Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Error when changing PermalinksThe .htaccess file is a small file that lives on your server, where you installed WordPress.
You can edit the .htaccess file by FTP, shell, or (possibly) your host’s control panel.
I find it easiest to download it to my computer via FTP and use a text editor, then upload the new file. You’ll probably have to enable the visibility of hidden files to find it.
Once you’ve found it and have it open in your text editor, copy and paste this after all other material in the file:
# BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPressHowever, if anything else in the file exists with “BEGIN WordPress” – replace it with this to reset things back to the standard setup.
Then save and upload the new .htaccess to copy over the old one on the server.

In reply to: Website down & Can't LoginTry these:
[ Moderator note: Please use the URLs to the codex instead of shortening them like that. ]
If you can’t get into your admin dashboard, try resetting the plugins folder by FTP or PhpMyAdmin (read http://codex.wordpress.org/FAQ_Troubleshooting#How_to_deactivate_all_plugins_when_not_able_to_access_the_administrative_menus.3F if you need help).
Switch to the Twenty Eleven theme to rule out any theme-specific problems. If you can’t log in to change themes, you can remove the theme folders via FTP so the only one is twentyeleven. That will force your site to use it.
Manual upgrade. When all else fails, download a fresh copy of the latest.zip file of 3.5 (top right on this page) to your computer, and use that to copy up. You may need to delete the wp-admin and wp-includes folders on your server. Read the Manual Update directions first: http://codex.wordpress.org/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update
Also check the Master List to see if you’re experiencing a known issue:

In reply to: Unwanted p tags in the editorIf you edit all of your posts and pages in the “Text” tab rather than “Visual,” you have more control over the html. However, WordPress does try to correct malformed code so as to display your content correctly.
Tip: don’t switch between “Text” and “Visual” – pick one and stay with it for the duration of your editing of that particular post or page.

In reply to: How to Manage Table in WP's Database through wp-adminMy first suggestion is still to find a plugin that will allow you to do what you want to do. Why reinvent the wheel if someone already built a tool you can use?

In reply to: How to Manage Table in WP's Database through wp-adminThere are any number of plugins that can allow you to manage your database through the dashboard.

However, from your description of what you want to do, you may have to do some modification of the core WordPress files, which is not really recommended.

In reply to: Home Button Is Redundant no?There is a specific forum for Twenty Twelve:

That said, of course the menus are customizable! Go to Appearance>Menus, and Appearance>Widgets to change things around. There is no reason to lock oneself into a structure if you don’t like it.

In reply to: Server Reset While Page is Loading@reedbird8, you really need to start your own thread, since your issue is not exactly the same as the original poster here (would require you to have EXACTLY the same config, etc).

In reply to: Images not uploadingWhat are the error messages? What, exactly, are you doing when you upload your images?
And a note – if you “hate to hear anything tech- or code-driven,” you may not be able to resolve your issue. Please remember that WordPress is FREE software, supported by VOLUNTEERS.
Yes, a website created in WP has to stay in WP — the question catacaustic answered is where the files that serve up the site end up living.
You can’t use WordPress to generate straight HTML files that will work as a website outside of WordPress. That’s what programs like Dreamweaver are for.

In reply to: unable to load images to mediaYour server and WordPress DO work together, folks, they’re not completely separate entities.
OR is there some way of exporting the finished site so they can use it as they like?
What do you mean by this?
