When I switch my permalink structure from /%postname%/ to /%category%/%postname%/, my 404 page works regardless of how many fake sub-sub-subfolders I test. It also works when I use simply /%post_id%/ ... Just never when I use /%postname%/ on its own. Very strange. Here's to hoping someone responds. sallymcdonald on "WordPress 404.php ...

When I visit a fake subfolder such as: <a href="http://www.example.com/wordpress/abc/" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/wordpress/abc/</a> It works perfectly. When I visit a fake sub-subfolder such as: <a href="http://www.example.com/wordpress/abc/abc/" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/wordpress/abc/abc/</a> It still works perfectly! But if I visit a fake sub-sub-subfolder, (Or anything higher than a sub-sub-sub,) Such as: <a href="http://www.example.com/abc/abc/abc/" rel="nofollow">http://www.example.com/abc/abc/abc/</a> It only works halfway. My '404 Error' image shows up, but the accompanying text, 'Sorry, that page wasn't found.', doesn't show up at all, as if the text was never there. Everything else works perfectly, the header, the sidebar, the footer ... Everything except the text. I know this isn't normal behaviour, so how do I go about fixing it? Here is my 404.php's code: <pre><code><?php get_header(); ?> <div id="container"> <div class="imagetitle"> <img src="http://www.example.com/wordpress/404error.gif" alt="404 Error" title="404 Error" /></div> <?php if(have_posts()) : ?><?php while(have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <?php endwhile; ?> <?php else : ?> <div class="post"> <h3>Sorry, that page wasn't found.</h3> </div> <?php endif; ?> </div> <?php get_sidebar(); ?> <?php get_footer(); ?> </div> </body> </html></code></pre> Jai on "Bob v.3 Tabs in Internet Explorer" http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/topic/bob-v3-tabs-in-internet-explorer#post-681 Tue, 19 Aug 2008 19:24:26 +0000 Jai 681@http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/ Try deactivating all your plugins and check again.

I love the Olive Green theme (many thanks) but would like the text to be wider on the screen. I tried changing the width in '#box { background:#fff; border:8px solid #fff; width:500px; table-layout:fixed; margin:0 auto; padding:0; }' but that just pushed everything to the right. Any way to keep the fixed width aspect but give the text more room? (I also tried changing '#wrap { width:500px; margin:20px auto; padding:0; }' with no success either.) Many thanks!

Images are not showing up in the posts, and any modification to the text (color, bold, etc) is not showing up. No "enter" or linebreaks are showing up either. They look fine in the wordpress editor when Im writing the post, though. Any idea why this is happening? I'm going crazy trying to figure it out. I haven't modified the theme at all.

The older Entries works just fine when surfing a category. Also if you search and hit older entries it brings you back to page2 instead of continuing the search. Anyway to remove the excerpts? I commented them out and it worked fine in Firefox but IE didn't like it at all. gorky5 on "Questions about Rhea WP theme" http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/topic/questions-about-rhea-wp-theme#post-297 Wed, 12 Mar 2008 13:50:56 +0000 gorky5 297@http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/ Great - thanks for your quick reply.

To stop the timestamp to appear, just open index.php and remove everything from ....to.... 2. For random header images, you will have to modify a lot of code which I cannot tell you here. But if you have knowledge of PHP, you can use the image names in an array and then use random function of PHP to call them randomly. 3. To make this change, open the style.css file and try to change the float alignments for the sidebars and see how it goes. gorky5 on "Questions about Rhea WP theme" http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/topic/questions-about-rhea-wp-theme#post-289 Mon, 10 Mar 2008 15:04:42 +0000 gorky5 289@http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/ Hi Jai. Thanks for a very informative site with some really smart-looking themes. I'm developing a site on localhost using the Rhea theme, which I *love*. However, I've hit a few issues which I've been unable to fix. I hope you can help, and don't mind me asking! 1. I'm trying to stop the timestamp from showing on blog entries. The relevant code seems to be: <code></code><code><abbr title="<?php the_time('Y-m-d\TH:i:sO'); ?>"><?php unset($previousday); printf(__('%1$s – %2$s'), the_date('', '', '', false), get_the_time()) ?></abbr> - <?php if(function_exists('the_views')) { the_views(); } ?></code> I've tried cutting out parts of this code, but I'm by no means a php expert! When I try either the date still shows or the page breaks. Can you let me know what I need to do? 2. I'd like to have a rotating header image on my site. I've been using the example given by Matt Mullenweg at <a href="http://ma.tt/scripts/randomimage/." rel="nofollow">http://ma.tt/scripts/randomimage/.</a> I can get it working properly on the 938x180 header.gif, but the Rhea theme includes the separate wrapper_top.gif. Is there a way of combining these two image files into one, so they rotate together and show a complete image? 3. The final thing is to do with accessibility and SEO-friendliness. Is there a way to have the three columns appear in this order in the source: <entry> <lsidebar> <rsidebar>? At the moment <entry> appears quite far down the page in the code, which isn't terribly Google-friendly (and bad for visually impaired users with screen-reading software). Am I right in thinking this is a matter of changing page.php, single.php and index.php to move <div id="lsidebar"> below <div class="entry">, and how should I change the css file to float the columns and keep the site displaying correctly? I suspect 2 and 3 aren't terribly easily solved, but if you can make any suggestions I'd really appreciate it. As I said, I think the Rhea theme looks fantastic and would love to use it (and gladly donate for your time).

Thanks for taking the time not only to build it but also to support it. I've been reading through the forum and have been very impressed with the time you spend helping people use your theme. I'd like to revert the posts page back to the normal wordpress post view (one above the next). You know what I mean? So all posts look like the first post, instead of being in the little boxes.

However, when I try to upload the All In One SEO Plugin and other plugins it won't show at all in my admin plugin. While FTP it does come up sitting on the server but then when I navigate to the admin section trying to activate, there is nothing??? I do run the latest WP version and wonder whether this could be the culprit. Also, where to I input the ad code underneath the post section? In the world of things I can't find the place where it is located.

Once you got this you can upload any theme via FTP and change in the admin section. If you need help let me know, I offer a blog consulting service. aestival on "new at this" http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/topic/new-at-this#post-196 Mon, 14 Jan 2008 00:00:01 +0000 aestival 196@http://www.blogohblog.com/forums/ You can't upload themes to a wordpress.com blog.
