In reply to: error: category name already exists!I took a look at your website. It looks really good! But it does look like you already have a page called ‘Singles’, as this one right?
http://musicanueva.es/sencillos/
If you look at the url above, because you already have a page named ‘Singles’, WordPress will add a -2 to an identical type of taxonomy so that it knows where to route users. There can’t be two identical taxonomy types, otherwise, WordPress won’t know which one to send people to. You might need to think of another way of naming to get around the issue.
I had the same issue and found a solution.
I’ve also been using it for years. When it was installed years ago, I also installed the Slimbox plugin to enable that nice darken-the-screen to highlight the image and fade between images. Everything was working well until the upgrade.
After the upgrade, when clicking on a thumbnail, the whole screen darkened, then the image loaded underneath the darkened screen and there was no way to navigate from one image to the next. Clicking anywhere simply closed the darkened screen.
Solution: Disable any third party plugins that were used for jQuery or .js.
Then go into the Nextgen gallery settings, choose -> “Other Options”, -> “LightBox Effects”, then choose the one that works. I chose “Fancy Box”. (For some reason, “LightBox” cut off the caption included with the images, but “Fancy Box” does not.)
Now my galleries are working as before.

In reply to: Live Data from Excel Graph to WordPress pageIn that case, it looks like there are some plugins that might do what you are looking for. This is just one search type, but definitely look around to see what might work for you.

In reply to: Live Data from Excel Graph to WordPress pageThat could be a complex project depending on how you want the data displayed. (I’m working on figuring it out too.) Are you wanting something that takes data from something like a CSV file from one site and integrate it into your site – simply with no maps? Or are you wanting a page like this? http://hint.fm/wind/
That’s a little bit more involved – but quite lovely. (Perhaps a little .json, python, php and some .js libraries?)
Otherwise, if you’re looking for something like a screen scraper, there are plugins that might do what you’re looking for. I haven’t tried this, but it came up in a search:
http://wordpress.org/plugins/wp-web-scrapper/
It’s supposed to take data from one site, and display it in another.
Let me know what you find.

In reply to: Blogl MissingError code 500 is an internal server error. I’d get in touch with the server company that hosts your blog to see what’s going on.
Yes, you’re correct. WordPress can’t have any urls that are exactly the same, so it will add a -2 to create differences if it sees that there is already an identical one in order to avoid confusion.
It looks like it has been fixed.
The posts feed appears to be routed to the home page, and the music page now is fixed. I checked the music link from the slider and from the menu and both are now fixed pages.

In reply to: You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.I’ve never used WAMP, only MAMP, and I’ve had lots of issues with installing local environments on Linux Ubuntu.
It would help to give as much information as possible so that others can help.
For example, did you get to the screen where you add the information about the database and database user/password so that the config can be created – then at that point did WordPress tell you that it can’t reach the config file and tell you to copy and paste the code into the config? Did you reach domain/wp-login.php page? Instead, were you having issues logging in?
What is your operating system? Are you on a Windows7, 8 or XP system?
The more specific you are, the greater the chances that someone can help you. Here’s more information about permissions and WordPress.
My guess would be that the “Music” page is actually set to display the music post category. I’d first login and check the Setting -> Reading page to see where the posts are feeding. I looked quickly, but I couldn’t find another place the posts were feeding.

In reply to: You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.Tell us what local host you are using and where you are seeing the permissions problems.
For example, are you on MAMP, did you install it on your own Linux machine, with Ubuntu, or Bitnami… What system are you one?
Where are you seeing the permissions problem: when you try to upload a plugin, theme, install the config file…

In reply to: 5 minute install my ass!Hopefully you have already resolved it and are happily playing with WordPress on MAMP, but if not, I just started playing with MAMP again today (after not for a couple of years) and had a pretty easy time with it. MAMP has already been installed on my system, but I couldn’t remember how to install WordPress sites on it. This is what worked for me.
After MAMP is running there is an FAQ button at the top that tells you to configure it to port 8888 and that by default, PHP and HTML Pages should be copied into the htdocs folder which is located under /Applications/MAMP.
I downloaded the latest WordPress to my desktop, unzipped it, and renamed the folder to (anything you want) wordpress36. I then dragged the folder into the htdocs folder.
Then I went back into MAMP, went to the PhpMyAdmin section to create a database. Under “Create a new database”, enter a name, and remember it. To keep things easy, it can be named wordpress36. Leave collation as it is and hit “Create”. You’ll see it listed on the left hand side.
With MAMP running, I placed
http://localhost:8888/wordpress36/into the browser. Voila! There’s the WordPress create configuration page. Remember the database name that you just created, because it’s needed here. It asks for 5 things:– Database name: wordpress36
– Username: root
– Password: root
– Database host: localhost
– Table prefix: wp_I added / changed the first three, and left the last two as is. Obviously, don’t do this on a live server, but it’s fine for local installs.
I hit the button to create config, (which is always funner when one gets to the “Alright sparky… ” page) which lead to another screen that allowed me to pick an admin name and password, along with entering an email, and WordPress was successfully installed.
Hopefully it’s going okay for you now. It can be frustrating at times, but gets faster as one learns. Btw, it probably took me 5 times longer to write this than it took for me to install WordPress on MAMP. A WordPress install can be manually done on a live server in 5 minutes.

In reply to: Separate Blog Category Pagewebshowreviews, it’s a little bit difficult to understand what you are asking, but I took a look at your website. Right now there’s a contact form on the “Comedy” page.
I’m not sure if you want the latest current post or have all posts tagged or categorized to show up under “Category”.
In the case above, he had set certain posts to a certain category in order to get them to show up under a certain page. If that’s the case, follow the instructions above.
If you want all latest posts to show up at under the “Comedy” tag, then log into the admin and go to -> Settings -> Reading, then switch the front page to a static page, and set posts to the “Comedy” page.
Save the changes, then take a look at them.

In reply to: Separate Blog Category PageYes. That’s possible. You’ll just have to work on a few things to get that working.
It will take a few steps, but I should be able to guide you through the process. Nice website BTW.
Currently the way that the pages and categories are ordered are in the default way, such that the category of “Shows” shows up as
http://weareinfluxmusic.com/?cat=11
Ideally you want to do the next steps before the site is set up, but there’s nothing like learning as you do it. 🙂
– Go to Settings, then Permalinks.
– Under the Common Settings, you’ll see that it’s set at default. I usually choose “Month and Name”. That way, the category that is chosen, in your case, shows, will be used instead of a random number that is assigned.
– Save the changes.Then you can use a plugin like Page Links To that will allow you to set that page to pull in the post categories that are now tagged with “Shows”.
Hope that gets you pointed in the right direction.

In reply to: Anchoring to specific line on another siteUnfortunately, it is not possible to set an anchor link to a specific place within a webpage that you do not have access to.
The best that you can do (without access) is to link to the webpage.

In reply to: I want to remove comment countsWithout being able to see your site, I’d guess that the theme you are using is calling the comments within single.pgp and/or the page.php file. Single.php determines how posts are displayed, while page.php determines pages. Usually how comments are shown within the page or post, and thus are often determined by those files.
