In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionYou can access your wp-config.php file through an FTP client like FireFTP or Cyberduck, or through your webhost’s cpanel interface.
I just set up a new WP site yesterday, got it all designed/configured, and received this message this AM. When I opened my wp-config.php file it did, indeed, have an extra empty line of code at the end. I deleted it with my text editor and now the site is back up.
Weird, I know. But it worked.
P.S. Speaking from experience, ALWAYS back up or compress a copy of any file you are going to mess with. Good luck!

In reply to: I get the Admin Log in screen – Then Blank… Pls HelpHI Turan, don’t know if you fixed your problem, but I just spent the better part of the day muddling my way through all the forums’ suggestions on how to eliminate the “white screen of death” after login. Finally came up with my own fix for the same problem.
I’m running a child theme of Thematic. In the child theme’s folder, I first downloaded a backup up my functions.php file for safekeeping, then deleted the functions.php file so it would default to the Thematic functions.php file instead. Eliminating my child theme’s functions.php file did the trick.
Hope this saves someone a few hours of headache.

In reply to: How to display Cyrillic (Russian) fonts?I figured out a fix. It involves messing with the database files, so it’s not for the faint of heart… but it seems to have worked.
I use cpanel for hosting admin and database management. In PhpMyAdmin, I opened the dbase table for wp_icl_translations, then clicked on the “edit” icon for the page I wanted to appear in Russian. I changed the source_language_code to ru, then selected from the Function pull-down menu “MD5” and saved it.
Then, back in WP, I copy and pasted in the Russian copy and saved it. Voila.
Hope this helps someone else save a bunch of time.
Think I got it to work. When I checked back about 10 minutes ago, the Options panel displayed correctly, but the slideshow was still goofy. I disabled and then enabled the plug-in. I also cut-and-paste the expanded shortcode with specifications to replace where I had the basic [FrontpageSlideshow] shortcode.
Looks like it’s working again as expected. Thank you for your work on this plugin. I will make a donation. 🙂
Any suggestions for getting it to work? I was very happy with it. Thanks in advance.
P.S. Sorry for the duplicate post under @doctorb. New to this forum. 🙂
My plugin stopped working after I made the most recent upgrade. Now Frontpage Slideshow options only show “In Case of Trouble” content. The How to Use box stays collapsed.
I also get the error message: “Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/swimmi11/public_html/blog/wp-content/plugins/frontpage-slideshow/frontpage-slideshow.php on line 685”
Not sure what my plugin unique id is, as I can’t find it without access to the plugin panel.

In reply to: One or 2 sentences in Russian on my blog@geezerd, I need to do the same thing. Did you find a solution in the last 9 months?
