  • “Just put in a different prefix and the tables will be created. ?? Then just use includes to pull in the other things where you want them to show up. You want multiple blogs on the front page? “
    Southerngal can you elaborate on this a little?
    I assume you mean to run the install after changing the config.php prefix per blog which will create tables in the SQL database, right?
    Does this mean that one should run this from new uploaded directories or just by making the change in the config file itself and running the same install over and over until all blogs have been added? In other words, does this require a new word press directory for every blog/category that we add?
    I figure the only way that I am going to get multiple archival routines is by having multiple wp blogs installed.
    P.S. I typed in “multiple blogs” and the only relative content lead me back to this thread.

    Okay, after spending the day trying to make this archival thing happen I have checked out numerous wp websites and ALL of them archive in the same way. This is the same problem that I have run into with other CMS’s and to be honest it’s driving me nuts–both as a reader and a site owner.
    As a reader, I would guess most of us do a quick survey of the website on initial entry. We look for information that appeals to us, then click the link to explore it. If our attention is captured we then explore the information further by according to the topic that gained our initial interest. Once we have exhausted this pursuit, we then pick a different topic from the selection, if there are any, then peruse by that topic, etc. etc. etc.
    Now here’s the problem with CMS and multiple category blogs. The first page is great. You get a few articles that are relative, jump down to the archive links for more and BOOM! you’re bombarded with every ounce of extraneous information that you could or could care less to know from astrophysics to what the author did at a party the night before. So what is a person to do that wanted to find that great snippet of information on “How to create usable archives” when instead they are getting a lot of information that does not relate in any way to their search? You guessed it–close out of the page and go back to their favorite search engine to look for another site that provides a more useable structure to convey the information they are looking for. I don’t think we really care about ‘when’ an article was written, with the exception of event based journaling, as much as we care about following an interest path. Don’t get me wrong, sorting by date is often a neccessity and one of my own priorities, but if there isn’t a way to stick to the subject when clicking on “February”, then slapping the reader with…
    “Programming 101: February 2nd: Cat-Computers”,…
    “How to Plant Tulips: February 6th: Cat-The Art of Botany”, and…
    “Why Harry Met Sally:February 9th: Cat-Favorite Movies”
    …all on one archive page will just roll the visitors right off your site dizzy, disoriented, and frustrated.
    So…since I have yet to see anyone archiving their posts by category, from coders to newbies, should I assume this simply can’t be done with a CMS based system? I’m not a programmer but I can’t imagine that something this simple could be that big of a task for someone who is. Or is it?

    https://www.mysite.com/wordpress/index.php would be the root but you could potentially put it in the main index i.e. https://www.mysite.com/index.php if you wanted to. I don’t think it really cares where you put it since the files in the wordpress directory are doing the work of calling the information from SQL.
    wp-config.php talks to the SQL.
    DB_NAME, ‘yourSQLdatabasename’ The name of the database
    DB_USER’, ‘yourSQLloginusername’ Your MySQL username
    DB_PASSWORD’, ‘yourpassword’ …and password
    DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’ 99% chance you won’t need to change this value

    When using the mailer I receive this message. Anyone have any ideas?

    I don’t have my files in front of me but there is a page that has “magic text”, or something to that effect, in the source, but I think there is another text tool remarked out right below it. I remarked out the magic text and went with the other one instead and it seems to work. ‘Might want to run a source code search from an editor such as Dreamweaver on the wordpress directory and see if ‘magic’ pops up.

    I would like this is information as well.

    A small cosmetic problem. How should I designate the font in the stylesheet for WMP9 bloggar plugin? My content text is fine, but media info is abnormally large?

    Any way to add an html template to email comment notifications as opposed to plain text?

    Great feature. Can you explain what character “&#92” stands for or should that literally be put into the code? Put into my page this way just displays the title of my post with an /n after it and no hyperlinking.

    Well here’s a link to my page if anyone wants to see an example of this. It prevents posting of photos as well (from within the post) since the hash marks disrupt the URL linking.

    Uh…that example didn’t quite display how I intended it to.
