  • well like to know wat is value after 0.9em ?
    do i have to put 10.em
    or 0.10em

    Values go as follows (from small to big):

    0.8em, 0.9em, 1em, 1.1em, 1.2em, etc. 🙂

    Cheers:)

    First, change all of your passwords! Even to your hosting panel, and mysql database, ftp, email (for recovering blog password!), everything.

    Then, check which version of WP are you running? It’s believed that 2.1.1 is vulnerable… (that some files were changed by an unauthorized person there to allow control over the blog), so if you’re on 2.1.1, chances are that’s the case…

    After you change your passwords, and if you run 2.1.1, try to upgrade, (but make MySQL backup before, of course, the usual stuff) and then see what happens…

    Hope this helps… 🙂

    Thanks!

    I forgot about Trackbacks and Pingbacks (never quite grasped the difference between them;-)… thx a lot! 🙂

    So these are spam trackbacks/pingbacks:))) hehe, OK:)

    (About Akismet, I use it, but I do not like to manually check comments… ‘Guess will have t osearch for something better;-)

    Of course… 🙂

    But as I checked the W3C Validator, I believe there are some serious nesting issues and/or incorreclty closed elements… So remains for Mestew just to find where the incorrect piece of html is:)

    600+165, sorry :)))))

    I guess, didn’t yet drink enough coffee this morning 😀

    Hi,

    You have a CSS problem, then, I guess:)

    Usually a column drops below another, when there is not enough space for it on the horizontal, so it goes below the other.

    Say you have a page layout with a main wrapper DIV with a width of 760px. Then you have main content DIV, with 500px width, and (let’s suppose) floating sidebar DIV with 165px width. The sidebar will then probably drop below your main div, because 500+165=765 and there’ll be not enough space for it.

    So this could be a problem with the CSS (or html) of the theme you use.

    But it also could be a variety of other options. Maybe you have modified it in a certain way, so it doesn’t display correctly now? Maybe you have added some small piece of content somewhere, which breakes the css layout?

    If you use a pre-made theme, first test without anything added. Try the theme as-is, if it works, then you have have made somewhere a mistake in the code of the page, while editing it.

    Also, test the site using the W3C validator!

    I see there are wrongly nested tags there! (or unclosed ones) (or both;-)

    Check everything, fix, experiment, and you most certainly will come to the point when the mistype will present itself to you:)))

    Good luck!;-)

    I did this stupid thing as well, once… Then fixed it in the MySQL database, by guessing where is that option stored;-) (worked!) So should be quite straightforward, just find and edit the appropriate url in the database:)

    I don’t know a solution for that.

    A plugin? Manual edit of some WordPress core file?

    I’d like to know how to achieve this, too!:-)

    Hello:)

    I’m glad you fixed it:)

    Good luck! 🙂

    (ps DreamHost recently notified all users that they upgraded from PHP 5.2 to 5.2.1 so this could bring some issues to your older plug-ins, if you used PHP 5… Just an idea. I’m hosted on DreamHost, too (http://www.optimiced.com), running still 2.05 – I hope I’ll upgrade this weekend.)

    Hi, Steph:)

    Here’s a fix, it may work, dunno, at least try it:

    To deactivate plugins:

    FTP to your WordPress blog, browse to wp-content directory, then rename *plugins* to anything else, then try to log-in again! Renaming of this folder should automatically deactivate all plugins, or so I read somewhere over these forums!

    If it doesn’t help, maybe the issue is more complicated. But first try this one, and then report:)

    (I’m still running WP 2.05 on PHP 5.2.1, for the exception of one plugin (LightBox) all appears to be OK… I guess I should upgrade soon, too.)

    –M.

    NOTE:

    I’ve used style=”width:186px;” instead of width=”186px” in the div and it worked.

