If you’ve ever tried to insert code into a WordPress post, one of the following has probably happened to you:
Your HTML code was rendered as such.
WordPress stripped the code from the post entirely.
WordPress turned "straight quotes" into “curly quotes” — not good if you want your users copying/pasting code from your blog!
Here’s how to get around these annoying problem and make the code show as-is:
Put the code into a basic text processing program (like Notepad), and perform the following find/replace operations:
Find
Replace
>
"
"
Click the “Code” tab on the WordPress post composition page, and then paste in the “fixed” code.
Be sure to encase your code in a tag for purposes of semantic correctness.
If you use code in your posts on a frequent basis, it’s probably worth it to disable the visual editor , since that can mess up the cod...

OK, I think you need to do some Wordpress reading as it sounds like you’re missing some of the basics. In particular, read up on The Loop and templates. The Wordpress Codex is a good place to start if you haven’t already. http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page As for your current problem, if you post an example of your code (how you’re generating your links) and tell me which template your code is in (page.php, archive.php, etc.) it will be easier all round. :-) To be honest ...

Post Date: 2008-11-01 20:40:04
Way old version of WordPress (1.5.1.3). I need to upgrade, obviously. I am considering switching hosts at the same time and so I am trying to figure out how to export the current blog so I can import it once upgraded at either current or new host. But I can’t figure out how to export on 1.5.1.3 and I am so frustrated.
Apologies in advance for length. I know just enough to get in trouble, as you will see, so I am trying to cover all my bases in terms of providing information.

How to Optimize Your WordPress Database TablesFrom: wordpress.jdwebdev.com
Post Date: 2008-03-04 06:21:49
As time goes on, all the database operations performed on your WordPress tables will create what’s called “overhead.” To keep your database running smoothly, you can get rid of this overhead by “optimizing” your tables (similar to defragmenting your hard drive).
Here are two ways to do it.
Method 1: WP-DBManager
Download and install the WP-DBManager plugin.
The plugin allows you to, among other things, optimize your tables from within your Word...

BuddyPress: Turning WordPress into a Social NetworkFrom: wordpress.jdwebdev.com

It was announced just yesterday that BuddyPress , a project that aims to turn WordPress MU into a social network, has been acquired by Automattic to help continue its development.
This is great news! I think BuddyPress has a lot of potential in today’s social-oriented web. If early versions are indicative of the final release, BuddyPress is going to be more than a plugin — more like powerful “plugin system.”
I’ve actually been tracking the BuddyPress proje...
