In reply to: Trying to Delete Parent CategoryIf it has no checkbox, it’s probably the default, so you can’t delete it. not unless you set another category as the default (in the settings). Alternatively, you can just rename it.

In reply to: Problem with local installationHave you tried disabling all of the plugins? I know you can’t get into the back-end, but if you move the plugins file, then it should have some effect (if the plugins are what’s causing it). Just move the plugins, and if you can get in, then you’ll know it’s one of them. Add them back in one at a time and see which one is the culprit 🙂

In reply to: The loop – getting rid of the paragraphThere’s several solutions. Your simplest would be to add classes to your category layout.
<?php the_post() ?> <?php query_posts('category_name=Showcase'); ?> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <div class="catlink"> <?php the_content() ?> </div> <?php wp_tag_cloud(''); ?> <?php endwhile;?>then apply the shadowbox to the div.catlink p class, or div.catlink p a to target the link. If you mess with the_content and remove the filter from it (that’s what you’re looking to do: remove the wpautop filter) it requires some PHP coding so you don’t remove the filter from your blog posts as well. CSS would be your best bet.
Alternatively, you could use
echo get_the_content()instead ofthe_content.That pulls the content without adding any filters at all. but again, you’d have to be sure to place it only in the category template area where you want this to happen, otherwise your blog posts and Pages would be affected by this, as well.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Landing on the home page rather than the blog.Awesome. I know it was something that was going on a while ago, but I’ve been avoiding doing it for so long that I wasn’t aware if it ever did get fixed. (I figured it did at some point, but it’s habit to *not* name it that now, so it never dawned on me to even think to check! 🙂 ) Glad you got sorted 🙂

In reply to: Restoring MultiSite to Single Site – COMPLETELYI poked around in my file manager to see if I can find these “databases”
They wouldn’t be there. Databases aren’t a part of your file system. You have to log into your hosting control panel and access your MySQL databases, usually through phpMyAdmin.
For your issue, the reason you can’t find much on this is because the simplest thing to do is wipe it and restore he backup you made of the original site, before you started messing with it. (You did make a backup, right?) Otherwise, you’re in for a long and bumpy ride.

In reply to: Theme ProblemYour custom community theme (_inc/ajax.php file, at line 63) is trying to create a function that already exists (bp_dtheme_ajax_querystring()) – it’s conflicting. You can a) try to locate the function in question and rename it, b) contact the theme author and have them fix it or c) get a new theme.

In reply to: query_posts in a reusable function?No, I’m not using query_posts inside the loop. The loop begins at “if(have_posts())”. My query is outside of that.

In reply to: PluginsDid you use 1and1’s “one-click installation” to set yourself up? If so, that’s your issue. 1&1 uses multi-site for their 1-click installs. Which basically mens you could have gotten a free wordpress.com account instead – it’s the same thing. You can’t add new plugins or themes, and you can’t backup your own database. You have to email them and ask them to install and activate them for you.
if you used the 1 click install, I’d suggest installing it yourself, manually, and ‘porting over the posts (provided they haven’t disabled your ability to export).
I only say this form previous experience with 1&1. After running into this issue with clients several times 3 years ago, I stopped working with them. but I’m guessing if the 1-click install is the case with you, they haven’t changed their tactics any.

In reply to: Authors can't edit comments posted in other user's post?No. (not a bug.) Editors can, though. Roles and Capabilities.

In reply to: Swf in header… dont work in Opera and IE…I believe IE requires “embed” – which you don’t have.
Your best best, in all cases, would be to use SWFObject. Helps with these issues, an deprecates nicely.

In reply to: One domain 2 hostsShort answer: no.
Domain names are set to resolve to a particular server. You get one. One domain –> one server. You can have 2 doman names (or more) pont to one single server, but you ca’t have one domain name point to multiple servers (save that the secondary one is just backup – and in that case, the backup server will only kick into use if the primary fails.)

In reply to: Problem with local installationThe file you’ve indicated that’s downloading is the index.php file. If your localhost is downloading the file (instead of parsing the PHP and running the site) then you have an odd configuration setting in your localhost setup. it could be several things that are causing the issue.
if your backup is of 2.7.x, then make sure the files in your localhost setup are the same. Open up the SQL backup (assuming that’s what you’re using) and be sure that the “siturl” and “home” alues in the wp_options table are pointing to your localhost location, not the live site. Then import it and connect your localhost files to the localhost version.
If the site is still trying to downlaod the index.php file, then there’s a couple of things – you can rename your .htaccess file – something in the .htaccess could be interfering. For example, on my live server, my host has PHP4 and PHP5 running, so I can choose which version I want to use. 4 runs by default, so I have to pop a bit of code in my .htaccess file to tell the server to run 5. when I bring my site to localhost, I have to remove that bit of code, otherwise it’ll download index.php instead of run it.
I’ve also noticed – this has only happened to me when running MAMP – if I use a “-” in the name of the directory the site is in, it’ll download. If I rename the directory to use “_” or nothing like that at all, it’ll be fine.
Other issues could just be the way your localhost is configured. but if it seems to parse other PHP files just fine, then probably the directory name or .htaccess is at fault, in my experience.

In reply to: Landing on the home page rather than the blog.1) Create a New Page (don’t call it “home.” I don’t know if the bug still exists, but just name it something else.)
2) in your settings > reading, set your home page as that new page you just created.

In reply to: Site not showing,1) sounds like you have an PHP error in your theme code or something, but error reporting is turned off. You can a) view your server’s error logs to find where the issue is, or b) in your wp-config.php file, towards the bottom, set “WP_DEBUG” to “true” – you should then see the error messages.
2) Sounds like you have the Visual Rich Editor turned off in your settings (I think it’s in your profile.)
