rgcoles on "Why am I not seeing my latest posts?"
July 21, 2011 at 10:59 PM
 

Hi,

I am having the same problem as methotol on another blog that I'm working on.

Here's what I've got -

this blog is a freebie blog off of wordpress.com so the url is:

ourdogtrainingsite.wordpress.com

wordpress is latest version

no plugins

Motion theme

Settings - Readings - latest posts

I have created 4 posts which show up in the sidebar under recent entries, but only the second post shows up on the actual homepage

Since I have no plugins, can't re-upload anything, not sure how to fix this problem.

Robin

P.S. I'm also having this same issue on another website that has it's own domain name:

http://www.thenauticallifestyle.com

varellano on "Why can't I save changes to my public profile or personal settings?"
July 21, 2011 at 10:40 PM
 

Hi-This is complicated, but here it goes: My username under the My Public Profile section in WordPress is displayed as "librarylists." I would like to change this. When I click on "change" I am brought to Account Details which lists my username as "varellano." Why do I have two different usernames? I would like to keep "varellano" as my username and delete library lists.

My second problem is that I cannot change any information that is displayed in the My Public Profile Section. I enter changes, hit "Update Profile" and although I get a message saying the information has been changed, the information appears exactly the same. I am using Firefox as my browser, and yes, I have tried clearing the cache/deleting cookies/restarting browser after trying to make changes. Nothing changes.

I also have a Gravatar account that is somehow linked to "librarylists" which I don't want either.

I have been struggling with this for a while and could really use some assistance.

Hello, I've just posted this question elsewhere but here it might make more sense.

My blog is about living in Manchester UK, so I want to read other blogs that are Manchester related, or by bloggers based in Manchester or the Northwest.

Is there a way to search for blogs by area? If not, if you know any blogs that fit the criteria leave me a message so I can visit. Thank you!

I'm trying to create a website for my boss – he wants one page that will be a weekly blog, but also a couple of pages like "about me." I want only the blog page to be an actual blog, but in designing the website I'm having trouble making the other pages look like normal pages. Also, there is a page entitled "Uncategorized" that I am having difficulty removing. Can anybody help me with these two issues? Any help will be very appreciated.

July 21, 2011 at 9:07 PM
 

Hello,

sports tracker is a great toll to control ones trainings. I woul dlike ot add it to my blog. There is a code sportstracker provides, but I dont see how I could use it to include it on the sidebar or as a single page for example. I tried to put it in the sidebar as a pic, because I dont see how to include it as a widget. Neither as a single side: I call it training: It looks weird: http://deichroller.wordpress.com/training/

http://www.sports-tracker.com/widgets/edit_page.html

I would appreciate any advice.

Thx,

May I ask you first to look at our blog: http://indiastreets.wordpress.com/. At the end of each article there is an "About Eric Britton, Editor" block with pic and a few lines of info on the author.

However if you go to the end of any posting on this blog - http://networkdispatches.wordpress.com/ -- there is no such block.

Thanks for telling me how I can add.

gpix on "Looking for theme with post previews"
July 21, 2011 at 8:39 PM
 

I've used the "Structure" theme in the past. Some things about it I didn't like, but one feature that I really did appreciate was the way the posts were previewed on the home page. That allowed the readers to see post titles and teasers without having to scroll forever through any long posts. I don't want to go back to "Structure," but I would like to find another theme that uses the preview function (or whatever it may be called). Can anyone point me in the right direction?

nil1950 on "Subscription mails"
July 21, 2011 at 7:06 PM
 

Hi folks,

I took a subscription on my own blog to keep an eye on what mails go out when I post. In the beginning it was just the posts that activated this tool. Some time ago this changed. Pages sent out a mail too, which is fine by me as I often link pages to posts. But together with that good news any slight organizational change that I do on my blog seems to send out a message too. And it does happen regularly that I take out some time to reorganize things... and I get the feeling that I am spamming people who were interested enough to subscribe.

My question is:
Do all subscribers get all those mails (ok, not sooo many - but still..) or is it just for me?
If they do, is there a way (I haven't found) to control when the mails go out?

wordwatchtowers on "Same blog: new URL (by mistake) - can you redirect from old URL?"
July 21, 2011 at 4:30 PM
 

Hi

I was completely stupid and mistakenly, without realising the consequences, changed the URL of my blog to what it is now (wordwatchtowers) from the old URL:

dbennison.wordpress.com

The blog is exactly the same. The result of changing the URL was catastrophic. I now get hardly any visitors - and there are pages all over Google linked to the old URL. When people click on those pages, a message comes up to say the blog is deleted. The blog is still there - exactly the same, but with the new URL I stupidly assigned to it.

