In reply to: WordPress messed up. Please help?Did you upgrade to WordPress 2.7 or install a Plugin, make a change in your Theme, or do anything to cause these things to happen?
Without knowing what you did first, it’s hard to respond with answers.

In reply to: Lot of problems. Urgent please helpFirst, don’t delete any backups for weeks, maybe months, “just in case” the just in case happens. 😀
There are reports of WordPress being slow across the forum. Please check those for the answers, and install Google Gears to help speed things up.
Check the Plugin author’s site for updates and consider working without them until you have the rest of the problems resolved.
Check your Settings to see what you have set as your default post view and change it and save it and see if that makes any difference. You will probably have to refresh the page and maybe clear the browser cache to see the change.
Are you using FireFox or Internet Explorer? There are known issues with IE so consider trying FireFox to see if there is a difference.
Did you delete and replace the files in your root directory, too? That might be a part of the problem, but I doubt it.

In reply to: 2.7 has borked my dashboardDeactivate the Admin Drop Down Menu WordPress Plugin or similar Plugins and everything should work.
To create a sticky post, it is built into WordPress 2.7 and available on the specific post’s edit post panel. Check “Stick to the front page” option.
To deactivate all your WordPress Plugins, part of the upgrade instructions that should have been followed, use an FTP client to rename your Plugins directory temporarily. When you have finished the upgrade, then rename it and activate the Plugins one by one. Ensure that they are all updated and check the WordPress 2.7 Plugin Compatibility list.

In reply to: Other Options to Upgrading Besides Upgrading to 2.7?If you have set your Discussion options to moderate all comments, this will happen. I get that many comments a day and do not moderate, and they get through with WordPress 2.7 and not marked as Spam. Be sure and upgrade your comment spam Plugin, like Akismet, to ensure it is working properly.
Quick Online Tips recently featured WordPress Plugins for those who wish to stay with WordPress 2.6 which will give you much of the functionality of WordPress 2.7. Be sure and upgrade to the latest version, WordPress 2.6.5, to maintain a secure version.

In reply to: how to display single postI’m not sure I understand your request.
If you want to “display” a specific web page, then search your site for the post and view it.
If it is not showing up in your Manage/Edit Posts panel, and a search doesn’t turn it up, it might not be published. Check your Post Drafts on the Edit Posts panel.
To see a post on your WordPress blog, it must be “Published” and out of Draft status. Click the Publish button on the Add New Post/Edit/Write Post panel where you see the post content.

In reply to: no sidebar wordpress 2.7..The popular Admin Drop Down Menu WordPress Plugin is no longer required for WordPress 2.7, nor are other similar Plugins. Deactivate the Plugin if you are having trouble seeing the Dashboard or other Panels on the WordPress Administration Panels. You should see the full Administration Panels then.

In reply to: All Comments Disappeared, Can’t Add New CommentsIf you are running a WordPress Plugin that interacts with your blog comments, turn it off if you are using WordPress 2.7. Refresh (clear the cache) of your browser and see if this resolves the problem.
Did you install any Plugins or make changes to your Theme before enabling YouTube?

In reply to: What are the disadvantages of not upgrading to 2.7?Here are some more reasons why you should upgrade, security is one, convenience is another (auto upgrades in the future makes life easier), and mostly, many search engines and directories, including Google and Technorati, are considering penalizing older versions of WordPress due to the security issues. Spam sites are not likely to upgrade regularly is their thinking.
And MichaelH is right. Upgrades are just part of life. Your computer does it on a regular basis, as does all the software you use. Why should blogware be any different. 😀
Have you contacted the Plugin author or visited their site to ask there? They would be more familiar with that specific Plugin and be able to advise you there. Thanks.

In reply to: Page list in WP2.7wp_list_pages is the Codex page on the Template tag and it appears you have it correct, though double check that you have the proper text-based quote marks in the code as sometimes copying it from a page keeps the smart quotes in place.
Have you tried it with other arguments or with no arguments in the parameters such as:
<?php wp_list_pages(); ?>Did that work?
I’m also assuming that you are using the WordPress Template Tag (not a PHP command) within the WordPress Loop (in your sidebar) and that there isn’t some code or HTML causing problems leading up to the template tag.
