Thanks. It’s a fairly involved process. Does anyone know of a plugin that can do this more easily?

Again, I want to move the WordPress site from public_html/programming to /programming, which ends up being up one directory. Also, I need to change the URL from mathfor.us/programming to programmingfor.us.

Thanks.

Thanks. That’s what I needed to know. Now I can start installing 25 WordPress sites.

Thanks.

Would I be able to add one student to one multi-site?

Would each student have the same control over the site like they would if I installed a regular WordPress site for them? Like would they be able to change the theme for themselves or would they have to ask me to change it? Can they install their own plugins without having to ask me to do anything? I just want them to have total control.

https://www.managepropertiesonline.net is decent. I would make is so that all of the menu items fit on one line. Weekly Newsletter is all by itself underneath the other items. The What’s New widget might not be needed because you are already showing the most recent posts right below it. Though it might be a nice, quick way for others to see if there’s been any changes. Looking down the road you should make categories for your posts, instead of having them be General. Which also means you should add a widget for showing all of the categories. And possibly even an archives widget. I’m not a big fan of them archives, so just having categories might be enough. Unless, your posts are time-sensitive, then archives might be of value.

What would I need to have in my code in order to connect to the wordpress database? I would like to make a static page with header and footer and my address book code. What code would I need? Thanks.

I’ve looked at the functions section of wordpress but I didn’t find anything. Anyone have an idea? Thanks

Yes, in order to use widgets you do need to use automattic’s sidebar widget plugin. I’m not sure about putting the code directly into the sidebar.php. It might work. Try it out and find out what happens. Is there a lot of code?

This page should help you because other people have had problems also:

From Clicky’s site:

To use Clicky with a WordPress blog, you have to put the Clicky code into a text widget in the sidebar. More information on managing your blog and widgets is available on the wordpress.com web site. You can manage your widgets from the following area of your admin control panel: Presentation ? Sidebar Widgets

From reading Clicky’s site, it looks like you need to use a “Text” widget. So you go to your “Sidebar Widget” link under the “Presentation” link. Then you drag a “Text” widget to the “Sidebar”. Then you click the little blue box in the right side of the “Text” widget. Clicky’s site then says to paste the code they gave you inside the “Text” widget. That should be it. Hope this helps

Ya, I did that but they did not get back to me. I’m going to email again.
For now though, does anyone have an idea?

Thanks.

I edited the edit-form-advanced.php file in the wp-admin folder. I then went to line 235 where this is written: <div class=”dbx-box-wrapper”>. I deleted that line, yes include that line, and I deleted down to line 282, yes include line 282, where this is written: </div>. So delete lines 235-282.

Then in the end you will have these two pieces of code next to one another:
<div id=”advancedstuff” class=”dbx-group” >
<?php do_action(‘dbx_post_advanced’); ?>

I used Dreamweaver to do the editing because I could undo the deletions if I had any problems. Make sure your editing program has an undo feature. And make sure it supports many undos in a row.

Hope this helps, 4 months later.

I emailed Otto from here and he got back to me. He informed me that I didn’t need a sidebar.php because the sidebar info was in the header.php. So I needed to change the header.php. Here is what he had me change: (the functions.php was already ok)

Next, I see that there’s no sidebar.php file. Looking around, I find
the sidebar actually in header.php for some odd reason. Weird, but it
doesn’t matter. We’ll just edit the sidebar there. You’ll open
header.php and do the following:

Change this code:
<!– S T A R T N A V B A R –>
<div id=”right”>
<div id=”righttop”></div>
<div id=”rightcontent”>

<!– START SEARCH –>

Into this:

<!– S T A R T N A V B A R –>
<div id=”right”>
<div id=”righttop”></div>
<div id=”rightcontent”>

<?php if ( !function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’)
|| !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
<!– START SEARCH –>

Then find this code:
<!– END META –>

And change it to this:
<!– END META –>
<?php endif; ?>

That didn’t work either. There does need to be a </div> on the end of that, right? Is there another function or code somewhere that I’m missing? I was told this should be fairly simple, relatively that is. Any other suggestions? By the way, thanks for the help so far.

I have this code in my sidebar.php file:

<div id=”sidebar”>
<?php if ( !function_exists(‘dynamic_sidebar’)
|| !dynamic_sidebar() ) : ?>
<div class=”title”>About</div>
<p>This is my blog.</p>
<div class=”title”>Links</div>

<?php endif; ?>
</div>

I have this code in my functions.php:

<?php
if ( function_exists(‘register_sidebar’) )
register_sidebar();
?>

What is meant by “Learn about the tool you are using?” Isn’t that what he is doing by asking questions here?
And this would be a great plugin to have. It would make my page design much easier for my users. Hopefully, someone will come up with this. It’s been asked for a few times.
