In reply to: able to login back-end, but BLANK at front end urlHave you tried turning debugging on? Simply add
define('WP_DEBUG', true);to your wp-config file, this might shed some light. I’d warn against sharing FTP access, despite seemingly good intentions.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: apply an external php code within wordpressAs far as the user side, you can simply create custom page templates and include your php within that. As far the admin side of things, I think a plugin, or code within a theme’s function.php is your only option.

In reply to: Posts being titled strangely, adding blog nameIt’s bizarre though because I changed the theme to the default and also disabled all plug-ins to no avail. Any idea what could have triggered this change or how I can get it back?
The default theme does this by default. `<title><?php wp_title(‘«’, true, ‘right’); ?> <?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></title>’ in header.php – where wp_title is the template tag to get the post title, ‘«’ is the separator («), ‘true’ echos the title and ‘right’ is the position of the separator. bloginfo(‘name’) is the Blog Title as set in Settings->General. Either the theme you are using has a similar line in header.php or you are using a plugin to generate this.
If you want to only show the post title for the <title> tag, simply remove the
<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>from the <title> tag in header.php. If the theme doesn’t have this, then you need to find which ever plugin (SEO?) that is doing this and change the option.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Posts being titled strangely, adding blog nameAre you referring to the <title> tag on the page, and not the post title itself?
Sounds like an SEO plugin/theme option of some kind to me. It looks like the default theme also does this, which is why you would see it with all plugins disabled.

In reply to: WP 2.9 image insertion no longer allows url to off site resourceWhen you click the first icon next to “upload/insert” to add an image, select the image to upload from your computer, there’s a field for “Link URL” below Description, above Alignment.
Change that URL to what ever address you want the image to link to, then click the “Insert into Post” button below the Size option. This should insert the image into the post linking it to the external site.
You can confirm this by looking at the HTML view.

In reply to: WP 2.9 image insertion no longer allows url to off site resourceI see now that it won’t save the changed link, even if I click save changes, however, if I change the link URL, then click “Insert into Post”, it will correctly insert the link. Are you using the gallery feature at all?

In reply to: Backup in XML formatyou need to edit your php.ini file to allow for larger uploads, this isn’t a WP setting. If you’re not familiar with the php.ini file, you should contact your host.

In reply to: WP 2.9 image insertion no longer allows url to off site resourceI don’t see that behavior. I uploaded an image, changed the URL, and the resulting code was correct.
<a href="the_link_I_added"><img src="the_path_to_the_image" blah blah></a>Did you use the option to upload “from computer” or “from URL”. using “from URL” you can provide the path to the image, then below Alignment, provide an address that the image links to.

In reply to: Moved my blogs core files to the root and now I get this errorDid you leave all of the files in /blog except for your index.php and .htaccess (which should be moved to the root directory)?
Did you leave the WordPress address the same, but change the blog address to simplyolivia.com in Settings->General?
Did you edit the index.php file in the root directory to read
require('./blog/wp-blog-header.php');?Note you would still login to the admin area at simplyolivia.com/blog/wp-login.php ?
Finally, did you update your Permalinks after you did all of that?
