In reply to: Removing the "index.php" from links?Also, for added info, there’s a custom structure listed in the Permalinks part of the Settings, and it says “/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname” – put if I just delete the /index.php part then all the existing links get broken. If I put it back in, then it’s fine.
I’ve currently got the Permalinks set to “Day and Name” and that’s what’s showing the index.php before all the pages and blog posts.

In reply to: Removing the "index.php" from links?I found this, sounds like it might do the trick:
http://www.adamchristie.co.uk/wordpress/seo-friendly-wordpress-urls-on-namesco-zeus-servers/
It involves running a rewrite.script , seems straightforward enough to do. Would it remove the index.php from the URLs of the pages too (rather than just the blog posts?)

In reply to: Removing the "index.php" from links?BTW, is “fancy permalinks” the technical term? Or is there something more specific I can ask them to enable? 🙂

In reply to: Removing the "index.php" from links?I just had a look in the SQL (didn’t touch anything! 🙂 ) and in the wp_options part it has home and siteurl set as http://spicapublishing.co.uk, but under permalink_structure it has “/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/” – apart from a mention in the rewrite_rules entry apparently to do with robots.txt, that’s the only mention I can find on index.php there.

In reply to: Removing the "index.php" from links?Yes, they do have index.php in the permalinks. I can access the SQL database though, so is it possible to change it in there?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Removing the "index.php" from links?Nope, it’s not mentioned in there. And on the Settings/General page it says that the wordpress and site URLs are both http://spicapublishing.co.uk
I followed the instructions on this page to move it (under Moving WordPress Within Your Site): http://codex.wordpress.org/Moving_WordPress
The only thing is that I don’t seem to have a .htaccess file, so I couldn’t change anything to do with that. Do I have to tinker with the SQL database directly to fix this?

In reply to: Looking for email subscription widgetDuly noted, I’ll look at it if I can’t find the widget I mentioned in my OP. Is that available anywhere for download?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Looking for email subscription widgetNo, but I don’t want feeds for now, and I’d rather have something directly integrated into wordpress. I just want something where people can enter their email address and subcribe to new updates in the blog.

In reply to: I’m having trouble naming the Pages.OK, got that link issue sorted – it wasn’t let me change the URLs because I’d set the News page as a static page. Once I unchecked that, I could change the URL and then set it back as a static page again.

In reply to: I’m having trouble naming the Pages.Now the only problem is that I can’t rename the URLs for the pages – the news page for example is news-4, and if I edit the link to remove the “-4” it just resets back to news-4 again. Anyone know how to fix that? I’ve tried removing my previous attempts to make news pages from the trash but I still can’t change it.

In reply to: I’m having trouble naming the Pages.Ah, I figured it out, though it seems really kludgy.
I found an option in the “k2 Options” to rename the “Blog” tab. However, if I want the Home tab to be first, I have to rename the Blog tab to “Home”, and then set the Front Page to be Home, and the News page to be News. Only then can I get the Home page showing up first, then the News page (with blog articles), then the Our Products page.

In reply to: How to add widgets to a theme?Right, thanks! I think I’ve muddled my way around the other widgets for now…
