It’s after 1 now, not much can be done. First thing in the morning, try getting in touch with your hosting.

Generally the cost is relatively to how much work needs to be done, people have to have a guess basically, so I have no idea, it will be a ballpark figure.

Sadly no, again I just volunteer the odd bit of my time in order to point people in the right direction and help where I can. I always advise you should either continue to try and contact the person who built the original site, or hire someone with those skills.

Esmi posted a link to the WordPress jobs board where you can post a description of your problem and hire someone to fix it, someone should definitely be able to help you there.

Sorry I’m unable to help.

Sounds like a server issue, could be a multitude of reasons. Try contacting your hosting to see if there is an issue with your account.

Take care.

To add the links using the permalink function, I meant change:

echo '<li>'. get_the_title() .'</li>';

To this:

echo '<li><a href="'.get_permalink().'">'. get_the_title() .'</a></li>';

So I described adding the simple a HTML tag around the text that is displaying.

As for your ‘This is Information’ problem, if you want to hide it, I would say delete it. Unfortunately I don’t have the time to code this for you.

Good luck with your website

Post your problem here: http://en.forums.wordpress.com/ as they deal with WordPress hosted sites, this forum is for self-hosted sites.

Correct, It should go somewhere in your single php. Where exactly though depends entirely on the theme you use. Try finding where the end of your post is output and put it after that. Your code was removed as it was too long. Do not paste full file code into here, use Pastebin as suggested by the mods.

It is possible, it depends on comfortable you are with PHP and wordpress.

You could write a simple function (it shows 5 random posts in a bullet point list):

<ul>
<?php
$postargs=array(
'showposts' => 5,
'orderby' => rand
);

$random_posts = new WP_Query($postargs);
while ($random_posts->have_posts()) :
$random_posts->the_post();
  echo '<li>'. get_the_title() .'</li>'
endwhile;
?>
</ul>

If you’re not familiar with editing themes, try searching for a related posts plugin.

So it’s not a search you want, it looks like a link to a particular category. So your description and title gave the indication you wanted a search, with no examples it was very difficult to decipher what you were indeed looking for. You’re looking for information on Categories.

If you set up a good category structure, where posts can appear in more than one, you can set up navigation by just linking to those categories.

So if you had:

Climbing Equipment
– Harnesses
– Ropes
– Footwear

Brand
– North Face
– Kathmandu

You can include a post about North Face Harnesses in both Climbing Equip. > Harnesses and Brands > North Face.

This is how I believe a similar functionality could be achieved.

Then in WordPress you could see the list of items by going to:

yourdomain.com/category/climbing-equipment/harnesses/ or
yourdomain.com/category/brand/north-face/

You could add a + icon linked with one of the above URL’s. This is more of a high level explanation of how to achieve this. If you are planning on building a shop, you would need to clearly map out the crossovers of products into multiple categories. Hope this helps.

Good luck.
