I don’t use ecto, but the short answer is that it looks like a bug in WP, which has been logged, and which you can fix with a few quick edits to your xmlrpc.php

See this forum for the quick-fix, or (at much greater length) this thread.

OK so, taking this as an example page. Look at the source of the page as rendered by your browser and you’ll see that Bilal’s first comment, on grey, has a class of “alt” while Habz’ comment is on white, and its class is “”

Assigning these classes to comments is handed in comments.php by this bit of code:

<?php
if ('alt' == $oddcomment) $oddcomment = '';
else $oddcomment = 'alt';
?>

Actually, instead of my trying to explain it all, I think you’re better off reading this tutorial on working with $oddcomment from ColdForged, which should empower you to do everything you want to with your comment display and more.

Good Luck!

Might that error message you’re getting be the problem?

Searching for “open_basedir restriction” returns 72 hits from www.ads-software.com and related which might be helpful.

What do you have in your header.php between the <title> tags?

See https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Template_Tags/wp_title for information on formatting page titles to your liking.

Looks like you’ve got it handled, yes?

Curse’d double-posting errors.

Have you looked at Denis de Bernardy’s Semilogic Theme and CMS ?

It would appear that FrameBuster 2.1 is inserting <script language="text/javascript"> where validator.w3.org would like to see <script type="text/javascript"> in order to declare it valid.

I see many June entries in your blog, some involving Diane Sawyer and circuses. Are you still experiencing the problem yourself?

That’s odd. Mine’s /** WordPress's config file **/, though it’s old, so I suppose things could’ve changed. It certainly sounds like you have an errant backslash (aka ASCII 92) somewhere in there.

chmodding wp-admin-tiger.php to 604 worked for me. a slough of the image files want to be 604 as well, lest they go unseen.

lovely. sounds very much like what I’m looking for, but to handle categories and subcategories. I’m unsure if cats have the same attributes available to them that pages do, however — have you looked into foldable cats, roblgs?

Not so much a design critique as a content one — I have a rather difficult time deciphering which content is original to your blog and which you are pulling in from elsewhere. It’s particularly confusing when content without attribution contains the first-person, making it appear, in context, that you are the author.

See, for example, your WordPress Plugins page, in which you directly copy the the text of the miniblog plugin description from nmyworld, making it seem that you are responsible for the plugin. Bit problematic, since the author’s CC License requires attribution, and you are definitely repurposing content.

Or here, where you duplicate a recent story from DigiTimes without attribution. Again, the reader is left to assume that you are the author, and is denied meta information about the actual author, which goes to credibility (DigiTimes has produced a number of erroneous tech-rumors in the past; knowing that they are the source is key, in this case, to deciding how much credence to give the story).

I’m not a journalist, so I can’t advise you on the standard practices which should be followed. I am a consumer of the written word, however, and would expect to see any borrowed copy appear in quotes, or in a blockquote, or merely preceded by some formula to the effect of “From today’s DigiTimes: ” or “nmyworld says:” This eliminates confusion, makes it clear that your motives are not suspect, and allows your readers to further investigate the source(s) of the article on their own, if they wish to do so.

Afraid that’s the best I’m going to do for you. For what it’s worth, your challenge isn’t php — what I’ve outlined in the post above should take care of your php needs — it’s going to be working up the CSS to lay things out the way you want ’em.

Yep, just tried it out and it works like a charm.

Insert <?php query_posts('category_name=cat1&showposts=5'); ?> just above where your index calls <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>. Duplicate this whole block, down to <?php endwhile; ?> for the second category.

you’ll want to wrap each one with its own div to facilitate CSSing it into columns.
