I see the plugins now, although most of them are advising there is a new version. * I decided to click to upgrade the WordPress stats and got the error message I was originally getting: * ———————————— Downloading update from [http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/stats.1.3.2.zip](http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/stats.1.3.2.zip) * Unpacking the update * Could not create directory: /home/myname/public_html/blog/wp-content/upgrade/ stats/stats/ * Installation Failed * ——————— * As I was feeling in a carefree mood, I next did a CHMOD on /plugins to 777 and tried again. Thinking a 777 would allow everything… but still getting the same error message that installation failed. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [All Plugins Disappeared](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/all-plugins-disappeared-1/) * Thread Starter [earner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/earner/) * (@earner) * [17 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/all-plugins-disappeared-1/#post-863617) * The strange thing is, whenever I have performed a CHMOD on a directory, it changes everything underneath that (files and directories) to the same value. * So if I set folders at chmod 755, everything is 755. So I can’t then set the files to 644. I just tried. * I set the folder /plugins to 755 I looked at the files and they were 755 I changed one file from 755 to 644, I looked again at /plugins and that was 644 * I can never set them differently. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to Generate contents](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-generate-contents/) * [earner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/earner/) * (@earner) * [17 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-generate-contents/#post-862365) * I have NO idea, but is this a clue (taken from your link to tablesorter) * “turning a standard HTML table with THEAD and TBODY tags into a sortable table” * I see no THEAD or TBODY in your code * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Can’t add more categories?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-add-more-categories/) * [earner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/earner/) * (@earner) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-add-more-categories/page/2/#post-546060) * This solution worked for me: “access the site via the non-www version (ie. example. com instead of [http://www.example.com](http://www.example.com))” * Mine had been a fresh install, I’d added about 3 categories happily enough, then it suddenly stopped working. After reading the above, I removed the www. from the start of the url and it instantly added the category. * Thanks to that poster! * Good luck * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [TinyMCE not working in IE](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tinymce-not-working-in-ie/) * [earner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/earner/) * (@earner) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/tinymce-not-working-in-ie/#post-630437) * This fix worked for me too. * It appeared that suddenly I could not post. Now I remember I had gone into my profile and typed in my website url and saved it, but I didn’t connect this with my problem. * By going into my profile and unticking the visual box this fixed the problem. * Thank you * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Categories – all categories go to a 404 page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-all-categories-go-to-a-404-page/) * Thread Starter [earner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/earner/) * (@earner) * [19 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-all-categories-go-to-a-404-page/#post-559921) * Ah. Thanks. I didn’t change that. For two reasons: 1) It said optional 2) I had no idea what it meant * In fact, now you’ve pointed out, I still cannot connect the two… so, now off to track down the .htaccess file, which hides a lot! * I can’t even see it via FTP, not that I am sure where to look. I can only see it from my userpanel, so off there to fiddle. * UPDATE: I don’t seem to have any .htaccess file, or don’t have rights to see it at all. * I even used the search function in my console to search for it having looked through everywhere manually. Nothing. * If anybody can give me a clue what to do/where it might be/why I can’t see it. * Thanks * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Categories – all categories go to a 404 page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-all-categories-go-to-a-404-page/) * Thread Starter [earner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/earner/) * (@earner) * [19 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/categories-all-categories-go-to-a-404-page/#post-559916) * *bump* Sorry to bump it…. no reply after 2 days, so thought I’d nudge it * Anybody got any ideas on this? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [adding adsense to blogs](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-adsense-to-blogs/) * [earner](https://wordpress.org/support/users/earner/) * (@earner) * [19 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/adding-adsense-to-blogs/#post-561002) * Also – look at the plug ins.

I thought that was how it was meant to be. Interested to spot this thread now! At the moment I write in pure html and just hope it’s all right.
