How To Replicate Techchuck AutoBlog

[southsider]

Can someone tell me how to get the post title in the URL, right now I am getting mysite dot com/?p=607 and I want it to read mysite dot com/my-recent-post-title

Thanks in advance

Change your permalink structure to a custom with /%postname%/

 

[southsider]

Also, my adsense is the same ads on all my posts, it is not always related to the posts. Any ideal what may cause that, is there a setting I need to turn on to get ads related to the topic?

 

[southsider]

Thank You, actually that permalink change also fixed my adsense problem.

Is there a whole bunch missing from the technicnews files uploaded here?

I uploaded the theme, plugins and set them all up but the blog layout is screwed there's no Twitter, Youtube, Tags or even comment form.

Did you overwrite another version of the plugins or theme? If so delete them all and re upload everything. I had this issue at first and then I deleted everything and started over and it corrected my issue.

it works on others blogs i have seen them do it! it may because the twitter api has been changed are you getting a message about twitter at the bottom of your screen?

did you guys figure out how to put the feed name in 'read the full article at _______________" and then it inserts the name of the feed? currently I have it just saying "read the full article HERE" but i want it to say the name

If you use wp-o-matic.Try this code

{content}
<p>Read the original article at Engadget:
<a href="{permalink}">{title}</a></p>

Yep i did overwrite some, then i deleted them all and reuploaded and still the same. I might just wipe out Wordpress and start from scratch if everything should work with the technic files i've got. Thanks.

in default.css change this one:

#header .inner {
	background:#F7F7F7;
	border-bottom:1px solid #FFF;
}

Yeh, I wiped out the wp install too. Something must have gotten inserted into the DB. I never figured out what, but since I had not did any work it only took a couple of minutes to re-install the whole thing.

I have been working on a movie site...that I have got running pretty much on auto. I have to do the tags myself, and update the post titles for seo reasons...but the rest of it is running on auto.

I just used the exact twitter code from the OP's rapidshare download. You need all the code from the single.php + you need to go into the css file and copy all the styles that related to it....there are a few for twitter....hope that helps.

That's what happened to me i'd say, some leftover plugin config. When i dropped the db, and done it all again it was perfect so i'm in business.

Would the real Techchuck please stand up, please stand up.

I just went through and optimized the pageloads and got it smoking fast, i minified all the JS/CSS and replaced a ton of variables with direct URL's and i'll throw a cache on later.

So far, looking good.
