  • Yep, your domain expired. You can access the blog here, I believe:

    You should be able to login to your account at WordPress.com and change your email settings and also ask for support there (rather than her)e, since this site, WordPress.ORG, is for self-hosted WordPress sites.

    Ah. I Googled for “Business Directory plugin” and found this forum. No wonder it didn’t make a lick of sense that your documentation didn’t match what I had! And the shortcodes are eerily similar. Yours is [businessdirectory] and the one I am using (LDD Business Directory) is [business_directory]. Well, if I cannot get the items to display the way I want, I will definitely switch! I poked around on your site and your plugin looks to be more robust than the one I’m using anyway. Thanks for replying and setting me straight!

    On the WordPress dashboard, on the side, I have the following “options”:
    Directory Listings
    Directory Categories
    Add Listing
    Edit Listing
    Settings

    And Settings has just the one page, which I posted before. There is mo Manage Options or anything similar here. Do I need to purchase a premium version of this plugin to get those options?

    The workaround I had to do was to designate the default (Primary) sidebar as the blog sidebar. I created a Pages Sidebar to use on all the other pages. The bad thing about that is that if you have a lot of pages, you have to go into each one (you cannot use Bulk Edit) and change the Sidebar Dropdown to use the Pages Sidebar. This isn’t an issue if you are just building your site, but if you have an existing site that you’re trying to implement Simple Sidebars on, it can be a time-consuming process.

    So it looks like somehow the Blog Template is tied to the Primary Sidebar and won’t recognize another sidebar.

    I’ve done that, and did a workaround in another closed thread that used the Primary sidebar for the blog page and the Simple Sidebar sidebar for the main pages. Yes, I have selected the sidebar in the page dropdown; yes I have selected the Blog template on my blog page. The ONLY sidebar I can get to render on any page is the Paimary and Bottom. It ignores the Simple Sidebar sidebar completely even if it is selected. Ugh!

    I found the debug log. It starts out with thi:

    Then it spit out all the details about my design twitter account, which is the one I am having trouble getting loaded.

    Then, lastly, these three lines:

    I am having a really weird issue. I cannot connect to the ONE twitter account I want to use on my site, my web design twitter account. I can connect to every other twitter account i own, just not that one. Any ideas? I can connect to FB as well. I have poked around on my design twitter account and see nothing there that would cause this. Social acts like it is approving the account, but nothing shows up under account. I can add my personal twitter account without a problem, along with another twitter account for a non profit I manage. This is not a server issue because that same non profit web site is on my same server and there are no issues there. I’ve tried other browsers as well. I even disabled all the plugins except Social and Twitter Tools. Still won’t connect.

    Well that was partly my fault. I thought of it early on but then decided that wasn’t the issue. And as it turns out, it was an .htaccess issue, which has absolutely nothing to do with themes.In any case, all is well that ends well,right?

    And let this be a lesson. Just because someone is using a premium theme does not always mean the theme is at fault. Just sayin. 🙂

    Great news!!! Now I am sure you want to decompress by spending time with your camera, right? 🙂

    The only “gotchas” I see on switching themes is that if the Photocrati theme uses shortcodes (code that [appears] [in brackets]) you will have to reformat that, but just for testing, I don’t see harm in it. At this point you have nothing to lose, huh?

    But make me happy and do one thing for me first?

    Download this plugin:
    http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-db-backup/

    Ignore that it hasn’t been updated in awhile. It’s a great plugin and it is EASY to use.

    Once it is installed, run a backup. Save the backup to your hard drive somewhere.

    THEN change the theme. If something really bad happens, post back here and we can restore the database, which contains your pages, posts and settings, to how it was (inoperable though it may be) before the bad thing happenned.

    Be sure to save your changes on that .htaccess file. Then to back to your web site, refresh your browser page and see what happens. {{Crossing fingers over here!}}

    I think we get the point. Esmi. 🙂 It’s been said before already. If no one objects, I’ll continue to try to help as I personally don’t think it’s a theme issue. I could be wrong. But we’ll see.

    I think you need to modify your .htaccess file then. It has too many repetitive directives in it.

    You should just have one set of this:

    # 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 WordPress~

    Delete all the other instances of that code in the .htaccess file, save it and see what happens.

    And you have too many instances of the same directives in your .htaccess file and I think that is confusing WordPress.
