Your “.htaccess” file should be located in your root folder…

“However, should’nt it alway go back to the home page with the perlink set like tht?”

No, because with this “/%category%/%postname%/”, you’re assigning a “permanent” link to each post which is https://www.yourdomain.com/whatevercategory/nameofpost

Solved it…

the answer was with this function in the theme’s function.php file:

function twentyten_continue_reading_link() {
	return ' <a href="'. get_permalink() . '">' . __( 'Continue reading <span class="meta-nav">&rarr;</span>', 'twentyten' ) . '</a>';
}

changed that to :

function twentyten_continue_reading_link() {
	return ' <a href="'. get_permalink() . '">' ."". '</a>';
}

Thanks for the lead to the solution ??

sorry it took so long to respond….thanks for the links..I’ll review them

I’m using WordPress 3.0.1 (the latest version), theme 2010..

I just tried it and nothing’s happening…

I placed the function in my functions.php file and called the_excerpt() in the loop file and “Continue reading” still appears..even though I changed the text in the functions.php file to “” (nothing)..

oooooooooohhhhhhhh…..

“The function edits the_excerpt on the fly.”

So ‘this’ is what apply_filter does….it replaces the original function with the new one..right?

Okay..

this is ‘exactly’ what I did earlier…

I loaded this function into my themes ‘function.php’ file..

and I called it in my ‘loop-gallery.php’ file with

<?php new_excerpt_more() ?>

and I got an error stating that I need an argument…understandable because the funciton has “$more” for an argument..

but what am I to put there? when I look at the function I don’t see how that argument is used..

Thanks for replying…

So far I’ve read material on “the_excerpt()”..

the problem is that when I look at the source of this function, I don’t see where it assigns p, a, or span tags to the output.

However, I do see those tags in “the_content()”, which means I can alter it..just as the document you suggested I read states.

But, “the_excerpt()” is working perfectly fine with the exception of the “Continue read” issue…So this is my first time developing a site in WordPress and it’s really a matter of me not wanting to figure out “where” in the control panel I need to put things so I can effectively use “the_content()” instead of using “the_excerpt()”…

So..I’m thinking that there has to be a way to control the “Continue reading” text using “the_excerpt()”…

any more suggestions on that? or would you suggest me scrapping that and using “the_content()”?

are you trying to lay it out in website format? administered by the WP platform?

The second file that says download is the file that you have to copy it’s contents to manually created file called “flashxml” then save to

/wp-content/

Then the first files that you download are the plugin files and you just upload the whole file to wp-content/plugins and activate within the control panel.

I got it to show, however, I have an error showing right above it:

Undefined offset: 7 in /home/content/s/o/c/socialowner/html/wp-content/plugins/media-slideshow-fx/media-slideshow-fx.php on line 52

not sure how to solve this..

appreciate the response..thanks…

Thanks for replying…

I did and it didn’t work…I copied the entire code and just dropped it. I didn’t see any image tags in the RSS/xml code..I’m trying to figure out if there’s something else I need to do..?…

@rvoodoo..

sorry for the late response…working a regular 9-5….anyway…I saw a post with your response before with the same code and I saved it to my favorites…

I already copied your code and placed it in the functions.php, but in the wp-includes file…

Is this the right file? Also, with these lines:

add_filter('the_excerpt_rss', 'insertThumbnailRSS');
add_filter('the_content_feed', 'insertThumbnailRSS');

where are these lines added? it seems like these lines would be in a different file that forms the RSS 2.0 tags..like:

<link><?php get_link() ?></link>
<image><?php echo add_filter('the_excerpt_rss', 'insertThumbnailRSS'); ?></image>

or something like that..

Thanks for the suggestion, but yeah this is outdated because the file “wp-rss2.php” is deprecated…do you have any other suggestions?…I’m still trying to figure out what file(s) controls everything.

Got it…thanks a lot…

what I used was:

<?php

if ( is_category('backdoor_home') )

{
  include( ABSPATH . 'wp-content/themes/one-theme/layouts/backdoor-layout.php' );

}
else 

{
  include( ABSPATH . 'wp-content/themes/one-theme/layouts/blog-layout.php' );

}
?>

..as it relates to how this thing is developer of course..
