i modify the permanent structure.but it didnot displays the page In li tag it is correct or not please tell me
bye

Did you update the permalink structure? Go to your control panel, settings, permalinks and set a custom structure with this:

/%category%/%postname%/

Now when you write and save a new page you’ll see the new URL appear a the top of the editing page… that is what you link to in order to reach that page!

Hope that helps.

I look forward to hearing from you.

Whats the code to include in the htaccees file’ at the bottom of the page’ to setup the permalinks.

I have set the htaccess to writable and then added /%category%/%postname%/ into the permalink custom field but it return a can’t find page 404 error.

My HTaccess file is empty at present.

Any help would be great, no-one is willing to even reply to my qusetion on the WP forum, so you might be my last hope.

Thanks

I don’t have any experience with WP MU I’m afraid. I’ve only heard good things about it, and since it’s based on the standard WP code I believe virtualy all plugins etc. are supported but other than that I wouldn’t like to advise. I believe that commercial support is available from http://automattic.com/services/support-network/

Hope that helps

I need a multi user blogging application - what do you recommend? I’m looking at Compendium, Typepad, and what about Wordpress… have you used the wordpressmu version? Has anyone out there?

Does Wordpress sell tech support for their MU version, do you know?

Thank you - Carol

A little tweak to your header file will do the trick.

Since every other page in your site is considered a PAGE (when you’re running WP as a CMS) and this one is not (since it’s your blog) you can use is_page() to check whether this is what is being called. However, that on it’s own would also change the titles on single posts so you need to combine it with is_post().

So here’s what to do:

In header.php find this line (or a similar line if your theme has this edited):

<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> &raquo; Blog Archive <?php } ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>

Now replace it with something like this:

<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> <?php if (!is_page()&&!is_single()) {echo "News and updates"; } else if ( is_single() ) { ?> &raquo; Blog Archive <?php } ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>

Change ‘News and updates” to whatever your title should be!

As you can see, it checks the page and if it’s not a page AND it’s not a single post, then it must be your blog page and therefore changes the title!

Obviously you can choose whether the bloginfo(’name’); is within the conditional or not to your own preference.

You can use the same method to change the way your titles show in single blog posts too!

Hope that helps,

Bill
