did you do a search in the forums?
There’s a Feedburner subscribe via email Plugin and there’s bbPress for forums. Try searching for plugins here.

I just installed Role Manager on 2.5 and it worked brilliantly – just used it to add file upload to Contributor roll.

Now that themes.wordpress.net isn’t taking new themes where can one go to find newer themes?

yes, but this has nothing to do with wordpress. just use .htaccess to intercept anything with old folder structure in url to your root, or if everything maps then just replace that part of the url in the rule.

Dreamhost Wiki has a good primer

Nevermind, doh! The admin panel in 2.3 includes ‘Import’ option providing a conversion script to move Ultimate Tag Warrior tags to WordPress native tags.

Les, I’m not a regular WP hacker, any advice on importing UWT tags to WordPress Tags? Got a SQL statement handy??

I installed reCAPTCHA, which is a great concept, but it didn’t work. If I skipped the CAPTCHA altogether it would still seem to post the comment with no feedback to the user. Could be my template but there’s insufficient documentation so I’m skipping it for now. Back to just using Askimet, which works pretty darn well.

Yah, still working on the PHP thing myself. Managed to get Pages to display all their subpages. Haven’t tried the DESC instead of ASC for dates. You should look into custom query and keep searching…

If I search for something in the pages from the Manage > Pages area it works fine. If I search for something in the Manage > Posts area, that searches only in posts (not pages) as expected. So nope, no problems with that here.

What plugins are you using? Are you using any that converted posts to pages? If you are familiar with accessing the database you might go to phpMyAdmin and see if your pages are listed as such in the posts table.

I would not use Randy’s method, as it involved modifying the core, which will stop working when you upgrade. There are plugins that will extend search to pages.

Please search the codex for this and/or search before posting. There are at least two plugins that will enable search to span pages as well as posts.

I was trying to assign the_ID() to a var to use in a custom query and it was driving me nuts since echoing was working fine. I don’t really understand it but $id worked.

However, if someone wants to explain that, more specifically, how could/would you store the results from the_ID() in a variable so you could use it as an int?

Since you’re only displaying one page use the_ID(); to get the page ID, as seen in the page.php template.

Btw, I created a page using the Codex instructions Displaying Posts using a Custom Select Query That would display the full posts of subpages for a page.

Here’s the code, if anyone’s interested.

<?php
/*
Template Name: Parent Page
This page displays current page entry and the full posts of all subpage entries.
It was created for use with documentation where you have outline-type docs with subsections.
*/
?>
<?php get_header(); ?>

	<div id="content" class="narrowcolumn">
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post();
?>
		<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
		<h2><?php the_title(); ?> </h2>
		<?php edit_post_link('Edit', '<small>', '</small>'); ?>
<?php

 $querystr = "SELECT wposts.* ".
    "FROM $wpdb->posts wposts ".
    "WHERE wposts.post_status = 'publish' ".
    "AND wposts.post_type = 'page' ".
		"AND wposts.post_parent = '". $id ."' ".
    "ORDER BY wposts.menu_order ASC";

 $pageposts = $wpdb->get_results($querystr, OBJECT);

 ?>
 <?php if ($pageposts): ?>
 <?php foreach ($pageposts as $post): ?>
 <?php setup_postdata($post); ?>

 <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
 <h3><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>">
    <?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
    <small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?> <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ''); ?><!-- by <?php the_author() ?> --></small>
    <div class="entry">
       <?php the_content('Read the rest of this entry ?'); ?>
    </div>
 </div>
 <?php endforeach; ?>
 <?php else : ?>
    <h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
    <p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
    <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/searchform.php"); ?>
 <?php endif; ?>
		</div>
		<?php endwhile; endif; ?>
 	</div>

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

Is there a way to extract the current post (page) ID from the existing querystring and then store it in new var so that you could create a generic template instead of manually specifying the page ID?

(I don’t know PHP very well yet)
