Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: WordPress Newbie[x] WHEN I WRITE I BLOG, WHAT STEPS DO I TAKE TO GETTING THAT ENTRY TO SHOW UP ON MY WEBPAGE?
[A] You need to ensure that you “Publish” the post before it shows up. Using the “Save” or “Save and Continue Editing” will make the post a draft.
[x] WHAT CHANGES DO I NEED TO MAKE TO THE INFORMATION INSTALLED WITHOUT MESSING EVERYTHING UP?
[A] This is a very vague question and thus a vague answer. You can go through the Admin section of WP and make any and all changes without ‘messing’ anything up. If you start manually playing with the files that were installed through CPanel, then that’s a different story.
Also remember that you probably used Fantastico to install WP and whenever they upgrade to a newer version, the less modifications you make to the core WP files, the easier the upgrade will be.
[x] HOW CAN I CHANGE THE LOCATION OF THE WORDPRESS IN MY PUBLIC_HTML FILE AND STILL BE ABLE TO LOG IN?
[A] Please check out this link to learn about moving WP within a particular directory.
[x] WHAT ARE TEMPS AND HOW DO I USE THEM?
[A] Temps? No clue.
I think it would be a good idea for you to do some reading on the <A href=”http://codex.wordpress.org/Main_Page”>Codex to get your feet wet with WP.

In reply to: Theme creation: virginal attemptNice theme, but there seems to be an issue with your menu.
When I hover over “downloads” I get two sub-menu options, when I hover down to “tips & tricks” suddenly the mouse is over is over “tutorials” and if I scroll down from there attempting to get to “about” with the reshuffling of the menu, suddenly I’m sitting on “contact”.
So, you might want to try to present the sub-menu’s in a different way.

In reply to: WP and phpBB sharing the same userbase?You will have to hack one of the two applications to share the info.
I think I’ve seen some people do this, so perhaps some searches will yield something..

In reply to: removing data from PageFor starters, modify the theme that you are really going to use for the longterm. If it is indeed the classic theme, then you can create your own single.php and page.php files with the styling you want.
As long as you are running WP version 1.5.2 and up, these files will be used automatically.

In reply to: Please Recommend Hosting SolutionHonestly, rather than asking for which webhost is good, I think you should ask which hosts to avoid instead.
There are a large number of hosts which would satisfy you, but not others and vice versa.
So far I’ve been 1&1, WebAxxs, Bluehost, Dreamhost, and now WebHostingBuzz.
Of my previous hosts, I felt Dreamhost did the best job, the others weren’t up to par.
But then Dreamhost began having a crazy number of outages during the latter part of my stay and I decided not to renew my account and moved house instead.
WebHostingBuzz so far has been good enough.

In reply to: Broken link after uploading files with hash / pound symbolI guess you ignored the part when I indicated that using # specifically would not work with HTML.
Good luck to you.

In reply to: Broken link after uploading files with hash / pound symbolIt’s probably not a good idea to use those kinda of characters for filenames especially when it has significance in HTML.
You’re probably better of renaming those files and using things like “_” instead.

In reply to: Resetting Post ID to ZeroThe number is maintained within MySQL, so I’m guessing that short of dropping the database and recreating it, there really is no way of resetting that number.
If you just enable permalinks, those numbers will not matter.

In reply to: Kubrick theme – removing blog name from headerFor starters, what version of WP are you playing with? For the fact that you are talking about wp-layout.css would indicate that it’s not 1.5 or greater.
If you want to stick with the older version of WP, you probably want to be adding “display:none” to the second instance you found.

In reply to: eek. different colors on different computers!I’m pretty bad with colors, but the sidebar looks peach to me.
The header image is the green you probably intended, and subdued enough that it doesn’t bother me.
If it matters, I’m looking at it on my Dell monitor. I think some colors vary a lot depending on the screen, CRT, laptop or LCD.
