I saw a mention at one point about doing some meet up like functionality on www.ads-software.com so users/devs can plan meet ups on the site. I’m not sure how exactly it could all work but it is a good idea. I believe there is a events GSoC project as well.

You found the WordPress page? (as in the install screen) or are you looking at something else now? (Can you post another screen shot of what you are looking at?)

Which guide are you following?

Do you see anything if you go to

https://localhost/

or

https://localhost/~_username_

replacing _username_ with whatever the user name for your Mac is?

You could redirect it through your .htaccess file (how the URLs are rewritten in WordPress). The downside is if you edit it and then change a setting regarding permalinks the change will be overridden.

I can’t guarantee this will work but it does work for me on the test I did.

in your .htaccess file:

Right above

RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]

add

RewriteRule ([0-9]{4})/([0-9]{1,2})/(.*).html $1/$2/$3 [R=301,L]

This tells your system to redirect urls with a year/day/title.html format to the same url without .html this is done using a “301” redirect which search engines will read and know that the page has permanently moved to the new url.

try adding vertical-align: top; to .submit

I tried it in firefox with firebug and it worked for me.

Even with the template edit mentioned in the install notes? It just simply stayed ordered by date?

If you want to keep the same permalink format (with .html at the end) you should be able to edit the permalink structure under Settings and add “.html” (without the quotes) right after the post name.

Or do you just want a redirect?

First I would either switch to the default theme as mentioned and then reupload a new set of theme files for the theme that was hacked.

Double check that all plugins have been updated and that you are on the very latest version of WordPress.

Stats can be provided by the following plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/stats/ which required some additional configuration to get working (an API key)

Like rainer23 said, WordPress would make it pretty easy to do this.

If you want the comments to be private set up a WordPress blog, install a petition plugin and insert it into a post/page.

If you don’t care if they are public signatures you could just have a post or page that people comment on and the comment would be a “signature”.

Hi,

If you are using a service such as Akismet or Stats you will need a WordPress.com API key. They are free for personal use.

This WordPress.com article on api keys describes why and how to get one.

You could use get_the_excerpt to intercept the output of get_excerpt before it is outputted, do what you need with it to get it to validate (strip out tags and the like) and then wrap it in a link tag using the_permalink.

What error are you getting when you try to install?

Hi,

As you mentioned in your title you need to “get a gravatar”. You can do this by going to https://en.gravatar.com/ and signing up with whatever email address you are using for your blog account.

This avatar will also transfer to any other blogs you comment on with the same email, the support forums here and other places.

Hi dorianj,

It looks like a plugin such as postmash-filtered might work. The description describes the plugin letting you reorder posts through and interface. I think this might be what you are looking for.

Thanks,
