If you are using the exact same address then you don’t need to do the sql editing.
@meesha: That’s good advice. The best way to make a blog look like it’s in a directory called “store” is to actually put it in a directory called “store”.

In reply to: 2.8 is evil@onnaholl: If you didn’t disable your plugins before upgrading, then try that first. See below for how to do it when you can’t login:

If that doesn’t help, then you may need to reupload the source code manually.

In reply to: Simple Question about alignmentIt’s not simple with all the tables you have included. Best advice I can give is to start over and don’t use tables for the layout.

In reply to: 2.8 is evilHad you noticed that problem I am having regarding Word documents?
There have always been problems with copying/pasting from Word documents…sometimes it works, other times it will completely destroy the layout, push the sidebar to the bottom, etc. This isn’t limited to WP…Word has some really ugly html that can cause all kinds of problems in web apps. The general advice is to copy from Word, past into something like notepad, then copy the plain text from there into WP and reformat.

In reply to: 2.8 is evil@glennhall144: If you have a db backup you can. If not, you may be able to export all your content using the export feature in the WP admin. Install a clean copy of 2.7 and then import…I haven’t tried this, so am just assuming it will work. As always…backup, backup, backup, before trying anything like this.

In reply to: 2.8 is evilNo it didn’t…if your sites were there and you properly upgraded, you may have problems and you may not be able to see your content until the problems are cleared, but it didn’t “wipe” your sites.
Quoting myself above…my apologies. I was very skeptical about the upgrade deleting files (other than WP files), but I’m seeing too many reports of this happening when the auto-upgrade is interrupted to simply discount it. So, I’m with others here with a call to someone at WP to:
1. Verify whether this is a bug or not.
2. If it is, note whether it has been fixed or not.
3. If it has been fixed, then fine…things happen…that’s the nature of technology
4. If it is a bug and hasn’t been fixed, then remove the auto upgrade link in 2.8 until it is fixed.This needs to be acknowledged and commented on by someone in an “official capacity” here…it’s too serious a problem (again, assuming it is a WP problem) to ignore.
Just my 2 cents.
@adammann33: I’ve done lots of WP customizing to make it more suitable for use as teacher website. I’m really busy over the next three weeks with summer online teaching, but if you email me and tell me exactly what you want removed from the profile and what version of WP you are using, then I’ll hack it out of the code and send you the changed files.

In reply to: The search for a good wp-theme -impossible?A good place to start is to go to the themes directory and look at the most popular — listed on the right:
http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/
In my opinion, you don’t really need to go past the first one (iNove) in the list to find an excellent, free, theme. I’ve never paid for a theme…too many excellent quality free themes out there to do that.
Yes, I made some changes…most do at least some minor modifications…that’s whats great about open source.

Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: WordPress and a WebSiteWordPress in not going to be able to automatically “pull-in” content from your existing site. WP pages are different from your existing site pages. There are lots of ways you can bring your content into WordPress…good ole copy/paste, includes, links, etc.
