Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: template showing on presentation page but cannot change themehmmm .. ok .. NOTHING happens when i click on the theme.
i have the latest version since i just started this last week.
i get the little hand when i scroll my mouse over the theme, but when i left click nothing happens, no little black box, no “activate this theme” anywhere on the page either. i’ll have to try reloading the content and admin folders i guess.
if anyone else has a suggestion i’m happy to try it.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: template showing on presentation page but cannot change themesorry .. yes, i downloaded the themes, and then i uploaded them to the wp-content/themes folder via ftp.
the themes show up on the manage/presentation page but when i click on the theme it does not change the “current theme” at all. this occurs even with the alternate default theme that comes with WP. so far i have not been able to change the theme at all. i have check to make sure i do not have the new themes “nested” and i do not.
thanks!

In reply to: Installation Problem – Parse Errorok .. i’ve saved it in notepad (also discovered that several of the files didn’t FTP over when i thought they had and fixed that) and now i’m getting THIS message:
Error establishing a database connection
This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost. This could mean your host’s database server is down.Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
Are you sure that the database server is running?
__________________________________________i KNOW i am definitely using the correct username/password and the what i believe is the correct hostname.. so now what?? <hitting head again>

In reply to: Installation Problem – Parse Errori didn’t use word but i did use wordpad and saved it as a rich text file. i’ve also tried saving it as text file and as a unicode file — none of these worked (arg) … could i use wordperfect and save it as an ascii? would that maybe work?
<banging head against desk>here’s the error message i’m getting now:

In reply to: Installation Problem – Parse Errorok .. i changed over the linux and am still getting the same error message. my hosting is not free (although it’s their lowest cost plan) and i also paid for the domain name … so i’m at a loss. any other ideas out there? — because the blog godaddy offers really sux!
