In reply to: Aligning SubmenuWell, I’ve set the submenu to vertical alignment now. But, I want it to be horizontal.
In the horizontal setting, I want the li to activate under the home button. Yes. I would like the first subitem in each submenu to line up with the first item in the main menu.

In reply to: [Videopack] FFMPEG as php extensionThe FFMPEG is just for thumbnails right? It’s not keeping my video from working is it? I’m trying to find out why this plugin doesn’t seem to be working on my site.

In reply to: Post Link IssuesI’ll look for hidden files. Good idea.
I did have issues with it a few weeks ago. Tore it down and then reinstalled it using the same database and config file.

In reply to: fail to manage wp-config.phpWhat did you do to get it to work?
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: problem on installI haven’t yet. It’s very confusing. I do have an interesting question about the database. How does wordpress know where to find it?
I have the proper db name and username. I have the proper password. But, how does wordpress know where to find my database? Maybe that’s the issue.
I have wordpress installed on my server and the database is all the way across on the other side of the internet on a site where I have unlimited space.
The only thing I see in config.php is to make sure the database name and username are correct. The host name is localhost. I’ve checked that over several times in my database manager.

In reply to: problem on installOk, maybe not. I just thought we were encountering the same install script issues and I have nowhere to begin to fix the issues. The only thing I know to alter is the wp-config.php file.

In reply to: problem on installI think I might be encountering the same issue as cosmicgroove, so whoever helps us will be killing two birds with one stone. This is the error message I received:
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?If you’re unsure what these terms mean you should probably contact your host. If you still need help you can always visit the WordPress Support Forums.

And this is not the first time I’ve done this. I copied and pasted the username, hostname, db name and checked to make sure the password was absolutely correct. The database server isn’t down because I checked it several times throughout the day.
What could possibly be the issue?
