In reply to: Excessive padding-left in Dashboard comments CSS?The “gap”, as you call it, is where a commenter’s Gravatar will be displayed, if you have them enabled on your blog. I’m assuming that you have them turned off?
Did you read the documentation for that theme and follow all the steps?
If your WordPress blog worked fine before you installed that template, then the problem is most likely with the template. If you are sure you have installed it correctly, then you need to go back to the theme author, show them the link, and ask them for help.
In the meantime, you might want to switch back to the default theme.
Also, did you install this on WordPress 2.6 or 2.7? You’ve got 2.6 selected as your WP version for this post.

In reply to: FTP Syntax to auto-update PluginsThe FTP credentials should be the same as you enter into your FTP program when you connect to the server yourself. Example:
Host: mywebsite.com
User: myusername
Pass: mypasswordWhat FTP program do you use when you manually update files on your server?

In reply to: Starting OverDon’t delete your existing blog; instead, upgrade it from 2.6.x to version 2.7. Upgrading will preserve your existing content.
Read the detailed instructions for upgrading to version 2.7 before attempting the upgrade. Pay close attention to and follow each step carefully.
Make sure you back up ALL of your files (via FTP) and your database (via phpMyAdmin) to your local computer before doing the upgrade.
Once you have successfully upgraded, you can then install a new theme and begin tweaking things to get it looking and working the way you want it to.

In reply to: [Plugin: WordPress Download Monitor] Error on line 2057Just checked back on the author’s site, and he says there will be an update to the plugin on Monday (12/15).

In reply to: [Plugin: WordPress Download Monitor] Error on line 2057I’m getting the same error as well after upgrading to WP 2.7. I just left a comment with the error message on the plugin author’s website.

In reply to: I’m scaredccnews – You should also read the Extended Instructions for Upgrading WordPress to 2.7 – a lot of helpful information there for someone not familiar with the upgrade process. Make sure you follow the directions carefully and I don’t think you’ll have a problem.

In reply to: Just tried to upgrade to 3.0 and now everything is fubarWarning: require(/home/nancymk/public_html/wp-includes/compat.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/nancymk/public_html/wp-settings.php on line 238
Did you check via FTP that the compat.php file is in the wp-includes directory? It’s possible that not all of the files got uploaded.

In reply to: Other Options to Upgrading Besides Upgrading to 2.7?AFAIK, there is no other way to upgrade to 2.7 except using all of the files in the final release package. There have been too many changes since the Beta1 release.
Did you report your issues with the commenting system and the automatic upgrade to the devs by submitting a ticket in Trac so they could help you get them resolved?

In reply to: Second blog at parked domainAndrew –
I don’t know anything about webnet77 – I’m not hosted with them. When I did the search for the definitions of parked domains vs. addon domains, they had the best explanation. That’s not to say they aren’t a good host – I’m just not familiar with them at all.
I’ve got hosting accounts with a couple of different companies, and have dealt with several others working with clients. I myself prefer Eleven2 – most programs installed there just “work” right out of the box.
You might try taking a look at the list of webhosts listed on the Core Update Host Compatibility page, specifically the ones under the heading “Working hosts, no issues”, to try and find a new host that will allow multiple domains on one account.
Do your research on several of them, and ask them any pre-sales questions you might have before signing up.

In reply to: [Plugin: WP Hide Dashboard] [Plugin: WP-Hide-Dashboard] Thank you!You’re welcome. 🙂
I’ve tested it in WP 2.7, and the plugin works for that version as well.

In reply to: Second blog at parked domainIf your webhost allows multiple domains on your account, then the new domain really should be an addon domain (if possible) rather than a parked domain. I’ve included descriptions of both below to explain the differences:
Parked Domain
- You have two domains mysite.com and my-other-site.com.
- mysite.com is the domain of your website and you want to add my-other-site.com.
- You want them both to go to the same place. In other words, when someone types either http://www.mysite.com or http://www.my-other-site.com they will go to the same page(s) on your website.
- In order to have additional parked domains you need to purchase them from a domain registrar.
Add-On Domains
- You have two domains mysite.com and my-other-site.com.
- You want the two domains to be totally separate/independent websites.
- In order to have additional add-on domains you need to purchase them from a domain registrar.
[** Source: http://webnet77.com/webstuff/parked-add-on-domain.html%5D
Talk to your webhost and see if they allow addon domains and, if so, ask them how to go about setting one up once you have the second domain name registered.

In reply to: Dashboard For memberserichamby –
I’m the author of the plugin that cmolway linked to.
No, you do not have to use any other plugin in order for mine to work properly. Simply upload it to your plugins directory and activate it on the Plugins page – no configuration necessary. If the user is assigned to the Subscriber role, they will not see the dashboard link nor will they be able to access any other part of the admin section outside their profile page.
I think you were thinking of the IWG Hide Dashboard plugin, which requires the Role Manager plugin being installed/activated in order to work.
Let me know if you have any other questions about how my plugin works.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: 404 error on private pagesI finally resolved this issue. I removed the Role Manager plugin after finding another one (wpNamedUsers) that did what I needed without having to create a special role for each client.
I’ve written an article on how I accomplished this, and am linking it here in case anyone else has the same issue and wants to know the solution.
