Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Older posts at the bottom of the main pageOpen the index.php file of your theme and see if it has included the “next” and “previous” tags. They should look something like this:
<?php posts_nav_link('','','« Previous Entries') ?> <?php posts_nav_link('','Next Entries »','') ?>Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: Linking from Blog to index.html?You should try to adopt a new way of thinking: in WP, you will be doing away with true “static files”. You wouldn’t be creating an index.html, you will be creating a dynamic page with a unique name (Home, for example.) Then go to Settings > Reading and select Home as your front page. To have a blog page, you can create a blank page (Blog, for example) and assign it as your posts page. If you decide to go in this direction, you may have to change the address of your posts page in Setting > General in the Blog address (URL) field (unless that is done automatically by WP.) I’m not sure about that.
Another advantage of this method is that if you decide to change the theme, you would not have to worry about modifying the static files to match the new theme.

In reply to: Linking from Blog to index.html?My suggestion would be to move WP to the root. Then you can recreate index, page2 and page3 as *pages* on WP. Afterwards, you can set index as your home page (the front page doesn’t have to be the blog.)

Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Theme changes on its ownTo all on this thread (and this is from personal experience): do not muck around with the default themes. Leave them alone, do not replace them. If your active theme fails, WP will have nothing to fall back on. Then you will be in a panic because your blog is borked.
When you upload a theme, make sure the files are all in its containing folder. (ie: wp-contents/themes/name-of-theme) No theme files should be alone in the wp-contents or themes folders.
Make sure all necessary files are present:
index
header
footer
sidebar
style.cssMost will also include more such as post, single, archive, comments, search, etc.
Open style.css in a text editor to make sure it has the standard header info:
/*
THEME NAME: xxx
THEME URI: http://xxx
DESCRIPTION: xxx
VERSION: 1.0
AUTHOR: xxx
AUTHOR URI: xxx

In reply to: Unable to upgrade to 2.5You also need to delete/replace the WP files in the root directory (all except config.php) Did you run the upgrade script? It’s located at wp-admin/upgrade.php

In reply to: Can’t Publish Pages or PostsI’ve been having this intermittent problem myself and across the three blogs that I have upgraded so far. I have noticed that when I get this message, the post is thrown into draft status. It would be hard to nail down a common plugin as the problem since it has been intermittent for me.

In reply to: Alignment on AttachmentsFor now, I guess we’ll have to settle for adding align=”left” (or right, or center) in the img tag. Depending on your theme and length of post, you may also have to add
<br clear="all" />at the end of the post.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Alignment on AttachmentsThis was one of the 2.5 features that I was looking forward to, but it appears to be non-functional. I tried right and center aligned images in many different themes, but they all align left. Will we have to modify our style sheets for these classes?

In reply to: how to put an image as the blog`s title?You’re in the right template file but you’re looking in the head section when you should be looking in the body section. Try replacing the blog title tag in that section with something like:
<a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/"><img height="XX" width="XXX" src="http://www.XXX.XXX/wp-content/themes/XXX/_img/header.png" border="0" alt="XXX" /></a>Or you can make a php call something like:
<a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/"><img src="<?php bloginfo('template_directory'); ?>/images/XXX.gif" border="0" alt="XXX" /></a>Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Footer won’t go to the bottomYou have an extra beginning div tag somewhere in your template. It may be difficult to nail it down without looking at the template files, because one extra (or missing) tag can cause a cascade of errors which is what I saw in yours. If this theme was modified from another theme, I would upload the original for comparison.

In reply to: Cant Post “Your attempt to edit this post ‘blablabla” has failedThis just happened again on another blog I had just upgraded to 2.5, during page creation.

In reply to: Cant Post “Your attempt to edit this post ‘blablabla” has failedI’ve seen this error on an intermittent basis. The post is thrown into draft status, but all of the content is lost.
