In reply to: Site is causing lockup in IE 6 and IE 7 … sometimesI ran your home page through the W3c.org validator, which came up with a rather large number of errors. Because some of them would seem not to be actual errors, I suspect that there are other errors on the page that are, well, goofing it all up.
I’d suggest validating your code first. If that doesn’t fix the problem, at least it will be out of the way as a possible cause of the problem.

In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionbnek, if your database name is “bneklive_xxx” then that’s the name — not “xxx”. Try that.

In reply to: Question for the WP guru’s?I’ve noticed that the admin panel displays differently depending on the browser I’m using. Are you using the same browser at home and at work?

In reply to: Works proper on Server, but only text when accessed from outsideThis has nothing to do with WordPress per se, but either with your web hosting account or the URLs you’ve entered into WordPress > Options > General.
For example, the CSS file URL is:
http://localhost:80/wordpress/wp-content/themes/default/style.css
Since “localhost” always means one’s own computer, that’s a problem. Your domain name is traveldiscountguides.com, so that should be the URL in WordPress.
If that doesn’t work, please let us know what happens.

In reply to: My blog has diedThat’s a drag. If you search for your site at Google, you may find that Google has cached your pages, and you can save those to recover your text. Here’s the Google search command:
site:yoursite.com
Secondly, can you find any part of your posts in your database dump?

In reply to: Conditional author include on single.phpThanks. Yes, I tried
the_author_ID()— which puts the author’s ID number (and the joe include) after every post regardless of author.Same with
the_author_ID(4). Also tried various author-related tags I could find. The result was that either the thing wouldn’t display at all, or it displayed on every post regardless of author.I’m wondering if this just can’t be done on single.php with author tags. Or whether it needs some sort of nested tags that are beyond what I can do.

Parse error: parse error, unexpected $ in /home/content/r/a/g/ragmagger/html/wp-content/themes/quadruple-blue/quadruple-blue/header.php on line 80I’m wondering why there are two quadruple-blue folders, one within the other … and have you checked what might be on line 80?

In reply to: Alternate Stylesheet for One Page!!!I don’t know about your theme, and I haven’t tested this method of calling stylesheets.
But, assuming that it works, where exactly did you put your style2.css? I ask because “/style2.css” means the file should be located in the root directory of your web hosting account. If you’ve put it in your theme directory, that (the href) part of that line should be something like:
<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/style2.cssbecause “stylesheet_directory” is for anything in your theme directory.

In reply to: vinnyfrombrooklyn.comOkay, and I know that this kind of thing can be a little difficult. Why don’t you try sliding a little shadow under the letters that are overlying the light colors? Might work.

In reply to: SEO ProblemWhich problem are you speaking of?
Changing something on a website does not mean that change will be reflected instantly in search engines. First they have to pick up your pages anew, and then they have to update their databases with the new information. That takes time.

In reply to: Howto do mod redwrite ignoreAh, now I understand.
A lot of us have run into this issue, if WordPress (or, at least, the .htaccess containing the WP mod_rewrite) is in the root directory. I went through a few variations of how to fix this, and the best solution was suggested by a friend. I wrote it up here (ignore the fact that what I was trying to do was password-protect the admin directory; the problem was the same):

In reply to: Author links not CaPitALized right…grr.Sorry I misread your post.
That’s odd. Right now, I haven’t got a clue.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Author links not CaPitALized right…grr.Look in your style.css, in the sidebar area. It’s possible that there’s a style there that says:
text-transform: lowercaseJust take that part out.

In reply to: Where is this at so I can delete it????You’d have to find where that is in WordPress (unfortunately, I don’t know), and then just delete it.
