Hello mtschirs,

No not yet. So far I’ve disabled all plugins except for:

Akismet
Facebook Page Publish
Table of Contents Creator
TF FAQ

I’ve been disabling one at a time with each new post and apparently I’ve been slacking on new posts… lol I do need to figure this out so I’ll do a few more posts to cover the remaining plugins and get back to you here.

I was thinking, the theme I’m using came with a few added plugins like a shopping cart that don’t show up in my plugin list so I’m assuming they’re placed somewhere I’m not used to seeing them within the theme or wordpress install. One of them might be the culprit. Any thoughts on how to find out which are those files?

Thanks again for your help.

update:

I disabled the custom meta plugin and still have the same problem. I’ll continue to disable plugins and hopefully find the culprit.

I’ll report back here when I have more info.

Thanks again.

No problem… My blog is BodyByMarco That’s also the name of my FB page. Where you can see how the posts come across.

I’ll try disabling the Custom Meta plugin before my next post and let you know.

Thank you for looking into this for me.

You could always add a link to your home(main) page in your blog roll and just link it to your main page.

Looks ok to me in IE7 and FF, if you’re talking about the Request for free advice stuff.

The short answer is to you can change wp_list_categories to to your liking.

Scroll down the page and read the section titled: Markup and Styling of Category Lists. there you’ll see how to change how the categories are listed. I would think changing the “order by” to ID, then setting each category to a new ID# is the way to go.

Just to give another option…

You can always NOT use a static page and make a ‘sticky’ of the info. That way that sticky post will always show at the top no matter how many newer posts there are.

I can see ‘Consoles and Games’ just fine.

First there’s a widget that adds rss into a sidebar. You can use that and set the parameter to pull however many post you want to add.

Also,

There’s a plugin called rss2html that might do the trick. I haven’t used it myself though.

in your style.css change the size of the font down to a size you like. Change the 3.5em to a smaller number.

/***** HEADER *****/
….
.header h1 { width: 500px; padding: 0; margin:20px 0 0 30px; font-family: Georgia, Times New Roman, Sans-serif; font-size: 3.5em; line-height: 40px; text-align: left; }

Just upload the file you want to share to your server via your FTP then link to it on your site.

Just in case…. FTP=File Transfer Protocol – It’s a program, FileZilla for one, that connects to your server and allows you the ability to transfer files on and off your server. You may also have ftp capabilities through your host admin section.

As for the plugin I have no idea but I would think a quick search of the plugin directory should yield some positive results for you.

Someone else had a similar issue and was answered in their thread. They were told to add – <br clear=”left”/> – to the end of the image post in the html view of the post box. I tried it and it worked but as you can imagine it can be a royal PITA to do that every time, especially if you manage a large number of blogs.

There must be some kind of plugin or something that can automatically change the wrap function?

no problem Towardvt. Glad I could help.

Maybe set this as “resolved” so others will know there’s an answer when they do a search.

1. As soon as you add one widget to the sidebar it over rides the normal functioning of the sidebar.php and you can only see whatever widgets you put there. That’s why when you added the calendar widget the rest disappear. If you want the login links just add the ‘meta’ widget. Once added you can drag the widgets into any order you want them to be on your site.

2. Looks like you got this figure out as I can see the whole post on the main page. congrats!

3. This one is tough. You can add a little more options to the inputs by clicking the “show/hide kitchen sink” icon above the entry box. Or use the keyboard shortcut “Alt+Shift+Z”. Other than those few things the font style is determined by the CSS of the theme. In your case the style.css file inside the default theme directory. More than likely you’ll have to settle for what’s coded. You can however create an image with photoshop and use whatever font you want, then upload the image to the post. On the plus side you’ll have a unique look to each post. On the down side you won’t have text in your post because it’s a picture.

4. Sorry about this one. I’m lost on it. Other than heading on over to the respective php script and changing the code. What do you want to change exactly?

5. You can make your own header on photoshop or some other program and save it to the image directory. What I’ve done is the following:
~using my ftp go to wp-content->themes->default->images and download to my computer kubrickheader.jpg. I then change that image file and reload it back to the original directory.

…or you can start adding the widgets and change the titles to nothing or anything you want. As soon as you add one widget you’ll need to use all widgets though.

I personally find them very useful. Much easier to manipulate than toying around with the code in the php files. Especially if you’re not familiar with the code. This way in the future when you want to change something you don’t have to go fishing through code you may not understand trying to remember what you did. The widgets are even “MrMarco Proof.” lol

One thing to look for when using them. In the right side, on the top where it tells you how many widgets you’re using make sure you have chosen from the drop down menu ‘which’ sidebar you want to add them to. Usually you’ll see it say sidebar 1, sidebar 2 etc.
