All that is required in the header.php file is to use conditional code saying if front page, wrap site title in h1 tags else h4 and then set the post/page titles by default to h1, which is what they should be IMO.

Thanks, I agree that there are better ways to handle this, because I’m guess that some folks will want to do this.

[@bmg1227 Participant 17 years ago]

Ok, let me ask this – what part of the database dictates whether a blog is listed on the blogs page or not?

[@bmg1227 Participant 17 years ago]

It appears that this might have something to do with that private/public options of blocking search engines. I signed up with a dummy account and upon registrtation selected to block, and it didn’t show on my user page. I went in and changed the option to not block search engines and then it showed. I tried that on the blog in question, but no luck.

[@bmg1227 Participant 17 years ago]

Close this one out, I got it fixed!

[@bmg1227 Participant 17 years ago]

The weird thing is that it works and displays the splash page to visitors, it’s me when logged in that gets the white screen on the actual site.

[@bmg1227 Participant 17 years, 7 months ago]

Hey gang, thanks to the help of you here, I have managed to work through some things and am now proud to show a site that I’m developing:

http://grungepress.com/

Keep in mind that it’s not done, and I haven’t had a chance to customize the forum template, as I’ll plan to match that with the main site.

[@bmg1227 Participant 17 years, 7 months ago]

That’s exactly what I was looking for, thanks!

[@bmg1227 Participant 17 years, 7 months ago]

Nevermind, I figured it out…

[@bmg1227 Participant 17 years, 7 months ago]

Gravatar for the email that it’s registered to, or just any random one?

[@bmg1227 Participant 17 years, 7 months ago]

Awesome, thanks Trent – exactly what I was looking for.

[@bmg1227 Participant 17 years, 7 months ago]

John, I tried your technique, but when not logged in, it leaves that space that would normally be occupied by the admin bar just blank space. I wish there was a way to call the admin bar like a navbar, put it in it’s own <div> and then not have the admin bar overlay everything.

[@bmg1227 Participant 17 years, 7 months ago]

Ok, so where can I hack the wp_footer – what I was hoping to do was drop a <div class=”clear”></div> after it so that the <body> can start AFTER the menubar. My issue is that with a background image that sits up top, the logo won’t align with it when the admin bar exists. When not logged in and there’s no admin bar, it’s fine. But the admin bar showing will push down my logo and therefor not align with my background image.

[@bmg1227 Participant 17 years, 7 months ago]

Can you tell me which file specifically calls the admin bar? I see the bb-core-admin.php file in the directory, but can’t find the file that actually calls it.

[@bmg1227 Participant 17 years, 7 months ago]

Forgive my ignorance, would this go in the home theme’s base.css or the admin bar’s css? I put it in the base.css, but it didn’t really work, What I’d like to do is have the admin bar just be at the top, and then just have everything start below it. Another question, is what file is the admin bar actually called?

[@bmg1227 Participant 17 years, 7 months ago]

I would say so, as most people who use WP and WPMU that use permalinks a certain way would like to continue to. Also consider the fact that people using MU with the permalinks as I had mentioned are using them successfully, which means if they install BP onto their MU version, it will create an issue with all of the posts they have.

[@bmg1227 Participant 17 years, 7 months ago]

Thanks, the weird thing is that the month and name permalink structure of /%year%/%monthnum%/%postname%/ will show the comments, but when you strip that down to /%postname%/ it won’t show them.

[@bmg1227 Participant 17 years, 7 months ago]

Let me know if you can find it…

[@bmg1227 Participant 17 years, 7 months ago]

It’s definitely a permalink issue, as when I set it to %postname%.htm like I normally do on my standard WP installs, the comments don’t show – but when I set it to the default permalinks, the comments show.

Thanks for the help, I’ll figure out a way to get pretty permalinks to work and still show comments… it looks like any custom permalinks have issues showing comments.

[@bmg1227 Participant 17 years, 7 months ago]

Trent & Andy – just emailed you both the domain I’m testing this on. You can click on the comments in the recent comments widget, and you’ll see it takes you to the single page without comments. Just thinking I am missing an enable/disable comments option in the BuddyPress dashboard or something…

[@bmg1227 Participant 17 years, 7 months ago]

This is using RC1

[@bmg1227 Participant 17 years, 7 months ago]

Moreover, even on the post page the place to enter a comment isn’t even there (meaning the comment form) I was only able to make the second comment by replying to the default comment within my dashboard. I have checked to ensure that the <?php comments_template(); ?> call is in the single.php file – but not showing on each post.

[@bmg1227 Participant 17 years, 7 months ago]

On the main site, I made a post. I click on that post, and the entire comment block is not showing. Meaning you can’t see the comments that have been made on the post. Even if go to the Blog link in the main navigation, it shows the post with the comments icon and the 2 by it, so the comments exist… but just don’t show on the single page.

[@bmg1227 Participant 17 years, 7 months ago]

Just bumping this – not sure why a clean install wouldn’t show comments – anyone else have this issue?
