In reply to: Strange author showing up – not in users list!ANYTHING but the latest version of WP is fairly “susceptible.” And now there’s no excuse not to upgrade as you can do it right from the WP dashboard. There were several articles and how-tos written right after this hack appeared. I’ll try to find them for you.

In reply to: Error 500 – Internal server errorYou must have fixed it somehow. I can see it just fine from here (Houston, Texas, T-1 line, behind a corporate firewall).

In reply to: Removing Date and Time from all pages and postNot that I know of. php the_date is what spits the post and page date out. There’s really no other way for it to get on there. What does your index.php file look like?

In reply to: Can’t get my blogIs your website running on WP too? Sounds like either your host’s SQL server is down temporarily. Sometimes this is caused by an overload of SQL queries to the database. Can you access your error/server logs from your web host’s dashboard/cpanel? That won’t tell you your CPU load but it may tell you what is trying to query the database. If that is indeed the problem. Could just be a web host issue.

In reply to: Error 500 – Internal server errorFrom what version did you upgrade?
To be on the safe side, go into your web hosting account’s dashboard/cpanel and backup (export) your WordPress SQL file (this contains the heart and soul of your WP site, all pages, posts, comments, settings, etc.
Did you attempt to update the permalink structure at any time recently?

In reply to: Removing Date and Time from all pages and postCheck index.php, page.php and single.php.
You should see code like this:
<?php the_date('','<h2>','</h2>'); ?>Just remove that and you should be fine. I don’t like having dates on pages myself, but if I am blogging, I generally do have a date, but make it very unobtrusive, like a byline. 🙂

In reply to: Adding a disclaimer.Oh, and BTW, if you are using Thesis, I’ll spare you some hair, fingernails and a smattering of sanity:
Use the Thesis Open Hook plugin to get direct access to all areas of Thesis, including the stylesheet:

In reply to: Adding a disclaimer.Just style it with CSS. All you really need is a class of

In reply to: Error establishing a databse connectionIs this a new installation of WP or an existing blog that suddenly is misbehaving?

In reply to: 2 navigation areas with pages..not posts“There may not even be a blog on this site.”
But to be clear, you WILL be running WordPress, right?
Use the wp_list_pages template tag. With that and some powerful plugins such as Exclude Page from Navigation and Page Mash, you can create some powerful and very customized navigation for your site.
Codex article on wp_list_pages template tag:

In reply to: How do I get a double navigation bar like the one here…Looks like a set of menus to me; you aren’t specific about which area of the site you are talking about. It’s a very barebones site on my end. Hope you aren’t talking about that annoying bar on the bottom.

In reply to: Content of Blog Not Showing UpDon’t you love it when clients won’t fess up that they were poking around in their site and blew it up? 😀
Can you login to the backend using http://elisabethcarol.com/blog/wp-admin?
If so, check to make sure the theme templates (especially header.php) are intact.
What version of WP was she using before she upgraded?
Disable all the plugins (go into FTP and rename the /plugins folder to something else temporarily to fool WP into thinking there is no plugins folder if you cannot access the dashboard). Perhaps there’s a legacy plugin she was using that isn’t playing nice with the latest version of WP.

In reply to: I can only see my homepageI created a whitepaper last summer to help folks with new installations and upgrades of WordPress. It has some useful tips. It’s in PDF format. Download it here:

In reply to: I can only see my homepageYou don’t need to install on your “machine.” You just need to decide WHICH domain you want to use for WordPress. Then redirect the other domain to the WordPress site.
If you are familiar with FTP clients, then go ahead and download the latest WP, be sure to set up a database and user (and don’t forget to ADD the user to the database; I sometimes forget this and I’ve been developing for WP since 2004). Edit the config-sample.php file that comes with the distro, then save it as config.php.
Upload everything to your root (unless you plan to have WP in a directory and something else in the root; and judging from your earlier comments you don’t). Then point your browser to your domain. WordPress will detect that it needs to be installed and use the information from the config.php file to set you up, assign you a random password and you are now good to go.
How you design the site, what features you want, are all up to you. There are a vast number of themes out there and plugins galore.
Good luck with it.
