Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: line breaks and content management systemsOkay.
Hm, that’s odd. Next come the questions about your WP settings, the settings for which are in your WP admin panel at Options > Writing.
I turn off the WYSIWYG thing there, plus the second setting for same which is in My Account (link is to the right of the logo thing).
And I check this: WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically.
I do know that when I just type (X)HTML into the editor, it comes out fine … but then, I’m not using a WYSIWYG editor that would convert angle brackets to other characters.

In reply to: line breaks and content management systemsFirst of all,
<br>is for HTML 4;<br />is for XHTML, which is the level of coding for WordPress blogs.Secondly, I don’t know why, in your case, simply adding a line return — {Enter} — is not working. Two Enters gives me paragraph tags. I’ve been using WordPress since 2004, and that works fine for me. Or, you can just type
, but that also depends on whether you’re using the WYSIWYG editor, which will convert the angle brackets into other characters — which means it won’t be XHTML.So the question is really what *you* are doing to make it not work for you.
Lastly, impatience is one thing; lack of courtesy another; multiple postings of the same question yet another. A little courtesy and consideration goes a long way.

In reply to: Can’t log in after upgradingStrange.
I’d try downloading a new copy of WP2.0.6, and uploading that one page. It could have become corrupted either in the original download, or in your upload to your site.

In reply to: Upgrading from 1.5.1.3 to 2.0.6Hm. I’m not sure what version of WordPress you’re using.
Per moshu’s instructions, did you upload a WP file … and from the correct version?

In reply to: Problems with calendarThe .htaccess code can be written from within WordPress. I’d suggest doing it that way, from within Options > Permalinks.

In reply to: error in wp-admin.css in 2.06 and earlierYou’re right, whooami.
Personally, I take them all out, and put each style on one line so that I can group related styles together and read them quickly. But that’s just me.

In reply to: Blog is gone after upgradingI think the best news here is:
I backed up my database and all my files. I followed the instructions to upgrade (I was on 2.04).
Good on you for that. I’ve been moving or otherwise futzing with databases for the last two weeks (WordPress and a shopping cart). It appears that sometimes something can Just Go Wrong.
Worst case scenario is that you restore your earlier WordPress files (and, if the database changed in the upgrade — the answer to which is “I don’t know” — the earlier database), make sure that your blog is functioning properly, and then start again.
I’m going to guess that there’s some detail in here that we’ve missed, but it’s hard to guess what that might be. And, if all else fails, it might be easier to start over.
But I’ll say that I had a problem with the earlier version of Akismet (prior to 2.0.6). To be honest, I don’t know if it’s changed; all I know is that the file dates are different.

In reply to: just want to add comments to my existing blogAha. Good tip, tamebay.

In reply to: WP Loses ThemeAha.
Or, as my programmer said, “Welcome to the wonderful world of databases.” 🙂
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WP 2.0.6 Errors after UpgradingOdd. If you’ve got your original database backup, I’d simply dump the database tables and import the backup, then upload the old WP files so that your blog is restored. Then start the upgrade again.
Stuff happens. One blinks. And things can go wrong. 🙂

In reply to: WPG2 Plugin ProblemHere’s another tip: if you unzip a .zip file, you’ll see every file all in one the window. If you then extract the .zip file to a folder, it will give you the proper file hierarchy, including the folders and files that should be in them.

In reply to: My suggestions for WordPress.org/DOCSThe visited links thing is a good idea, however. I’ve been making that change on some sites, as it’s (in my opinion) a choice between good design and user-friendliness.

In reply to: Upgrading from 1.5.1.3 to 2.0.6I upgraded a number of blogs from 1.5.3 to 2.0.5 without a problem, and without having to upgrade to intermediate versions of WordPress.
Just — as you would with anything else — make sure you back up both your database and your WordPress files first. Caution is a good practice. 🙂

In reply to: WP 2.0.6 Errors after UpgradingI’m going to guess that the cache was from an earlier version of WordPress.
It also helps, when you’re uploading the 2.0.6 files, to delete the earlier versions (except for the ones listed in the Codex upgrade page). I’d never experienced it before yesterday, but some files may not get properly overwritten when FTPing, and thus the suggestion to delete the earlier files.

In reply to: WP Loses ThemeHas that always happened, or did you do something just before it started?
