In reply to: how do I fix 404 errors on js filesThanks. I just checked and lowstream site is now back up. Seems they had server problems and I couldn’t get hold of them for several weeks. Will check with them now concerning theme specific problems. Thank you for help.
Will call problem resolved, insofar as this end of it goes.

In reply to: Lowstream theme – using Navigation and/or Pagesfound the codex. figured it out.
For anyone else with same difficulty: the codex on customizing the sidebar has an entry on how to get the header to not show up, and it worked for me.
Now, just working on how to modify this whole ‘navigation’ with it’s php echo get_source code .

In reply to: Problems with lowstream themeI still have a problem with the sidebar concerning the pages, but I think I need to start a new thread. So, in view of the fact that my original issues were resolved, and now I have found new ones, I will close this thread (on my part anyway), and look for answers for my other problem through the forums.

In reply to: Problems with lowstream themeI was somewhat premature in posting my sidebar issues as ‘resolved’.
The original Lowstream theme did not include a sidebar listing for ‘pages’. It was Navigation, Archives, and Meta, I believe.
I added the changes that you had suggested (get links and get pages), and now Links do show up, and also Pages.
However, now I have a style problem. If I simply add the php code to ‘get_pages’, I get the pages, but the head for ‘Pages’is not the same format as all the other headings.
If I include the code <h2>Pages></h2> in the place where I add the php code, I get the header ‘Pages’ in the same format as all the other headings, but then I also get ‘Pages’ listed again under it in the ‘other’ format.
I do not know how I should go about amending this.
Presently the sidebar as it concerns pages looks somewhat like this:
Pages (in the Lowstream format)
Pages(in the other format)

In reply to: Problems with lowstream themeThank you once again spencer. I’ve heard some things when I was reading through the forums about being hacked and even sites being hijacked that I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t leaving out a welcome mat. Mind is set at ease, thank you once again for all your help.

In reply to: Problems with lowstream themeThank you once again spencer. I changed the files on my own computer and then uploaded them and the changes took place and all is well.
I have another question, if you don’t mind. In the META directory on the blog is a link to “Site Admin”, that if I access my site by typing in my url, still allows me to access the Dashboard and do whatever I want to do.
Can anyone do this, and if so, how do I eliminate that problem? Would like people to be able to comment (moderated first) but not have wholesale access to do whatever they want.

In reply to: Problems with lowstream themeThank you spencer for the code and for the insight.
I am trying to add the code but can you tell me how? I have tried to make the change thru the Themes Editor in WordPress and all I can get is “if this file were editable . . .”
I have tried to change it thru the file manager on my site, but even though I can type in the change, save the file and hit “refresh” the changes are not made in the file.
I checked the permissions for the file (I remembered something about this). They were set as 644, so I even tried changing the permission to 666 (would this be right?) and tried to make the change, but this did not work either. I changed the file permission back to 644, and so I am back at square one.
I’ve got my answer, but I can’t do anything with it.

In reply to: Problems with lowstream themeJust an another addon:
I realized that I did not make a note that I left the content type as RAW because I did not know what it was, and that I did not understand name/title so I left it blank, and now the url is:

In reply to: different url for homepage?Thank you for your speedy reply. My head is spinning with trying to figure things out, and I might not have explained my problem as well as I explained what I want to do.
My site server serves up my own pages without a problem. And my blog works without any hitches so far as well. However, I have my pages, and I have my blog and I do not understand how to connect them.
What I was hoping to do was just to set up a link on the second of my own intro pages that links to my blog, and from thereafter, the blog itself would do all my navigation (?!right?)~ I do understand how to set up the links and link categories and how to use the pages within WordPress, which is where all the other pages would be done.

In reply to: different url for homepage?I am having a similar problem/situation. I have a hosted site, and in that site I have two pages that are the lead-ins to my blog. The first page has been set as my home page, and it links only to the second page and I want the second page to link only to my blog, and for the blog to be used thereafter for the rest of my site, so that all navigation thereafter is done thru the blog. How would I set this up?
