In reply to: Upgrade to 3.4.1 Stuck at Database Update RequiredRight; found the solution in this thread:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-login-after-upgrade-wp-34
We had this problem and just solved it! Open the PHP file version.php which is located in wp-include folder of your wordpress blog, and check the field $wp_db_version. It should be equal to the db_version of WP_Options table. For more detail, read http://www.clickonf5.org/2247/solution-database-upgrade-required/
and
With regards to the solution. What you do is (I’m assuming you found WP-options) search for “db_version” under the option_name column (use <ctrl><F>) and look at the option_value value. I am assuming it will be 19470 (this is the 3.3.2 version number). The co to wp-content, version.php and change the db_version value to 19470 from 20596 (3.4).
That is, note the value from the database table and edit the one in version.php to match. You’ll probably have to look at the database with something like PHPMyAdmin on your website host’s server. General instructions for doing this can be found on one of my websites (as it happens):

In reply to: Upgrade to 3.4.1 Stuck at Database Update RequiredOK, got into the correct database. All the tables check out as “OK”. Some don’t support repair, apparently.

In reply to: [Media Categories] [Plugin: Media Categories] Gallery IncompatibilityPerhaps I should add: the theme I’m using is Suffusion (a child theme of it, but the result is the same if I use the parent theme).

In reply to: [Media Categories] [Plugin: Media Categories] Gallery IncompatibilityHi,
1. Version 3.4.1.
2. Yes.
3. No, I only have the one theme.Thanks

In reply to: Custom Community Child Theme misalignmentsOK… I have looked at the example child theme of Themekraft: all they do is pull in the stylesheet of the original theme with an include statment, and have no other code.
What I had done was include the reset but copy and paste the original styles in after that. It worked for a while…
Anyway, doing it their way works.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Custom Community Child Theme misalignmentsYes, that’s all I’m using… I’m going to look around for that Themekraft child theme though: if it works, it will bypass whatever error has crept into my code – although I don’t remember adding anything to style.css at all.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Custom Community Child Theme misalignmentsHi – no, is there a special one? I just made my own following the usual instructions. Is there some significant difference to the usual set-up with this theme? I suppose it can’t hurt to try it…

In reply to: Could WordPress run a site like this?Well, I think the coding could be a big problem. I suppose I could hire an expert to do it, but… would the end users be able to update the pages in the same style, or even alter it if they wanted to?
That could be a bigger problem.
Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Could WordPress run a site like this?OK, thanks… I will see if I can read up on custom post types and what they can do…

In reply to: Blog Posts Not ShowingOK, re:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_WordPress_Its_Own_Directory
Everything was (and is) in place, except that index.php is not in my root directory because I already have one of my own there. Still getting 404 Not Found for the blog posts.
🙁

In reply to: Blog Posts Not ShowingOK; I think all of WP is in /saloon. I’ll go through those instructions carefully tomorrow evening maybe (I only get about half an hour a day to look at this problem – it seems as if nobody’s tried to do this before, given how difficult it is to make it work!).
In the long run it may be better to have WP running the site, but at the moment my mission is only to add a blog to an existing site; I don’t have the time right now to rewrite the rest of the site and customize the template.
At the moment the blog is using ChocoTheme but once it works I may customize it to match the rest of the site – or leave it, depending on how much time it’ll take. Don’t know. I’ll make the link absolute, but it is working for now, I think.
The stats are from the rest of the site’s code. They’re the last thing I’ll fix. I’ll have to fix the validation errors though, that’s right. Thanks for the help so far, by the way! 😉 I’m sure we’ll get to the bottom of it in the end.

In reply to: Blog Posts Not ShowingOK, done that… Well, actually, it didn’t work, but ../ on the front did – so in the end I just put the full server path down instead.
However… the posts are still not found. Does the path have to be specified somewhere else as well? I’ve had a bit of a rummage around but haven’t found where that might be.

I don’t want to put WP’s index.php in the root directory as I have one of my own there. I don’t know with my setup whether I should be changing that require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’); line in some way or not. To be honest, I just expected WordPress to work.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Blog Posts Not ShowingI see… that article though is for if I want WordPress to power the whole site. I only want it to power the blog, although I do want it in the /saloon subdirectory. I will read it through carefully as it’s clearly relevant, but I’m not sure how much it will apply.
