Comment on Redirect Users to Homepage Instead of Dashboard after Logging into WordPress by effect

effect — Thu, 18 Feb 2010 02:18:11 +0000

this function seems to redirect me to only 1 level up. For example if I am on http://yonge.cs.ucl.ac.uk/wordpress/password-recovery address
it redirects me to http://yonge.cs.ucl.ac.uk/wordpress/ (Which is ok, since it’s my homepage).
But if I am on http://yonge.cs.ucl.ac.uk/wordpress/category/letters_1850-1859 address, it sends me to http://yonge.cs.ucl.ac.uk/wordpress/category (it’s not my homepage and this page does not exist). Do you know how to solve this problem?
My login form is located on the header of the website.

In addition, you could download the ClearType tuner from the MS website and adjust it to suit your viewing needs.

Comment on WordPress: How to create a separate page for your blog posts while using a static homepage. by Michael Fields

Your theme is most likely using the wp_page_menu() function to generate your navigation which adds the link for Home and then lists all other pages, you can remove Welcome by adding the exclude parameter like so:

wp_page_menu( 'exclude=9' );

Be sure to change 9 to the $post->ID of the page titled Welcome.

I am having a similar problem as Nickie. I’m working on a site for a client (melissacoeceremonies.com) and want a home page called either “home” or “welcome”. When I create it as “home” it shows up twice, and when I create it as “welcome”, both “home” (the default landing page) and “welcome” point to the same place. I don’t have a file called “home”, though.. which is why that part of the directions don’t make much sense to me.

Hello! First of all.. thanks for this great plugin!

I wish to show in the front page all excerpts of pages, like a big resume of all site.

Maybe a way of get excerpts by ID, its possible?

Anyone have an idea?

Thanks

mesonto, I believe that these functions were expanded in WordPress version 2.8.

Still doesn’t work for me in version 2.7.1. It is very frustrating. Do you know what version I need in order to have this work?

@Philip – No problem! It’s about time that I’ve updated this page…

@Devin – I wrote this article about 20 months ago during my “I don’t use plugins… period!” period. I scoped out the plugin that you linked to and the code is almost identical save the tabindex attributes on the textarea…
