Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Changed WordPress directory – now links direct to homepageThis has worked! I still need to replace the old posts and put the old website content in to WP pages, but everything seems to be linked up the way it should be.
Thanks for your help!

In reply to: Changed WordPress directory – now links direct to homepageI couldn’t get anything to work – I ended up reinstalling WordPress completely. Links to individual posts are still directing to the homepage for some reason, but I’ve recovered the blog. Thanks for the suggestions; I’ll have another look at it tomorrow. I’m WordPressed out.

In reply to: Changed WordPress directory – now links direct to homepageSorry, the extra http is an error – i didn’t notice it at the time.
The WordPress address is http://www.flourandwater.co.uk/blog, and the Site address http://www.flourandwater.co.uk.Basically, I want to use WordPress as a CMS as well as to power the blog, but when I installed it originally I put it in a subdirectory called ‘blog’. As a result, the static pages I was experimenting with all had URLs starting http://www.flourandwater.co.uk/blog/, whereas I wanted them to start http://www.flourandwater.co.uk/, with only the blog page being http://www.flourandwater.co.uk/blog.
I thought this would be easy enough, but I spent four hours on it last night, managed to completely break the site and had to recover it by fiddling with myPHPAdmin. I’m sure this must be pretty simple really, but I’ve obviously missed something, and neither the Codex nor my (basically useless) copy of WordPress for Dummies can help.
Oh, and thanks for the compliment!

In reply to: WordPress for Dummies – Putting a theme togetherI can see this is a fairly old post, but for what it’s worth by now, I’ve also had problems with this book. Possibly the same problem. Are you referring to the code in the section ‘Putting It All Together’ starting on page 508? Because you’re right, the code in the line by line version and the complete version is different, and neither version is correct. It took me the best part of an hour to debug it. I’m ******* furious.
If it’s still relevant, I can give you the right code.
