skulled

A lot of posts have been made about comments stored prior to the upgrade not showing up etc ..

I am not entirely sure if its a bug in the code, and if a patch has been submitted yet.

I suggest that you search the forums for comment issues with 2.0 (if the search works, because its giving me a page not found right now :)), or perhaps wait a bit more ..

Open your header.php file inside the theme directory.

You will see something like this:


<div id="masthead"> <!--div masthead starts-->
<h1 id="header"><a href="<?php ... ?>"><?php ... ?></a></h1>
<div class="slogan"></div>
</div> <!--div masthead ends-->


You should be able to safely change it to this and that should solve the problem:


<div id="masthead"> <!--div masthead starts-->
<!--<h1 id="header"><a href="<?php ... ?>"><?php ... ?></a></h1>-->
<div class="slogan"></div>
</div> <!--div masthead ends-->


You are just basically commenting out the <h1> part.

What theme are you using, the original one before you modified it?

Glad to be of help ??

This is what seems to be the problem.

Your source shows this:

<b>Fatal error</b>: Call to undefined function: jal_get_shoutbox() in <b>/home/theurban/public_html/wp-content/themes/letterhead/sidebar.php</b> on line <b>39</b><br />

Were you using some plugin that used that function jal_get_shoutbox() ?

What did you change in the theme?

It seems that you forgot to put in the comments template tag on your single.php page, from the looks of it.

Please check your single.php file, and compare it to the “default” theme single.php file, you should see the different and a piece of code along these lines <?php comments_template(); ?>

Hope that helps.

Can you please provide the link to your blog?

Pagination and Archives are two different things.

You already have “archives” by default, if you see in your sidebar, you have a section called “Monthly”. In a few days, you will January 2006 appear automatically there in addition to the currently displayed December 2005.

Pagination is done automatically, you do not have to do anything. Once you have more than 10 posts, depending on your theme, you will see a “Previous Entries” link at the bottom of the page.

Hope that helps.

Are you using permalinks on your blog? And if yes, how did you set them up?

I cannot understand specifically what you need.

Perhaps you can give a bit more detail as to what you are looking for ..

To control how long your blog pages are, you need to configure your options from the admin.

Under the “Options” tab, go to the “Reading” sub-tab, and in there, you will see a setting called “Blog Pages”. This is by default set to showing 10 posts per page, i believe.

So if you want your page length to be shorter, then decrease the number accordingly.

you cannot call the index file directly like that from a theme directory.

The main index.php file in your wordpress installation directly has additional requirements which take care of require and/or include files that are needed for wordpress to run.

So if you specifically want to call a theme index.php file, then you will have to include those calls as well.

Out of curiosity, why do you want to call the theme index file directly like that?

That is not so good .. ??

In that case I am afraid I don’t see any other methods of doing what you want, with builtin WP functions ..

Maybe someone else can clarify this, but I think custom code is the only way you are going to achieve what you want.

How are you with PHP?

If you are familiar and comfortable with programming in PHP, what you could do is use the list_cats function with recurse setting set to TRUE which would return the list, and then use to PHP to remove all categories that you do not need, and display the rest

Cannot think of a more ‘elegant’ way right now .. let me know if that works, if it doesn’t I can try see if something else is possible.
