Problem with wordpress
I just upgraded wordpress, and it worked well. But when I added first post my sidebar.php went bellow the page. I didn't touch anything on index.php, it just went down. Tried to just update the sidebar.php and index.php, but no good. It's the same when I change the theme...Can someone help me how to get it back ?

I had this problem on a site onetime and it was a consequence of the theme not reading the default alignment code for images in the wordpress image manager. I overrode that with the text alignment button in TinyMCE to align images. When I updated Wordpress, the sidebar dropped to the bottom. When I overrode it by using a <div align""> coding to center my pics, the sidebar returned. Be aware that using <div> tags in your TinyMCE editor will be overwritten by WP if you switch back to the visual editor and each time you go back to edit the post. Without seeing the coding on your theme, however, it is difficult to tell the specific thing that is causing this. As an experiment, I would suggest removing all alignment codes used on your images in your posts on the front page and see if that solves the problem. Your images will be aligned left, but your sidebar may return. If you can live with that, you can offset the images using the <ul> tags in the TinyMCE editor. Additionally, you can then experiment with alignment using <div> tags to recenter your images. Just publish/update the post while still in HTML mode and then do not go back to visual mode. Also note that using the text alignment function to center images in the TinyMCE editor will play games with theme coding on many older themes - and 2.5+ optimized themes on WP 2.5+. If you are using the text alignment code to center images, it will cause many problems in newer versions of wordpress because of the implementation of the media placement elements in 2.5 and above and shortcodes. The solution to that is to eliminate all TinyMCE coding from around your images or delete them and reupload them using the image placement capablilities of wordpress and see if that works. All of the above experiments assume you are not comfortable with css and php coding. If you are, you can probably find the cause in your theme templates - likely function.php, page.php,index.php,home.php, post.php or your stylesheet. I solved this once on an older theme, but, not being a php expert, it took me quite a few iterations to solve, and I have long forgotten the details of that little excursion. Finally, you could experiment with different themes. Just be aware that they will each treat your current image alignment method differently. If the theme is optimized for 2.7, or at least 2.5 or above, they should work with the default image placement method in the wordpress image management interface as image centering was always a pesky thing prior to 2.5. A little confusing but I hope that it helps. Last edited by whitey; 2009-03-14 at 01:39 PM.. |

I tried with differen themes, found some made for wp 2.7, and they are working but I'm missing some things in the sidebar.
So I tried to remove those <div> tags and when I movev them from the now obvious post is all worked. But with the post above everything is fine, without div tags. So I made another new post, didn't entered any div tags and the image is centered. So only one post will have that image go left, but it's fine, as long as new posts work fine. Thank you very much man, your post helped me a lot! |

I've tried to resist ... but can't help but observe how often "problem with WP" shows up in thread titles! I started with WP back with v1.5, and hung with it through 2.3.3 but I just can't take them anymore. Walrus has broken WP every whcih way and thrice on Sundays, and even he has gotten fed up with the stupid bloat in it now.
I'm beginning to think a better thread title to see is: "What are the alternatives to WP?" I've heard B2Evo, Serendipity, Nucleus, and a couple others whose names escape me right now.

http://justintadlock.com/archives/20...rdpress-plugin Justin is a good guy and good coder so the plugin works great. One caveat though, if you had custom text or links in some of your widgets, you will have to redo them. At least, however, you can get the functionality back with this widget. To extend the functionality of your widgets (for example using your links widget on more than one sidebar), try this plugin... http://justintadlock.com/archives/20...rdpress-plugin Wish you the best; sounded like a bit of work. |

It shows alot of promise because the programming is object based and, therefore, should run leaner. The problem with Habari is that it is new. As a consequence, theme, plugin, and functioonality support is not anywhere near what Wordpress and Drupal is. For a pornblog, however, much of that is uneeded because most pornblogs are not really Web 2.0 pubs. And, enabling Web 2.0 functions as well as the attempt to make Wordpress a simple CMS tool (talk about bloated, try Joomla) is what makes Wordpress heavy. Habari may be a very good solution for most porn blogs. I am putting it on a site and may develop a minimalistic theme for it just to see where it goes. More Habari project information can be found at the following links.. http://www.nbrightside.com/habari/ http://www.wp-fun.co.uk/tag/habari/ One of the motivations for the Habari project, btw, was the GPU 2 liscense versus the commons or GPU 3, which has numerous implications for its open source development - mostly good, imo. |

whitey, I have seriously thought about going back to flat files for what I do (I blog only when I have something to say LOL) but if you can translate that Habari stuff into "idiot-ese" for me, particularly the themes and plugins bits, it sounds like it may be something like what I am looking for. (Ask Walrus, I am the Original Script Idiot and no script is idiotproof until it is Ana-proof)

Ahh...and the values of static pages are being lost, but they are most valuable. I will keep this thread in mind and get back to you when I play with it a bit more. If easy to use, I will let you know. |

Try textpattern - but just take the css out of the database and turn off visitor logs...

