The lines must be in your CSS somewhere – looks like you have a border set for the list items or the links. I’d just do a selector for the menu (whatever the div ID is) and set it to border:0. As for moving it – that depends on where you want to move it to. if it’s floating, just change the float:right to float:left. If it’s positioned, just mess with the pixel values.

Have you tried deactivating and reactivating your plugins to see which one makes this happen? Sounds to me like a plugin issue (you updated your plugins, and then the .htaccess thing happened again).

FTP isn’t something to be feared. All it is is basically opening a directory or file, just like you do on your computer. The only difference is you’re accessing it on another “computer” elsewhere, so you need a secure connection to access and change it. not a big deal. There’s lots of FTP programs out there if you don’t have one. My personal favorite is Filezilla, and you can set it up to show “hidden” files (like .htaccess).

What I’d do is FTP in, create a new folder in your plugins directory, drag all your plugins into it (this will deactivate all of them), then rename my .htaccess file to “.htaccessBAK”. You should be able to gain entry into your site, and all your plugins will be deactivated. Go back to FTP, drag all of your plugins out of the temporary folder and back into the plugins directory, and then you should be able to activate them one at a time and see which one messes everything up.

Not through email. Email relies on the connections between servers and the lines between them. If you want something immediate, I’d just log into your WordPress site and post – it’ll be immediate then. When you go via the email route, you have to send it, server does it’s thing, sends it on – maybe passes through a couple of servers (that do the same thing) before it hits your host’s server, which does it’s thing before it’ll post Ass an example, I live on the east coast, but the server my host is on – this my email – is on the west coast. Anytime I email anything, it goes through my ISP here on the east coast, gets sent across the country with i don’t know how many hops, then has to get sent back across the country so I can see it via other connections.) *Anything* can mess with the connections between that. Bad weather, bad mole digging and chewing through a wire he shouldn’t, etc. If immediacy is *required*, just log in and post directly from the back end. I have my iPhone set up with my back end as a bookmark. Click, log in, post, done.

That’s really weird that you have to call the file directly. I don’t think you’d *have* to do that. Have you contacted your host about it?

What are your settings? (under settings > writing) Have you put in the email addres,s username and password? Are you sure the host uses 100 (the default) as the port for posting via email? Have you read the guide in the docs to see if there’s any suggestions there you haven’t tried yet?

you have to change the “publish” date on the posts. If you’ve already moved them to the WordPress site, you can either go through them one at a time and change the published date, or you can do an SQL export and go through the file and change the dates, then re-import.

You need to edit the wp-config.php file to the correct database settings for your localhost installation. (I’d recommend also saving the old file as a backup for the live site)
