And not only that, it’s a total different Navbar which is probably where the “About & “Help” section goes. * In Post -> Categories. I can delete all the categories that I’ve made, but when I hover over blog, it will not give me the option to delete it. * Not sure about this one. I just need to find the correct php file and exclude that category/blog id. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Setting up permalinks in WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/setting-up-permalinks-in-wordpress/) * Thread Starter [dlack](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dlack/) * (@dlack) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/setting-up-permalinks-in-wordpress/#post-2209925) * Hey Kmessinger… * You’re right, you’re NOT supposed to use the server as a means of editing your blog. I have total access to everything from my main laptop now and it is FINALLY seeking in deep when working with WP hosted on your own server. I didn’t really have a big problem as I thought I did. I just needed to change the URL and it’s all good now. 🙂 * You learn something everyday when you’re playing with new toys. 🙂 * Thanks for your help, I really appreciated it! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Setting up permalinks in WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/setting-up-permalinks-in-wordpress/) * Thread Starter [dlack](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dlack/) * (@dlack) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/setting-up-permalinks-in-wordpress/#post-2209920) * Thanks again for the help Kmessinger! * This is too funny, I went into the “general” settings to put “www.insidetechwired. com/wordpress” for the HOME and URL and NOW it displays correctly on my client machine, BUT now since I changed [http://localhost/wordpress](http://localhost/wordpress) to [http://www.insidetechwired.com/wordpress](http://www.insidetechwired.com/wordpress), it won’t allow me to access the dashboard to log in AND it’s doing exactly the opposite. Now my Server won’t display the pages correctly AND because of that, I CAN’T access the dashboard because it thinks the database is down. Hmmmm isn’t there a way I can configure that in the wp-config.php file? * Here is the set-up * define(‘DB_NAME’, ‘wordpress’); * /** MySQL database username */ define(‘DB_USER’, ‘root’); * /** MySQL database password */ define(‘DB_PASSWORD’, ‘my password’); * /** MySQL hostname */ define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); * /** Database Charset to use in creating database tables. */ define(‘DB_CHARSET’,‘ utf8’); * /** The Database Collate type. Don’t change this if in doubt. */ define(‘DB_COLLATE’,”); * Using localhost shouldn’t be of a problem. I’m using a loop-back IP address for the server. * Thanks again, you’ve been helpful! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Setting up permalinks in WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/setting-up-permalinks-in-wordpress/) * Thread Starter [dlack](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dlack/) * (@dlack) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/setting-up-permalinks-in-wordpress/#post-2209915) * Here you go Kmessinger: * [http://www.insidetechwired.com/wordpress/](http://www.insidetechwired.com/wordpress/) * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Setting up permalinks in WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/setting-up-permalinks-in-wordpress/) * Thread Starter [dlack](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dlack/) * (@dlack) * [14 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/setting-up-permalinks-in-wordpress/#post-2209899) * Thank for the info Kmesssinger. * I read the article and I still feel dumbfounded. I have looked over the proper way of stetting up permalink and have made sure that the rewrite module has been installed. Pretty much everything is set up correctly but I guess I’m having a hard time understanding the file structure on the drive. Do I still leave all the WordPress files in their perspective folders when first installed, or do I have to move those files as well to the proper directories after setting up permalink? Could you give me an example? * Also, I’ve noticed that I can’t view the blog themes on another computer properly. It’s like it can’t find the CSS location and image isn’t showing up in the header. All the themes load find on the server though. * Thanks for the help! Viewing 5 replies - 1 through 5 (of 5 total)
