In reply to: links in comments do not open new windowSolution was removed from the support forum referenced by Moshu, and with several subsequent requests has not been re-posted. Could someone share the solution here? (and maybe there as well?)

In reply to: Display by Category home.php templateI am using a WP 2 theme, and saw your note on the demo about experimenting with WP2.
Has this file been tested for WP2.x?
I’m a bit skitish about trying out files not so checked as:
1) I’m a newbie, and
2) the first time I downloaded and tried a file designed for WP1.5 it ditched my blog and I was in pretty bad condition for a week trying to resurrect my blog.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: error creating archive.phpI’ve tried adding a bit of code to call for the sidebar (one difference between this file and the index file in my theme directory, but that didn’t help.
Then I held down the delete key in hopes of deleting any stray code that was invisible. Still no change.

In reply to: error creating archive.phpThanks for the pastebin.com suggestion. Now I know that my file has only 71 lines of code. I saw someone else on the support forum with the same problem, but no one has replied there.
Suggestions as to what I should do?

In reply to: Help With Displaced SidebarMaybe it was not clear, but among my checks were all the individual posts, including Post number 27. Width did not cause the problem here since every post rendered correctly with the sidebar intact.
This is an issue I have not seen anywhere on the forum, and though I’m a novice, I believe both Steve and I found the same result, baffling as it is.

In reply to: Help With Displaced SidebarI just discovered another reason a sidebar will drop to the bottom of the page.
Options/Reading set your posts showing to 4 or less.
BACKGROUND: I had my blog working fine with this setting at 999.
However, after some work was done on the blog that didn’t work out well, the sidebar dropped to the bottom of my homepage and some, but not all category pages. The rest of the pages, i.e. other categories, all monthly archives, and all permalinks to individual posts were fine.
Steve Duncan helped me this morning, and after looking at a variety of places for a way to fix this, we tried changing the number of posts showing. For the home page, we could set it at 26 and the sidebar would reappear. However, in order to fix it on the other pages, we had to go to no more than 4 showing.
I have no idea why and figure someone else will want to know about this.
I’m using DaisyRaeGemini Theme on WordPress 2.x

In reply to: Images doesn’t upload in WP 2.0.2FWIW, I solved my problem by deactivating Image Manager. Then I created a folder elsewhere on my server, to which I loaded my images (completely edited because WP won’t touch the image to make it compatible!).
Then I used WP to “upload” the images from that folder. These are actually just hotlinks in my vernacular, pointing to the image in another location.
So far, the images are staying put. Why I can’t get any version of the upload instructions to work, I don’t know.
Good luck!Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Images upload but no thumbnails or previewI just went back to my blog and find that now the WP image process is working. It does add the image to the post, but it is not copying the image to the WP directory, which would be my preference rather than relying on images remaining on-line from their source. Any ideas?

In reply to: Images upload but no thumbnails or previewI’m another newbie struggling with the same issue. The WP image loader did nothing when I tried to use it.
I read elsewhere that some are solving the problem with a plugin called Image Manager, but I’m getting a 550 server error message and no images posting, though they are uploading. I’m going to ask the developer for uninstall instructions now as they are so far unable to suggest a solution to several of us stuck with this error.
My blog was migrated 48 hours ago and I’m still trying to re-load the images. I’m just not finding the instructions I need to get this done. Where should I look next?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: A possible cause of 403 errors with archivesI just migrated my blog from Blogger, using WordPress 2.x and am having this problem. I don’t understand how to fix this error, and how to tell whether this is indeed my problem.
In my WordPress directory, there are two sets of files:
I have a set of folders named by year, containing folders by month, with html files named by the title of the post inside.
I also have php files in the WordPress directory that are named YYYY_MM_01.php . These don’t look like the overlapping protocol described in the initial post, but could this be the same problem and I’m not recognizing it?
TIA,
