Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: another pretty permalinks problem@esmi: I’m not sure. My web host doesn’t have cPanel but I’m sure it’s possible.
The reason I ask is because Windows doesn’t allow you to set file permissions. I had to do a 404 re-route. This step-by-step tutorial was very helpful.
You mentioned at first that your .htaccess file was hidden, but you found it now, right? Filezilla also has a way to set file permissions. Just right-click your .htaccess file, click “File Permissions” and set it to whichever number WP suggests. (I think 755? 666? Don’t quote me). If that still doesn’t work, I suggest trying the tutorial above.

In reply to: another pretty permalinks problemIt sounds like you have the same problem I was having. Is your web host running a Windows server?

In reply to: Permalinks – .htaccess problem?Fortunately I was able to fix it using this 404 re-route method.
The only problem I have is that the Flash plugin on my homepage stops working. But that’s a different post altogether.I recommend the tutorial for those using ixwebhosting like me.

In reply to: Permalinks – .htaccess problem?It has problems with a lot of other things too. I recently switched over to my dad’s hosting account, where he runs a Windows server. Trying to get WordPress to install was an issue in itself.
So is this unfixable? Am I stuck with “ugly” permalinks forever?

In reply to: Permalinks – .htaccess problem?Ok I used the FTP method and it gives me this error
Status: Set permissions of ‘/sonelle/.htaccess’ to ‘755’
Command: SITE CHMOD 755 .htaccess
Response: 500 ‘SITE CHMOD 755 .htaccess’: command not understoodIs the .htaccess file not rewritable? Could it be because I’m using a Windows server?

In reply to: Permalinks – .htaccess problem?How do I set the permissions on my .htaccess file?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Permalinks – .htaccess problem?What permission do you have on your .htaccess file…
I’m not sure. How would I change that?
Why is %postname% not recommended? I actually use only that at all times to any of the sites that I run.
Yeah, I use it all the time too. It’s weird that it’s not working now.
It’s not recommended because of the fact that post titles can become very long, so their URLs would be awkward and often break.
In my case, I’m not running a blog. I’m using WP more as a CMS than anything, and running an eCommerce site from it, so the URLs will be confined to such terms as ‘home’ and ‘about’.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Permalinks – .htaccess problem?I also tried searching past support topics. It looks like this issue hasn’t been solved at all. That’s unnerving.

In reply to: Permalinks – .htaccess problem?You need to use /%postname%/
I did. And even if I hadn’t, WordPress automatically adds the forward slash.

In reply to: Permalinks – .htaccess problem?I know, I read through it already, but it doesn’t help much because I have no idea what I’m doing. I just copy/pasted a bunch of lines of code into .htaccess and it still doesn’t work.

In reply to: Fooled by a preview and everything seems to be here!Where, exactly, did you put the images? Could you show me an example of what you’re putting into your code as well? It could be that the images aren’t being directed correctly.

In reply to: changing Site Title with a logoOk, replace
<?php if(theme_get_option('general','display_logo') && $custom_logo = theme_get_option('general','logo') ): ?>with this
<a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php if(theme_get_option('general','display_logo') && $custom_logo = theme_get_option('general','logo') ):?></a>And I think you can get rid of logo_text altogether, because there’s nothing in it.
So delete that in your skin.css file as well as all of this<div id="logo_text"> <a id="site_name" href="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>"><?php bloginfo('url'); ?></a> <?php if(theme_get_option('general','display_site_desc')){ $site_desc = get_bloginfo( 'description' ); if(!empty($site_desc)):?> <div id="site_description"><?php bloginfo( 'description' ); ?></div> <?php endif;}?> </div>Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: changing Site Title with a logoShow me whatever code you have that makes the logo.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Title not appearing in title barYou probably don’t have a <title> tag.
Try inserting this<title><?php bloginfo('name'); ?><?php wp_title(); ?></title>into the head of your site.
This will show the title of your site as well as the name of the page you’re currently on.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: changing Site Title with a logoCan I see the code? I can’t tell you unless I see it.
But basically, you want to wrap the<a> </a>tags around the logo.
For example:
<a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>">Steve</a>
