In reply to: Can't access admin panel and want to upgradeHere are manual update instructions that will not require you to login to your wordpress. So long you have the FTP access (to backup and update) to get the MySQL information from wp-config.php to login to phpMyAdmin to back a backup of database.

In reply to: Add a video posting thing to admin menuI have seen plugins apply custom fields that are always there and ready to use below the editor (dont have to keep choosing field drop down and add) and then store in its own db table. But I haven’t done this myself or looked for a tutorial.

In reply to: How to stop WordPress raping my HTML?Is it a custom theme you may be missing the basic CSS that applies to the editors alignments.
http://pastebin.com/raw.php?i=1ApFGJwD (taken from TwentyTen theme, assumes you have a #content ID. otherwise change/remove it in CSS)
As for line breaks TinyMCE Advanced has option to stop removing line breaks and paragraph tags in addition to providing more editor buttons/features.

In reply to: Link on blog headerThis plugin will allow you to create a page and have it redirect somewhere. This way your link is a page within the menu.
However the new menu system in WP 3 also allows you to also create links within your menu.

In reply to: What's the login link for contributors?Register: http://www.name.com/wp-login.php?action=register
http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_registerEveryone logs into the same place.
You can also just directly link to here
http://www.name.com/wp-login.phpOr copy paste all the
<form>code from the login page into a custom page.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Add a video posting thing to admin menuOne way is to have a Video posts category and use custom fields to paste the video embed or video link. So you can pull videos from that category and they will be organized and tagged like posts if needed.
Post a title, maybe a description in the editor, then the link/embed in the custom field. Creating a custom page template or other code you can pull that data separately (title, post, video, etc) to style how you like.
Or put an if statement in the Loop that if the post contains a custom field for video display it differently.

In reply to: Changing login locationYou could copy paste the whole login form into a text widget as well. Even change the hidden redirect field to redirect to front of site instead of admin after login.
<form name="loginform" id="loginform" action="http://YOURDOMAIN.com/wp-login.php" method="post"> <p> <label>Username<br /> <input type="text" name="log" id="user_login" class="input" value="" size="20" tabindex="10" /></label> </p> <p> <label>Password<br /> <input type="password" name="pwd" id="user_pass" class="input" value="" size="20" tabindex="20" /></label> </p> <p class="forgetmenot"><label><input name="rememberme" type="checkbox" id="rememberme" value="forever" tabindex="90" /> Remember Me</label></p> <p class="submit"> <input type="submit" name="wp-submit" id="wp-submit" class="button-primary" value="Log In" tabindex="100" /> <input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="http:/YOURDOMAIN.com/wp-admin/" /> <input type="hidden" name="testcookie" value="1" /> </p> </form>Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Can't login with IE with forwarded domainutopiarose.com is setup as a mask to heldwhat.com. It is loading in an iframe. This is probably what is causing the issue. If it is setup as a Foward redirect then people will be sent to heldwhat and can properly browse while on heldwhat.
It looks like utopiarose is on godaddy. Use “Forward Only” without masking.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Quotes surrounding urls in links converted to question marksOk, see the curly quotes on the sites source. Can you paste the part of your theme that is displaying titles?
Is it just titles or are their other links from wordpress doing it too?
It looks like only titles and the titles in the previous post links. Menu and Links are fine.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Blog site not workingIt is common when you first setup a domain in dreamhost that sometimes it may say
error id: "bad_httpd_conf". If it keeps doing it you can submit a ticket to dreamhost. This error message is somewhat unique to their system. It may take a few hours for all the DNS information to filter through the internet. Its working for me.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: 'Read More' appearing but not in editorThis theme has a custom
Custom read moresetting in the Appearance > Theme Options. (according to the theme code) Making it have no text might be a simple fix. But I haven’t found in the theme files where you can changed its behavior as you might still want to show it on excerpts.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Link to information sourceWhen you type a post, at the end you can click the Link icon in the editor. The button of a small chainlink. You can then make text and url and tell it to open in a new window.
If you need a special popup window post an example if you have one.
