The same thing happened to me as happened to Marc – option 3. I’ve reverted back to the original settings file, and am relying on the .htaccess mod (option 2).

Thanks. With a few alterations, that did the trick very nicely.

I think you will need to name your image as kubrickheader.jpg, because that name is the one specified in the standard header. It would also be a good idea to retain the exact 740 width if possible, otherwise there will be a 1 pixel gap at the side.

You’re talking about the main post column, not the whole design. In style.css look for .narrowcolumn and reset its width from 450px to a little more, and perhaps reduce the left margin also. This way you will be able to avoid widening the whole default design and the background images. The default template design is set to display inside an 800 pixels wide window without a horizontal scrollbar.

Some excellent replies. I’ve been using WordPress for about five weeks – my first experience of a CMS – and I think it’s superb. I love it. And it’s one of the best-supported and best-documented I’ve seen. My advice is to spend time reading up in the Codex – not just skim reading but reading carefully.

Not everyone can do this, I know, but having a test site set up on another domain is a very useful way to test changes before implementing them on the real site.

This new to me. Can anyone help?

Your page does not validate. Make sure your WordPress pages always validate or you will get into difficulty. Incidentally, why didn’t you put the contact form and the text box inside the content section, where is really should be? The way you have it, it follows your sidebar code.

I’m not sure, but your stylesheet doesn’t validate on your homepage, whereas it does on your other pages. I would check this first, as it seems somewhere in your homepage code, there is an error of some sort.

As a matter of interest I had the same problem. Saving an edited post (not page) was taking exactly 55 seconds to confirm the edited post was actually saved. But I noticed, by having the site open in another window, that the actual post update took place whilst I was still waiting in the other window for the admin page to do its work.

I’ve now removed the ping ping-o-matic.

I’m using David B. Nagle’s Search Pages plugin. When I search, the results show excerpts for pages as well as posts. I’m using 1.5.3 standard install.

I tried that. I’ve since put * html div { height: 100%; } /* IE hack */ at the top of wp-admin.css and * html h2 { height: 1%; } /* IE hack */ above h2 (as the h2 was disappearing too). The text now displays but I would imagine there is a more accurate fix than that.

For what it’s worth (and rather late in the day), if the “thief” has used Shawn’s JavaScript by linking to it, it seems pretty clear that he – the “thief” – has only himself to blame.

Actually, it seems to work by using the page slug:

if (is_page(‘my-page-slug’)) {

Yes, but what I want to do is to know which page it is, so that I can format my navbar accordingly. For example “if (is_home())” identifies that it is the homepage, but I’m not sure how. I’m looking for something like “if (is_somepage())” – so what sets “somepage” for each of my pages?

Thanks, but what goes inside the brackets? What is the actual page-specific variable? Or is it a string?
