In reply to: How do I edit a post outside of wordpress?“Are you saying you want to be able to manually write posts and then upload them when you have an internet connection again? That’s not possible. Everything is stored in the database and although you can download the database you can’t type posts directly into it. I’d suggest you just write your posts in notepad and save them and then copy and paste them over when you can :)”
I, too, want to write posts offline – in my case I want to edit several and, with satellite connection, that takes a long time. I had looked through my WordPress backup file on a text editor and found all the posts I want to edit. Is there any reason why I shouldn’t copy the current .sql database file into a text editor, make the changes and copy it back again?
It would then follow that I could, possibly, write posts into it.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Comment form does not clear author name/email/urlPlease ignore all of the above. Checked my Firefox security settings, which had been set to remove cookies when Firefox was closed down and during some ugrading it had reset itself to keeping all cookies.
Deleted the lot which immediately fixed my problem! Now all I have to do is resolve the cookie question, but can stop peering at lines of incomprehensible code.
Thankyou, samboll, o genius. Only wish I’d asked 10 hours ago.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Comment form does not clear author name/email/url“got my WP template integrated into my website:”
WordPress loads into an iframe on my home page. The temporary home page I’m using to test things until this is all fixed is:
http://www.elizabethdoidge.com/index2.html“Comments use cookies. As long as WP thinks the same user is their it does not reset. Log out and view and you won’t see this.”
I closed the computer down, went and did some shopping, cooked and ate tea, turned it on again, went to the address above without logging in to WordPress and the name was still showing as ‘me’ and the address as ‘liz@elizabethdoidge.com’. I have asked a friend to test it from her computer but the site was busy!!
