Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Moving WordPress – clarification questionsPROBLEM.
I did everything as you said, except my Transmit made me move — wouldn’t let me copy the files over.
Now nothing works. I can’t find my blog in either place. What do I do now? All I get is the BlueHost 404 screen at my domain, http://www.kiteastman.com
All steps double-checked.
My Index.php file is in the directory Public_html.
Also at this level is a file named:
php.ini.NEWCONFIGPOSSIBLYBROKEN
Under that is my wordpress folder.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Moving WordPress – clarification questionsok, thanks, just to clarify, this last bit:
“move your .htaccess to root. your permalinks may need to be reset… save to default, then back to custom”
… is all done AFTER I accomplish all the copying/moving steps, right?

In reply to: Moving WordPress – clarification questionsone more quick follow-up.
After all this is done, do I need to do anything with my permalinks?currently they are set like this:
Day and Name,

In reply to: Moving WordPress – clarification questionsOr…. What if i changed the name of my folder from /silverminnow to /wordpress? Would that accomplish the same thing or totally mess it up?

In reply to: Moving WordPress – clarification questionsRev. Voodoo, thanks for the helpful link.
I couldn’t find a specific section about specifically what I need to do. next.I’m trying to figure out if I should move my wordpress over to the parallel directory (from domain.com/silverminnow to domain.com/wordpress) before I start messing around with changing urls.
I need to BOTH move my original installation AND change URLs after that. I just need some really specific guidance re: order of these tasks. Thank you.

In reply to: Moving WordPress – clarification questionsOK, I’m plodding along with, but need some step-by step help. My next step is this in Admin gen’l settings:
4. In the box for WordPress address (URI): change the address to the new location of your main WordPress core files.
5. In the box for Blog address (URI): change the address to the new location, which should match the WordPress address (URI).
6. Click Save Settings.
7. (Do not try to open/view your blog now!)My answer to 4 would be http://www.kiteastman.com/wordpress
My answer to 5 would then be http://www.kiteastman.com but this does not meet the criteria that it should match.
Both of these are changes from my current blog location, which is http://www.kiteastman.com/silverminnow.Please let me know if I am on track so far.

In reply to: Moving WordPress – clarification questionsThanks. I did a successful backup of my wordpress and now I’m somewhat unclear RE: what to do next. Here’s a recap.
Also, I’ve successfully removed my latest WP install (up at root), and nothing has broken yet. So far, so good. The original is in http://www.kiteastman.com/silverminnow directory. This is where my feed comes from now.
I think that as long as I’m doing all this, I’d like WordPress to be in its own directory, one level below my root, which is actually at the same level as my current blog directory with all the wordpress stuff in it.
I’m looking at this part of the WP Codex instructions:
Create the new location using one of these two options:
1. If you will be moving your WordPress core files to a new directory, create the new directory.
2. If you want to move WordPress to your root directory, make sure all index.php, .htaccess, and other files that might be copied over are backed up and/or moved, and that the root directory is ready for the new WordPress files.So, I just created a new directory called WordPress, one level below the root, parallel to my current blog folder (silverminnow)
The OTHER set of instructions, http://codex.wordpress.org/Giving_Wo…_Own_Directory, describes the structure I ultimately want.
If this plan will work, specifically, which step is next? (from which set of instructions) My intention is to enable my readers to find me at my root directory (www.kiteastman.com) (which they can’t at this point.)
Thanks for the help.

In reply to: [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Make bigger thumbnails for album display imagesWait! Where do you put the code that cdpayne shared? It doesn’t look like it fits in the WP wysiwyg editor.
Is there a shortcode you can use in the wysiwyg editor on the album thumb page that will accomplish the same thing, i.e. sizing the thumbnails?
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Make bigger thumbnails for album display imagesThank you!
How about centering them in the middle of the page, or is that handled by the theme/template on which the album thumbs are displayed?If you are on a Mac, from the Finder menu there is a command, Empty Trash.
Not sure if this is what espsjurs meant.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: permalinks, feed address to blog posts after moving blogThank you. I realize I’ve already done it differently from these instructions, beginning with installing a 2nd wordpress. That is why the nature of my question is what can I do now given the way I’ve already proceeded. Any ideas?

In reply to: permalinks, feed address to blog posts after moving blogoops, i didn’t give you my real links because the site is in maintenance mode. Those shouldn’t be hyperlinks — just generic by way of example.
I have exact same issue. I completely removed all files via FTP after un-installing, then re-installed latest version; also running latest WP. I recreated all my galleries from scratch and am still having this problem.
