In reply to: After Importing from .com, Embedded Video Not WorkingRead the following interesting article on moving your WordPress.com hosted blog to your own WordPress.org hosted blog. There are pros and cons, you’ve identified one of the cons, you have to learn how to manage this yourself, and some functionality is missing by default, but can be re-enabled through the use of plugins.

Best of luck with your endeavours.

In reply to: Remove space between nav and headerIn your CSS, there is a margin top of 165px which is creating the whitespace. Find this and reduce it to 45px, that should sort it out.

In reply to: Remove Author | Remove CommentsYou’ve specified body.single which is most likely why it is only disappearing in some places. Do you have a link by any chance?
You could try this plugin. WP can import from server for individual files, this may help do the bulk import.
Also this just happened but i cant access my site threw my IP at my house but rather a proxy…ban possibly?
When you said this, I meant this problem is irrelevant to WordPress, that is why I said you being unable to access it has something to do with your host/ISP. I am not saying your db problems have anything to do with your access problems, you posted twice and I anwsered both posts is all.
The reason it doesn’t detect the files, is as I said, to do with the database. When you upload a file in wordpress, it makes a reference in the database and puts it in a folder. You’ve got the folders. You will have to re-import the files manually into your library.
Good luck getting your site back up and running.
You do not have a backup of the old database? If you re-installed WordPress, you may have overwritten your old database. This may mean you’ve lost the posts/pages you may have had.
The files and themes are still in your wp-content folder, but not in your media-library. You can import all of this media from a directory on the server again quickly.
I can only speculate on what your access issue may be, but as it’s most likely an ISP/Hosting issue and irrelevant to WordPress, I won’t.

In reply to: Width of the textIn your theme, style.css which controls your page styles your content div is set to 720px, which is why it stops before the right hand border. If you can find the below block of code in your style.css file. Change the 720px value to 960px.
#content { float: left; width: 720px; overflow: hidden; margin: 20px; }i was trying to optimize cache speeds and i accidentally deleted my Phpmyadmin MySQL user
All the posts are stored in the database. As your site is showing a new wordpress install. Did you accidentally remove the database as well as the user? I don’t understand how optimising your cache speeds took you anywhere close to your PhpMyAdmin user. As long as the database is intact, create a new mysql user, give it access to your wordpress database and manually edit your wp-config.php file. Better yet, if you re-create the user you originally installed wordpress with that should work.

In reply to: wp_list_categories HackFind where the function exists in the WordPress structure. Copy the entire function to your functions.php file in your theme, making sure to rename the function (i.e. custom_list_categories). Modify it to operate as you’ve described, and use the function in your template where you’ve used wp_list_categories, replace it with a call to your new custom_list_categories.
This is how I normally modify the current functionality of certain aspects of WordPress when I need to alter how it works by default.
Good luck.

In reply to: How to Link to another URL?Stacey,
Your domain unfortunately will have to point somewhere. That is the way they function.
For example:
http://www.staceyemiliou.com/art/
http://www.staceyemiliou.com/shop/You could get your domain http://www.behindmyeyeball.com to point to one of the above URLs, but you can’t have it display both. When a user clicks on the link, they will be brought to that URL (though this may be confusing for the user unless your sister website is somewhat similar and identifies itself with being associated with you), just like they would be brought to any page on your staceyemiliou.com website.
To get your domain repointed, you’d have to contact the company that you purchased the domain from.
Hope this helps you.

In reply to: Customize RSS feedshttp://yourdomain.com/feed/rss/
(presuming you have pretty URLs enabled. I guessed this wasn’t your actual domain.It’s odd that you wish to actually use the RSS feed. As your RSS feed is a feed of what is already on your website, generally this is only used so that people can subscribe to your site via an RSS reader or an external service. That is the purpose of RSS, the syndication of your sites information to another source.
Best of luck with it.

In reply to: How to increase word count limit in posts?As you’re on GoDaddy (or any hosting account), they should have this tool available to manage your database without having to install this.
It definitely sounds like it is the database issue, and if the table is corrupt, then it’s possible the new posts you’re adding are not storing properly.
It is something you should resolve sooner rather than later.

In reply to: How to Link to another URL?Could you elaborate on the following?
but not direct it there as theres nothing on it – just to show the link in the URL
When a person clicks/hovers over the link, you want them to see what happen exactly?
