In reply to: Guide to writing WordPress 1.5 themes from scratch?What confuses me, and what I don’t see spelled out is, what is the difference between the index.php file in the root wp directory and the index.php file found in the theme directory? How are they related?
If I’m creating a new theme, should I only concern myself with the ones in the theme dir?Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Simple PHP Gallery & WordPress 1.5I’m not getting this to work properly. I followed shayne’s instructions. But what do I do with the htaccess.txt? Add that to the htaccess file? Where?
I got this error:
Warning: mkdir(cache): Permission denied in /Users/ron/Sites/ronish/wp-gallery/sp_def_vars.php on line 26Warning: mkdir(rcache): Permission denied in /Users/ron/Sites/ronish/wp-gallery/sp_def_vars.php on line 3
Then there was a link to the folder with the image, clicked, and then a link to the image; clicked, then the image showed up.
1. Do I need to change htaccess? If so, where is that?
2. Anything else?Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: Password protect a category?So, I guess the workaround is that I could password protect each post in a category with the same password.
I’m sorry I don’t know php well enough yet to suggest another solution.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Pulling a post to display on my homepageSort of…The second link (which ulitmately links back to one of the support pages here at wordpress.org) talks about how to pull one category to display on the index page– BUT, the post doesn’t make clear which index page it’s talking about– index.php that is wp blog homepage on my site, or my site’s inex.html file. I know that WP has an index.php file.
I moved wordpress to the “blog” directory on my webserver. So I have an index.html file in the main dir that is my site’s homepage (not the blog homepage), with a link to the blog index page (or, “../blog/index.php”).
What I want to do it display the most recent post (which ever category; doesn’t matter to me right now) on my site’s homepage; it will also be displayed, of course, on the WP index (index.php, within the blog dir).
And I know that if there is some PHP code I can include in my site’s main index, then it will become a “.php” file.
Is that clear?Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Problems during installationAH-HA…I figured it out. Yesterday as I was trying to get it to work I changed the DB user to the one with read/write access (as opposed to the user with full access) thinking that might remedy my problems. So switching that back to the main DB user corrected it and let me create the tables, etc.
For others with install problems I had to ensure that my DB servername was put in the config file, not ‘localhost’Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: define(‘DB_NAME’, – ???I’m having troubles too…
I’ve entered the information I see on my hosting companies website about the data base I created.
The db is akanowic_blog. I put that in the wp-config file along with the username and password. But still no luck. I get an error when trying to access the install.php file.