    In HTML, width=”186″ is correct, width=”186px” is incorrect. In html EVERY NUMBER is in pixels, so shouldn’t be added as in CSS (in css [ width: 186px ] is correct, but [ width: 186 ] is NOT:)

    My $ 0.02 🙂

    In reply to: .htaccess help

    Check your .htaccess, what it CONTAINS, before SUSPECTING that this is the culprit 😉

    Check mydomain.com/.htaccess (using ftp; the file won’t be visible otherwise! you also might need to set up your FTP client to show hidden files)

    and also mydomain.com/blog/.htaccess!

    If you open your blog and then click on ‘page’ link – does it work then? or it doesn’t work only if you type mydomain.com/blog/page in the address field of your browser? Give more info and (optionally) url:)

    In reply to: Number on comment

    Other option, you can number the comments using two lines of PHP, I recently did so for my new WP website:)

    In file comments.php of your theme, find this code:

    /* This variable is for alternating comment background */
    $oddcomment = 'alt';
    ?>

    and add this, so the code becomes:

    /* This variable is for alternating comment background */
    $oddcomment = 'alt';
    $commentcount=1; // added line!
    ?>

    After that, simply decide, where you want your comment number to be showed:

    1) Let’s say, you want them shown on the line which says smth. like this:
    “January 15th, 2007 at 12:15”
    and it should become smth. like this:
    “Comment #3, posted on January 15th, 2007 at 12:15”

    To do this, find in comments.php:

    <small class="commentmetadata"><a href="#comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>" title=""><?php comment_date('F jS, Y') ?> at <?php comment_time('H:i') ?></a> <?php edit_comment_link('e','',''); ?></small>

    (NOTE: Your code could be different according to theme used. Look for something similar!)

    Then, add

    <?php echo $commentcount++; ?>

    where you would like the number to appear – in this case, it could be done like this:

    <small class="commentmetadata"><a href="#comment-<?php comment_ID() ?>" title="">Comment #<?php echo $commentcount++; ?>, posted on <?php comment_date('F jS, Y') ?> at <?php comment_time('H:i') ?></a> <?php edit_comment_link('e','',''); ?></small>

    Easy:)

    2) If you want them to appear like big number with faint color somewhere at the top right of each comment (you’ve sen lots of examples of this sort), then you need to make two modifications:

    a) In your comments.php file, add a

    <span class="comment-number"><?php echo $commentcount++; ?></span>

    before the code

    <small class="commentmetadata"><a href="#comment-<?php comment_ID() ?> etc. etc.

    b) In your style.css file for your theme (search for a .CSS file in your theme dir), first, add the following to the class concerning all LIs for the class “commentlist”:

    .commentlist li {
    /*other styles be here*/
    position: relative; /* this is added! */
    }

    After that, add the following somewhere in the same CSS file:

    .comment-number {
    position: absolute; /* this and next two lines place comment number at top right of each comment */
    top: 0;
    right: 0;
    color: #CCC; /* any color here */
    font-size: 30px; /* any font size */
    font-family: Georgia, "Times New Roman", serif; /* any font-family here */
    }

    That’s it! 🙂

    Hi,

    It’s probably related to some settings in your Control Panel / your hosting / DNS.

    What kind of error it gives?

    For example, when I was setting up my hosting with DreamHost, I had an option of:

    1) Use both http://www.mydomain.com and just mydomain.com
    2) Redirect http://www.mydomain.com to mydomain.com
    3) Redirect mydomain.com to http://www.mydomain.com

    I guess, in your case, the WWW option isn’t properly working/set up. Check through your panel. You may also ask your host in a support letter/ticket to check this for you and to make so www… also works as the other option (with out the “www” prefix).

    Hope this help? 🙂

    Hey, as moshu pointed out, the correct way is editing the timestamp.

    How do you expect the search engines to “know” about a page, which isn’t published yet ???:D LOL

    Editing the timestamp will tell wordpress to publish the post on the day and time which is set up in the timestamp (correct?)!

    So don’t worry:)
