I’m using php v5.1.6.

However I opted to use a form from WuFoo so I could integrate to both HighRise and CampaignMonitor at the same time.

Thanks anyway!

I’m running into the same issue and nothing seems to work.

According to the Fever web site

Your CMS or blogging software might be interfering with the request. Try adding an .htaccess file to the /fever/ directory containing the following:

<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine   off
</IfModule>

And I tried epsil’s suggestion of ErrorDocument 401 "Unauthorized" and that didn’t work either.

Anyone have any other suggestions?

Ended up finding a version on MT and got them upgraded to 3.2. That gets me in so I can do a proper export and migrate them to WordPress.

Thanks for all the help guys! Your suggestions helped me find the right solution. ??

Fantastic suggestions! And this is a prime example of why people move to WP in droves.

1. Yes there are backups of the DB, I’ll search/ask the MT boards if there’s an export option outside of MT itself.

2. Yes all the posts have been published as individual pages, so I’ll look into the plugin and see if that would do the trick.

You guys R O C K ! ! !

Thank you!

Thanks for the fast reply samboll, but both links assume that you can export from MovableType, which I can’t do.

Any other suggestions?

I know that weblogs, inc. uses their own custom CMS tool, but I too would like the same functionality in my WordPress site.

Anyone?

Think I found the answer to my question. ??

NetTuts+ has an article called “Wordburner” that does just what we’re looking for.

https://net.tutsplus.com/misc/build-a-wordburner-email-newsletter-manager-using-wordpress-and-feedburner/

I’m interested in that as well.

The readers of my blog tend to be older and I think a monthly newsletter would bring back traffic to the site that would otherwise be missed.

Would love to hear if anyone else had done this, or had any thoughts on this.

HA! That was my next question and you answered it before I could even ask it.

Thanks again t310s_!

Thank you t310s_!

I searched and searched, but never found it. You rock!

Thank you MichaelH!

Your tip on the Redirectify plugin and using redirects for static pages was JUST what I was looking for.

Thank you, thank you, thank you.

Spent some more time digging and luckily came up with the right query in my searches to find an answer to what I was looking for. Here’s how I did it:

1. In my themes folder, I saved “archives.php” as a new file titled “article-archives.php”

2. In the article-archives.php template I added changed the template name from “Archives” to “Article Archives”

3. I created a new page called “Articles” and chose “Article Archives” as the template.

4. After that, I simply edited the article-archives.php template until it included just the entries tagged “Article” and tweaked the layout a bit. I found the article WordPress Archive that *works*: StepxStep Guide and Plugins very helpful.

Here’s the final code that I ended up with for my article archives:

<ul>
   <?php
      query_posts('meta_key=Entry-Type&meta_value=Article&showposts=-1' );
      if (have_posts()) :
         while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $category = get_the_category();
   ?>
   <li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>, by <?php the_author(); ?> on <?php the_date(); ?></li>
   <?php
      endwhile;
      endif;
   ?>
</ul>

Hope others might find this helpful.

Not getting an answer to my post, I decided to take a stab at a figuring out a solution on my own and I’m pretty happy with the results. Here’s what I did.

1. I created a custom field called “Entry-Type” and created to values, “Blog” and “Article”

2. I installed a plugin called More Fields which allowed me to set a default value of “Blog” and give me an easy-to-use pull down for my selections.

This way without doing anything an entry will be a blog and a field will be created for that entry. This solved a problem I was having in doing my queries because all entries have to have that new field populated for my list of entries to appear properly.

3. I modified my loops on the index page. For the top loop I only wanted to display the most recent entry whose Entry-Type was “Article”. This is the start of the loop that I used:

<?php
   query_posts('meta_key=Entry-Type&meta_value=Article&showposts=1' );
   if (have_posts()) :
      while (have_posts()) : the_post(); $category = get_the_category();
?>

For the other loops, I changed the meta_value to “Blog” and now my hope page is exactly how I want it.

Anyway, this is how I did it and I hope it’s helpful to someone else.

Thank you ZeRohiLL! You just made my morning go a LOT faster.

I’m looking for this too.
