Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Adding an author pictureOkay. Have you tried:
<img src="<?php get_bloginfo('home'); ?>/wp-content/images/authors/<?php the_author_ID();?>Also, are you sure that your image is named correct? Can you access the image directly at the URL via a browser?

In reply to: Not valid XHTML and 214 errorsSorry; I should add that you can turn off “Smart Quotes” (the curly quotes and apostrophe) in Word and then cut/paste the text into WordPress — that will give you decent results without the gibberish that you can see in your code.
However, converting to HTML in Word will give you a problem.

In reply to: Not valid XHTML and 214 errorsOne thing I’d highly recommend is not pre-writing your blog posts in a word processor (like Word) and/or converting it to HTML before posting it on the blog.
That just adds a lot of gibberish and extra code that will, for certain, not validate.

In reply to: Adding an author pictureSo long as you’ve input the code you’ve specified above in the theme that you’re using, then it (theoretically) shouldn’t matter.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Server vs OS?Leslie, just FYI, the operating system you run on your own computer does not have to be the same (or “compatible”) with the OS on your web hosting server.
Many people have Windows computers are home or work, but use web servers that run Linux, Unix, etc. It’s a non-problem.

In reply to: Akismet Blocking my own commentsAnd now I’m having this problem on a blog we just launched. Ridiculous.

In reply to: Cannot open blog pageWHOA! By the way, you just published your database username and password for all the world to see, so you’re leaving your web hosting account open to be hacked.
I’d suggest remove that from your post and get your web host to reset the username and password.

In reply to: Cannot open blog pageOne thing at a time. 🙂
> and when I attempt to open the wp.admin/install.php page for this site I receive a page cannot be found.
That means you’re trying to access a page that your server cannot find, meaning that it isn’t there. Are you sure that you uploaded it, or that you’re looking in the right place? I notice, particularly, that the install.php file is in wp-admin/install.php — that’s a dash after “wp”, not a dot.

In reply to: Link not working in Firefox??I just noticed something else:
.WP-EmailIcon { float: right; display: block; z-index: 3; }I’d remove the z-index from the class.

In reply to: Link not working in Firefox??Hm; it doesn’t work in Opera either.
That’s interesting. Essentially, you have an image inside a link:
<a href="http://site.com"><img class="WP-EmailIcon" src="http://site.com/email.gif"" /></a>And you’re floating the image but not the link that contains the image. Apparently FF and Opera are reading this as “the link is here and the image is there”.
Try applying your float to the link (a href) instead of to the image; that should do it.

In reply to: Pages are disappearingGlad you didn’t actually lose anything, and that it was just a program that was displaying the website differently than it really was.
Not sure what it was accellerating there, beyond a limited version of your website.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: I submitted my plugin request 2 months agoActually, these forums are manned by volunteers; I don’t think it’s a place where you can ask anyone to create software for you and *expect* a result (unless someone volunteers to do it).
If someone did volunteer, did you ask that person what’s happening?

In reply to: Download trackingYour web host may provide a stats program; I would check with them. If they do, you may be able to check the names of your download files (or URLs) to see how many times they’ve been downloaded.

In reply to: Mod Rewrite Conflicting with other .htaccess filesInteresting stuff. I’ve recently moved a bunch of blogs from FreeBSD hosting to Linux hosting.
Previously, I could password protect their admin directories and access them without problems. That’s also true on the new server (which, in addition to the switch to Linux, likely has updated versions of PHP and other software) — unless the WP blog is in the site root.
I’ve found solutions that work *sometimes* but not always (I even posted one on one of my blogs, but it’s a “sometimes” solution). We’ll keep working on this until we find an answer, or determine that it just won’t work.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: How Do I change the headerAh, you’ll need to edit the theme you’re using (in wp-content/themes) — specifically, the header.php — to use the header image you wish. Just edit the header.php and upload it to your server.
