In reply to: Can’t change WordPress Address URLgarfonhdz,
You will still need to read through the Moving WordPres instructions. The issue is that it appears you have not changed your WordPress URL and Blog URL before pointing to the new domain. There is a fix for this on the instruction page.
We understand that you may not be an expert and it’s okay.
“It is important that you set the URI locations BEFORE you move the files.
Suppose you accidentally moved the files before you changed the URIs: you have two options.
OPTION 1. Suppose the files were originally in /path/to/old/ and you moved them to /path/to/new before changing the URIs. The way to fix this would be to make /path/to/old/ a symlink (for Windows users, “symlink” is equivalent to “shortcut”) to /path/to/new/, i.e.
ln -s /path/to/new /path/to/oldand then follow the steps above as normal. Afterwards delete the symlink if you want.
OPTION 2.If you forget to change the WordPress Address and Blog Address, you will be unable to change it using the wordpress interface. However, you can fix it if you have access to the database. Go to the database of your blog and find the wp_options table. This table stores all the options that you can set in the interface. The WordPress Address and Blog Address are stored as siteurl and home (the option_name field). All you have to do is change the option_value field to the correct URL for the records with option_name=’siteurl‘ or option_name=’home‘.
You’re done. Test your site to make sure that it works right. If the change involves a new address for your blog, make sure you let people know the new address, and consider adding some redirection instructions in your .htaccess file to guide visitors to the new location.”
All of this information and more is available through the link above.

In reply to: Increase line spacing in theme via CSSjust4lolz,
The issue stems from the use of:
* { margin: 0; padding: 0; }But can be corrected then by controlling the margin and padding on your paragraph tags. In this case increase the bottom padding here:
.wpn_news .wpn_post p { line-height: 18px; padding-bottom: 5px; /* Increase this number */ }This should take care of this specific paragraph style.

Did you move the files to the new domain directory following the WordPress walkthrough: http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress? This details everything necessary for a successful move. Let us know.

In reply to: how to remove “written by…” from a postexpertsig,
Well, you would want to maintain the get_header and get_footer, they do what they say literally getting the header and footer since the index.php is only the body.

Can you be a little more specific?

Visit Appearance > Editor and modify the code in the Index.php file (Main Index Template) assuming that your front page is the index.php.

In reply to: Disabling a Blog?jlearmonth,
If you are looking for something to temporarily disable the blog try Wartungsmodus: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/wartungsmodus. It’s German for Maintenance Mode in case you were curious, but it is very flexible in that you can set up the temporary page to be anything you would like.

In reply to: Dreadful Permalinksnickaster,
You could always alter the permalink when creating a new post using the permalink field just under the title.

In reply to: Blog Archive added to page titles?jenniferhh,
This information is commonly placed in the <title> tag within the header.php file. Here is an example of what you will be looking for:
<title><?php bloginfo(’name’); ?> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> » Blog Archive <?php } ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>Remove this section:
<?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> » Blog Archive <?php } ?>Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: front page problemtorinschmitt,
Go ahead and answer the above questions. WordPress, like any web site defaults to the index page, whether it is a .php or .html. You can try setting the Front Page and Post Page back to “- Select” But without knowing what you are doing this is a little difficult to answer.

In reply to: Changing my Blog text for an Image?GiorgioMartini,
Like SpankMarvin says post the rest of the header.php code if it exists. Otherwise the code I reference above must be located within each body page. Check the opening code for index.php.

In reply to: Changing my Blog text for an Image?GiorgioMartini,
Of course this is possible. Open the header.php and find the following code:
<div class="span-24 header"> <h1 class="name"> <a href="http://tweakingknobs.com">TweakingKnobs</a> </h1> <span class="slogan">Electronic Graphics and Computer Music</span> </div>then replace with something such as:
<div class="span-24 header"> <img src="http://www.mysite.com/wp-content/themes/default/images/myImage.jpg"> </div>Forum: Fixing WordPress
