Back Up

Brian A. Thomas — Wed, 08 Feb 2012 12:34:11 +0000

We… well I… am back up for another year or so.
Plans:
More updates on the kids.
More Star Wars the Old Republic news/views.
iPad app reviews.

We’ll see how the best laid plans actually work out.

Trying to Block Some Posts from the Front Page

Brian A. Thomas — Wed, 14 Jul 2010 03:17:50 +0000

Calling all WordPress Gurus.
I am trying to block posts from a category from showing up on the front page. I tracked the category number down and put this code at the end of my functions.php file, but they are still showing up.

PLAIN TEXT

PHP:

// remove from home page
function exclude_category($query) {
if ( $query->is_home ) {
$query->set(‘cat’, ‘-11');
}
return $query;
}
add_filter(‘pre_get_posts’, ‘exclude_category’);
// remove from home page

Am I supposed to put a call to this in my Index.php? Or am I missing something? Did they change how this works with WP 3?

It has been down for a couple years, but now the Brian A. Thomas Family History page is back up.
Information on the Drake family, Jolley Family, Sollers Family and of course the Thomas Family among others. 919 people from 1620 on.

Since I used it before I thought I would return to it, but when I go to access the page it takes me to one of the WordPress pages... this may be a WordPress issue, I'll know for sure when I try the other one.

Site is back and updating again

I am back to updating this site again as one could perhaps tell.

Zoo Updates All Day Long

Brian A. Thomas — Sun, 07 Jun 2009 00:09:39 +0000

If you were checking the site all day today you would notice that we kept updating with what was going on with our Zoo trip today. On the top right corner is my Twitter feed... though I am having troubles formatting it correctly.

Pages Gone

Brian A. Thomas — Fri, 22 May 2009 20:58:02 +0000

Either I deleted them, which I don't recall, or they got deleted somehow. I'll have to look over old tables to make sure...

Hacked

Brian A. Thomas — Tue, 23 Sep 2008 02:49:24 +0000

We were recently hacked. I am trying to mitigate damage as I write this. Hopefully I'll have Internet access back at home real soon so I can properly fix everything.

Odd Firefox 3 Bug on This Site

Brian A. Thomas — Sun, 06 Jul 2008 13:46:38 +0000

If you are using Firefox 3, such as we are, some parts of this site ~~are~~ may not rendering properly. None of the videos are showing up. They show up with Internet Explorer or if you use IE Tab on Firefox. Hopefully a fix will be found... Not sure if it is a WordPress issue or a Firefox issue, or a plugin issue yet.

Individual Posts Not Showing Up

Brian A. Thomas — Mon, 26 May 2008 20:36:05 +0000

Not sure what the problem is yet, but if you click on an individual post title, or the More link, it doesn't work. Even on ones I knew to be working not too long ago. For some reason, I am getting a 404 error when WordPress tries to go to an individual post.
The Permalink structure is correct in the options, so not sure what is going on...

EDIT: Fixed.
