*bump*

24h bump: can anyone help? Joomla and Drupal look like a complete nightmare, and all I need to be able to do with WordPress is have the content appear in feeds the same way it does in posts (ie with linebreaks and hyperlinks). Is this possible? Please?

EDIT: Never mind. I discovered that Textpattern supports rich-text RSS feeds, and since it’s pretty easy to use too I’m going to go with that.

UPDATE: I’ve since found out that Drupal can do the rich-text RSS thing, so no alternative suggestions are needed after all. However I’ve used WordPress on other projects for several years (and thus am much more familiar with it than with Drupal) and would greatly prefer to be able to use it for this project too.

Would this be any more complicated than just copy-pasting the loop code so I have two (slightly different) copies of the same thing?

What I was wanting to do is have a page template which displays that page’s content as normal, and then under that content displays a particular category of posts. Could I do that essentially by reversing your code? Take the code from a normal ‘single page’ template, and then put the query_posts line under the loop?

Thanks – unfortunately the tarski website seems to be down at the moment, but I found that plaintext theme Dgold was talking about (its called veryplaintxt), and it looks very promising (and light) – it actually resembles the default theme in Textpattern to some extent.

What’s wrong is that WordPress 2.0 was released in an incredibly buggy state. The only solution I can suggest is reverting to WP 1.5

You can turn off the Post Preview by hacking a file or two – see https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/53685. There isn’t a plugin to disable it (nor is there likely to be one, I don’t see any obvious way for a plugin to edit code) and as far as I know the uploads can’t be disabled unfortunately, and I don’t know which user levels get access to it either – like phpBB, WP 2.0 uses a ‘role’-based permission system, but unlikely phpBB, WordPress doesn’t actually tell you what each role does.

More to the point, where has the download link gone? It’s not on the beta page anymore and the support topic that did have the link has disappeared

EDIT: Just discovered that the Release Candidate isn’t there any more because WordPress 2.0 has been released.

No longer an issue – my database server was playing silly buggers, and deleting the database user (creating a new one with a different password) seems to have solved the problem. Moving swiftly on.

I’ve also tried XML-RPC (with w.bloggar) so I think wp-login.php can be ruled out from the possible list of culprits – unless xmlrpc.php calls it in some way (I don’t have a clue, I’m not a coder :P)

It isn’t a matter of Firefox ‘coping’ – Firefox complies with the CSS specification, so Firefox is in the right. It’s a bug because the code does not display a proper footer when interpreted according to the W3C standard.

I couldn’t find the issue Jasoomian was talking about in my IE, but his site is in fact affected by the Firefox bug we’ve been discussing.

EDIT: This is a WORDPRESS BUG (in the Kubrick theme). Here’s the extract from the CSS that is causing the problem:
#footer {
padding: 0 0 0 1px;
margin: 0 auto;
width: 760px;
clear: both;
}
That ‘1px’ is what is causing the shift – and Firefox shifting the footer is actually correct behaviour. The reason it doesn’t occur in IE is because IE doesn’t fully conform to the CSS standard (as we all know) and just ignores the shift.

That is significant – if you are getting it in IE then it is a WordPress problem and not a Firefox one.

I was using the iFox theme, but removing all extensions and switching to the default theme does not seem to have made a difference – I’ve also just tested it in IE 6 and it works fine. Also, a reinstall of Firefox (from a clean installer download) didn’t make any difference.
