Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Tricky site setup – possible with WP?Thanks a lot, Adam
We’re getting closer to something here.
But – two qestions:- Does “customizing your theme” include rewriting or modifying php?
(I don’t know too much about php, but inserting some code snippets should be possible.) - How do I make just posts assigned to the Toscana category appear automatically and just in the Toscana page?
I know you can click category links to open a category’s posts, but here Toscana has to appear as a normal link in a normal/main menu – like it is under Italia at Dolcevita.no.
Maybe I’ve just missed something here, even if I’ve used WP for about a year.
Thanks again

In reply to: Rename or even delete “blog”Thanks a lot – now I know where to start looking.

In reply to: Rename or even delete “blog”Anyone
– expected this to an easy one:
How to rename the “Blog” (and “Blog” link) which appears in a fresh WP installation.
I’ve done it before, so at least it WAS possible (in version 1.8). Something that’s left out now?
ThanksForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Rename or even delete “blog”Sorry – just setting up a trial site here:
http://www.dolcevita.no/wp/ – with the Blog as the final and not-to-get-rid-off link.If its a theme issue, I’d be glad to no. (The remix theme is commercial, so I’l get my answers there – if that’s the correct address.
To choose an other theme is not an option – I hope…)
Thanks 🙂

In reply to: Rename or even delete “blog”Thanks,
I’m aware of the possibility to giv WP its own directory, but that’s not what I’m actually asking about.
I just need to rename the link labelled “Blog”.
From the beginning, when you install WP, there are 2 links in the menu: Blog (with a post and a comment in it) and About. About is a normal page, which you can rename or even delet under Manage -> Pages.
But what about Blog? I can delete the post in it (“Hello world!”), but not delete Blog itself because its not in the Pages overview page.
Its no problem to keep the Blog page – if I could just rename it.
Thanks,

In reply to: impossible to login/logoutSolved!
A BIG HAND to MichaelH for taking his time. Where would we normal guys be without (busy but) helpful people with real know-how? Thanks!Solution
When/ if WP really screws up, this was the way to solve it:
(In this case my WP installation was in its own wp folder)
On the server – via ftp:
– rename the existing wp folder, to eg. wp_old
– create a new wp folder and upload a fresh wordpress installation. Don’t touch the index.php or the eventual .htaccess files outside the wp folder (eg. on the site root).
Remember: Most of the contents from the site are stored in the MySQL database, so you won’t loose that.
– From the wp_old folder, download the wp-content folder to your local wp folder.
(- Upload eventual selfmade photo folders to the wp/wp-contents folder.)
– Upload the theme you used – to the wp/wp-contents/themes folder. Check if everything looks OK.
– Upload your plugins one by one after checking which are compatible with your current WP version. Check for each plugin if everything works.Important
The WP-Cache plugin MIGHT have caused the problems. The plugin has added a new 3rd line in the wp-config.php file – which in turn might have triggered both cache error messages and made login impossible.That should be it. You get a fresh installation, keep your contents an run no risk of getting the same problem over again.

In reply to: impossible to login/logoutThanks a lot for giving it a try, but the problem’s still the same:
“Internal server error” when I try to login.
Now not even the site shows up, it just reappears if I re-upload the contents/cache folder. (No wp-content/plugins/cache folder in there)Since placing my question I have also
– replaced the wp-login.php file with a fresh one – no difference
– making a new downgrade, ensuring to transfer all in ascii mode (though the images would look funny, it should work)COULD IT BE IMPORTANT
– that the wp-login.php file has no owner nor group defined (in info window – the neighbouring files have)I’ve also tried to check all possibilities in the troubleshooting page here – apart from ajusting the MySQL settings on the server.
(By the way, I’ve also asked the ISP if it could be some soerver problem, but no answer in 24 hours)Still most grateful for any other tips – as for now to setup wp from scratch seems like a way to do it, but its rather radical.
The funny thing is that I’ve done upgrades on another site for a year without any problems – now I’m rather lostThanks,

In reply to: impossible to login/logoutReally noone? I’m stuck.
After having booted my computer, its even impossible to log in again.– Yes, I’ve reinstalled everything carefully 5 times.
– Yes, I’ve tried reinstalling my backup (2.3.2) – no difference
– Yes, I deactivated all plugins before rebooting, so its prepared for another reinstallOnly option seems to start from scratch – or is there any other way?
Grateful for any help!

In reply to: Correct mode for upload?Thank you.
Some details are easy to miss, but fortunately I’ve done this right.If anyone knows an ftp client for Mac which handles this automagically, I’d be glad to know.

Should I just delete everything and throw back in the 2.3.2 backup?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Migrating to WP – Correct prosedure?Thanks a lot! Just what I needed to know.
Now I can give it a go – “without no fear”
🙂Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Migrating to WP – Correct prosedure?One more thing, please
There’s already a WP installation running on the site (just for the blog part), but in its own blogg folder.
Could this be an issue when I build the new WP based site, or will it work fine as long as I have different MySql databases to connect them to?
Thanks,

In reply to: Mistake deleting cache folderDONE – performed new upgrade – BUT I’M STILL LOST
To log in or out is still impossible, though the rest seems OK
Now, I’ve carefully just activated plugins found in the 2.3.3 compatibility list
and also carefully uploaded the different files in correct upload modeAny hints would be truly appreciated.

In reply to: Mistake deleting cache folderThanks, Moshu
The setup is done by Install4Free (great help, truly) so I haven’t studied the details.
Anyhow, I did not touch the index.php file on the root (outside the wordpress folder) since I understood that (among other things) as containing the special setup.
(After upgrading, I’ve also clicked the Update permalinks because this is required to make the nextgen gallery work properly. It still doesn’t, but i think I’m close to a solution 🙂Now, I’ll try to make a new upgrade, then we’ll see.

In reply to: Mistake deleting cache folderThanks – that was quick
But I did deactivate the plugins first.SORRY – this really appears as a double posting after my initial one in the feedback forum was moved here:
