In reply to: [The Events Calendar] Folders for specific categories in Admin areaAfter waiting six days for a response it might have been more helpful if you’d have given me an answer rather than telling me I’m posting in the wrong place, but hey, sorry to accidentally mess up your forum etiquette. And by the way, I followed a link to the premium forum, so I thought that’s where I was posting.

In reply to: Problems moving wordpress websiteThanks very much for your detailed response. It’s much appreciated. I used Sequel Pro as I was following a video tutorial. It worked for me a couple of years ago, but not done much WordPress stuff since, so I’m afraid I’m a bit rusty.
As I say, the website worked fine when I just uploaded to the new remote server and imported the old sql database file. I think I was making life harder for myself. But I would like to get to the bottom of what the problem was, so I’ll give this a go when I’m back at work Tuesday. Many thanks.

In reply to: Problems moving wordpress websiteHi brainesia, thank you very much for your advice. It’s not a remote server or domain problem because I am working from my own computer, which is why I specified that I’m using MAMP and Sequel Pro. I’ve not resolved the issue, but I decided to just load the whole thing up onto the *remote* server (something I thought would be more difficult). After a few hiccups it did eventually work. Still no idea why it won’t work locally though.
Thanks again.

In reply to: Do mysql databases remember?Hi esmi,
sorted the links by rewriting them manually. The site is up and running though there are still bits of tidying up to do. I am extremely grateful for your help.
Many many thanks.

In reply to: Do mysql databases remember?The strange thing is that on the front page (or the blog page) they work fine but on subsequent pages they are missing (all the images down the right side of the site). I’d presumed that was a database thing because they didn’t work on the dev site (once I’d uploaded it). Any thoughts appreciated.
Have to pop out for a couple of hours so please excuse me if i don’t reply for a while.
Thanks again

In reply to: Do mysql databases remember?Hi esmi,
yes it WAS a typo error by the server admin guy (and I thought he was bullet-proof). It’s going pretty well now, apart from various broken image links. I think I got my knickers in a twist with images so it’s probably my fault but to be honest the problem started on the dev site when I changed the permalinks setting. I was hoping that a clean install would do the trick but I suspect I have to go through the code and sort each link/image individually.
Thank you again for your help. I owe you another drink!

In reply to: Do mysql databases remember?Right, he’s given me a new database and I’ve altered the config file accordingly.
It’s no longer redirecting but I’m now getting an ‘Error establishing a database connection’ page. I’m fairly certain all my details are correct so I’m a bit stuck again. I’m wondering if the server needs a little time for the database to come online? Or maybe I should reinstall all the wp files?
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Do mysql databases remember?I downloaded the latest version of wp, added my theme, my pluggins, and changed the config file so had same details I’d been given by the server administrator, but they were the same as the ones I’d used for the development site (the one you helped me with yesterday).
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Do mysql databases remember?Thanks. I read it yesterday and it was pretty heavy going. As I’ve uploaded and set up a few WP sites before I thought I’d be okay. Thing is, before it’s been on my own server space so I’ve always created a new database. I have no idea how mysql databases work but I was a little worried this time that there might be a problem. If I get the server admin to create a new database, do you think that should work?

In reply to: Problems controlling 'Older entries' 'Newer entries' linksI’ve got it working fine now. Thank you all very much for holding my hand through this. I was starting to think WordPress had finally beaten me into submission.
My final problem is figuring out broken image links but I’ll have a read around on the forums before posting to see if I can figure out what I’m doing wrong.
Thanks for everything.

In reply to: Problems controlling 'Older entries' 'Newer entries' linksI take that all back. I seem to have got it working on my local site. I’ll report back…

In reply to: Problems controlling 'Older entries' 'Newer entries' linksSorry for the long delay in my reply and thanks for your response.
I neglected to say that I’m developing the site locally and then uploading as I go along. I did add the
clear: both;attribute to the main stylesheet (it’s right down towards the bottom) but it makes no difference. In fact, nothing is making a difference so I’m puzzled as to what is going on. I hadn’t realised quite how many stylesheets come with WordPress, but I’ve gone through them all and can’t see anything that seems to connect with .navigation. The links are clearly picking up some of my styling so I’m more than a little confused. But css has that effect on me!Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Problems controlling 'Older entries' 'Newer entries' linksHave read relevant rules now and here’s the pastebin link to the code from my page (see my third post), presuming I did it all right:

In reply to: Problems controlling 'Older entries' 'Newer entries' linksThanks keesiemeijer, I just tried
clear: both;in the css file but it didn’t work. I’ll keep at it (but it’s home time here right now).Sorry I broke the rules. Honest mistake. Should I use the pastebin.com function now or was that for future reference?
Thanks again

In reply to: Problems controlling 'Older entries' 'Newer entries' linksThanks keesiemeijer, I hadn’t but I have now and it’s made no difference. I was just trying to figure out if it is amenable to me beating it over the head with css. The two little << symbols belong down at the bottom with the ‘Older entries’ link. I can’t understand why they have decided to go it alone.
