How To Replicate Techchuck AutoBlog

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%/

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 · Apr 23, 2009

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.

dynamicvb · Apr 23, 2009

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:

Code:

#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 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.

wow that techblog looks proffesional, has anyone found out who owns it?

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.
