Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Subdomain issue…. please helpI’m sure MichaelH is more familiar with this stuff than I am. But I suppose that’s usually what happens if you pull the database from one WP installation and use it with another WP installation.

In reply to: Newbie questions>Am I correct in assuming that’s for people who aren’t using a hosting provider that makes it available to them (as most do)?
Yes and no. Some people prefer to install WP for themselves instead of using automatic installation through Fantastico or whatever. But you are right about not having to download WP. If you prefer, you can use auto installation. I won’t use auto installation because I prefer to control and manage database name, username, password for myself. And there is no guarantee that Fantastico and other auto packages are constantly updated. That also depends web hosting companies.
>But what about page layout and design?
In order to customize a theme (layout and design), you do it with an HTML editor, text editor, CSS editor… You won’t do it with a web browser. I make my own themes, but it takes too much trouble. So you may want to download free themes here or other places.

In reply to: Newbie questions>Do I need to install Word Press software on my local computer to run Word Press? Or does it run through some sort of online interface that I interact with through a web browser?
You are going to install it on your server so that the server will run it for you day and night. You will be able to write articles with a web browser. So you won’t use Dreamweaver. Yes, you can use Safari, Firefox, Camino, Opera… I wouldn’t use Firefox or Opera to write and edit articles when running Mac OS X.

In reply to: A spammer is erasing my posts>How can I prevent this from happening again?
As some websites are victimized because of easy usernames, you may want to use difficult usernames to guess as well as passwords.

In reply to: Want my blog to use my domaine.. ??What if you export a database with an export plug-in, creating a new database and importing it and then creating a new WP blog at the root?
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: MOVING FROM DREAMWEAVER TO WP1) No. CSS editing is different from HTML editing. You can do HTML editing with little knowledge about HTML thanks to Dreamweaver, Frontpage and other visual HTML editors. But you need some knowledge about CSS to do CSS editing.
2) No. WordPress is blog software. You only need to use a web browser to directly write articles online. So you don’t use Dreamweaver or whatever.
4) Depending on how you set up your blog, the answer is yes. For example, Google usually indexes our articles in less than 30 minutes after they are posted.

In reply to: Blog Disaster – Move to new serverI would install 2.0.11 and then upload wp-content from old host. But you may also want to read instructions on how to move host to backup specific files. If you don’t do it right, order of articles will be initialized. I think somebody has posted a good tutorial like saving a cache file and working on htaccess… I would back up the database twice with an export plugin and also with phpAdmin.
Okay, you may want to follow Mr. Solo’s hyperlink and read under ‘Moving WordPress Within Your Site’ and No. 10.

In reply to: Blog Disaster – Move to new serverYou are doing two different things, upgrading and moving, at the same time. I would install 2.0.11 at a new server after moving and then upgrade to 2.5.0. or upgrade to 2.5.0. before moving to a new server.

In reply to: How to prevent copying/saving of images from site?hehehe… I thought you had given up on protecting screenshots a long time ago. So I decide not to mention it. The following page has examples of screenshots protected with QuickTime if you are interested in seeing them. It’s not a perfect way because there is no perfect way. No matter how you do it, if a screenshot is accessible with a web browser, there is a way of downloading it. Maybe, placing a watermark will be better.

In reply to: Site Hacked over and over WordPress 2.5.1 Please Help!>I’ve changed the password
That may not be a sufficient solution if they cracked the password with a known username.
>You should check that all folders are set to 755 or stricter
What does the CHMOD of 755 really mean? You want to show off the lists of files to people who don’t have to see and let them download files?
