Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How to make website created in WordPress into a blogYes, just do what Samboll said and then your post page will be called “Blog” and you will still have the page called “Products”. The products information will now be a post in the Blog page…just copy the information from that post, edit your Products Page, paste it in and save. Then delete the post from your Blog page. See the following video…it may help you understand the process a little better.

In reply to: Can Someone Help Me Grok the Dashboard Concept?(The whole dashboard metaphor doesn’t really work for me. Is blogging like driving a car?)
The Dashboard is just one tab (area) in wp-admin (WordPress Administration).

In reply to: Working to remove /wordpress from my urlSounds like you are trying to move from a subdirectory (wordpress) to root…if so, see the second video in the post below.

In reply to: Can Someone Help Me Grok the Dashboard Concept?That would bypass the dashboard?
No, it doesn’t bypass it…it just doesn’t take them to it when they login…they stay on the homepage of your site and then the login changes to a link to the dashboard, their profile, and any other area in the admin you want to include. Give it a try…you’ll understand better if you actually try it.

In reply to: Can Someone Help Me Grok the Dashboard Concept?Can’t shed any insight on the logic, but if you install this plugin:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sidebar-login/
And have people login through the sidebar widget, then they won’t be redirected to the admin area. There is also a “login redirect url” setting you can configure for this plugin…if you wanted, you could probably see how they are doing that and apply the same/similar code to the default login to redirect users to the homepage….may already be a plugin to do this, but I haven’t checked.

In reply to: Need help with restoring blog from an “archive”Even if it’s not there, you may have backups available to you in your hosting control panel…if you happen to have Cpanel, then it will probably still be in your backup area in Cpanel.

In reply to: Contempt Custom HeaderNot sure of the version…it’s a copy I edited a long time ago to use on a WPMU site where I removed all the commenting features. I installed it on a test 2.8.4 site here and it still works.

In reply to: Need help with restoring blog from an “archive”As for reverting or retrieving a back up for my host I’ll have to not do that as I have multiple websites that will be affected and I can’t do that.
None of your other websites will be impacted…if you can get your host to give you a backup of your db, (don’t have them restore your site to an earlier point) just have them give you a copy of your db…then you can recover without impacting anything else on your site.

In reply to: Need help with pixel themeI don’t use that theme, but from a quick look, it seems the categories are being listed in the navbar above the post and your pages are listed in the upper-right of the header. I don’t see an option in the theme to change this through wp admin, so you can change it by editing your header.php file. Find the following:
<ul id="nav"> <li><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>">Home</a></li> <?php wp_list_categories('sort_column=name&title_li=&depth=2'); ?> </ul>and change that wp_list_categories line so it looks like this:
<ul id="nav"> <li><a href="<?php echo get_option('home'); ?>">Home</a></li> <?php wp_list_pages('depth=1&title_li=0&sort_column=menu_order'); ?> </ul>If you don’t want the pages listed at the upper-right of the header, then you would need to delete/change that code.
Seems this option should be provided in the theme options, but I just don’t see it…if I’m missing it somewhere, maybe someone else can post and let us know.

In reply to: Centering Navigation?Find the following code in style.css:
#header #menu { float:left; margin:70px 80px 0 0; }and change it to this:
#header #menu { float:left; margin:70px 80px 0 170px; }adjust the 170 value to fine tune.

In reply to: Need help with restoring blog from an “archive”It will probably be a file with an .sql extension. Look in the wp-config.php file in WordPress to see the name of your db and that may help you find it.
