Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionI had the same problem with running xampp on my computer with the DB connection error. I finally solved it. In the config file I entered my database name and username and hostname is localhost. But this was the error I corrected – leave the password blank. I kept putting a password and couldn’t for the life of me didn’t know why it didn’t match up then tried leaving it blank and viola the installation page showed up (http://localhost/your wordpress dir/wp-admin/install.php). Don’t know if that is because I was running it on my computer and if on a host you have to put in a password? Hope this helps someone.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Categories menu on main page plugin?I looked into that but the instructions are beyond my comprehension, thanks anyways. 🙂 I tried using some of the code but couldn’t get it to work. I guess I need something simpler…I’m so stupid lol.
I’m not sure if you understand what I want. I want a directory system using the category menu in the sidebar. You can get an idea of what I mean at these URLs:
http://phpnuke.org/modules.php?name=Downloads
http://xoops.org/modules/repository/See the directory in the middle of the page?
These other CMSs have a directory module. I know WP is a blog CMS, but it’s probably the most popular one around that I would think someone would have a need for what I want, unless there is one that I don’t know about. Anyone know of one? Thanks for any help.
