In reply to: Google analytics problemJust loaded ‘Ultimate Google Analytics’ and when I activated it, I got this msg.
The plugin generated 280 characters of unexpected output during activation. If you notice “headers already sent” messages, problems with syndication feeds or other issues, try deactivating or removing this plugin.

In reply to: How to customize a static home page?Saildude,
That’s how I configured my other site <http://www.creative-i.info> unless it’s a short piece.The thing with the other site is that I have 1000s of files all in plain html that I’ve built up over the years and it’s a valuable resource, so I was trying to create a more flexible home page to include links to the old site. I may have to look at a more flexible theme. It’s now I wish I knew how to use php, then I’d build one to my liking.

In reply to: How to customize a static home page?Good question: I don’t want to fill the home page with new posts. Rather I’d like to be able to insert links to new posts.

In reply to: Getting rid of the image space in 20-10Good idea as I’ve switched themes until I can figure it out.
Here’s a link to the relevant bit of code tho:
/* This is the custom header image */
#branding img {
clear: both;
border-top: 4px solid #000;
display: block;
border-bottom: 1px solid #000;
}#branding a img {display:none;}
/* =Menu

In reply to: Big problems with setting up WPHi Esmi,
Solved it! Took me two weeks but I did it. The cause were two lines I’d added to wp-config.php when I had a redirect running from the old site. Compared the file to my other site ad saw that they didn’t contain these two lines.Still have a stackload of files that have the dreaded wordpress in the link but I’ll have to edit them using link checker (unless there’s a better one?.

In reply to: Relocating WordPress problemsUpdate,
I’m clueless about MySQL but I’ve been going through it via phpadmin and discovered that the changes to the url that I uploaded the other day have all reverted to the old url! I exported wp_options again, changed it, uploaded it (again) but the changes don’t take.I also found a bunch of the incorrect urls that I also changed and uploaded but so far nothing seems to work.
The hosting co sent me this, though I don’t have any idea as what it means:
One thing I’ve noticed, though, is that you only appear to have one set of wordpress tables in the database, which is probably confusing things somewhat (though I can’t see how it would create this particular problem). When installing, you’re given the option of configuring a different table prefix (wp_ is the default, wp2_ is a reasonable one to use), and should take this option in order to start afresh; so many of the settings are configured in the database that to get away from the old, broken, ones you really need to be using new tables.
If we you get down to just one, working, install of WordPress configured as it was before we started this move, then install another, totally separate, instance of it with a different directory hierarchy and a different table prefix, migrating the data across should be trivial, without inadvertently taking any legacy configuration.

In reply to: Relocating WordPress problemsUpdate:
Went into MySQL again and did a search for wp_users and found my entry, discovered that it showed http://www.williambowles.info/wordpress/ so I changed it, first to http://www.williambowles.info/, that didn’t work then to http://williambowles.info/ and that didn’t work either, still getting the same redirect:
not sure where else to look.

In reply to: Getting rid of the image space in 20-10so it is important where I stick it, that’s what I wanted to know as I tagged it on the end of the file and nothing changed.
I’ll let you know how it goes

This is the path I get when I try to login:
BTW, when I exported the DB the only option was
“Add DROP TABLE”Couldn’t find these:
VIEW / PROCEDURE / FUNCTION / EVENT”.
