Forum: Hacks
In reply to: Adding Tags to Posts in BulkI was reading and trying to understand wp_set_object_terms the other day. I’m afraid I might not be smart enough to build something to do it that way. Anybody sharp enough to help me? If I knew how I would.

In reply to: Adding Tags to Posts in BulkThanks for that suggestion. Maybe I’m missing how to do it, but in looking at that solution, it appears that doing so would require that I sort through manually, I think, that I only select those posts that I want to add a tag to, then I add it. I have dozens upon dozens to do. I was hoping for maybe an sql query method or something.
Maybe I am missing something on how to use it?

In reply to: Adding Tags to Posts in BulkOkay I figured out how to do it — and then forgot — and I need to do it again. Any suggestions?

In reply to: Help creating a category archive (or child page archive)Most helpful and I thank you for your understanding that my denseness may not be genetic, but lack of familiarity with this conceptually 😉
I wondered about the effect of an update — so it will overwrite custom pages I added? I wondered if, since it is something added, it would leave it untouched while updating everything around it.
I have been using child themes with limited understanding (my favorite thus far has been thirty-ten with three columns). I learned the hard way that twenty ten updates wiped out changes 🙂 but I thought perhaps that was limited to situations where I modified the existing files and would not be affected when I added a new template.
What I want is to use this template for is maybe four parent pages that actually do not exist so that they simply list the child pages title as a link.
Can I do this with one template?
Off shoot question: how difficult to always add links at bottom of each page to all child pages of it?

In reply to: Help creating a category archive (or child page archive)I believe that I wish to use the page code above. I opened the default template in 20-10 and don’t see where I would place this query. Sorry to be dense on this one.

In reply to: Adding other files to a child theme?Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Adding other files to a child theme?Okay so I copy header file from 20-10 to my child theme … I have an image in my child theme image folder however that I can’t seem to get to …
If I use
<?php echo bloginfo ('template_directory');?>as suggested above I wind up in 20-20 image folder and not in the child theme image folder … what am I missing?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Adding Comments via SQL Statement – Not Updating Number of CommentsUPDATE
word_press_table.wp_postsSETcomment_count= ‘0’ WHEREwp_posts.ID= 2Again back ticks will disappear. Does that solve my issue?

In reply to: Adding Comments via SQL Statement – Not Updating Number of CommentsCode is not appearing in the post correctly … how to allow for the back ticks in the post?
Anyway there are multiple back ticks around each of the statements.

In reply to: Import RSS to WordPress – creator not being generatedBut if you use the wordpress import with a wordpress file it asks do you want to create a user or identify it with an existing user.
I have a large move underway with dozens of authors — to split the file isn’t the most attractive method.
We essentially need to combine the functionality of the WordPress Import function into the RSS Import function.
I can see the general how to do it — but I’m not proficient enough on this code to actually write it without some time studying the code.
I take that back — it appears I can now add fields!
First thank you for what you have put out there.
It would be helpful if you documented what does or does not work.
I am trying to add form fields and I am having no luck.
Anybody know how to get that working? Are others having the same issue?
What other options are there for business directories? I looked a while before finding this one to be honest. I like what it does on the general level.
Hope soon you are returned to the place in life where you can work on it or that others maybe take over and help you.

In reply to: Difficulty affecting just one "page" with cssForum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Difficulty affecting just one "page" with cssVery true and a good idea — not my code — I am just doing a small part of someone else’s project so I didn’t really analyze like I normally would have. I suspect that they have an error now that you mention it which probably is hanging it up before it got to my code.
