Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: images won’t displayI’ve found that with the export/import, categories, links and authors often don’t survive the migration. But the database (*.sql) files should have brought the whole enchilada over.
If you went into PHPMyAdmin and exported your database (or if you did it using the plugin WP-Backup), open that *.sql file with a text editor (NOT MS Word!), and you should be able to find where that wrong path is hiding. Also hopefully you’ll find your authors as well.

In reply to: Single Post on Home PageThat was a stripped down example I gave you. Somewhere after the beginning of the loop and before
the_content, put this:<h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>You might have to assign it a class in case the
<h1>tag is being used elsewhere. In that case, it would be something like:<h1 class="sticky"><?php the_title(); ?></h1>And in your stylesheet, create this:
h1.sticky { // put your specific styles here // }Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: How to call a page on the homepageI am confused. You say that you want to put a “page/bunch of text before the posts” … where in the post? in the index.php template? A page is a separate entity unto itself and as such, you should be able to work with the All in One SEO plugin on that particular page. So I’m not understanding what you mean when you say “page/bunch of text”. And I’m also not understanding how that involves All in One.

In reply to: my web page with wordpressI’m confused. Do you want to use the design from globalcitizenyear.org?
Or do you want to have your WP site take on the design of your existing site?
There are several great tutorials on theming for WP, that’s basically all you need to do.

In reply to: Change the way the_content is displayedthe_content and the_excerpt just plop the post in; the plugins themselves are set up to appear in a certain order either before or after the post, depending on how they are written. You’ll likely need to edit the plugins themselves. But check each plugin’s settings in the WP dashboard. A well written plugin will have settings to edit there, rather than forcing you to strong-arm the plugin.

In reply to: what username and password to use?If you are not familiar with using an FTP client to upload files to your server, if you are unable to distinguish between your web host’s dashboard and WordPress’s, if you cannot follow instructions on how to set up a database, and a user, assign a password to that user, and then assign that user to the database, you might want to visit the WP Pro forums and pay someone a small amount of money to set it up for you. I can tell you that if you have an existing site, you shouldn’t be dumping WP into the site root anyway.
The directory is a folder on your site. (On your hard drive, it’s called a folder.) The contents are the contents of those folders/directories, be they files or other subfolders/subdirectories.

In reply to: Single Post on Home PageCreate a category “sticky”. Make a note of its category ID. Then put this code in your home.php template. You need to style it of course.
<?php $sticky = new WP_Query('cat=X&showposts=1'); ?> <?php if($sticky->have_posts()) : ?> <?php while($sticky->have_posts()) : $sticky->the_post(); ?> <?php the_content(__('More »')); ?>Where
Xincat=Xis your category ID.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Author listCreate a new page template called authorpage.php or something. Make sure you have the special page template code at the top. ‘
Here’s a link to the codex explaining how to create a custom page template. Once that’s done, upload it to your theme’s folder and it should be available for you to choose as a template when setting up your author page.

In reply to: Excerpts instead of full postIn your index.php file, change
the_contenttothe_excerpt. This is WordPress 101. In order for the individual post to display the full post, you’ll need to make sure your theme has a single.php file. If it doesn’t, you can create one by copying the index.php file and naming it single.php. And make sure it hasthe_contentrather thanthe_excerpt.Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: “Forbidden” message keeps appearingWhy did you change permissions on install.php? It should have worked straight out of the box. I believe those files should be set at 755.
