In reply to: wordpress comment php download or save popping upCould be a number of things such as mod_security or PHP running out of memory to name a couple. What do your error logs say? Have you contacted your host?

In reply to: I can’t rewrite my cssI can’t rewrite my css
By that you mean…? What happens? Do you get an error message?
For the record I never use the built-in theme editor. When editing files I always do so using a plain text editor then upload the modded file using a ftp client.

In reply to: Medieval Scroll Theme neededI can’t think of a theme off the top of my head but a good place to start is the official WordPress Theme Directory. Also, Weblog Tools Collection features the release of new themes. Click the News link at the top then scroll to the bottom and click New WordPress Themes.

In reply to: Which Template is this??That’s amazing…how did you know so quickly.
Whoo is psychic. The good news for you is you don’t have to be. View source then plug the URL for the style sheet in your browser.

In reply to: Adding pages to links that are already on a themeHmmm, I seem to have double posted.
Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Adding pages to links that are already on a themeYou’re using the default permalink structure and it appears the links in your header are hardcoded. You have 2 ways to go about this…
1. Update your permalinks so that you’re using “pretty permalinks”. Dashboard > Settings > Permalinks Then when you create a page called Contact it will be automatically linked. More on that from the Codex.
2. Keep the default permalinks but you’ll need to edit the links hardcoded in the header. For instance, if you have a Contact page using the default permalink structure it may look something like yoursite.com/?page_id=10 Obviously you’ll need to edit the hardcoded link in header.php to reflect this.
I’m not sure what you mean by “hovering over the link”? A tooltip? If yes simply add
title="your tooltip"to the anchor tag.Forum: Everything else WordPress

In reply to: how to do clean-slate?Yes. Deleting all tables will empty the database while leaving it intact.

In reply to: Comments on pages?Some themes don’t have the call to the comments template in page.php. You’re probably missing …
<?php comments_template(); ?>Simply study the difference in your theme between index.php and single.php to see how this is implemented.

In reply to: how to do clean-slate?my posts from the old theme is appearing
One has nothing to do with the other. Content is stored in the database. I’m assuming by “clean slate” you want to deep-six the blog and its content and start over? Sort of like a reformat? If yes you can simply access your database via phpMyAdmin and drop all the tables then begin again. This will keep the database intact but empty its contents. Or you can always just delete the database altogether and create a new one.

In reply to: Fatal Error – “Allowed Memory”The problem is PHP ran out of memory for a process. If your host allows it you could edit your php.ini file. Most hosts set it at 8M. Look in php.ini for something like …
memory_limit = 8Mand change it to …
memory_limit = 32MIf you do not have access to that file you could try adding a line to your htaccess file as such …
php_value memory_limit 32MAlso, see this article in the Codex for editing your wp-config file. Scroll down to Increasing memory allocated to PHP
http://codex.wordpress.org/Editing_wp-config.phpIf none of these suggestions work then you’ll have to ask your host to increase the memory limit – if they refuse start looking for a new host. 🙂

In reply to: Can someone give me the old WP filesThe release archive is located at http://wordpress.org/download/release-archive
Be advised that downgrading is not a good idea for security reasons. The only versions currently supported are the 2.5 branch and the Legacy 2.0 Branch of which 2.0.11 is the latest.

In reply to: People enconding footer.php?There is always the official WordPress theme repository at http://themes.wordpress.net/
I’ve noticed an increase in the number of 3rd party gallery sites that employ the tactic you speak of. While many of the times they do it simply in an attempt (a feeble one albeit) to protect links it can also be used for more nefarious purposes. The bottom line is to STAY AWAY from this garbage. It’s also good practice to examine ALL files before you upload them to your server.
