In reply to: WP v2.6.1 database hacked, but how?You were rooted. This doesn’t necessarily mean that the hackers even gained access from YOUR account or from YOUR installation of WP. You need to change every password you have associated with your web hosting account. And it doesn’t sound like the hosting environment is all that secure, either; but these things do happen in a shared environment, unfortunately. 🙁
Also, don’t delete any suspicious files from your server until your host has had a chance to look at them. I generally download them and zip them up and send them to my host in a trouble ticket.

In reply to: wordpress base path, how do i set it ?It sounds like WP is looking for /wp-content/uploads and not finding it. I can’t remember with the newer versions of WP if it’s part of the distro or not. So check your server to see if you indeed do have a subfolder of /wp-content called uploads. If not, create it, and give it write permissions. (Usually 755.)

In reply to: My post will not show.htaccess is in your root. Specifically your WP root. You access it via your FTP program (how you transfer files to your server). CHMOD shouldn’t be a strange term for you if you have used an FTP program. It’s generally how you transfer plugins and themes to your WP site. Make sense?

In reply to: How to style Comments : Numbered ListDon’t the comments automatically number themselves? Isn’t that the point of OL (Ordered List)? WHAT am I missing here?

In reply to: conflicting database backup instructionsCan you login to PHPMyAdmin? For the time being, just export it to an *.sql file. You should use the WP-Backup plugin to download a copy of the *.sql file to your hard drive (or ask WP to email it to you).

In reply to: My post will not showSounds like Pretty Permalinks isn’t turned on. Go into your WP Dashboard, on the right side, click “Settings” and then “Permalinks” to restore your previous permalink structure, although as far as I can remember, WP doesn’t usually disturb those settings on upgrade.

In reply to: I screwed something upDon’t look at the raw logs, that’s way over a newbie’s head. There is an Error Log icon there also, and it should show you the latest 100 or so errors. Those lines of code will tell you what file(s) is(are) stinking up the pond.
But judging from that error that mentions Zend Optimizer, sounds like your web host was mucking around with PHP… 🙂

In reply to: Deleting A User – Does It Remove Their Posts?If you wouldn’t mind, go ahead and add the tag “delete user” to the tags, and mark the thread [RESOLVED] so that others can benefit from this. 🙂

In reply to: Convert entire blog to single category?The thing I dislike about the Export/Import of the XML file is that it does not bring over any of your links. Why is this? I rely on the XML feature to migrate a blog from a testbed site to a live site and in this last instance, there were 44 links in one category and nearly 80 scattered across 3-4 more. The best I could do was import the links table, but even that, for some reason, wouldn’t populate the link categories, even tho I’d created them on the live site prior to bringing over the database table.
I’d like that to be a wishlist item for future releases.
Glad to see you got at least this problem nailed down, without any help from the forum.

In reply to: Custom Side BarSubstitute this code, it omits the h2 header that you see there.

In reply to: Permalinks troubleshootingYou do have an .htaccess file in your WP root, correct? CHMOD it to 666, THEN turn on permalinks, and THEN after WP updates the permalink structure, CHMOD it back to 644.

In reply to: Is there any way to delete all the comments in one go?Don’t you have Akismet installed? It automatically deletes all spam after a few days. It normally ships with WP. Go to http://www.wordPress.com and sign up for a blog to get an Akismet key.
Also, if you’re running WP 2.5.x and up, there’s a check box on the top header row, check that and all the comments will be checked and then you can bulk edit them.
