WordPress HELP!!
This group is for neophytes to WordPress who are trying to use it as a Bbd alternative and have questions that “everyone knows” the answers to already. Except those who don’t. Quick answers to specific questions is what I envision here, so we can set up our courses without spending hours trying to find out a simple answer. Of course, we NEED EXPERTS in the group to actually answer the questions. All experts and neophytes please join this group!!

Boone Gorges posted on the forum topic Need File Permissions or Add Post Type Support for Arras Theme Thumbnails in the group WordPress HELP!!: 13 years, 7 months ago
Hi Michael, I had a look at the situation, and the problem seems to be that the version of the Arras Theme we are running on the Commons is way out of date, which means that it doesn’t have proper support for *either* method of post thumbnails. I’ve just filed a ticket http://redmine.gc.cuny.edu/issues/show/327 to make […]

Hi All- I’ve been trying to get the thumbnails feature of the Arras Theme to work and it looks like the legacy method of using custom fields requires certain permissions (see second method) vs. the post thumbnail meta box (see first method). http://www.arrastheme.com/wiki/doku.php/quick_start_guide It looks like the post thumbnail meta box is…[Read more]

That worked.
I had to un-enable the blog, and then re-enable it, as I had previously enabled it.
Thanks
Michael

Hi Michael, Your post made me realize that our documentation for the Group Blog function is a bit hidden, as it is located in a post about blog subscriptions. Can you check out the directions in Step 3 in this post – https://help-staging.commons.gc.cuny.edu/2010/02/24/how-to-create-blog-subscriptions/ – and let me know how that goes? Once you’ve…[Read more]

The members of our group are not showing up as blog authors, and are not able to post to the blog (https://core1.commons.gc.cuny.edu/). One writes: “I have tried to find the way to post something on the blog but it seems I cannot do that. If I click on the “My blog” menu I see displayed […]

Thanks for posting, Michael, and sorry you ran into this problem. We’ll troubleshoot this off-list, but if anyone else out there has a similar issue, please let us know.

I just started a new blog for the ITP Core 1 class (https://core1.commons.gc.cuny.edu/). I made a hello world post, and it looked fine. I then changed the theme from the kubrick mu theme. It looked fine in the preview, but now it is loading a blank page — no html (completely empty in the code […]

One solution is to create a blog on the Commons and add the plugin “Page Links To” (http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/page-links-to/)… not sure if this plugin is available on the Commons, Matt, but I’d recommend it. Then, create a page on the Commons blog with the URL of your WordPress.com blog entered into the “Page Links To” field […]

Hi Susan, Right now, there is no way to change the fact that those navigation-bar links point to Commons-related elements (so, “Blogs” shows only blogs on the Commons). In the future, we will be working to create Profile pages that are more modular and customizable, but we’re not there yet. The only workaround I can […]

Hey Matt,
Maura was right; you guys are great. Thanks so much. I will start looking for another blog to PDF plugin and get in touch if I find anything better. Thanks again!

Hi Daisy,
No problem at all — I’ve just added the theme.
If you find a Blog to PDF plugin that you’d prefer over the one I added, please share a link. But it needs to be a WordPress plugin that is located on the WP repository ( http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/ )
Best,
Matt

Thanks very much, Matt. I wish it allowed for customization (not just post by post or entire site) but it’s something!
Is it possible to suggest themes, too? I’m trying to get a magazine theme up. I was thinking of this one: http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/news-magazine-theme-640
Again, thanks very much!

Hi Daisy, Thanks for this suggestion. I just installed the “Blog as PDF” plugin ( http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/blog-as-pdf/ ) and tested it — it’s working fine. To use it, go to the dashboard of your blog and click on the plugins folder. Search for “Blog as PDF” and activate the plugin. Then, go to Settings > Blog […]

Is there any chance you might add this widget: http://www.widgetbox.com/widget/feedjournal or any widget that will allow a whole blog to be turned into a PDF in one shot (not post by post)?
