In reply to: Turn off Commentalchymyth – I found the section you referred to thanks however it is not this…
In another website I run under version 3.1.0 when I edit a page, underneath the main text area are options such as ‘Custom Fields’, ‘Turn off Comments’, ‘Allow Trackback and Pingbacks’ and now all these options have disappeared so I am unable to create a page in WordPress 3.1.1 without someone being able to comment on it…!!!

In reply to: Turn off Commentalchymyth… your reply confuses me even more…
If I go to the ‘Pages’ option on the menu, there is no ‘screen options, if I select a single page to edit, there are no ‘screen options’ and if I even select ‘edit’ and open up the page to edit it, there are no ‘screen options”
Tell me sir please – where the hell are these ‘screen’ options you refer to lol…!!

In reply to: Not Logging In….Thejas, actually it was NOT a wordpress problem, the first sign of something more serious was when it happened on another website I host, then both started giving me PHP Violition Errors.
Further investigation revealed a corrupted .dll file on the server, so rather than try and correct it, as it was an older version of PHP, I installed the latest version and all problems solved… nearly!
It still would not recognise my password, but this time it allowed me use the ‘forgotten’ password option and sent me the link to change it.
Appreciate your assistance anyway, thank you.

In reply to: My WordPress 3.0 is Hacked! ……This is normally caused by a rogue file that has been downloaded to your PC, have not seen it for years but good Anti-Virus software should detect and delete it….

In reply to: WordPress Is EXTREMLEY slow!It may actually be nothing to do with WORDPRESS but more simply due to the fact you are using a shared server on GODADDY which to be honest is not be the best service in the world.
The company that hosts my server gives me a load time that all the stats say is 86% faster than most sites..

In reply to: Index.php QueryEsmi, apparently sometimes the URL’s get boogered on install, the fix was told to me by sambol..
http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL
I used the 2nd method on the page which is to add these two lines to the functions.php file in the default scheme, immediately after the initial “<?php” line.
update_option(‘siteurl’,’http://example.com/blog’);
update_option(‘home’,’http://example.com/blog’);Uploaded via FTP, logged out and then logged back into the site, hey presto, schema found then you go back and REMOVE the two lines.

In reply to: Error message on install of /wp-admin/install.phpA couple of steps to follow from the intall procedure…
Make sure the wp-config.php is correctly edited and uploaded to the root directory on the server.
Entries needed are:
DB_name
DB_username
DB_password.‘localhost’ will be fine in most cases, you can enter the IP address to test it.
