In reply to: Media LibraryMaybe the image uploader has exceeded the amount of memory (RAM) your web host has provided. Who is your host?

In reply to: under development message after removing index.htmThe page loads fine for me, too. You probably need to clear your brower’s cache.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Bold and Italics are disabled?OK, I’ve found the problem. Open up the “reset.css” stylesheet in your theme.
Find this code:
html, body, div, span, applet, object, iframe, h1, h2, h3, h4, h5, h6, p, blockquote, pre, a, abbr, acronym, address, big, cite, code, del, dfn, em, font, img, ins, kbd, q, s, samp, small, strike, strong, sub, sup, tt, var, dl, dt, dd, ol, ul, li, fieldset, form, label, legend, table, caption, tbody, tfoot, thead, tr, th, td { margin: 0; padding: 0; border: 0; outline: 0; font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit; font-size: 100%; font-family: inherit; vertical-align: baseline; }Remove the following two lines:
font-weight: inherit; font-style: inherit;That should do it!

In reply to: Modifying an existing templateIt looks like the site is setup as regular WordPress Pages. I don’t see any posts, tags, categories, etc, anywhere…

In reply to: Want to add a population plugin, need helpNo problem. Let me know how it turns out. There’s got to be a way to reference this external variable with PHP, but I’m not sure of how to do that.

In reply to: Bold and Italics are disabled?Please post a link to the website or to the theme, it’s hard to help if we can’t see what’s going on under the hood.

In reply to: Modifying an existing templatewhat is the template that you purchased? If you could post a link to it that would be great!
You don’t need to actually delete anything. You can just set up Pages for all of the pages you want to have in your site. Then under Settings > Reading Settings, set the front page to display a static page (one of the Pages you created).

In reply to: Want to add a population plugin, need helpNot sure where you could get the variable off the internet. It’s an interesting idea though. I just got that value from Wikipedia. Maybe you could change it periodically every week? Where did you get the variable on your Moveable Type page?

In reply to: Want to add a population plugin, need helpOK, I made a change to the code, this version should work:
Place in functions.php:
<?php function million() { $world_pop = 6867600000; $one_in_a_mill = $world_pop / 1000000; echo $one_in_a_mill; }?>Pu this in your theme:
“If you are One in a Million, there are <?php million(); ?> people just like you!”
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Want to add a population plugin, need helpYou wouldn’t need a plugin for that, couldn’t you just write a simple PHP function and then output its value in your homepage? The code would be something like this:
<?php function million() { $world_pop = 6867600000; $one_in_a_mill = $world_pop / 1000000; return $one_in_a_mill; } ?>And then in your homepage, you’d have something like:
<?php global $one_in_a_mill, $world_pop; echo "If you are One in a Million, there are" . $one_in_a_mill . "people just like you!"; ?>I haven’t tested this so not sure if it will work but this is the general idea…

In reply to: Problem with Creating Theme Options pageYour options form has no action…so nothing is happening when it’s submitted. Plus, I don’t see “banner_url” anywhere in the options code…
I suggest you read this tutorial which tells you how to create an advanced and efficient options page that is scalable should you need to add more options:

In reply to: smtp helpIs your form configured to use the WP-Mail-SMTP plugin function?
This is copied from the FAQ for the plugin:
My plugin still sends mail via the mail() function
If other plugins you’re using are not coded to use the wp_mail() function but instead call PHP’s mail() function directly, they will bypass the settings of this plugin. Normally, you can edit the other plugins and simply replace the mail( calls with wp_mail( (just adding wp_ in front) and this will work. I’ve tested this on a couple of plugins and it works, but it may not work on all plugins.