Not that it solves 100% of the issues, but:
http://recaptcha.net/resources.html does have plugins for a number of platforms and has a pretty simple to use API.

As far as not liking it - I think really it's a matter of just getting used to it and learning all the arbitrary rules. Spend some time on their forum, and research it, and you will be rewarded. Wordpress is not nearly as intuitive as HTML or CSS code is and it nearly ran me batshit at first. But once you learn it you'll be amazed at the stuff you can do with it. Just my two cents  |

booboo ... I have learned it ... starting with v1.5! It was a much better program then. Now it's buggy, jacked up, riddled with "security issues" and needs constant upgrading ... and they seem to change up the interface with damn near every so-called upgrade.

It seems good to me, a LOT easier than coding things myself, but then I am a relative newcomer and don't know how it was before. I do hate the change in interface starting with 2.7. As far as upgrading I use fantastico, so that is pretty easy. |

Quick Review of Habari: First off, my overall evaluation is that it is a fast, simple platform for publishing a blog. I think one would have to tweak it, as they do with Wordpress, to do a static site or a static site with a bit of dynamic content. It runs fast, uses few resources, has an intuitive interface and your page loads quickly (when I have my site ready, I will publish the url here). That said, there are some issues to be aware of (are there not always issues with software and scripts). I would say this platform is about 95% ready for the adult blog market, out of the box so to speak. The overall issue is that this is a platform written by true coders. As such, it is elegant and runs fast AND the docs are written for coders - meaning it takes some time to decipher the docs for a regular person. Once decipered, however, it is easy to install and run with the following warnings: 1. You need object oriented php modules installed in your server - .pdo and iconv. I run my own servers and they are configured as such, but most hosts will have to load these specifically at your request. 2. The install is easier if you have shell access. 3. As mentioned, the docs are a bit coderesse. As such, it takes time to figure out how to do something. Once figured out, it is always elegant, logical, easy and fast to use, but figuring it out is the issue. Right now, I am trying to figure out the image manager and placement editor. 4. Some of the plugins are extremely version sensitive. Trial and error solves this. 5. Some of the plugins that I want to use do not completely interface with the product - easy to solve but takes some time. I use tinyMce and it works when writing but not editing due to a path issue. 6. There are limited themes - about 25. That is changing rapidly. 7. As it currently stands, there is no allowance for categories, only tags. Summary: I love how it works for a simple blog and the plugins to make it adult and SEO friendly are there (with a few bugs that are mostly path/theme related). That said, the documentation needs to be made clear and simple for the average blogger and some of the plugins need to be improved so the path issues disappear. I am going to plow through all of my issues and put a simple install and publishing doc on one of my sites, but it will take a few days. After I am able to do that, it will be a nice, clean, fast running, stable, customizable alternative to WP. I would advise, however, the technically uncomfortable to not venture there quite yet (at least until someone, me maybe, publishes some clean docs). On Textpattern: I uploaded textpattern to do a static site. I will say this, once configured and the site laid out, it will be a very clean and easy publishing device for both blogs and static pages. The problem is, setting up the initial theme or customizing it takes mucho time. The buzz and support for the project also seems to have died, although they recently released an update. I never made it very far with it because I concluded that it did not meet my immediate needs which were: 1. A simple, fast running alternative to WP for straightforward blogs. 2. A simple static site publisher for small, SEO driven sites on the 1000 plus inactive domains I have. I will try it to develop a unique content static site one day as I liked the logic behind the platform, but that is another project for a another time. Hope this helps. I do not think it helps you right now. I am,however, going forward with Habari and intend to figure out the bugs I am encountering, submit some fixes to the project, and publish a layman's guide. That is on the top of my list right now (I have some mainstream web publishing sites that will benefit traffic wise from doing this), but it will take some time, particularly at tax time here in the US. |
