Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Migrating WP from subdirectory to parentThanks! I read the “moving” instructions, but they seem above my skill level and I suspect I’d just lose all my old writing.
At this point, I think the best workaround would be to just use redirects — redirect http://www.boldizar.com to a new false “front” page, say, http://www.boldizar.com/novel. The only loss is that it’s more difficult to get rid of sidebars, etc., in a front page that isn’t a real frontpage.
Also, I can’t seem to edit the original page I built at http://www.boldizar.com (which was built outside Word Press initially) at all, just hide it. But the /blog pages are still working fine. BlueHost just keeps telling me to reinstall Word Press at http://www.boldizar.com, but I’ve already done that twice so it doesn’t seem like a third time will make a difference.
Right now, it seems that the database is present in two places, both at /blog and at public_html.
This is confusing — I have a WordPress blog on my own site (http://www.boldizar.com), which has a username and password, and I have a support WordPress username and password.
Am I understanding correctly that in order to get an API key (for Akismet), I need to sign up once again?

In reply to: Multiple issues with Media GalleryThanks, twistedsymphony! It seems you found the same workaround that I did — if you have several images side by side, make sure they’re of equal size.
I write in both magazines and newspapers, with different page sizes, and wanted to keep to the original proportions, but that was messing the alignment — I wanted four images per line, and if a middle image stuck out or was taller by a few pixels, it left a big blank space to the left. I “solved” the problem by making each image-with-caption identical in height.
It’s not my ideal solution, since I WOULD like to keep the images in different sizes (fiddling in html mode does help sometimes, but not others), but it’s a good workaround.

In reply to: Undisciplined imagesWell, I found a workaround by making sure my rightmost image (after taking the caption into account) was as big as or bigger than all the other images.
But since I write about an article a month, this is just pushes the pain into the future — and it forced me to replace a landscape with a profile image.
Anyone have a better solution?

AFAIK the “alignment” option only refers to text wrapping not actual placement in the post.
Would you be willing to share knowledge about how to control the placement in a post? I’m trying to upload multiple magazine covers in a post, each with a link to the article. Some are aligning correctly one after the other, but some are going crazy, leaving a nearly full line of empty space, etc. There’s no code difference between the various images except the titles. Since I write at least an article per month, I need to insert new ones regularly.
Here’s the URL: http://www.boldizar.com/blog/?page_id=158
Thank you in advance!!!

In reply to: Adding a linked image to text widgetI’ve been trying to figure out the same problem. But as a total noob, I don’t even know what “imageurl” should actually say. Is it “http://www.mydomain.com//public_html/blog/wp-content/themes/atahualpa/images/imagename.gif” ??
(If so, it’s not working…)
Thanks!
Alex
