In this case you need to give it permissions chmod-777.

You can do that by going in your hosting provider control panel, open file manager and cheack attributes: reading and writing.

You can do that using an ftp software as well.

Here is the link to codex topic.

Not sure how many Web Developers have time for playing WOW, but I must admit that would be cool to be a plugin for this too.

I don’t think you need to set any permission. Just go in your admin control panel, open the editor on left menu and the first file opens up is style.css.

That’s easy to do but takes some time to figure out.

The pioneer of this kind of menu was Apple and uses background position switching.

You just have to pay attention when you slice the images in Photoshop and than calculate in CSS.

You have detailed explanation on how to do that in tutorial you have provided.

What operating system the other have?

Within your wordpress active theme, you have 2 files: one is called index.php, the other one is called single.php.

The single.php controls the look of the page after you clicked on image. If you don’t have this file, just duplicate index.php and rename it to single.php.

In single.php, image shouldn’t be wrapped by any link.

You might want to take a look to WordPress Mu for multiple users so they can each have a blog and they might get other functionalities.

store locator plugin will take care of google maps but 30 location is recommended, though I have seen a website with about 100 locations. I think if you have to many, you will encounter slow loading times.

Instead of chat room you can use BBpress forums or you can install a standalone script if you really want chat.

For user rating you can use this very popular plugin: GD star rating.

For a website like this not everything comes out of the box, but compared to Drupal or Joomla, the learning curve takes a lot less.

When displayed the menu will look like that:

Menu A1 | Menu A2
Menu B1 | Menu B2 | Menu B3 /* displays when hover the menu A1*/
Menu C1 | Menu C2 | Menu C3 /* displays when hover the menu B1*/

Down below I have creted the corect structural markup for that.

<ul>

    <!--level A 1 list starting here-->
	<li><a href="level_1">Level A 1</a>

    	<ul>

        	<li><a href="level_B_1">Level B 1 Destinations</a>

            	<ul>

                    <li><a href="level_C_1">Level C 1 Details</a></li>

                    <li><a href="level_C_3">Level C 2 Details</a></li>

                    <li><a href="level_C_3">Level C 3 Details etc</a></li>

                </ul>

            </li>

            <li><a href="level_B_2">Level B 2 Destinations</a></li>

            <li><a href="level_B_3">Level B 3 Destinations etc</a></li>

        </ul>

    </li><!--level A 1 list closing here-->

    <li><a href="level_A_2">Level A 2</a></li>

</ul>

If you have CSS knowledge you wil understand

ul, ul li {margin:0; padding:0} /*margin and padding reset*/

ul a {padding:0 5px; background:#FFFFFF; color:#FF9900} /*background color for first level submenu*/

ul ul a {background:#CCCCCC;} /*background color for second level submenu*/

ul ul ul a {background:#993333} /*background color for third level submenu*/

ul li {display:inline; float:left} /*display all submenu list items in line*/

ul ul {position:absolute} /*necessary to take second and third level submenus out of flow*/

ul ul {display:none} /*hides second and third level submenu*/

ul li:hover ul {display:block} /*displayes the second and third level submenu*/

ul li:hover ul ul {display:none} /*hides third level submenu when shows the second*/

ul ul li:hover ul {display:block} /* now shoes again third level menu when hover a second item menu*/

As bottom of line, the menu from above is far from perfect but shows the basic principle. For example it will need some javascript to show up in IE6, and you have some problem with padding, because li tag has display:inline. It needs to be floated, but needs more work for that.

When you figure out this, you can go and search in WordPress codex how to replace static menu items with dynamic code!
