it’s vertical or horizontal.

I have one category (and one post), so I don’t think that’s the problem either. ??

I’m having the same problem you’re having except I’m using an old 1.5 version. Two other small exceptions are that I only experience the deal when saving a post, not when loading a post nor when starting a new article, and also that I don’t get confirmation from the host in two minutes. I’ve left it sitting there for an hour, and the little IE world just spins and spins and spins…

The problem is particular to this host, as WP installations I’ve set up on other hosts with the same exact set of WP files do not have this problem. I’m all but positive it’s not a WP problem but something at the hosting end, but I was hoping to find out more before I try to take it up with the hosting company.

Maybe empty your cache or delete cookies or something like that because when I visit your site, I see the graphics okay. Also, if I click on the URL to your image, I see the graphic, I am not redirected to /jadulportal.

I’m sorry I don’t have a better answer! :~(

Largely, the issue is changing the database records to reflect the new URL/URIs. You shouldn’t have to reinstall WP — that is, there is no need to create new database tables. But check this out in the codex:

Strange… I see it just fine. You have a header with a Merry Christmas and a snowy background, and the language seems to be (but probably isn’t) something like Tagalog?

Ni first time tengok movie dengan Tedd and Anitaa€| gi tengok kat OU TGV lagi tu, betapa jauh nak pergi ni, berkobar-kobar. Jalan kira traffic teruk juga lah, si Nita tidur dalam kepenatan, siap berdengkur lagi (tak sanggup aku nak post picture dia kat sini, tunggu lah kalau aku jadi setan aku letak :p).

You say permissions don’t stick after you change them? That sounds like an issue with your host, not WP.

Do the permissions just not stick for that directory? Could be some kind of corruption that only your host can fix. Can you rename the wp directory to something else, and upload a clean install into a newly created directory (with the same name as the original wp directory)?

If that works, then move forward, and just ask your host to nuke the bad old directory.

I’m using a pretty barebones theme, and in the file sidebar.php, I have <?php get_links_list(); ?>

That get_links_list function is part of the WordPress includes, and it does all the formatting and everything.

Well, somebody was saying yesterday that WordPress doesn’t work very well with redirects.

Oops, thanks for the clarification!
