Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: After installing: WordPress database errorHi MichaelH,
Yes, when I look at the tables everything looks fine. Actually, I can log-in and the dashboard works fine so I can look at what’s there through manage posts & pages.
It just won’t display as a blog.
One suggestion is that it could be an encoding issue. But I won’t be able to check it until I get to work tomorrow.
It’s PHP 5 & MySQL 5 — oh, could it be that? MySQL 5? I think we’re running MySQL 4 on another server??

Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: standard installation with wrong queryI’ve installed wordpress several times on hosted blogs.
So I didn’t think I’d have any trouble getting it up and going here on out Intranet at work (where I’m the Web Coordinator).
But I keep getting this error message referred to here.
I’ve poked around in the classes.php file, but that query is built with code that includes double quotes nested within single quotes.
And when I try to just trade them out, I get a parsing error. (I think it’s line 600-607 of wp-includes/classes.php — is this correct?)
We’re using FreeBSD rather than Linux, do you suppose that’s why this code is causing me grief now when it never ever has?
I’m sorry to sound like an idiot, but I just know how to get WP going. I’ve tried it 4 or 5 times with no success.
Does anyone have any suggestions?

In reply to: List post titles in a certain categoryOh, I guess you’re saying that the code should be working for me. So, I must just be doing something wrong.
And I guess I’ll have to keep poking at it.
I do appreciate your help.

In reply to: List post titles in a certain category“Which means, you should use the code above, and before posting theoretical questions you can always test it ;)”
I did. I tested all 3 examples and poked around for a couple of hours trying to get them to work before posting my question. And also tried a couple of alternative samples too.
I guess I should have said that explicitly. But the fact is I’ve never asked a question without trying to solve the problem myself.

In reply to: List post titles in a certain categoryHi,
I’m interested in something very similar to this. I am currently maintaining pages that list links to each article in a particular category.
These are ‘special categories’ that lots of my visitors like to check regularly. And I don’t want the whole post listed on the page — just the title with a link to the article.
But, I don’t have permalinks enabled (I’m afraid of destroying my site by attempting it.)
So, I don’t think these solutions work for me (or I’m doing something else wrong?)
Is there a way to implement a list like this by using something besides the permalink?
Or possibly a permalinks for dummies instruction sheet 🙂 If they are absolutely required??
Any help would be wildly appreciated.

In reply to: I’ve corrupted my WP BlogWow– I could have sworn that I checked that (really) & that a friend did as well. I deleted both the wp-admin & the wp-includes folders and replaced them from another working set. N
Thank you very, very much.

In reply to: I’ve corrupted my WP BlogI was thinking about reinstalling the files, but all the steps start out with deactivating plugins. And I can’t do that since I can’t get into the site admin.
Unless there is a way to do that through PHPMyAdmin editing the database?

In reply to: I’ve corrupted my WP BlogYes, I do have a wp-includes/wp-l10n.php — although one of the messages implies that I don’t.
And no, I haven’t moved the files.
