I could too, but this issue is being able to do it so that it doesn’t look completely amateurish. I lack the graphics design skills to create a professional-looking site… and that’s why altering a pre-made theme came to mind.

Ok, mine is now working. I basically deleted all files off the host except .htaccess and the wp-content and wp-images folders, and then reinstalled it. I ran the upgrade program. I did this time use
https://mysite.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php

last time I used

https://www.mysite.com/wp-admin/upgrade.php

Not sure if that made a difference, or if maybe one of the files wasn’t installed properly last time. I have seen two or three different people talking about the same errors I got, so not sure how we all happened upon the same error.

mariocdl, I am having the exact same problems. This is why I hate upgrading… sigh.

I am getting the same error with 2.01:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: check_admin_referer() … on line 5

Have tried deleting wp-admin and uploading it, doesn’t work. CAnnot activate any plugins. I am using only the ones that came with WordPress.

Well, guess this software removes the spaces… Anyway, getlinklistcategory and the 2 links under it show up slightly indented compared to monthly and the stuff under it.

Sorry to keep posting to myself, I fixed the font problems by setting the sidebar font size to .9, the sidebar h2 font size to .8, removing the font-size tag from sidebar ul, and then I removed all the stuff I added (and the new stuff you suggested). Now the fonts are a consistent size on the sidebar (Hooray).

The only remaining issue is that my links/categories pulled from get_links_list display slightly indented compared to the other links on the rest of the page. Might be easier to show what I mean (I am overrepresenting it but it gives you the right idea):

GETLINKLISTCATEGORY1
link1
link2

MONTHLY
October 2005
November 2005

One other thing to note, the default/Kubrick theme handles get links list ok in links.php:

<?php get_links_list(); ?>

There are no issues with bullets, mismatched fonts, or formatting, so I’m not sure what is going on in fasttrack. I would prefer to use Fasttrack instead of kubrick, but it has proved frustrating trying to get it to display these link categories consistently with the other stuff on the sidebar.

Just an addendum. After fooling about I added the following and things look better:

#sidebar ul li h2
{ margin: 0;
padding: 0 5px;
font-size: 0.9em;
color: #333;
text-transform:uppercase;
border-bottom:#ccc 1px solid;
}
#sidebar ul li ul li {
margin: 0.5em 0 0 0;
padding: 0;
font-size:1.1em;
}

Things are not good enough now with one exception… For some reason, IE6 renders the font for the link categories a larger size than the sidebar fonts for Meta, Categories, etc., whereas in Firefox these fonts are the same size. Second, the link categories are slightly to the right of the Meta, Categories, etc. The whole font issue is strange. You would think that “sidebar ul li h2” would use the same font size as “sidebar h2” (.8em), but instead .8 shows link categories way too small in both IE and firefox, whereas .9em looks fine in firefox but too large in IE.

It’s too bad you can’t just eliminate the UL tags around get-links-list, but that brings back those stupid bullets.

Thx for the help. When I added what you mention above, I was able to get the link fonts to match up using 1.1em. However, two bad things occurred. First, it changed the fonts for the link category names (making them smaller) and they no longer match the fonts for the other sidebar headings (Meta, Monthly, etc). Also, the links were indented and now are indented further than the links under Monthly and Meta.

The only way it looks almost right is to eliminate the UL tags around get_links_list. However, as mentioned before, I then see bullets next to each of the link categories.

Man… thank you so much!

Hey, that did it! Thanks. Not sure why the h2’s were within the parens with the other command, but not this one.

Here is a partial listing of things I’ve tried, along with at least a dozen other things that return parse errors.
<?php the_time(‘<h2>”m/d/Y”</h2>’); ?> returns <122>”11/29/2004″
<?php the_time(”,'<h2>”m/d/Y”‘,'</h2>’); ?> returns 12:28pm
<?php the_time(‘<h2>’,”m/d/Y”</h2>’); ?> returns 11/29/2004 (but not the same header font as displayed with the_date)
<?php the_time(‘m/d/Y’,'<h2>’,'</h2>’); ?> returns 11/29/2004 (but not the same header font as displayed with the_date)
Has anyone figured this out? I cannot find anything anywhere on this. All I want to do is show the date on every post, and show it exactly as it appears now.

Problem just solved. Your idea helped… I reuploaded upload.php and that fixed the problem. It must have been corrupted.
