*bump* ok, I know, it’s bad form to bump, but 3 days without a response…

Has no one any idea? Is this a result due to WP’s parser somehow? Any idea how I *can* keep text commented out that gets put in the content window? Any assistance would be GREATLY appreciated

Well, I was going to say “it doesn’t work”, but then, after about 15 minutes of fiddling, and editing functions.php, I realised that I was making changes to my *local* copy, but looking at the live site!!!

Well, it did work, thank you for a most simple solution.

Thank you! That did it, with a bit of fiddling. I couldn’t make sense of query_post, thinking it had to be before the loop, but got it working in the end.

Many thanks

p were stripped out.

ol, ul and li were stripped out.

a href was left intact.

blockquote was stripped out.

I have found the following plugin:
https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/are-paypal/

Which appears to be partly doing what I need it. The developer is working on extending functionality and it should do what I need soon. ??

hello 2notch and amitpatel, thanks for your answers. Indeed, taht particular plugin isn’t helpful ??

Anyone else?

Hello Susie,

The problem with this CSS menu is that it relies on added spans and bold tags that just aren’t delivered through wp_list_pages. I can’t see how you would be able to accomplish it using that function, unless you hack the core itself, which is rarely recommended.

Incidentally, from a semantic point of view, using repeated <b> tags that are empty just in order to assign css to it, isn’t particularly good. First, the ‘b’ tag is deprecated, unless you are aiming for html validation, instead of xhtml, then, that tag, or its more appropriate equivalent ‘strong’ should be used around text to bold it. Otherwise, you’re not using the tag for what it was meant to be used. Some people don’t care about such things, up to you ??

You may find better horizontal tabs that might be easier to implement on this site: https://css.maxdesign.com.au/listamatic/

HTH

Anyone?

drmike, sorry for the delays in coming back to you.

Yes, it was one of the first thing I did, checking on the link. The output link once copied from the source of the html page and pasted into the browser’s URL window brings up the script.

I’ve also tried setting the permissions to 777, in case, but it made no difference.

Anyone? Please?

Anyone with a flash of brilliant insight?

Obviously, writing a simple query to insert new data from one DB to the other is in order, and a DB extraction of the data could be done relatively easily on the live server.

Maybe not so easily on the local machine, but then, maybe so…

Bears thinking about some more.

epicalex, thanks for your response, but what you’re suggesting is beyond my skills, and probably overkill.

I’m going to be using WordPress both on the live site and on my laptop. On the laptop, I will run Xampp to have the “live” environment I need.

Besides, I’m on Ubuntu… Don’t think (at first glance) that their Apollo works on a *nix variant.

Reviving this thread, because I just discovered the browsehappy link in the admin interface.

I’m NOT an IE supporter, by far. I only ever use that browser to test my sites.

And while I am fully able to remove it (and keep removing it with every upgrade/update of the site), I object on principle to having that button there.

I repeat, I hate IE. But I don’t want to have that browsehappy button there by default. I think it stinks of the very same tactics used by M$.

To say I’m unhappy doesn’t even start to describe it.

So, yeah, it’s open source, if I don’t like it I don’t have to use it, or I can change it.

The thing is, it’s a matter of principle, isn’t it? This is underhanded spam, which has no place in the system. When I pick a CMS or Blog system, I don’t want to get involved in browser wars, or OS wars, or anything of the like.

My 2 cents, do with it what you want.

Thanks for the comment Styledsheet ??

Hello Sadish, here’s the link to the site:

https://diversityworks.co.nz

There’s some work to be done on it, mostly under the hood (keywords, descriptions, etc).

You’ll see my implementation of your suggestion in, for example, the About Us section.

Cheers
