In reply to: Having Posts Show Up In Your Own ThemeThis may seem like a silly answer but I want to rule it out. You are using The Loop …
<?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>in conjunction with either

In reply to: Comment security code failHi aliceharold,
I just submitted a test comment on the Chocolate Fudge Cake post with no problems. (feel free to delete it)
I’ve never seen WordPress output such an error. Despite the fact you say you are not using any type of “input spam-net” it sounds like you are, or did. Have you ever used such a plugin? Have you seen the error for yourself?

In reply to: Admin side posts/pagesHi lukstruk,
I think I know what you mean but if not please correct me.
WordPress uses pagination in in the Posts and Pages section of the Dashboard. You can choose how many posts/pages you would like to appear per page. For example, in the Edit Posts section, click “Screen Options” at the top of the page. Have a look at the image linked below.

This will pull down an options menu where you can then select how many posts you want to appear per page. Have a look at the linked image below.

You can do the same for pages. Hopefully this is what you meant.

In reply to: Removing tabsHi mjblake,
Upon opening
header.phpI saw the following …<?php echo buildMenu(); ?>That is a custom function which would be defined in the theme’s
functions.phpfile. I looked atfunctions.phpand discovered that theme has its own Options page. DUH, I should have looked first.Okay, from the WordPress Menu to the left, navigate to Appearance > Alibi3col Options. From there you can omit any pages from appearing in the horizontal navigation menu by inserting the applicable Page IDs into the field provided.

In reply to: Error displaying blog posts on a custom blog page?Hi ideasforhumans,
Just a shot in the dark. You say you have a custom page named ‘blog’ which is supposed to display posts. When you say custom page do you mean you have created a new Page Template? If so, under the Create/Edit New Page menu, have you assigned that new Page Template to the new page from the drop down menu?

In reply to: SVN & WordPress ThemesHi shalzers,
Although I use SVN in a local environment, I’ve never used it on a remote server therefore I’m not sure of any possible nuances. Perhaps someone more knowledgeable can pipe in.
In the meantime, check to make you haven’t nested the theme folder. It should be,
/wp-content/themes/your-theme
as opposed to
/wp-content/themes/your-theme/your-theme

In reply to: Changing Home Link To Something ElseHi 3nikki,
If you open
header.phpyou will see a file include. Look for the following line …<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/nav_menu.php'); ?>That is a file include. It is calling a file named
nav_menu.phpSo, we opennav_menu.phpand see the following …<li><a <?php if (is_home()) echo('class="current" '); ?>href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>">Blog</a></li>Change the anchor text to whatever you want.

In reply to: rss feed returns ‘404: Object not Found’Not sure why you’d want to either. RSS isn’t meant to be viewed in a browser (although it can be). It is meant to be viewed in a feed reader – either web-based or desktop app.

In reply to: A terrible noobie…need helpThis is actually a question for the wordpress.COM forums … but what the heck. Have a look at the following link,

You will need to contact Bluehost for the nameserver you need. It will look something like ns1.bluehost.com

In reply to: Error after installationI’m assuming you accidentally marked this resolved as I see the error is still present.
Whenever you see this type of error message, the file mentioned first is the culprit and the file mentioned second is the victim. In this particular case the culprit is the wp-config.php file and the problem is at Line 1. My guess is whitespace.

In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionHi unluke,
The wp-config.php file will ask for a few bits of info, namely …
/** The name of the database for WordPress */ define('DB_NAME', 'putyourdbnamehere'); /** MySQL database username */ define('DB_USER', 'usernamehere'); /** MySQL database password */ define('DB_PASSWORD', 'yourpasswordhere'); /** MySQL hostname */ define('DB_HOST', 'localhost');Based on what you posted, you have 3 bits of info …

mysql15.000webhost.comThe first 2 will be the DB NAME and the DB USER. I don’t know which is which. The last one (mysql15.000webhost.com) should be the DB HOST as I believe 000webhost.com doesn’t use LOCALHOST.

In reply to: My settings page has no blog picture optionIn the WordPress intro, it says that if I go to “settings” and then “general”, I should see a “blog picture” button that allows me to then choose a file to crop and upload.
Where did you get this info?
Are you talking about a Gravatar? (a pic that is associated with an email address) See http://en.gravatar.com

In reply to: My admin page is not loading properly – get blank page after loginHi jebworks,
Looking at those strange URLs it looks like you’ve been hacked. In fact, I’d say you HAVE been hacked. My anti-virus won’t even let me look at your site’s source code – it gives me a warning about a Trojan.
There is some good info in the following thread. Take note of the links provided by esmi.
http://wordpress.org/support/topic/364764?replies=27
Edit: Looking at the source code of a cached version of your site (as of Feb 13) I see you are (were) running WordPress 2.8.4.
