Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Removing Header/banner title textI do have feeds for the site. I wish I knew more about this software! But I’m a writer and really don’t want to spend an awful lot time hacking code (and learning PHP). My old site which I created from scratch is just plain ‘ol HTML (with some Java thrown in) but the reason I switched to WP (having checked out a lot of the blog software around) is the time I spend creating pages for the site (over 2 gigabytes and growing), plus the fact that my G4 is groaning under the load.
But thanks for the help, all? I need to do now is sort out the backup problem I’ve got and then doing the upgrade!

In reply to: Removing Header/banner title textOkay, this works: h1 a {display: none} (Why is it not as good a solution?)

In reply to: Removing Header/banner title textNeither does -5000. In fact, the title hasn’t moved at all, it’s still stuck on the extreme left of the layout.

In reply to: Removing Header/banner title textOkay, 3000px doesn’t do it (some of the text is stilll poking out of the left side), neither does 4000. How many pixels should I shove it over?

In reply to: Removing Header/banner title textHi,
I assume you mean in the style.css for the theme. I’m a real novice at this, so before I make any move, I need to check (and double-check) before making changes.I found several refs to the h1 style description in the css file including this one:
h1 {
font-size: 3.4em;
text-align: center;
}Is this the one to replace because there are other refs to h1?

In reply to: Removing Header/banner title textThis is what I found:
<div id=”header”>
<div id=”header-image”>
<h1>/”><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></h1>
<div class=”description”><?php bloginfo(‘description’); ?></div>
</div>
</div>

In reply to: Removing Header/banner title textThanks for this but I’m using an adapted ‘Coffee Chick’ Theme which doesn’t contain the code you included above. Just to make sure that the header.php didn’t already exclude the WP title I added it and sure enough it appears on top of the image.

In reply to: Removing Header/banner title textHi Justin,
Don’t feel confident enough to mess with the header code (i’m totally ignorant of PHP). And yes, you’re correct, removing the blog title from WP means that the title disappears from the browser but is this a big problem (when I open my blog it shows http://www.creative-i.info/ instead of Creative-i.My banner image is in place.

In reply to: upgrading to 2.2.2Unfortunately not, the company that hosts WP have not given me write permissions EXCEPT for the wp_uploads directory in the wp_content directory. I’ve asked them to extend the permissions to the entire wp_content directory.

In reply to: upgrading to 2.2.2thanks, I’ll check it out. As to my description, it’s almost impossible to include the entire process without actually seeing it, but if you look at the WP docs, I’ve followed the instructions up to Step 9 faithfully.

In reply to: Removing Header/banner title textWell you know how I got round it? When you setup your blog just don’t give it a title, or if like me you’ve already named it, edit the info and leave title space blank. seems to work.
WP 2.2.1

In reply to: MarsEdit?Yes thanks, I discovered that it had something to do with the permalink and .htaccess and it works now but apparently it still needs some tweaking. Luckily a friend who is au fait with WP and PHP was able to rectify the problem for me.
I’m still learning the ins and outs of WP and feeling frustrated by my lack of knowledge (my other site is built entirely with HTML)

In reply to: WP 2.2 Doesn’t InstallHi,
I installed WP awhile back but on another host and this time, I’m getting the following errors when I try to open wp-config.phpWarning: main(): Unable to access ../../wordpress/wp-config.php in /www/business/5382/wp-admin/install.php on line 8
Warning: main(../../wordpress/wp-config.php): failed to open stream: Permission denied in /www/business/5382/wp-admin/install.php on line 8
Fatal error: main(): Failed opening required ‘../../wordpress/wp-config.php’ (include_path=’.:’) in /www/business/5382/wp-admin/install.php on line 8
Now I followed the installation instructions about uploading the contents of the directory into my root folder (inserted the correct names in the config file first), as WP sits on its own domain, but as you can see, it keeps trying to find WP in ../../wordpress/wp-config.php in /www/business/5382/wp-admin/install.php when there is no wordpress directory.