My question is: Can you set up a redirect from the old URL to the new URL? I would pay for this service.

Thank you *weeping in corner*

Is it Theme Property or a bug?

I imported my blog from blogger and everything shows up on the home page. I am using the template Mystique. I want to take certain blog post I have and put them under a specific menu button page. Example: I have a menu button "events" and I want to put all the events I blogged about on that page. Can this be done? I was able to copy one blog posting but I want to copy other blog postings into the page also so when people click the "Event" link button they can see the postings to all my event blogs. If this template I am using cannot do that, can you let me know a template/theme that can do it. Thanks,

July 21, 2011 at 2:53 PM
 

I activated Piano Black on my Gallery Demo blog @ http://agallerydemo.wordpress.com/ and found two things that need attention:

  1. Navigation of Subpages: navigation is fine if you only have Child pages under a Parent page. However, if you have other sub-pages under those Child pages, the drop-down menu for those pages is out of sight, off screen. My monitor has a resolution of 1280pixels wide.
  2. Text using h3 tags is black, which on a black background makes them invisible.

Otherwise, this is one lovely theme.

lornakismet on "A person's choice of blog theme.........."
July 21, 2011 at 1:55 PM
 

You know what? Aside from loving to work on my own blog, I also find it fascinating to click onto other people's blogs to see what kind of design and setup they choose. Is there something that one can learn about someone else just by looking at his or her blog? (I don't mean the text, which implicitly tells what the person is about, but just the look of the blog).

I was in the New Theme Black Piano page reading what people were saying about it, and I found myself just clicking onto people's names in order to see THEIR blog choices and styles and colors used. And their blog titles!

It is fascinating to read what people say about something, and then click onto their name and discover how they have constructed their blogs. I do think that you can get a hint of what a person is like, or how a person wants others to perceive him, or how a person thinks that he really is. You never know, and the wondering is so very interesting.

I would want to have email pals with so many of you, but I spend too much time at my computer as it is. But oh, it is so easy to be seduced into getting to know people and exchange thoughts and see how they create their own little blog world.

And tonight I am simply in a very very good mood, too, so sorry for being effusive and over the top starry eyed.

outofourmindstoyours on "problems with getting my pictures and text to stay where I put them"
July 21, 2011 at 8:36 AM
 

Here is a link to the page I am referring too: http://outofourmindstoyours.wordpress.com/get-it-done-wednesdays/

My friend and I run this blog together, writing our own blurbs in the posts/pages. We always have difficulty from one entry to the next persons turn to enter their pictures and information. The pictures always are in different places with huge gaps between and then the next persons text ends up way up in between the others persons pictures.

I have literally spent hours researching this problem out and haven't found what I'm looking for. I'm sure it's the html side, which neither of us know anything about! I did run across someones advice to put <br style="clear:both;" /> after every 4th and 8th picture to help with the side-effects of left alignment and wrap-around. I keep trying it, not sure if I'm putting it in the right place or not. But it usually looks like it worked, until the next time you go to that page and it's all messed up again. And the code I entered is no longer there, like it gets booted out or something. My stress level is beyond "high" right now! Please help!

Another question: why does "edit" and "preview changes" show you something completely different than what the actual page looks like. We think we have it fixed and looking good in these modes, and then when you go to the actual page it's all kinds of messed up!

So, I'm all new to this and I've tried to figure it out for quite sometime now. I chose the twenty eleven theme to use on my blog but does that mean that I have to have the same pictures that it came with? I would like to use my own pictures in stead and I hope that possible and if it is, can someone tell me how? It would be so nice to get some help, even though I'm sure my question is "pretty basic".

greyhound2 on "Changing header height in twenty eleven"
July 21, 2011 at 8:02 AM
 

I saw that someone used the following to change the header size in twenty eleven:
#branding img {
height: 210px;;
margin-bottom: -7px;
width: 100%;
They talked about putting the header in the background.

Thesacredpath said that after you change the header dimensions, "from that point forward you have to use a background declaration in the CSS to add a header image."

So my questions are these:
1. Would I use this same code if I want the header image to be 1000 x 190 (just changing the height)?
2. When you say you have to use a background declaration in the CSS to add a header image, does that mean adding the code above or something else?
3. Does changing the header height affect being able to change the header images on the other pages?

I want to narrow the header image, but I'm a little worried about doing it because I don't know much CSS.
Anyway, the url of the narrowed header is:

Is there a way that we can lock posts, pages and entries from being editted unless it is by the original author or an administrator?
