Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Moving WordPress from One Server to antherMoshu is right: a .sql file is a database. I’m not sure how you “installed” it, but my guess is that it wasn’t done correctly.
I’d remove it from the server (so that someone else doesn’t download it).
And, if you don’t know how to import a .sql database, I’d ask your designer for help; it’s not exactly for the faint-hearted.

In reply to: help please! I’m lost…….Are you sure that users are seeing the edit link? Or just you?
If you’re logged in to your blog, then you’ll see the link. People not logged in will not see it — including you.

In reply to: Bold Fonts – No ReasonI’m not sure what (actually, where) you mean when you say that you have “no option set for bold”. If the posts are displaying in bold, then it’s set somewhere.
Look in your style.css file; I’ll bet it’s in there.

In reply to: Whoops! All my links are gone.I would grab a new copy of the theme and upload it over the old one … or just compare it to what you have now. That would be the easiest method of determining what you removed (that you need).

In reply to: Moving host AND upgrading 1.5.2 to 2.2 at same timeAnd what Dgold said.
There could be differences in the server setup that you might confuse with WordPress issues, which would only complicate things.

In reply to: Convert HTML to CSS code from Amazon> So i guess i need to convert HTML to CSS code. so how do i do this please? is there a tool to do this?
I doubt that you need to convert HTML to CSS; CSS is just what is used to enhance the display (and sometimes the physical position) of the HTML.
> and it does nothing.
That’s not much of a description to go on. <grin> Do you mean it doesn’t display at all? If not, you need to get the code working before you work on the display.
Forum: Developing with WordPress
In reply to: Where does WP Post?Sounds like you’re going to have to tie the databases together.
Well, display has to do with design, rather than functionality. You can always update the design to your heart’s content.
There are also: vBulletin and IPB forums, although those aren’t free.

In reply to: htaccess and index.php/directoriesThis isn’t a template issue; it’s a WordPress settings issue. Go to:
Options > Permalinks
and create the settings you wish.

In reply to: Categories are not createdIt’s okay; people normally just say that something didn’t work, so one has to follow up.
Glad it worked for you — good job!
Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Which WordPress?Okay. I would use something like WebStripper to download all pages of the site, although that might take some juice from your web server … but at least you’d have everything.
I pretty much use databasedumps; however, where the database is pretty large, it’s probably safest to SSH into the server to do it manually. If you don’t know what that is, perhaps you can get someone to help you.

In reply to: Which WordPress?Shari, it’s not a big problem to upgrade to 2.0.10, especially given that you’ve just upgraded and lived to tell the tale. 🙂
At any rate, I saw your blog post where you were considering doing a backup (text file?) of your site. I may not understand what you meant by that, but it’s always extremely helpful (and comforting) to have a copy of your website files and of the database (databasedump) on hand. Too many copies is better than none at all.

In reply to: .htaccess password admin directory – failureSorry for the late posting, but perhaps this will help someone else. When moving to a new server, I ran into the same problem — the password protection that worked on the earlier server suddenly didn’t work here.
With a lot of help, I discovered the solution. It’s due to the .htaccess in the root directory (this doesn’t happen if your blog is in a subdirectory). It’s long, so I posted it here:

In reply to: Categories are not created> when you click on the post categories they do not work
Thanks. For the future, it’s better to explain what happens rather than saying something does not work; it’s just not enough information.
At any rate, since you’re using the “prettified” URLs (at least, that’s what we used to call them around here), you absolutely will need an .htaccess file. Create one in a text editor (not word processor), upload it, and re-save your Permalink Options:
Options > Permalinks
Then check your .htaccess file on the server; if WP hasn’t written some code into it, just copy the code from the Customize Permalink Structure page into it and upload it again.

In reply to: Css problems, how to avoid borders for smiliesThe CSS code looks okay (what you’re looking for is the “border:none”), but you’re going to have to do something a little extra when you use a smiley:
<img src=”path/to/smiley.gif” class=”wp-smiley”>
That applies the wp-smiley class (CSS code) to the smiley image. Otherwise, the display will default to the bordered image.
