Well, okay, i finally found the default template tag for getting recent entries:

<?php wp_get_archives('title_li=&type=postbypost&limit=5'); ?>

But that doesn’t allow to sort recent entries by category. Can’t i get something like the_category() with only posttitles displaying in the sidebar?

My theme is not widget-ready and i don’t need it to be, since i want to realize multi-language navigation with different sidebars for every category. For that reason i want to list the X latest entries’ titles from category Y in my sidebar. How do i manage this? I could not find a propriate function in the template tag catalogue.

Okay, ?hem, i want to do the same, but don’t know, how to do it. The last time i’ve tried i messed up my blog completely, couldn’t login anymore and had to re-install everything. So is there a quick “how to” for noobs?

Encrypt, there is a plugin in the extend section. I forgot the name, just search for it.

Okay, so it’s the integrated search that sucks. Thanks for the info.

Okay, i don’t understand anything of the response above, because i’m not into php (only html and css). But i need something very similar, a simple link on one of my pages, that takes the reader to a random specific page. I have a lot of pages on my site, but it’s only about 32, that i want to be chosen randomly with this link. What do i have to do?

Maybe this plugin helps me:

But i’m not sure, because it’s not well explained, what it does and it seems nobody uses it.

Okay, i’ve got a clue that wp version 2.1.3 and subscribe2 version 2.4.4 do not fit together, so i’ve re-installed version 2.3.8. I can see names on categories now, but can fit the subscription-form into my wp-pages text-indent no more, so it looks a bit creepy now.

What i still cannot do, is, unsubscribe my registred users and they cannot do it by themselves, too. I really don’t need all of my blog members to receive e-mail-notification, since most of them use feedreaders. Registred users need to be able to unsubcribe like everybody else. Please, how can it be done?

I have the problem, you just described. I can see the categories section (manage), but don’t have names for categories. And i cannot unselect the excluded categories (options), which have no name either. They’re selected by default, which means, no user will get e-mail notification to any of my categories. So which version of subscribe2 do i have to work with, when i’m using wp version 2.1.3? Or what do i have to do?

The file may be named almost anything with a .php extension (see reserved Theme filenames for filenames you should not use; these are special file names WordPress reserves for specific purposes).

At least I have an idea, what to do now. But does this quote from the Codex mean, that i can’t name my newly created template file (which i want to use for my author Page) author.php, because this is a reserved name? My theme doesn’t have any author.php yet, so it shouldn’t be a problem to create one. Am I right?

I did not understand, what you meant in: “Those files aren’t populated any longer by the user’s profile.” My English is so bad. I know continents or cities can be populated by people. But files by user’s profiles? Can’t imagine that, sorry.

Okay, let’s suppose i work out such an author.php template that fits into my theme, how do i refer to it from my already existing page? do i need to get header, sidebars, footer in it too, if i refer from the page?

and second question is: i can use variables like user_icq and user_msn in my author template, but i don’t even have form fields for it in my user profile in the admin panel. how do i get those?

interesting stuff, so if i use kaf’s plugin, do i have to use his author template, too? or can i take his author template, make some changes to fit it to my themes look and then combinde it with a page just like done in codex archive index with archives.php? or can’t this be done without his plugin?

well, i thought the order might matter and wanted to ensure myself. so it doesn’t and i can go on. thanks

Sorry for pushing my problem up, but i’d be very grateful for some tips, before i shoot my whole blog by doing a stupid thing.

So i’ve some main-pages in my horizontal navigation bar and a list of subpages showing in the sidebar, if a user klicks on a main-page. I’ve realized it with a widget-ready theme, the widgets plugin and the sub pages widget plugin. This solves just one of your problems, but maybe it’s a start-up.
