The Archives and Categories (Updated)

Clusterflock’s archives are now officially up and running, included is a dynamic list of the top ten most commented posts.

Now if I could only get the categories to do what I want then we would be in business. Does anybody know why WordPress is only building an uncategorized page but seems to neglect the others (for example)? My cursory research hasn’t bore any fruit.

Thanks to India the categories are working. She came up with a brilliant solution to a rather tricky technical problem.

    So far as I can tell, your WP is generating category pages just fine. I licked on “Announcements” at the bottom of your post and it gave me a bunch of posts marked Announcements.

    The “Announcements” category was created after we moved to WordPress. But older categories from when the site was on Movable Type aren’t in the right place and haven’t been updated since the switch. See, for example,

    http://www.clusterflock.org/category/food/
    vs.
    http://www.clusterflock.org/food/

    So something’s not set up right. I’d have to poke at it to figure out what, though.

    I’ve been reading the “most commented” posts–a very nice feature, Andrew.

    Man, are we funny. And can I be mean!

  7. Andrew Simone on April 9th, 2008 at 12:37 pm

    That you can, Cindy. And that’s why we love you.

    Aww, you’re a sweetheart.

  9. India on April 9th, 2008 at 2:12 pm

    La la la! I feexed eet!

  10. Andrew Simone on April 9th, 2008 at 2:17 pm

    Well done, India.

    Next project: Getting the categories page to update itself automatically. (Right now it’s missing any cats added since February.)
    Done.

    You are the Queen of Rock and Roll.

    Andrew and India: Bouquets to both of you.

    Problem is, now that we’ve got categories back, it is Even More Embarrassing that we have 2,175 uncategorized posts. People, I thought we’d talked about going back and labeling all of those. If you’ve got editing privileges, how’s about you take on a stack of ’em every couple of days? I just did five—before that, the count was 2,180.

    There’s good stuff in there, but ain’t nobody gonna find it.
