I had the same problems with WP 2.1.3 and the WP-ContactForm Plugin by Ryan Duff, see this post.

Same problem with me here:

all of a sudden (although working fine before), the icons for formatting the text were no longer shown in the visual editor and I couldn’t switch between “visual” and “code”.

I deactivated all plugins and reactivated them one by one.

Result:
If WP-ContactForm (v1.4.3 by Ryan Duff) is activated, the problem appears. If it is deactivated, it’s all good.

Does anyone know a similar plugin that’ll actually work with WP 2.1.3?

OK, I started the journey into the CSS jungle and found out some interesting things which solved my problems:

1. “Pages”-list in sidebar:
   This was not so easy to find, but it has to do with a nested CSS: “#sidebar ul ul”. There I could modify the bottom margin.
2. Ordered list in comments:
   Here, I had to modify the “cmtinfo”-class. I changed the whole thing so I was not dependant on the “<ol>“. Instead, I now count the comments and print the current count #.

   This post was very helpful:

3. Comment number in reverse order (guestbook):
   Also in this case, the post already mentioned under 2 was very useful.

Since everything is done, I declare this post resolved.

Thank you very much for your help!
I now declare this post resolved.

[UPDATE]

(OK, as no one is willing to answer ***just kidding*** …)

I found out the following things:

• One can use the query_posts() tag to define which posts shall be displayed (e.g. just a special category or page).
• PHP-Code will not work in posts (see “What Pages are Not”). Instead, one can use several plugins like RunPHP or Exec-PHP.

I’ll see if that works for my problem.

So I declare this post “resolved”. Anyone still interested can contact me via my website (see member profile).

[UPDATE]

(Sorry, I would have liked to edit the last post instead of posting a new one, but it seems not possible…)

So, I see that “The Loop” is triggered by the “have_posts()”-function – but how does this function detect which page I am on?

For a better understanding:

• When the main index template is used (main weblog page), only posts of my actual weblog are displayed (as it should be).
• On my “/bookmarks” and any other page, I use an altered page template (that’s what I guess… but I think I just copied the main template). I can write a post with the wordpress editor, too (with “edit page”) – and only THAT single post is displayed (as it should be, because it is a page, somehow like a ‘big’ post, and not a new weblog entry).
• “The Loop” is used in that altered template, too, and it is also triggered with the “have_posts()”-function… but how does that function know that it is supposed to show only the “page post” and not the whole weblog posts (and vice versa for the main weblog)?

I hope I am not bothering anybody with these many posts, but it is really important for me. Thanks ??

[UPDATE]

Found a post here but I am not quite sure if it helps me for I am a php-newbie…

My problem is how to include everything in “The Loop”, for example the category, the number of posts to show etc…
