wow. i don’t know how i missed that.

of course, it’s very confusing but i’m sorting it out. as i go along, i’m drafting a contribution to codex for this.

thanks for pointing out the obvious!

i see you have this profile:

https://plainculture.com/archives/author/jon/

did you find it had to do with the hyphens in the username in the end? or how was this resolved?

thanks!

did anything ever come of this search for listing list of authors, an author pages and list of their posts?

i’m trying to figure out a way to do it without making pages with special templates for each author.

thank you! that’s working most splendidly!

I use Firefox on Mac OS X; your white page is centered with blue down sides.

Do you mean you want the posts ‘center’ and the side bar to the right?

If I had noticed your page not centered, then I would have recommended adding another div wrapping around all your content with <div align="center"> just after the body tag in the header.php and </div> just before the close of the body tag in the footer.php of your theme.

I have this same problem.

And if you can’t wait til 1.5.1, you can use
https://www.ioerror.us/2005/02/27/wordpress-1-5-ellington/

It’s an unofficial version of wordpress by ioerror which fixes this problem. I’m going for it. ??

does this allow one to include say, the three latest posts in a specific category within a template?

if so, can you give an example?

thanks!

noted, thank you. i assume because you mean it will include an img tag, instead of excerpted text. this really isn’t a perfect solution then. how irrigating. but better than the other options.

wow that would be much easier. thank you, Kafkaesqui.

oi vay.

i actually have bruises from bashing my head against the wall trying to get WP to play nice. mainly it’s the aggravation of not knowing how to find answers to simple questions- with useful demonstrative exaamples.

i’m flipping putting this in the codex.

that will fix everything, where the excerpt would be just an <img src= tag

this is the plug-in, btw:

https://dev.wp-plugins.org/file/disable-wpautop/trunk/disable-wpautop.php

as you say above, remove the line:

remove_filter('the_content', 'wpautop');

next, upload this to plugins folder, then activate it in admin > plugins.

then- edit your template, and where you want to list excerpts (images) with links to posts, use this in your template:

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_excerpt(); ?></a>

ug.

<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_meta(); ?></a>

i’m trying to figure this out too. unsuccessfully, but.

one way i thought of doing it was using the ‘add custom fields’ option in the posting page- and using it to include an image. so i added custom field ‘postimage’ and pasted an <img src=… there.

then i edited the template to include this custom field using apparently the only template tag that displays this info. the_meta();

This is what I tried in my template, using this as a link to the post, instead of title and excerpt:

"><?php the_meta(); ?>

unfortunately, the derned the_meta function adds in tags: ul, li and span. so it’s quite aggravating. not sure where to go next- looking for the_meta, but it’s not in functions.php… and the other functions like get_post_meta don’t apparently display anything in templates.

any other ideas out there??

i should add that i tried a variety of things;
– deleting the .htaccess. and making it not editable by wordpress
– copying it into .htaccess
– removing all permalink settings.

no joy, no joy.

yeah. as above, i tried that- using the settings as above, and nothing would show up at all, which was surprising.

i updated my permalink structure too. still no joy. pages showing up- but not the blog under “portfolio”. i was only getting server 404 errors. entering a longer path- which should show up, with portfolio/subpage/ etc. and i got a 500 server error.

so, looking in error log files, i got this:

[Fri Mar 25 11:18:40 2005] [error]
mod_rewrite: maximum number of internal redirects reached. Assuming configuration error. Use ‘RewriteOptions MaxRedirects’ to increase the limit if neccessary.

What is wrong with the .htaccess file??
