Seems to be something to do with the K2 theme. I tried twenty-thirteen and the titles showed up in the preview. * Ah. I unchecked the “Advanced Navigation” (whatever that does) in the K2 options and the titles came back (though they’re a bit small). So I guess that’s resolved now. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Trying to install phpbb3, but WordPress gets in the way](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trying-to-install-phpbb3-but-wordpress-gets-in-the-way/) * Thread Starter [EDG](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edg/) * (@edg) * [14 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trying-to-install-phpbb3-but-wordpress-gets-in-the-way/#post-2248902) * Never mind – got it sorted, turned out to be a hosting issue. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Trying to install phpbb3, but WordPress gets in the way](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trying-to-install-phpbb3-but-wordpress-gets-in-the-way/) * Thread Starter [EDG](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edg/) * (@edg) * [14 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/trying-to-install-phpbb3-but-wordpress-gets-in-the-way/#post-2248901) * Can nobody help with this at all?

Is this even possible to set up at all? Or would I have to put the phpbb3 board on a different account/ website package on my server? * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Changing width of k2 theme?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-width-of-k2-theme/) * Thread Starter [EDG](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edg/) * (@edg) * [15 years, 12 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-width-of-k2-theme/#post-1596244) * Addendum: * I now would like to use a wider image (980×200) as my custom header, but it won’t let me use that because when you try to upload a larger image on the custom header page, it forces you to clip the image down to 780×200. * Does anyone know how to disable or get around this so I can use my 980×200 image? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WordPress Stats] Stats suddenly stopped working](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-stats-stats-suddenly-stopped-working/) * Thread Starter [EDG](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edg/) * (@edg) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wordpress-stats-stats-suddenly-stopped-working/#post-1606767) * Never mind.

I changed the wp-contents folder to 0775 and it seems to be working fine now. * Odd that it wasn’t set right initially though. I guess that perhaps the default permissions are set like that. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Moved wordpress within site, images uploading to wrong folder!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moved-wordpress-within-site-images-uploading-to-wrong-folder/) * Thread Starter [EDG](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edg/) * (@edg) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moved-wordpress-within-site-images-uploading-to-wrong-folder/#post-1597433) * anybody? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Moved wordpress within site, images uploading to wrong folder!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moved-wordpress-within-site-images-uploading-to-wrong-folder/) * Thread Starter [EDG](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edg/) * (@edg) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moved-wordpress-within-site-images-uploading-to-wrong-folder/#post-1597392) * I’ll also add that it seems that I have the wrong permission issue even when I try to upload a custom header image via the custom Header page for k2 theme. I’m uploading through WordPress’ own uploader, not FTP, so something strange is going on here. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Changing width of k2 theme?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-width-of-k2-theme/) * Thread Starter [EDG](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edg/) * (@edg) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/changing-width-of-k2-theme/#post-1595987) * I figured it out. I’m not sure what happened first time when it went all screwy, but the solution is to change the code I showed in the snippet above, and then also change the width in this part of the code beneath it: * ``` #primary { position: relative; float: left; width: 500px; padding: 10px; } ``` * The width entry in this code snippet should be adjusted to a value of (500+ ( new width -780) ). So if the new width value (set in the first code snippet) for the full blog is 1000px, the new width for the main window is 500+(1000-780) = 500 + 220 = 720px. * If you have a custom header image then that needs to be altered too, but the default is to set it at 780×200 and if you need a larger one (e.g. 1000×200) then it doesn’t display properly. I couldn’t figure out how to rectify that, but I did some clever tweaking of background colours and alignment with the 780 ×200 image and it works now. * Hopefully that’s of use to somebody! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Moved wordpress within site, images uploading to wrong folder!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moved-wordpress-within-site-images-uploading-to-wrong-folder/) * Thread Starter [EDG](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edg/) * (@edg) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moved-wordpress-within-site-images-uploading-to-wrong-folder/#post-1597340) * Ah, thanks. The folder setting still specified /wp/ in the URL. * But… I corrected that, and while it now uploads the image to the correct uploads folder, I still can’t see the image – it seems to be because the file permissions are not being set correctly (the existing file permissions are 0664, but newly uploaded ones are set to 0660, which means they are not readable by the public). If I manually change them (via my FTP program) to 0664 then they work fine and are visible on the page, but obviously I don’t really want to do that for every image I upload. * Now, I am uploading the pictures via a private page (not a public one) here so I wondered if that was the problem – but I also tried uploading another picture to a public page too, and the permission for that picture was also wrong (0660 again). So that’s not causing it. * So somehow the permissions aren’t being set properly for the pictures to be viewable. Any idea why? I didn’t have this issue before moving wordpress to the root (I’m on a zeus server if that helps). * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Looking for email subscription widget](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-email-subscription-widget/) * Thread Starter [EDG](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edg/) * (@edg) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/looking-for-email-subscription-widget/#post-1590543) * Still looking for something here. I tried subscribe2 but that totally isn’t what I want (unless I missed something. I don’t want to have to set up a separate page where people have to go to in order to subscribe, I want it just to be there in the sidebar). * This is what I’m looking for: I want there to be form on the sidebar in which people can enter their email address, and I want there to be a button to click beneath or above it that says “email subscription” (or whatever I want), and when they do that they’ll get an email alert whenever a new post is added to the blog. * Surely there’s got to be something like this out there? What do others use for it? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Removing the "index.php" from links?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/removing-the-indexphp-from-links/) * Thread Starter [EDG](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edg/) * (@edg) * [16 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/removing-the-indexphp-from-links/#post-1590479) * Aha! I tried that link out and it works! Also works with new pages and new posts. Brilliant! (possibly not surprising since my site is hosted on the namesco servers 🙂 ) * All good then. Thanks Samuel B, I wouldn’t have found that if you hadn’t mentioned that the site was on a zeus server 🙂 Viewing 15 replies - 1 through 15 (of 27 total) 1 [2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edg/replies/page/2/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/users/edg/replies/page/2/?output_format=md)
