In reply to: Help – "Using a pre-existing sub-directory install" has not workedI think I will follow that advice – and hope it doesn’t come back to bite me later 😀
Thanks again for your help 🙂Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Help – "Using a pre-existing sub-directory install" has not workedThank you so much – that seems to have done the trick 😀
EDIT: Just seen your next post. All the pages seem to be working for me now. Where is the error you have seen? – maybe it was just while I was doing the changes? ….

In reply to: Help – "Using a pre-existing sub-directory install" has not workedIs it safe to delete the index.html – is it serving any purpose? (not that I can understand how it sat there quietly enough for two years but I am a novice!) I need to serve my wordpress site from root and I have a forum which has its own subdirectory and is served from http://www.joe-music.net/forum.
Or how would I define the right index file.

The one that you are seeing currently at root is from 2012 🙂 I have a current one with 2014 stuff on the home page – the blog roll from the news page link posted above for example should be on there.
I do have an index.html file in the root directory. It’s been there all the time but could it be causing a problem now?

In reply to: Help – "Using a pre-existing sub-directory install" has not workedAs an update – some of the pages seem to be working and have lost the “wordpress” part of their urls. But the homepage is not working – it is still holding onto the wordpress part of its url and so is the events page.
Some pages I can get onto include news: http://www.joe-music.net/category/news/ and About Joe http://www.joe-music.net/about/about-joe/ for example.Forum: Fixing WordPress

# BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /wordpress/ RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPressand get rid of all the rest.

In reply to: Background image problemsCan anyone help at all?
I thought it was tidier to keep them all together rather than a proliferation of threads 😀
Especially as presented in a numbered list. But hey ho – separate threads it is 😉
I’ll keep this one for item (1) (which also applies for item (7) )“1. yes, you can change format at Events > Settings > Formatting > Events”
I get as far as Events > Settings but cannot find a Formatting tab/entry nor anything else that seems to do the trick.
It was this thread: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-in-new-window?replies=2
So many settings with the new gallery which I hadn’t even realised were there. Will have to have a play around with all of them later to get the image sizes right, but setting the Lightbox option to Lightbox rather than Thick?? did the trick for me.
OK Scrap that.
I found another thread on the issue and went into the settings to play around a bit. All working fine now and it seems I do have lightbox somehow as changing that setting sorted it 😀I think I’m having the same problem.
The thumbnails and slideshow work fine (in fact the slideshow looks nicer, cleaner, than before although I need to adjust the size settings a bit).
But the single image setting goes to a page with just the image on and no stylesheet and, as the op says, you have to use the browser back button to get back again.
My site is http://www.joe-music.net/ and the galleries are at http://www.joe-music.net/wordpress/gallery/
As far as I know I don’t use lightbox and nor does my theme.
Thank you. Will start giving some of them a go. Conditional placeholders might be beyond me but will have a look!
Just one response at the moment re (3). I already have the currency format set.

In reply to: Giving WP it's own directory – changeThere’s not a lot of help for this issue 🙁
Is there a better place for me to be posting it?
Really don’t want to wreck my site trying it out without a bit of reassurance on the above points.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Giving WP it's own directory – changeFollowing up on this as I didn’t have enough answers at the time to feel competent to do it five months ago. Really hoping to get it sorted now if someone can reassure me re. the points above.
Also a bit confused where it says 6. Edit your root directory’s index.php. Does this mean the new one that I’ve just copied there? I already have an index.php in my root directory although the only thing in there is related to a piece of the site which I no longer use, so maybe I can just delete it before I go ahead with the instructions?
