In reply to: New Install ProblemsDoesnt MU still have support over on their forums?
MU has never had much support on those forums…mostly a hand full of people with huge egos, insulting anyone who dares ask a question, or directing them to the mu preimum support site.
@ssb: I didn’t catch the reference to MU in your first bullet. An MU set-up has pretty much the same db connection requirements as a single WP install. If you install a single WP instance on your server can you connect to the DB?

In reply to: Don’t Understand Widgets – Need AdviceThat is the default behavior…when you add a widget, everything else in the sidebar is removed (unless it’s hardcoded in). However, you should be able to add everything back as a widget.

In reply to: Theme reset, not backed up recently, please help!!Was it the default Kubrick theme you edited? If so, and if you didn’t rename the theme to something other than “default”, then you may be out of luck unless you have a backup.

In reply to: DowngradeI have a little time this morning, so if you want, email me the login details to your site…I’ll need the site url, FTP login, and phpMyAdmin login…if you have Cpanel or some other good control panel access that would be great, and I’ll see if I can fix it for you.

In reply to: Post title mising on single post page onlyThat theme has about a million configuration options you can access in the WP admin area, so I’m not sure if this is one of them. But if not, you should be able to open the single.php file in the theme and add the code to call the title. See the following video for some basic information on theme editing…it should show you what code to add.

In reply to: Make the homepage land on the subdirectoryFor this reason I want to make a root level install of wordpress, but have the homepage URL to be http://www.mydirectory.com/category. At a later date I will change the homepage to a more website styl one on the root directory, and keep the blog at http://www.mydirectory.com/category.
I’m having trouble understanding your logic here.
1. You want the blog homepage to look like it’s in a subdirectory.
2. You want the blog to be in root.
3. Later on you will change the homepage to root…
4. …and you will “keep” the blog in a subdirectory (even though it’s not there now)Also, I don’t want to install the blog on a subdirectory, as at somepoint I want her to be able to administer her site from one login – blog included.
I also don’t understand the statement above…administer her site from what one login? If it’s the WP login, it doesn’t matter whether it’s in root or a subdirectory. If it’s an FTP login, then why can’t she administer the complete site with one login?
For what it’s worth, here is what I would suggest…keep it simple…install the blog in a subdirectory and make it look like it’s in root by following these directions.

In reply to: Problems moving blog from sub directory to main siteHow about a link to your site where the blog is supposed to be located. Is it still in a subdirectory or is it now in root?
If you see everything in the db, you are connecting to that db, and you are connecting to the proper tables in that db, then you should be able to see the post and pages in your blog.
