Can you provide more details either here or via email (eric[at]eamann[dot]com) so I can help you try to figure it out? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [permalink problem](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-20/) * [Eric Mann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/) * (@ericmann) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/permalink-problem-20/#post-1326379) * When it displays the permalink as “/links-2” it means you have two pages with the title “Links.” Just cutting the -2 off the end will break the URL. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Upgrade Problem](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upgrade-problem-25/) * [Eric Mann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/) * (@ericmann) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upgrade-problem-25/#post-1326376) * Something might have gone wrong with your installation. Try clicking the “Update to 2.9” button and running the auto-update to see if it fixes things. * Before you do that, though, **please back up your files and database just in case!** * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Confusion](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/confusion-1/) * [Eric Mann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/) * (@ericmann) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/confusion-1/#post-1326375) * Angie, * I recommend setting up a subdomain for your site and installing a separate blog to run off that subdomain. HostGator should support that for you fairly easily. * For example, my portfolio is hosted at [http://eamann.com](http://eamann.com) but I have a testing site set up at [http://ptest.eamann.com](http://ptest.eamann.com). They’re both running on their own separate installations of WordPress, but I only have one web host and one domain name. This way I can test different plug- ins, development tools, and themes on a live site without changing my own site. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [How to display tags in posts?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-display-tags-in-posts/) * [Eric Mann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/) * (@ericmann) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-display-tags-in-posts/#post-1326374) * [@laurymdragon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/laurymdragon/) – You’ll need to either edit your blog theme or have someone do it for you. When WordPress displays each of your posts, it loops through all of the information they contain and writes it to the screen based on your theme’s instructions. If your theme isn’t asking for the tags, they won’t display. * I’d recommend asking on [http://jobs.wordpress.net](http://jobs.wordpress.net) for someone who’d be willing to add tags to your theme (or try looking for a theme that supports tags already). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [FLV that autoplays and has no controls](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/flv-that-autoplays-and-has-no-controls/) * [Eric Mann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/) * (@ericmann) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/flv-that-autoplays-and-has-no-controls/#post-1326373) * Browsers that already have Flash installed can play SWF files automatically. If your video is already encoded as a looping SWF object, you can embed it directly on the page and it will play automatically and loop without controls. * If, however, you have an FLV file instead you’ll need a video player to play it in. Flash does not play FLV files alone in a web browser! Try [any one of these flash video plug-ins](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search.php?q=flash+video&sort=) on your site. You might not be able to get the automatic loop, though. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Images in Wp-content/uploads not showing in Media Library](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/images-in-wp-contentuploads-not-showing-in-media-library/) * [Eric Mann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/) * (@ericmann) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/images-in-wp-contentuploads-not-showing-in-media-library/#post-1326372) * Uploading your images via FTP directly to the wp-content/uploads directory will not show them in the Media Library. The Media Library gets its information from your WordPress database – the only way to upload an image _and_ have it included in the Library is to upload it through the Media Library. * Log in to your dashboard and go to Media >> Add New. This interface will allow you to upload your images directly to the site and they will now appear in your Media Library. * If you’re uploading images for use in a post, upload them directly from the post editor. Go to Posts >> Add New and write your post like you normally would. To add a new image, put your cursor where you’d like the image to display and then click the first icon to the right of the words Upload/Insert. This will allow you to upload the image directly and insert it into your post. Afterwards, the image will appear in the Media Library for future use. * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Converting current blog to WordPress form](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-current-blog-to-wordpress-form/) * [Eric Mann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/) * (@ericmann) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/converting-current-blog-to-wordpress-form/#post-1326371) * Post a job on [http://jobs.wordpress.net](http://jobs.wordpress.net). You’ll get several different responses from fairly reputable sources. You might also want to try posting something on Craigslist. * Or send me an email off the forum (eric[at]eamann[dot]com) and I can give you some pointers. * Forum: [Requests and Feedback](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/requests-and-feedback/) In reply to: [No good Chess plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-good-chess-plugins/) * [Eric Mann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/) * (@ericmann) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/no-good-chess-plugins/#post-1321954) * [@davidcordover](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davidcordover/) – This sounds interesting enough. Would you be looking for a way to embed the ChessTempo PGN viewer itself into a blog post (specifying a PGN file, of course), or are you looking for some other kind of implementation? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Plugin: JS Banner Rotate] Update](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-js-banner-rotate-update/) * Thread Starter [Eric Mann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/) * (@ericmann) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-js-banner-rotate-update/page/2/#post-1136925) * [@dglend](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dglend/) – I just walked through your entire site and couldn’t find where you’re using the plug-in. Which page are you trying to use it on? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Plugin: JS Banner Rotate] Update](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-js-banner-rotate-update/) * Thread Starter [Eric Mann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/) * (@ericmann) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-js-banner-rotate-update/#post-1136921) * [@drtanz](https://wordpress.org/support/users/drtanz/) Right now there’s not a way to link the image to a specific URL (as in a click-able link). However I will work on adding that feature to the next version of the plug-in. * Email me (eric[at]eamann[dot]com) if you have any other questions. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [iNove Jquery and MooTools – Featured Content Gallery](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inove-jquery-and-mootools-featured-content-gallery/) * [Eric Mann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/) * (@ericmann) * [16 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/inove-jquery-and-mootools-featured-content-gallery/#post-1238339) * [@gsjosh](https://wordpress.org/support/users/gsjosh/) – How are you loading the scripts in your theme? Are you calling them directly in the HTML code or using WordPress’ wp_enqueue_script() function? * If you’re calling it directly, I’d recommend you instead move to the wp_enqueue_script() method. Place each script in its own function call and be sure to set the dependency variable. This will tell the site which script to load when and *might* fix your interference problem. * For reference: [http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script](http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_enqueue_script) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Plugin: JS Banner Rotate] Update](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-js-banner-rotate-update/) * Thread Starter [Eric Mann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/) * (@ericmann) * [16 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-js-banner-rotate-update/#post-1136914) * [@reedjholmes](https://wordpress.org/support/users/reedjholmes/) – I know we’ve already fixed your problem, but I wanted to post here to make sure others can fix it, too. * Remember always that your parameters must be inside single quotes or it breaks the function. For example change this: * `` * To this: * `` * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Upgrade Automatically for internal plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upgrade-automatically-for-internal-plugins/) * [Eric Mann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/) * (@ericmann) * [16 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upgrade-automatically-for-internal-plugins/#post-1261079) * [@slackbits](https://wordpress.org/support/users/slackbits/) Are you, or do you know a developer who would be, interested in working on developing such a system?
