In reply to: where are post stored?I have the same question…..
I imported two years worth of posts from Blogger into WP 2.0.1. The post archive directories still exist in my public_html directory, but none of the posts I’ve created using WP show up in them.
I am having problems with my archive links showing my old Blogger posts correctly, so I’m trying to find where the current WP posts are stored…..

In reply to: Problems importing Blogger into WordPress 2.0.1Has anyone had any problems with their old Blogger posts showing up in the archives?
When I click on any past month containing imported Blogger posts, it takes me to an unformatted page containing just a directory listing of the old blogger posts. I thought that if I clicked on any archive link, it would take me to a page containing all the selected archived posts for that month, with the current theme/stylesheet settings applied. But nothing.
Any thoughts?

In reply to: Problems importing Blogger into WordPress 2.0.1Well, it took me a good two days to finally import all my posts….had to just keep resetting the import tool all day until it finally imported everything over. What a pain in the a$$, but thankfully I only have to do it once. 🙂
Also, I’ve noticed that the import process somehow screws up the formatting of the original blog post….especially for posts with multiple images. For example, it inserted divs where there weren’t any to begin with….

In reply to: Experience with the following hosts?I’ve been with Total Choice Hosting for 2+ years. They’re pretty good pricewise, and for the first 2+ years, I had very few problems with them. However, I was running Blogger.com during those 2 years, which might make a difference.
I recently upgraded to WP 2.0.1 and many problems have been popping up. My current ongoing problem is with my FTP connection. When you submit a ticket to tech support, they are VERY quick to respond…however, the quality/content of their responses aren’t very helpful.
I’m considering switching hosts right now.

In reply to: Error establishing a database connection on Total Choice HostingI’m also on TCH, and seem to have “lost” my website after some MySQL error messages. I was previously running 2.0.1 fine on it, but when I moved my WP files to my main directory, that’s when the MySQL problems started. I checked the login and password info, and nothing’s changed. Sorry I don’t have a fix to offer – just someone else that’s having TCH database problems.

In reply to: Upgrading from 2.0 to 2.0.1Hi all –
I’m pretty new to WordPress, and I’m in the process of moving my site from Blogger to WP. I currently have version 1.5.
Two questions:
1. Should I import my Blogger posts/comments into WordPress BEFORE or AFTER I upgrade from 1.5 to 2.01?
2. I know that may plugins don’t work with 2.0 yet. If I upgrade to 2.01, will there be even fewer compatible plugins?
Please keep in mind I’m still learning WordPress and PHP. 🙂
Thank you!!

In reply to: Recommended resources for wordpress/php beginnersOk, seriously, THANK YOU NuclearMoose for your advice and encouragement! Especially the clarification that CSS controls the way a page LOOKS vs. PHP controlling how it works. Positioniseverything.net has eased my fears that I’d have to learn PHP just to customize a 3-column blog using the PHP code in template…..I’m starting to feel like this project isn’t going to be the monster I thought it was after all. 🙂
I’m printing out your annotated CSS page, and will spend time with the other resources you shared…..I’m sure I’ll have more questions later, but this has been the start that I needed!!! Thanks AGAIN, Nuclearmoose. The marriage proposal still stands. ;DForum: Installing WordPress

In reply to: Strange!: Installation appears successful, but noNo, don’t think so. I just did this installation, so the only one checking it is me. I’ll try and log in from my other computer….
Another strange error message in my install log is:
What is the web address of your WordPress installation? (We probably guessed it for you correctly.)
<?php echo $guessurl; ?>
Should it say that? (“<?php echo $guessurl; ?>”) I imagine it’s supposed to show my domain name, or my wordpress directory path? I’ve read through my install log, and everything looks like it worked….I got alot of “installation OK” messages….but then I didn’t receive a password at the end, and the log in page doesn’t exist for me!

In reply to: New user: wp-config-sample.php confusion!Oh nevermind….I figured it out. I was opening the .php file through Dreamweaver, which resulted in a completely blank file, and thus my confusion. I reopened the file using a plain text editor, and I can see the code now, and where I’m supposed to enter my database info.
