In reply to: Lock Comments after x amount of daysHere is another option.

It will close comments at whatever set time. But if there is an ongoing discussion for one entry it will keep that post open for comments.

In reply to: CreativeGuy – What do you think?I agree it’s annoying as hell. Place the ads on your comment page, or just a single ad on the index.
I had Blogmine ads for a couple days and sent them packing because they only appeared on the index and on every entry.

In reply to: RSS Feeds not picking up.They won’t load from my end in FF either. From looking at the ource code the URLS are there.
Try loading them in an RSS reader of your choice. If they fail to load the you can see what errors are noted.
BTW, how do you expect visitors to use your feeds if you have taken the links to them out of your sidebar?
Oops…nevermind. Didn’t see them in the footer

In reply to: Making New ThemesHere is the best one I have seen:
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: What value to enter for localhost in wp-config.php?<?php
// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'db124737218'); // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'dbo124737218'); // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', '********'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'localhost'); // 99% chance you won't need to change this value
That should should be it.
As that part of the file says 99% of the time the local host shouldn’t be changed.
EDIT You should be able to copy and paste the above code into your config file, with the addition of your password.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: First Time Novice Needing HelpEverything is possible.
What config file?
If you follow the directions given in the link to the Xampp instructions you should have no problem.
Honest, I’m the biggest dunderhead in these matters and with only slight help from that sites author I got it running quickly.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: First Time Novice Needing HelpGood luck
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: First Time Novice Needing HelpCheck this thread it offers a way to do that. It will require you to add the theme switcher plugin.
Also the ultimate answer, and one I recommend, set your home box up as a server like this:
http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/xampp/Honest it is easy and gives you the best way to work offline. At present I have over 30 themes set into my offline home setup and I can play to my hearts content.
Once I find a layout change I like I just load it into my active blogs.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: First Time Novice Needing HelpYou can change colors of the top and bottom box easily.
As for size that can be changed also but keep in mind size changes will effect how the box displays and may force other changes to the CSS to make it work.
Again experiment, it’s the only way to learn.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: First Time Novice Needing HelpI assume you are speaking of macmanx’s theme “Wuhan” is that correct?
If so the comment boxes use a top and bottom image each a different color. They would have to be called up using CSS.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: First Time Novice Needing HelpNo stress here.
Where are you seeing images? Certainly not in the above code I listed.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: First Time Novice Needing HelpWhat macmanx has is from the theme Wuhan.
Here is the section of CSS code that controls part of the comment pages.
.commentlist li, #commentform input, #commentform textarea {
font: 0.9em 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
}
.commentlist li {
font-weight: bold;
}
.commentlist cite, .commentlist cite a {
font-weight: bold;
font-style: normal;
font-size: 1.1em;
}
.commentlist p {
font-weight: normal;
line-height: 1.5em;
text-transform: none;
}
#commentform p {
font-family: 'Lucida Grande', Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
}
.commentmetadata {
font-weight: normal;
padding: 0px 10px 0px 10px;
}
That is only a small section of it.
if you like that theme or part of it I suggest you download it, study how it is put together then add parts you like to whatever you are working on.EDIT: There is no quick way to do this, look around find what you like, download that theme and pick it apart til you find what you want.
Then experiment.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: First Time Novice Needing HelpWhat do you mean by “layout?”
If it’s color, font size, images that’s all CSS.
If it’s for example what order things appear in a sidebar, that controlled by the WP template.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Can I edit WP Theme in Dreamweaver?I agree with junap. That only way to go is set your home box as a server then experiment all you want offline.
Here is the fast and easy way:
http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/xampp/BTW have a new install of WP I would suggest not even importing your blog database. Just install a new load of WP in your new Xampp setup.
