Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Upgrade failedAh, sorry. I missed the part where you removed the installation. Does that mean you deleted it from the server, or just did something via a control panel — and, if so, did you confirm that the files were gone?

In reply to: Upgrade failedwebsage, did you delete the WordPress files on the server according to the WordPress Codex Upgrade Instructions before you uploaded the new ones?
I ask because obviously something is going wrong here, and it helps to track down exactly what you did beyond “trying to upgrade” — that just isn’t enough information.
One place where upgrading goes wrong is failing to delete the old files on the server first. I wouldn’t have believed that one really needed to do that until I had a problem; deleting the files before uploading corrected the error.

In reply to: fatal error re 2.07 wp-includes/functions.php on line 2365Yes — but just the files mentioned here:

In reply to: fatal error re 2.07 wp-includes/functions.php on line 2365I uploaded only the six files suggested by Mark Jaquith, then ran upgrade.php, which I’m not sure I had to do.
Result: six blogs all upgraded; no problems whatsoever. But … these were WP 2.0.6 blogs. As stated by Mark at the above link:
Because this is a much smaller update than previous versions, you do not have to update all of WordPress’ files if you’re upgrading from version 2.0.6.
Anyway. Just thought this might help some folks.

In reply to: fatal error re 2.07 wp-includes/functions.php on line 2365Dickie, would you mean the 2.0.7 functions-formatting.php?
And does one have to run upgrade.php? The instructions are a bit sparse on this one.

In reply to: fatal error re 2.07 wp-includes/functions.php on line 2365Thanks; that’s good information for the rest of us.

In reply to: After upgrade, Categories AND Comments read ZEROI did several 1.5-to-2.0.6 upgrades last weekend, pretty much without problems.
This may be a stupid question, but did you (a) delete all but the necessary files (e.g., config.php) and (b) run upgrade.php?

In reply to: DupPrevent Plugin and Duplicate Content PenaltyNo; I’ve always remove the duplicate issues from my themes (since starting with WordPress in 2004).
I just remove the_content from archives and category pages, which gives you a nice easily-scannable “table of contents” approach.
In my view, it’s a usability issue as well. Say you have two posts in a category; duplicate content issues aside, it’s one thing to have those two posts displaying in full on the category page. But if you have 52 posts in a category? That would be rather overwhelming — and it would be difficult to scan down the page to see what you might like to read. However, later versions of WordPress display only 5(?) posts on the archive pages (with before/after links), which I think is quite confusing to the visitor (giving a “where am I?” feel to it). So I use Matt Read’s Custom Query String to enable WordPress to display a list of *all* posts in each category … which, in my case, are usually just titles and, possibly, the_excerpt.
Anyway. Hope some of this is helpful to you.

In reply to: Padding different in IE and FirefoxWelcome to the world of cross-browser problems. 🙁
Since your blog is 1.5x, I’m guessing that it’s going to be pretty easy.

In reply to: bullets with the sidebar widgetCorrect. Those appear to be generated by this in the stylesheet:
.entry ul li:before, #sidebar ul ul li:before {
content: "0BB 020";
}

In reply to: Trackbacks not sending in WP 2.0.6How do you mean “a complete reinstall”? Does deleting the WP files, uploading the 2.0.6 files, and running upgrade.php not cause trackbacks to work?
