  • You can replace the header image in header.php, but I’m wondering whether you’ve actually uploaded it?

    These look awfully nice. Well done!

    Hm. I’m not sure what “everything else” is that returns at 500 server error.

    Is the blog set (in the admin panel) to be off root?

    I don’t understand this:

    it keeps on automatically erasing the content in the sidebar.php file

    Is WordPress not displaying your sidebar, or is something actually deleting the contents of the sidebar (so that when you open sidebar.php, there’s nothing in it)?

    I’m wondering if your index.php actually calls sidebar.php.

    Lastly, I’d also look at sidebar.php. Without inspecting it minutely, I see what looks like an error:

    <div class="sidebar">
    "><h2><?php echo $parent_title; ?> </h2>

    See the closing quote and angle bracket before the h2? That may be causing problems.

    I think you might have to use the same email address as is listed for you as a user in the control panel.

    Otherwise, what version of WordPress are you using?

    Jane, I’m thinking there’s something wrong with the way you’re coding the links. And what looks like a link in your first post above apparently isn’t.

    The coding for a link is this:

    <a href="http://somesite.com">some text</a>

    That said, if the rich-text editor is converting your code, then you’d get this, which is not a link (although the forum software is converting the code to a left angle bracket, but you get the idea):

    <a href=&quot;http://somesite.com&quot;&rt;some text</a&rt;

    I believe there are a couple of areas to turn off the rich text editor in your control panel (and you have to do both); I know that one’s in Options.

    Don’t know what may be causing problems with users; are you referring to people leaving comments?

    I would leave the robots.txt file; I’ll assume it’s okay if Yahoo has picked up the site.

    My url is both urbantrash.co.za and trashmedia.co.za (for those who want to help me a bit).

    That’s a problem. You can *use* both domain names, but one has to point to the other. If you have *one* site, and it can be reached by both domains — without one domain pointing to the other — it’s very likely that at least some search engines will see that as two sites (because they can’t tell otherwise) and may give you problems about it because generally none of them like to see the same sets of pages at multiple domains; it just looks like you copied your site somewhere else. The first clue is your site has dropped out of sight on Google; although it’s still there … it’s just buried.

    However, if you make one domain the main one, and redirect the second domain to the first, they’ll be able to distinguish … and visitors will see the change in their browsers’ address bar.

    Search the Web for .htaccess and mod_rewrite and redirect and you should be able to come up with something.

    Hm. Did you add a trailing slash to your permalinks setup?

    Sorry for the delay.

    Instead of doing this:

    <img src="image.jpg" width="175" height="232" vspace="5" hspace="5" />

    Try this:

    <img src="image.jpg" style="width:175px; height:232px; margin-left:5px; margin-bottom:5px" />

    See, this just uses more modern coding than the old vspace/hspace stuff.

    That said, if you view the source code of the page where you’re having trouble, you could find out if the rich text editor (if you’re using it) is convering spaces to &quot;. That could also be it.

    Thanks. Unfortunately, Galleryo is in Italian. <sigh>

    Sorry for the delay.

    That sounds odd. I’d suggest contacting your web host.

    By the way, even if you use the “hover” to remove the underline from a link, it’s still a link.

    I believe there’s both a code view and a visual editor — but they are not in the same window.

    Yes, that is “hover”.

    To remove it, locate hover specification for your sidebar in your style.css, and make the hover state the same as the link state. It’s probably something like this:

    a {color:#fff; text-decoration:underline}
    a:hover {color:#fff; text-decoration:underline}
