ok..I tried that and got a syntax error…I’m thinking I have one of these <? wrong..I’m replacing

<?
		while(have_posts()) {
			the_post();
?>

with

<?php $my_query = new WP_Query('category_name=news,blog');
  while ($my_query->have_posts()) : $my_query->the_post();

does it need another ?> at the end?

sorry…I’m still learning. =)

I’m afraid I don’t know the custom shortcodes function? is there a link you can give me on it? The page is actually on a site someone else has made….they have a category-news.php page….which they’d like to add another category feed to…and possibly allow comments?

woohoo!! the first one worked…thanks so much!

anyone? any ideas?

Aaaaaaand 12 hours later, we have success. Thanks much!!!

The folders are 501….(I’m using ws-ftp from ipswitch)
I changed them to 755, and attempted to delete again. This time it went. =) Thanks govpatel.

One more question – in the WP how to update page it says

Upload the individual files from the new wp-content folder to your existing wp-content folder, overwriting existing files. Do NOT delete your existing wp-content folder. Do NOT delete any files or folders in your existing wp-content directory (except for the one being overwritten by new files).

the only “loose” files I have in wp-content is index.php and wp-cache.php. do I also upload the folders as well? I’m not sure what it means by individual files.

so I can’t just overwrite?

ok..i’ll give it a shot!
