In reply to: My sidebar widgets/screen is an abnormal colorIt requires login. I’m not aware of a private message functionality on this site, but if you click on my name, it will take you to a contact form that goes straight to me.
Strange. I’ve never used dream weaver for ftp, so perhaps that has something to do with it. Should have worked. I use filezilla.

In reply to: Vigilance theme excerpt supportSounds to me as if it’s not in the correct place…but as it is a premium theme, I don’t have access to the code to fix it. Premium themes aren’t generally supported on this forum as they should have their own support forums.

In reply to: Delete comments.php??That would be the hard way to do it. What you want is pretty common, so WordPress built it in. What you need to do is go to the settings area and click on “discussion”. Now uncheck the third option which should be “Allow people to post comments on new articles”.
This gets you half way there. New posts won’t have a comment section, but you will still need to tell the older posts and pages to not allow comments. To do this, go to the posts page, and click the checkmark for all the posts. (the one at the top selects all of them at once instead of you having to check each one.) Then, go up to the box at top and select “edit” then you have to click the “apply” button just an inch to the right. This will open up a box which all kinds of things you can do to the selected posts en mass. Just uncheck the “allow comments” box and update on the bottom right and you’re all set. If you don’t want pages to have comments either, go the pages list and do the same thing. Have fun!Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Upgraded to 3.3.2 and no themes appearCould we get a link to your site, and are there any other changes you made around the same time, such as a plugin update? This really sounds more like a plugin issue than the theme gone wrong.
Why is this marked as resolved?
When you moved them back, did you create a folder called plugins and then move them into it, or did you put the loose plugin folders straight into wp-content?
As for keeping the settings, all settings for sites and themes are stored safely in the database along with the contents of all posts, pages, and comments. The files and folders you see control what gets displayed from the database, where it sits on the page, and how it is styled. An interesting side effect of this method is that if you make a copy of a theme or a child theme, it will inherit all settings from the original… unless you know how to tweak the php to give it it’s own namespace.
Did you do the step about renaming the plugins folder, and if you did, did you follow the directions about moving them back into the plugins folder? You shouldn’t have had to reinstall them if you did.

In reply to: Trying to delet time off of postWow, it seems I know what to do, just not where to do it 😉
So, just put that bit of code back in, and go to utility.php in lib/funtions/ and delete This bit of code. Cheers!Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: wordpress updateWhen they release an update, they tell in the blog post about it whether it has security releases in it. You probably don’t want to get more than a few point releases behind the latest version or else you run a security risk. If they say there is a vulnerability fix, then update right away. Same for plugins. As for making a mess, that’s pretty rare. Sometimes it doesn’t seem rare on this forum, but that’s because this forum supports hundreds of thousands of users. With that many people, someone is bound to experience some trouble with upgrading causing an old plugin to malfunction or some such. The recent releases of WordPress have been remarkable stable.

In reply to: Trying to delet time off of postI believe you’ll need to delete this piece from content-single.php. Be sure to get the dot and leave one space between echo and canyon.
T’would appear that the designer liked to change things up a bit from normal.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How to move the leave a comment linkIf I understand what you want correctly, you will need to use the built in theme editor change a file in your theme. The name of the file is content-single.php and you will need to move
