The Loop

It’s supported natively. If you are using pretty permalinks, your feed is:
https://yourhost.com/yourblogdirectory/category/editorial/feed/

If that fails you can use:

if the category is 6. More info is here:

‘paste from word’ won’t convert your Word tables but it is handy to get the text over.

Save the word file as html and paste your selection’s html into the ‘code’ tab. You’ll still have to do some editing because Word’s HTML conversion is somewhat inconsistent in my experience.

Understand there is a significant difference between html editing which is what writing in WordPress is and writing in a word processor environment.

My theme has an “about” statment using a condition but it’s called by sidebar.php after it checks to see if a dynamic sidebar (widgets) is used. Consequently, the ‘about’ statement doesn’t appear because I use a dynamic sidebar.

So if you’re using widgets, move the ‘about’ code text in your theme before the call to the dynamic sidebar check.

replace 'this is a single post' with
'this is a single post';

Looks great. Now you may want to go back into your other pages and turn commenting off as appropriate.

Now that you’re up and running, I suggest you give template writing a try.

Couple of options for you. I’d recommend making a template using the page.php from your theme. Look around here to find out how to do that if you’re not sure. Right before the end of the Loop, add the following code <?php if (comments_open()) comments_template(); ?>. Use this template for the Submit Themes page.

Of course, you can add this code to your existing page.php file and be done with it AFTER you make a backup copy of your page.php file in case something goes wrong.

Keep in mind you only read about problems here. I had two glitches and they were both because of my specific configuration. They’re solved now so I’d say not to worry about upgrading.

Took the rogue index.php file out of my plugins folder and the dashboard redirect works again. Not sure how it got there in the first place.

If you are running the my page order plugin, get the updated version. There was a bug in it that broke the visual editor.

Visual editor is back. The offending plugin my page orderhas been updated and now works with 2.2.

The author went above and beyond my emailing me with the update announcement. Another reason to leave comments with plugin developers.

I had an odd experience. TinyMCE wasn’t loading on my Mac using Firefox 1.5.x and 10.3.9. I drafted a post saved and continued editing and all of a sudden, the visual editor appeared. I tried to replicate that and failed. I use an older version of tinyMCE with another application and it loaded fine using Firefox on the same Mac. I went home and tried Firefox on my Intel Mac running the latest 10.4.x system without the visual editor loading. Camino 1.0x also didn’t load the visual editor.

I tried the same thing using Firefox 2.0.3 on my Dell and never saw the visual editor. However, IE 7 loads the visual editor just fine.

I’m thinking this may be more of a tinyMCE problem than a wordpress problem.

Download the zip archive and upload the new widgets.php. This fix worked for me.

If you use the execPHP widget, the fix is here.
