In reply to: Header imgThen learn some advanced CSS and post your drafts here, so we can help with practical examples;)
Making your design 800px wide instead of 760 won’t be so hard… it just involves some math:)
Good luck 🙂
PS You site loads teeeeeeribly slow from Europe… I’d recommend a better hosting (if you can afford it) – like DreamHost, it’s only 8 dollars per month and gives you 160+ gigs of space:)

In reply to: Missing in admin panelIs this after an upgrade to 2.1.2?
Maybe you uploaded OK all of your files, but sometimes (it happens) some do not upload and are 0K (zero in size). Maybe this is the case?
I am running 2.1.2 fine since yesterday, not until I did a force reload (ctrl + f5 in my browser) some of the images didn’t show:)

In reply to: Header imgYou can do almost anything with CSS nowadays, but you’ll need to read a lot in order to be free to do so:)
Why not use a premade theme with the requirements you have in mind? 🙂

In reply to: WordPress Database Backup pluginIt’s probably related to an encoding problem…
Drop a look into this thread:
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/44357?replies=4It won’t give you all the answers, maybe, but will point you in the right direction:) Something with the encodings in your case went wrong, at the moment of backup and/or restore MySQL, and you should dig deeper to see what and where.
(Note: This question maybe should be better addressed to How-to and Troubleshooting)

In reply to: <!–More–> URLs aren’t linking to actual article.Nice to see there’s a workaround:)
As to the…
I’m glad this was a quick fix, instead some ugly plugin i would have had to use.
..I wouldn’t say a plugin would be an ugly way of doing this:-) Because next time you upgrade, you’ll have to:
1) save the changes to the code of post-template.php somewhere,
2) upgrade wordpress, by deleting old WP files (including post-template.php)
3) edit manually again post-template.php so as to include the fix you need,and this will happen every time you make an upgrade;)
A plugin, on the other hand, would make things much easier – upgrade, reactivate plugin, and do not edit core files:)
But I do not know how easy/hard is to make this using a plugin – I am not strong in programming, unfortunately…
For now, I have to make only one change when I upgrade – to the file wp-db.php in /includes, because MySQL on my host uses Latin-1 or something of the sort as default encoding for interaction with php scripts, and as I use UTF-8 in my blog, to make characters display correctly both in the database and in my blog, I have to add
mysql_query("SET NAMES 'utf8' COLLATE 'utf8_unicode_ci'");in wp-db.php, otherwise things go quite messy:(
(You may refer to this thread for more info:)
And I’m dreaming one day to find an easy way to modify wp-db.php using a plugin instead of manual edit, but I guess this is quite complicated…
Cheers:)

In reply to: Header imgHello:)
I tried and I am really not sure that I can open your page:) //Note later: It opened, a bit slow maybe, but it did:)
As to the code – if you change some parts of it, so as to make your layout wider, you’ll have to check everything for consistency:) Like, if you have two columns, they are set to be of specific width, in concordance with the overall page width. So if you change the width of the container, you’ll have to modify other parts of the code as well:)
If you are not very strong in CSS, why not selecting another, wider theme for your blog? 🙂
But if you want to do it yourself, then try to match the new width of
#pagewith other elements – left column, right column, etc. Increase their width a bit as well. Make some computations. Experiement (better on a test page;-)Hope this helps:)
PS Currently your layout is 760px wide, yes?

In reply to: How to include one-line PHP code in admin_head using a plugin?Alternatively, I could have used:
function my_test_plugin() { echo '<p id="my-test-plugin"><a href="/en/' . substr($_SERVER['PHP_SELF'], 4, 200) . '" title="Switch to English">Switch to EN</a> ';…but I do not even know, why this didn’t occur to me in the first place:-)
Both ways it works, and thanks for the help (hope this thread might be useful for someone else as well) :)))

In reply to: How to disable wordpress auto fix on page postsI am NOT sure this might help, but try to un-check in:
/wp-admin/options-writing.php:“WordPress should correct invalidly nested XHTML automatically”
Now, this might affect your writing in a bit un-predictable way, as the function is supposed to fix yout mistakes when editing the html, so I wouldn’t advise you to make a permanent change by unchecking this.
On the other hand, you may just try to fix this issue with the TEAXTAREA, if it works, great, simply check again “WP should correct…” after that :=)
If it doesn’t help, let’s hope someone with more WP experience will suggest a better solution:)
