Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: I need to remove the whole sidebar menu..Considering you are using a Template Monster design, and they use so many graphical elements, it might not look good, but removing
<?php get_sidebar(); ?>from your index.php template would in essence do what you are asking.Otherwise, deleting everything in sidebar.php between the <div id=”sidebar> at the beginning, and the closing </div> might work.

There is a PhpMyAdmin section with several tutorials, from the basics of finding it, to how to change the password.
Check back if you run into more problems.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: how to get ”Blog” to appear in top menuTruthfully, there’s currently not a simple solution for this if you are wanting the simplicity of the same design for the root page at yoursite.com to be your WP theme as well as having the dynamic links that go along with that. If you installed WP in /blog, you would have to create a php file using some WP code, recreate the divs from the theme’s index.php and copy the style sheet over into the root directory.
However, with the soon to be released 2.1 version, this will be a simple built in task.
Dennis (the author of the static front page plugin) suggests using his opt-in plugin to achieve a /category/blog link.
That would buy you some time until 2.1 is officially released. As you are new to WP, I wouldn’t suggest using the development alpha version just yet (actually, it’s not suggested that anyone really uses alpha and beta releases for their site, unless they are really familiar with WP, make regular backups while using them, and fully understand the consequences of possible mishaps)
Another remote possibility is if you’ve added any new plugins recently. Particularly if any were comment related.
Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Disabling Comments – Allowing TrackbacksI believe leaving the box checked for posts allowing pingbacks and trackbacks under comments should do what you are wanting, just disable the comments.
http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/TestTrack/index.php is a great way to test this feature.

Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Need help designing 3-col themeYou may want to look at something like http://www.oswd.org/ for some templates that use fluid width design (I think that’s what you are going for).
Also, take a look at http://blog.html.it/layoutgala/ for some frameworks to build off as well.
A final option would be to simply look at http://themes.wordpress.net at some existing 3 column WP themes as to how and where to add content.
If all else fails, you can contact me at michael AT bishopblogworks DOT com and I might be able to crank out a rough theme framework which you can add your own CSS to.

In reply to: No graphics, no matter which theme selectedI’m not familiar with that theme, but it’s *possible* that it’s meant for 2.x and up installations.
You really should contact your host about offering a current version of WP, or look at the docs http://codex.wordpress.org/Upgrading and upgrade yourself. If you run into any issues, start a new thread if you don’t find the answer in the docs or via a search of the forums.

In reply to: Any plugins that change the Write Post to html codeTurning off the visual rich editor should remove the WYSIWYG function, and simply provide some simple javascript quicktag buttons.
Are you sure you saved the changes to the user profile?
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: i want template similar this siteYou are not going to find a public theme similar to that, I’m afraid. Especially if you are looking for categories to broken out into different sections. There are a few free themes that do similar functions, albeit on a much smaller scale, but they are not going to look like that.

In reply to: Where do I have to create the upload forler for picturesI think you just need to make wp-content 777, and the rest is done for you if you are using the built in image uploader.
