thanks – yeah, I’ve been doing it via multiple loops / categories for a few years – I think the tags would be easier for a noob user. Also using categories confuses the use of categories as a concept, whereas using tags keeps the <placement on the page>, and the <categorization of posts within the site> separate from a usability standpoint. (we’re building wp-cms for clients)

I also find moving the blogs using the categories can sometimes be a pain.

I just can’t find any documentation on WP Codex about using tags in the loops, perhaps I’m missing something?

Thanks

I’m having this problem as well – just get the error

An error occurred in the upload. Please try again later.
not sure why trying later would work – strange thing to add to a error message

This is a development blog, so there’s NO PLUGINS ACTIVATED, just a raw WP install

I’ve got index’s turned off in the root .htaccess and in the wp directory this is my .htaccess

AuthType Basic
AuthName “*****”
AuthUserFile “/****/passwd”
require valid-user
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

<IfModule mod_security.c>
<Files async-upload.php>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</Files>
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

hope this get’s fixed soon.

actually I used the plug-in “fGallery” tho I still need to specify the pages ->gallery relationship but in general works quite well!

it worked well, but now when you have top category <dogs> & select to see all the dog posts, the sidebar now reads:

<brown dogs>
<black dogs>
<golden dogs>

if you then click on <black dogs> the proper post shows up but now the sub cats area reads “no categories”.

What I’d love is a way of having the category label and navigation stay in the sidebar reading as:

<DOGS>
<brown dogs>
<black dogs>
<golden dogs>

not sure if that can be done or not.

any help would be greatly appreciated.

thanks

moved the them onto another wp installation, the children=0 thing worked fine. Guess it’s something in my installation.

hmm.. I wonder if it’s a bug?

ah – sorry I thought it might need to go in the functions.php or something as I haven’t come across code like that yet.

works quite well!

thanks – pretty quite over there.

Also the wp_list_cats is placed in the header.php file – not sure if that makes a difference.

hmmmm… odd, it won’t seem to work on my installation – I’m using WPmU would that be the reason?

so does that mean WP should be able to do it without extra code?

I would also like to find an answer to this – actually a bit surprised its so hard – seems like a pretty common need.

Hi
Thanks! That did the job perfectly. I had the home-page plug-in activated so at first it didn’t work. I removed it and now it works exactly as I want.

After reading the documentation on the Loop, I made a home.php file and took the category list off the side bar and by using the inline display selector, I’ve turned that into the Site Navigation on the left and did the same with the <Pages> list on the right of the header.

I just have it set so the user can select which articles they want on the front page, and which one’s they only want to appear only on the Category pages.

A nice simple, easy to learn CMS, suitable for many web sites!

thanks again

Hey
Thanks for the info (as well as the killer plug-ins). I’ll give this a try and let you all know how it goes.
