    in the path i wrote with the >s example and new theme were just examples of folders that you might have. so example would be the name of your new site without the .com.

    New theme was just in place of the theme you want to upload.
    so you should be uploading the theme to the themes directory. this SHOULD then appear on the presentation screen.

    are you sure you are uploading to the right domain, that is, not to just public_html>wp-content>themes?

    hey, ive just switched to bluehost so im doing all this at the moment.

    when you added your new domain, i assume you made it an add-on? so yournewdomain.com was actually what was at example.olddomain.com?

    if this is the case, under public_html there should be a folder equivalent to example in the domain. within this folder should be wp-admin, wp-content wp-includes and some files. under wp-content are your themes.

    so the path should be this

    public_html>example>wp-content>themes>new theme

    ive used should because that is how it all works on my account, so im assuming it’ll be the same.

    hope you find it

    edit — oh, and you need to be using an ftp client to do all this

    actually, i needed to leave those urls alone!
    put them back to just mydomain.com and it all works absolutely even better than before

    always so full of confidence aren’t you rudy.
    i had done that actually, but via the options page and not the mysql. anyway, its sorted, it was all an issue to do with the fact that my hosting hadn’t fully switched. now it has and there are no problems. but i didn’t think it should have mattered, if i could go to addon.mydomain.com, i couldn’t see why an admin at that address wouldn’t work. but there you go.

    im with bluehost, and this is my second address with them, hoe can i get it so that it isnt an addon domain?

    in your header, or wherever the nav section is located, where you call the pages, put ‘exclude=x,y’ in the brackets. where x and y are the id numbers of the pages.

    so assuming you are using wp_list_pages, and the items you dont want to display are id 1 2 and 3 put the following
    <?php wp_list_pages('exclude=1,2,3'); ?>

    you can find the ids on the manage pages panel.

    are you thinking of wordpress.com, which is the multi-user blogging software?

    if this is the standard meta widget supplied with the widget plugin, you need to edit the widget plugin itself, its a long file, so search for meta in it until you find the right bit

    i’d be interested in this too if anyone has ideas?

    ok ive sorted it, just came to reply to your post, had one more try and cracked it.

    <?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
    <li class="<?php echo $oddcomment; ?>" id="<?php author_highlight(); ?>">
          <div class="commentname">
            <?php comment_author_link()?> @ <?php comment_date('F jS, Y') ?>
    		<?php edit_comment_link(__("Edit This"), ''); ?> 
    
          </div>
         	 <?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') : ?>
         	 <em>Your comment is awaiting moderation.</em>
          	<?php endif; ?>
    		<div class='commenttext'>
    		<div class="gravatar"><img src="<?php gravatar("PG","32");?>" /></div>
    
    <div class="commentp"><?php comment_text();?></div>
    		</div>
    
        </li>
        <?php /* Changes every other comment to a different class */
    if ('alt' == $oddcomment){
    $oddcomment = 'standard';}
    else {$oddcomment = 'alt';} ?>
        <?php endforeach; /* end for each comment */ ?>

    this is using author highlight plugin.

    instead of having the id defined as the comment number of whatever it was, i put the php that created the alternate highlighting as the class, and the author highlight as the id. works a charm.

    you can tell IE to display different style sheets, so in your header put something like

    <!--[if IE]>
    <style type="text/css">
    @import "http://www.mydomain.com/wp-content/themes/default/styleIE.css";
    </style>
    <![endif]-->

    the if IE can be changed to specific versions, and less than and greater than statements.

    If different css coding is all that is needed to display the site correctly in IE(it is on my site), then this will work, as for whole themes i dont know

    are we talking dan cameron’s search everything? the version i use has the option (on admin>options>search everything) to include metadata, but ive never tested it.

    have you tried asking him directly on dancameron.org/wordpress? he is really good at helping out.

    other than that i cant help.

    have a look at typing it into the single.php file after the_content.

    ive found the proper way to change this, without the !important function in the css.

    open your header.php, and look for this, its the bit i couldnt find before

    #page { background: url("<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/kubrickbg.jpg") repeat-y top; border: none; }

    Alex Cragg

    (@epicalex)

    you need to edit your css file, probably called style.css, and look for the body tag.
    the text color will be like this for white: color: #ffffff;
    you need to change this to the color you want, using something like #000000 for black, #595959 for a grey.

    this is what i have

    <?php foreach ($comments as $comment) : ?>
        <li class="<?php echo $oddcomment; ?>" id="comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>">
          <div class="commentname">
            <?php comment_author_link()?> @ <?php comment_date('F jS, Y') ?>
    		<?php edit_comment_link(__("Edit This"), ''); ?> 
    
          </div>
         	 <?php if ($comment->comment_approved == '0') : ?>
         	 <em>Your comment is awaiting moderation.</em>
          	<?php endif; ?>
    		<div class='commenttext'>
    		<div class="gravatar"><img src="<?php gravatar("PG","32");?>" /></div>
    
    			<div class="commentp"><?php comment_text();?></div>
    		</div>
    
        </li>
        <?php /* Changes every other comment to a different class */
    	if ('alt' == $oddcomment){$oddcomment = 'standard'; } else { $oddcomment = 'alt'; }?>
        <?php endforeach; /* end for each comment */ ?>
