You can position the #page div seperately for IE and all other browsers.

/* For FF/Opera/etc */
body > #page
{
}

/* For IE */
#page
{
}

This will allow you to fix IE stupidity while not altering the design on other browsers.

Honestly it probably would be if they used vBulletin or another heavy duty forum with all the bells and whistles. But I think they’re using these forums because the people behind WordPress also built the forums.

Easiest way to do this would be to build the site using a generic XHTML base, then dynamically use a CSS file based on the domain the user is viewing. You should be able to do this fairly easily with a few PHP commands. I’d try parse_url() : https://us2.php.net/manual/en/function.parse-url.php

Honestly it depends on what you’re looking to do. If it’s just a simple web site with a few static pages, then WordPress will get the job done. If not, I’d take a look at Joomla. If you are more technically skilled, I’d probably go with Drupal. Drupal is probably the most flexible with what it can do, but that flexibility comes at a cost of complexity.

You can use pages and child pages to set this up (assuming I’m reading it right). For your page navigation you can use this to only display the first set of parent pages:

<?php wp_list_pages(‘title_li=&depth=1’ ); ?>

Then in your page template, you can list child pages for that page like so:

<?php if ($subpages = wp_list_pages(‘title_li=&depth=1&echo=0&child_of=’.$post->ID)) : ?>
<h1>Subpages</h1>

<?php echo $subpages; ?>

<?php endif; ?>

As the above poster said, go into your user profile and turn off the fancy editor (option at the bottom of the profile, it’s a checkbox).

Try both padding and margin 0, then specify the width.

<?php get_sidebar(); ?>

The exclamation point means “not”. Basically what if (!is_search()) is saying is: if NOT is_search, then do this. So in other words, only show the calendar if the page is not a search result.

<?php if (!is_search()) { get_calendar(); } ?>

Hmm.. I’m actually quite surprised to not find a function that gives you an array of category objects based on what you specify. I guess I’ll have to make a function based on wp_list_cats() and just return the category array.

I believe the WP filters are whats doing it. You should be able to disable any filter, it’s just a question of finding which one is removing the extra break lines.

If I had to guess, it’d be wpautop. So to disable it, throw this inside your template’s funtions.php:

remove_filter(“the_content”, “wpautop”);

wpautop can be found in functions-formatting.php, line 57. For other filters that WP uses, take a look in default-filters.php and kses.php line 523. All filter functions (with the exception of kses) can be found in functions-formatting.php.

Hope this helps.

EDIT: Oh, and don’t use the rich text editor. It does more filtering which I don’t believe you can disable without hacking WP core code. Maybe I’m wrong, but the rich text editor seems to have the following filter, and I don’t see a way to disable it:

function wp_richedit_pre($text);

functions-formatting.php, line 1006.

Doing some further research, I believe you can use a typical category.php (for your Category Template), then at the top (before your WordPress loop), use the WP_Query object to specify a new order. I haven’t tested, but I believe you would do it like so:

$wp_query->set(“order”, “ASC”);
