wordpress

So it seems I broke my Wordpress template awhile ago and didn’t realize how easy it would be to fix it. I’d been putting it off but I fixed it earlier today.

It turned out I didn’t have a “single.php” file for formatting the display of individual posts, so it was using the main template instead. And that template was missing a single critical tag (that I didn’t know I needed to have) that plugs in the comment form.

So now you really can tell me how much I suck.

Just installed UltimateTagWarrior? Converted all your categories to tags? Dissappointed that your imported categories are capitalized and capitalized tags look stupid? Fear not! Fire up your favorite MySQL client and use this simple SQL query on your Wordpress database:

UPDATE tags SET tag = LOWER(tag);

I found it handy so maybe somebody else will.

I upgraded to Wordpress 2.0.4 tonight and decided that at the same time I might as well give my blog a bit of an “overhaul”. So if things look strange or suddenly stop working, its because I’m replacing the gerbils that run the internals of my site.

Well it appears that when I upgraded my version of WordPress recently, I also managed to break the comment form on my blog.

I was wondering why nobody was commenting. Strangely I still managed to get blog spam though…

But its fixed now.

Well, it looks like the boys and girls at Del.icio.us may have made some changes to their RSS feeds that break my plugin.

So I’ve taken it offline for awhile, and I’ll figure out whats wrong with it when I’ve got some more free time. You’ve been warned.
