In reply to: Have I Been Hacked? “WE DID 0 QUERIES” suddenly in footerEven if it’s a feed, it’s got to be in your code or db…it can’t be appearing magically. Did you check the footer.php file? Also, are there any other, additional, files in your install? How did you search the db…dump it as an sql file and search it?

In reply to: Add WordPress Blog to existing siteSince you have Cpanel, doing a manual install is pretty easy…and is better than the auto-install anyway. For step-by-step directions, see the following video and just install in a subdirectory like I show in the video.

In reply to: WordPress Security QuestionsCan the default “admin” account be renamed
Yes, through phpMyAdmin.
Is it safe to create another administrator’s account and delete the default “admin” account?
Yes, and an easier option than renaming admin if you are not familiar with working directly in the db.

In reply to: remove “Comments are Closed” from Arclite 1.4.2 themeIf you want to remove comments from only certain pages and leave them for other pages, then you will need to create a custom page template (it can be a copy of your current page template), remove the commenting code from that template, and then use that template on the pages where you don’t want the comments text to appear. If you want to remove comments text from all pages, then just edit the page.php template.
The following video, although created to show how to completely remove comments from all pages/posts, should give you the information you need to hunt down the code you need to remove from your page template.

In reply to: How close are “Comments” to FORUM functionality?It would be VERY bad to have say 2000 activists calling me in the middle of the night because SimplePress stopped, WP upgraded, it died… and I didn’t know how to fix it.
First, WP doesn’t upgrade itself…you upgrade it. Anyone who is running a production, active, important site, and upgrades the site without first backing everything up and/or testing the upgrade on a test site…well…you fill in the rest 😉
If your forum is that important to you, then there are some really solid, well tested forum apps out there that have been around for a very long time with more features that you will ever get in a WP forum add-on…and that’s simply because WP is a blog…not a forum.
phpBB (open source) and Invision Power Board (proprietary) are just a couple stable, well tested, dedicated forum apps. They’re both php scripts and it doesn’t take a genius to skin them the way you want and make them share user login info.
If your site is so important that 2,000 people will be calling you in the middle of the night if it stops working, then you may need to take @spykie’s advice and hire a programmer to be on stand-by 😉

In reply to: How close are “Comments” to FORUM functionality?…but it is not backed by the “big names” of WP, like Matt or the Automatic team.
Neither are the vast majority of WP plugins or themes that you can download directly from wp.org…they are 3rd party applications that play a major part in making WP what it is today. Want guarantees…install nothing but the standard WP code…want a nice, functional forum plugin…give it a try. The worst that can happen? If it stops working, then you won’t have a forum in your WP install…like you currently don’t have 😉

In reply to: Moved WordPress to my root dir and now can’t see/access my blog…then all you have to do is change the URLs for both site and home in your database.
That’s not necessarily true…there could be (and probably are) lots of absolute addresses scattered throughout the database that need to be changed.
