sidebar.phpis located in thewp-content/themes/yourthemefolder. It says explicitly in the instructions to NOT touch that folder.Just follow the instructions and you will be upgraded in literally minutes. I did it in less than 3 and I heard someone else did it in less than 2 minutes. It takes longer to read the instructions.

In reply to: Have I finally figured out how to caption images?There are many ways to do this. If you put a width restriction in your CSS, then put an image narrower or wider, you have problems. For examples of different ways of captioning and framing your photographs, you might look here.
There is a lot to consider when trying to caption images, including the space around the images, the size of the fonts, the padding around the image, within the container – it gets complicated. But stick to the simplest look you can and it will be fine.

In reply to: Help!!!!!!!!!!!Instead of limiting yourself with something that sounds terrible, try Filezilla, SmartFTP or any of the other many free FTP Clients to upload your images.
This isn’t a WordPress issue, though.

In reply to: Javascript in pagesForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How do I Uninstall WordPress program?There are instructions for accessing the database depending upon your version of server control panel at WordPress Backups. Find the information related to your server control panel and follow the instructions to access PHPMyAdmin. Use the password and user name you used to setup WordPress, and then go into PHPMyAdmin and find the WordPress database. Delete it.
Realize that all the posts you have entered will also be deleted. If you would like to export them, there are instructions on the WordPress Backups article for backing up your database, which will also save your posts.
When that is done, access your site with an FTP Clients and find the WordPress folder you may have installed WordPress to. Delete that. If WordPress was installed in the root directory, find all the files appropriate to WordPress and delete those and all the related folders. They are pretty obvious.
Then it will be gone.
You will then need to find another way to display content on your website.

In reply to: MT to WP: imported posts not foundDid you look in your database? Look there to see if all your posts are there, and they are in the right tables. Excerpts in excerpts, titles in titles, post content there, etc.
If they are all in the right tables, then there is something else going on. I checked the site on your name and it shows a lot of posts and no category for uncategorized, so you may have fixed this or it is a different site.
So what is the status now?

In reply to: Posts in categories where there are noneNo posts or the categories shouldn’t exist?
If you have been moving things around, you can sometimes inadvertently assign posts to a category that it doesn’t belong. Have you looked in that category and seen no posts on your site?
Did you recently install any plugins?
We just need a little more information to help us determine what happened.

In reply to: Paypal button problemYou cannot use a script inside of a post without a lot of work. If it is a javascript, see Using Javascript. If it’s a PHP script, you can’t run those inside of a post, only on templates, like javascripts, without some serious messing around and plugins.
Keep it in the template files and it will work great.

In reply to: Categorize pagesAre you talking about Pages or post pages? Those can easily be categorized in your sidebar. See Customizing Your Sidebar, but Pages, with a capital P, cannot be categorized.
