In reply to: Moving major site – will this work?I’ve had another look at this, and there’s nothing more I can think of inside wordpress which would be causing the additional /wp/ in your navigation.
I would love to be able to check out your theme though – any chance of zipping it up? I remain convinced that the navigation has hard links in it.

In reply to: Eliminate boxes around linked imagesanyone wanna point out how I was an ignorant ass for suggesting that posting a new problem to a resolved thread isn’t the best way to get attention?
well, I guess he found a way to get plenty of attention after all, by being a whiny sack of crap.

In reply to: (The vortex that is) Sidebar WidthI absolutely agree with your analogy.
Please consult the manufacturer of the accessory you wish to modify. Unfortunately, this is not the same as the manufacturer of your car. Next time, choose genuine accessories.
Not sure how else to explain this…
As for how complex it is, it’s all in your head. I don’t find it complex to edit my theme files, but you’re here posting this, so evidently you do… this is a matter of perspective.
Ultimately, the files are all there. The way things look is a function of the theme you downloaded, if you want to change that, then consult the theme’s user manual. If it doesn’t have one, then direct your complaints to the author of the theme.
… or save your energy and start poking around in the files.
I still feel it’s important to have some basic concepts available to you, before you begin pouring coolant where your power steering fluid should go. The internet is full of information on both auto repair, and web design if self-help is the path you choose 🙂
Just trying to put you in the right frame of mind… because constructive crticism is only constructive when directed at the appropriate target.
in the mean time, check the style.css in your theme folder for the sidebar value you should be changing. Having no direct experience with this particular 3rd party accessory to your wordpress installation, I can only make an educated guess about that.
Good luck.

In reply to: Moving major site – will this work?you said you had a leftover /wp/ folder you couldn’t delete – I bet there’s still stuff in there, which is why the /wp/links work
I’m lost unfortunately, I can’t see enough to diagnose where these links in your menu are coming from…. and I haven’t slept in 30 hours, so I’m off to bed – google won’t complain too much by the time I get back 😉
I’d like to revisit this with a clear head and fresh ideas 🙂
in the mean time, you won’t hurt anything by replacing the wordpress files with fresh ones…. so if you’re inclined, there’s nothing wrong with that approach… I just don’t necessarily think it’ll help this issue.

In reply to: Moving major site – will this work?look at your links (like the blogroll) perhaps they’re in there… or they could be in a separate .js file in your theme if the drop menus are created manually.
anyway, if you don’t care, I’m happy… it will probably become obvious another day.

In reply to: Moving major site – will this work?I said *back* to bed 😛

In reply to: (The vortex that is) Sidebar Widthit’s important to understand that themes and their associated designs, lacking or otherwise, have very little to do with wordpress.
wordpress is a tool to help you organise posts and stuff them into a database. it also provides a convenient mechanism for those posts to be extracted within a design.
it does not provide the design.
you started this thread with ‘noob alert’ but for some reason you feel as though noobs should be changing their own designs willy-nilly… themes are great, but if you want to change them, then you’re stepping out of noob territory, and you simply have to understand that.
the world revolves around either sports or car analogies, so here’s another one… you’ve bought your car, you’ve even bought some accessories for it in the form of ‘themes’… how much customisation do you think car owners can do before they’re considered mechanics?

In reply to: Moving major site – will this work?I think moshu has gone back to bed… anyway, thanks for the kind words kjetilgf, but you don’t need to deface your site 🙂
I still want to know what’s going on with your menu links – do you have a page called ‘wp’ or something? that’s been confusing me for the last 2 hours.

In reply to: Moving major site – will this work?excellent 😉
that wasn’t so bad, was it? 😉

In reply to: Plain editor, full screen?you can’t do what you can’t do…. sorry but you can’t move faster than light, and you can’t have a full-screen plain editor.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Moving major site – will this work?no worries kjetilgf.
you’ve backed up your database right? – if that’s the case, then nothing you do here will cause permanent harm.
what you’ve posted above is correct. the post_content in the posts table is what you want.
also correct is what you said about physical files vs everything else – there are no posts and no options saved in files (other than wp-config.php) it’s all in the database.
…
as for the double-slash, it depends where it is.. you don’t want to replace all double-slashes with singles because of http://
so be very careful to include a unique string, like your entire domain name, as moshu suggested earlier, for instance.

In reply to: In whitch category are we?because you’re not on a category archive page?
be specific about where you want to use this please – sidebars are everywhere, saying “sidebar” isn’t enough – what page will you be viewing? single post? /category/catname? the home page?

In reply to: Moving major site – will this work?not image paths, there seems to be a multi-level navigation menu with hard-coded links… and some links in the footer…
I think only two template files need changing, but even if its 30, its not the end of the world
