In reply to: Uploads work, but not properly chmod’edLooks like the apache service is running under the user admin with the group admin, try chgrp admin uploads and chown admin uploads
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Uploads work, but not properly chmod’edI have been meaning to answer this question but got caught up in other items. The problem might be two fold in your case…and consequently, there are a couple of ways to solve it.
1) (If you have ssh access to your webserver AND have some admin priviledges on the server) The directory that you are uploading into has to be writeable by the webserver service (apache in most cases) and the files that are uploaded simply inherits the permissions of the directory they are put into. So if you have ssh (or telnet) access to your webserver, type
chmod -R 766 */path_to/uploads_directory_name*
You also have to make sure that the directory is owned by the webserver service. To do this without messings things up too much, type
chgrp apache */path_to/uploads_directory_name* (here I am considering that the webserver service is started by a user who belongs to the “apache” group, if you are completely confused, send me an email and I will try to help)
2) (if you host your blog on a webhost, not your own, so restricted access) Ask your webhost to please make sure your uploads directory from above is writeable by the webserver service (and you). They will figure out their own way. Then do the
chmod -R 766 */path_to/uploads_directory_name*
This should make the uploads directory work correctly.Forum: Themes and Templates

In reply to: sorting problemsHow much of the original template did you change? It is quite difficult to trouble shoot without looking at your code. I would suggest trying the original index.php that came with WordPress. If you dont have much information in your blog (its looks like you dont), try redoing the database, or simply start a new database.

In reply to: I created a 3 column CSS for WordPressI guess I should check with a lower resolution to see how my template looks. 😛 I fixed it for 1024/768. The issue was that the header CSS tag did not have margins setup. Should look a little better now. This hack should work for the main template as well Cena. Simply add this line to the default WordPress template (under #header):

In reply to: Config.phpLet us make sure you are using the right information.
1) http://users.quickfox.org/~username/wordpress/wp-config.php: did you replace ~username with your own username?
2) Dont go to wp-admin.php, that just contains the db setup information, go to …/wp-admin/wp-install.php
If you got the above error, you must be doing those things right, just changing your username for privacy purposes. Line 95 is probably referring to line 95 in wp-install.php where the SQL commands start setting up the Mysql database. Before we start looking into the database, lets get out basics looked at. While you are at it, make sure your Mysql database permissions are set right.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: How come get_links function does not match the calSorry, the hit the wrong button,
here is the code for the function prototype:
function get_links($category = -1, $before = ”, $after = ‘
‘,
$between = ‘ ‘, $show_images = true, $orderby = ‘name’,
$show_description = true, $show_rating = false,
$limit = -1, $show_updated = 1, $echo = true)
here is the call in index.php
get_links(-1, ‘- ‘, ‘
‘, ”, 0, ‘_rating’, 0, 1, -1, -1)
The function has 11 incoming variables and the call only uses 10. Am I seeing this wrong?Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Count RSS (or any kind of XML) accesses?Ok, I tried looking for b2stats in all the old places that it used to exist, and they were gone 🙁 I did find the version from dotdotspace.net and you could either get it there, or email me and I will send you the link to the zip file on my server.

In reply to: b2 style?This thread is quite a job. An anonymous person whining about a CSS that can be changed with a few simple modifications and fighting with the developers (who are doing HIM/HER a favor by providing this wonderful tool) is just too much. , I have a lot of respect for coders who spend their time working on free/GPL projects and I would be thankful rather than being vicious! Please be respectful of people providing you with a service. As for the admin interface, I consider it adequate. If you consider the admin interface too drab or dull, please modify the CSS yourself and if incapable, ask one of the forum moderators or other good samaritans to help you with one. The developers and their team should be responsible for judging the importance/usefulness of any addition, not a whiny no-name.
