In reply to: Categories in Alphabetical OrderI didn’t have any problems changing the order of the categories.
Just replaced the default categories code
<?php list_cats(); ?>with this:<?php list_cats(FALSE, ' ', 'name'); ?>Easy as pie!

In reply to: 404 Not Found – permalinks and arhciveslimbikity,
I finally managed to fix it by downloading some software called HTAccessible which you can get from http://www.tlhouse.co.uk/HTAccessible.shtml
What you do is create a .htaccess file using the software and upload it to your server.
Then update your permalinks in WP-Admin, copy and paste the code it generates into the .htaccess file you’ve just generated and upload it again.
It should then work.
You can also make your own 404 error pages using the software.

In reply to: 404 Not Found – permalinks and arhcivesMorning all, ok, still no resolution on the problems – I’ve decided it’s something to do with the .htaccess file – though what, I don’t know. Even though I’m using 1.5.1.1 it doesn’t seem to be generating the .htaccess file.
I really don’t know what to do – I’m stuck with index.php in the middle of my permalinks, which I don’t want. I tried updating the .htaccess file the way it suggests in the WP codex, but that crashed my site.
If I had known I’d have these problems, I doubt I would have switched to wordpress, as I don’t know enough to be able to fix anything. If anyone can help, please let me know.
Thanks.

In reply to: 404 Not Found – permalinks and arhcivesSorry to keep posting, I just don’t understand what’s going on. (not a devious attenpt to bump the post, I promise)
Anyway, I’ve managed to fix the problem for the time being – though it does mean I’ve got to have a messy post / archive url with the inclusion of “index.php” but I’ll try and solve the problem later – eyes seeing double so need a break!

In reply to: 404 Not Found – permalinks and arhcivesOk, I changed siteurl to home and pressed ‘go’ but it doesn’t seem to have done anything. There was a message at the top that read:
Affected rows: 1
SQL-query:
UPDATEwp_optionsSEToption_name= ‘home’ WHEREoption_id=1 ANDblog_id=0 AND CONVERT(option_nameUSING utf8 ) = ‘siteurl’ LIMIT 1 ;if that means anything to anyone?

In reply to: 404 Not Found – permalinks and arhcivesOk, I’m in PhpMyAdmin and I’m not sure what I’m meant to do. Here’s a screencap of where I am.
