In reply to: WP for beginnersYes ezza is correct 🙂
Either you’re using the wordpress.com software, which is different than what we use here, or your User doesn’t have sufficient access privileges. Ask your client to make you an administrator.

In reply to: Can't log in but client canIf you can’t log in to her wordpress site at yoursite.com/wp-admin can you log in at yoursite.com/wp-login.php?
Sometimes there are plugins that do things to your admin, such as the Theme My Login plugin. Does it work when you go to wp-login.php?

In reply to: some shortcodes not workingIt could be a conflict with another plugin. It’s impossible to say without looking at the site, though.
When a shortcode is created, it’s basically a shortened version of a “call” function. So let’s say the shortcode has its own “ID” and another plugin / theme has the same “ID.” Which one is the correct one? Unfortunately, WP can’t tell the difference so if there is a conflict that could be the reason. Or maybe a rule in your theme code or another plugin is overwriting the shortcode.
So I wouldn’t say it’s a bug. All you can do is try to isolate the cause of the problem by de-activating plugins / changing themes and seeing if it works, or going to the plugin site and seeing if others are having a similar issue.

In reply to: WP for beginnersIs it a wordpress.com blog or wordpress.org self-hosted version?
You’ll definitely want an FTP client, but you can edit a lot in the Appearance > Editor section of the dashboard. You upload files via the media library.
You don’t need to download anything, as WordPress can be setup through a 1-click install through a hosting provider. You should get the Firebug add-on for Firefox though, so you can right-click and “Inspect Element” on a page.
It sounds like you need some hands-on training though. I did a live wordpress workshop several months back and still have the videos online… check them out here if you need help –

In reply to: [Booking Calendar] [Plugin: Booking Calendar] Free Version Functions Awesome!Yeah, the free version of this plugin is pretty useless and the author’s English is suspect. I’ve tried for days to get it to work, unsuccessfully, and now I have to report back to my client that you have to pay just to get the plugin to work. Disappointing. Wish someone would develop an alternative.

In reply to: Pages don't workYou’ll need to check the permalinks for each page to make sure they correspond correctly. This is below the Page title and above the content editing area. For instance, when editing the “About” page you’ll want to set the page’s permalink to http://www.gordianrescuetraining.com/about
Alternatively, you’ll also want to go to Settings > Permalinks and make sure to set your custom permalink structure to /%postname%/
