Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WordPress 2.3 RC Upgrade problemI had the same issue. I follow the detailed instructions (as I have in the past for an upgrade), deleted the necessary files and kept the important ones, uploaded the working version this morning of 2.3 and I went to my admin page and I was told that my database was out of date, I need to upgrade.
I missed the message about it taking a while, so when I clicked upgrade now, it came to a white screen and I soon after refreshed. That was my mistake. Now I am getting database errors and duplicate entries;
WordPress database error: [Duplicate entry ‘1-category’ for key 2]
Starting to freak out a little bit, don’t know if it is still working in the background or if I need to do a fresh install or what…
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Calendar Plugin – Kieran O’Shea – Use for Editors and AuthorsOk. I kind of wanted to be done with this, so I went ahead and installed wp-cal instead. This plugin had the same problem, by default it used a function called user_can_edit_post in deprecated.php under the wp-includes directory to check to see if a user could post a calendar event. By default, only a user account with a level “10” in the database could post. I made a copy of the function, and added an or “||” to make it ok to post for level 7 (editors and authors).
I did a search, I didn’t think Kieran’s plugin made a call to this function, but if it does I am sure you could do a similar change to make his plugin work in a similar fashion.

In reply to: Blog (and theme) don’t appear. File Permissions problemAre you using a non-modified canned theme? You could do a fresh ftp of the latest build of WordPress, which is pretty easy and reapply your theme and start over with troubleshooting your plugin.

In reply to: Tagline in Browser WindowDid you go and enter the title of the blog in the options? Or are you talking about specific topic headings?

In reply to: error on pageWhat browser and version are you using? The error is probably consistent across, but it would be worthy to note anyway.

In reply to: button changeYou are going to need to know some CSS to change the properties of that list to get a common look on the buttons to work consistently and still feed the links from the database.

In reply to: button changeYou will need to find the loop where your list of html navigation links are split out, and replace those with your Photoshop image based buttons. There are some ramifications to using images, have you thought through the search engine, scaling, and database advantages by sticking with text based links?
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: WP files turn to Dreaweaver files why?By default, you may have .php files set to open with Dreamweaver if you have it installed on your system. This is setup on a default install of the software, and if you didn’t diverge from this, that is the file association you will see. Fortunately this is fairly simple to change.
Are you using a windows machine or a mac?

In reply to: WordPress maxing out server, slowing websiteAs it appears right now, it looks like a completely fresh install, and reimporting all of my data and posts had fixed my server load error.
As of right now, I suspect bad character breaks and other characters as the culprit, upon import I have a ton of strange characters in my spaces.
I will keep this topic open until I know for sure, hopefully by the end of the weekend.

In reply to: WordPress maxing out server, slowing websiteI thought briefly, well, even though WordPress doesn’t come with an .htaccess file, maybe it needed one for some reason, and it needed have write permissions of 666.
But I added that, and that didn’t seem to help either.

In reply to: WordPress maxing out server, slowing websiteCould I have problems with 100’s of repeating requests for these categories if I have any broken image links within the posts?

In reply to: WordPress maxing out server, slowing websiteCould the problem be a header redirect stuck in a loop? Or a bot that is reading every post in a category?
