Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Upgrade tot 3.1 leaves website blank: Fatal error!plusvision,
I’d probably recommend backing up both database and files in their current state just in case. Then try a manual upgrade to 3.1 instead via FTP. Just don’t overwrite your own important files in wp-content. I’m not sure how to downgrade back to 3.0.5 if you don’t have a prior backup, but I suppose you could always ask your web host if they do periodic backups. Message me if you want more help. I’m no expert, but have been in the web business for a decade.

In reply to: Upgrade tot 3.1 leaves website blank: Fatal error!It’s really no different than fixing a car. Sometimes cars break down. You can either do it yourself or pay to have them repaired. It was inconvenient in my case and scared me a little, but the automated update process *did* warn me to back everything up, half of which I did. Websites take work. :-/

In reply to: Upgrade tot 3.1 leaves website blank: Fatal error!wideblueyonder’s solution worked for me. Both my website and admin area was blank.
1) Downloaded newest 3.1.
2) Deleted wp-admin and wp-include directories and replaced all files with those from the download. Also replaced all other files except for those in wp-content.
3) For wp-content, I was more selective and manually overwrote old files.
4) The admin area then asked me for database details again because wp-config.php was not found. I entered my DB details again (thankfully I remembered them). When I got to the install portion, I closed all browser windows and went back to the admin area. It then asked to upgrade the DB, so I did.
All working ok now finally. Phew.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: bloginfo('show') doesn't output anything?I think I’m beginning to figure things out. The main issue seemed to be the reference to style.css. From the guide I was reading, it seemed that a relative link of “style.css” would do. Instead, I had to use bloginfo( ‘stylesheet_url’). Stylesheet image references appear to be the only ones that are relative. I had to use the following in the index.php file for the logo:
echo get_bloginfo('template_url') . '/images/logo.png'Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: bloginfo('show') doesn't output anything?My goal is to keep things simple. I really don’t need a lot of additional stuff as I’ll manually plug that into the theme itself. I’m ideally just looking for blog functionality (loop), side panels, menu generation, and pages.

In reply to: bloginfo('show') doesn't output anything?Here’s what I have in header.php:

In reply to: bloginfo('show') doesn't output anything?Looks like WordPress is a lot pickier than I thought when it comes to index.php and header.php file structure. I tried coming up with my own copy of header.php, but it looks like I’ll need to include everything from the twentyten theme’s structure for it to even read my style sheet.
