Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Blog hacked, host said to upgrade, lost all postsYour info is likely not lost. Probably your new WP install is pointing to a new database, and you just need to find the Database Name, Database User, and Password for your old setup. Your host should be able to find this information for you (though if you don’t know the database password, it’ll have to be reset). Once you have this information, you’ll edit the
wp-config.phpfile in your WordPress install and put that information in, reconnecting your new, clean WordPress files with your old WordPress database.Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Missing left hand nav in Admin Control PanelYour blog theme should have nothing to do with it. I’d try re-uploading your files to see if maybe one was missed. If that doesn’t help, try deactivating some plugins. You can either delete/rename/move them via FTP, or just manually type in
[your_wp-admin_URL]/plugins.phpto get to the plugins administration page.Forum: Installing WordPress

In reply to: Does WP Limit number of authors on a blog?There is absolutely no limit. I know of some sites with over 10,000 registered users. We “page” the User admin screen, and there’s a search box, so the sky’s the limit.

In reply to: Plugin updater broken?It’s likely your site’s domain. Just use the same information you’d put into an FTP editor. If you don’t know what it is, check with your host.

In reply to: WordPress 2.7 Rocks!Nevermind, just realized this was really old, and yes, the blue admin theme wasn’t up to speed for a while.

In reply to: WordPress 2.7 Rocks!Thanks!
What do you mean the classic CSS is darn dead? Do you mean for the “blue” admin layout (formerly called “Classic”), or are you talking about the Classic theme?

wp-phpbb.php) that is causing the error. Deactivate it and try manually upgrading the plugin.Forum: Plugins

In reply to: What forum software is compatible with WordPress?Your best option (in terms of integration) is going to be bbPress, which is sort of like a sibling of WordPress. They integrate very closely by design. Anything else is going to be more work to integrate, so if bbPress meets your needs, I’d go with that. Else, line up your candidates in order of preference and start Googling “wordpress integration [name_of_software]” and see if there are any guides.

In reply to: WordPress blog just stopped working all of a sudden??This means that your
wp-config.phphas become unreadable. This wouldn’t ever happen spontaneously, but it could have been done <i>en masse</i> by Dreamhost (obviously with unintended consequences). Try altering the permissions on those files via FTP. The correct permissions will vary according to your server’s setup, but try744first.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Chronological ordering — suddenly reversed!Does this problem show up if you upgrade to 2.0.10?
