Make sure you’ve set up a unique mysql database with your host or on a home server, then place the downloaded files in the directory the site will function out of, and lastly visit the site itself, such as http://www.mydomain.com/, and a series of screens will lead you to connect the files with the database you’ve already set up with your host.

Wellest!

And building on that backwards compatibility, the updating process itself is amazingly easy compared to Drupal.

Also, even with that compatibility, you may have noticed that a lot of work IS put into optimizing execution performance in WordPress. WordPress may not have a sharpest code in certain respects, but there isn’t the loading lag time in the backend as can sometimes be experienced with Drupal.

Sorry it doesn’t work on 5.0.42, it does work on 3.0.95. Marcus and agelonwl are saying that the upcoming latest release should have the bug fixed. You might simply want to wait til then.

Another very good reason is due to one doing their computing on an older system that is slower. I personally know someone in this situation, who uses a slower older machine, they’ve told me that they will not browse the internet with anything greater than Firefox 3.5, and they use the portable version too with lots of bells and whistles turned off b/c the fully installed version slows their system to a snail’s pace. And, they’ve said, most of the time they browse with Firefox 1.5 with javascript off b/c it runs so really fast and quick for them.

I’ll say that when my normal computer is ill or not functioning, I fall back on using a really old desktop computer, and I’ll just say, it is really annoying browsing the web waiting for scripts of javascript to be completed by that older system — and so the browser hangs. In that situation, I enjoy browsing with javascript turned off.

To further this argument, I’d even go so far as to reiterate what has been stated earlier on this thread that not supporting old browsers is absolutely unsustainable. If you don’t upgrade your computer you’re saving mountains of global resources required to create a brand new shiny computer. Endlessly creating more and more advanced electronics to endlessly buy is simply masturbatory consumerism. I’m not against enjoyment, I certainly enjoy video games and the lastest episode of Glee, but that one MUST have the latest iPhone 4s, the hugest screen kadoodle pixel width TV, etc. and that you MUST UPGRADE NOW!!!!!! If you want to force your blue ball obsessions down everyone elses throats — well you better just give up now, cause you can’t do it, cause WordPress is so great and flexible and thus —- there’s a plugin for that. 🙂

And so now people everywhere are clicking off the nag, they are turning the nag off with a plugin.

[Final comments moderated., That was not necessary.]

Okay the code above should instead be:

$full = $args = array(
‘orderby’ => ‘start_date,start_time,name’,
‘order’ => ‘ASC’,
);

And that makes all of the “Calendar” pages work now. 😀

Actually, the code above is having some ill repercussions elsewhere in the calendar, I’ll check back later as I continue get it ironed out.

I think I’m having the same problem right now, too, but I’m using an older version (3.0.95). Searching the forums, this bug appears to have also been reported a long while back in:

http://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-events-manager-calendar-items-not-arranged-chronologically

but may be have been not fully resolved in more recent versions of this plugin, as you, Bri-, are reporting now. Specifically, for me though, the bug is that on the “Calendar” page, the events in each day-box are listed in the order that they were entered, and not in the order that they are actually going to occur. I’ve been digging through the code all night tonight to find a solution and here’s what worked for me:

In the “classes” directory, find the file “em-calendar.php” and right after $long_events = $args['long_events']; (approximately at line 16 in 3.0.95, line 20 in 5.0.42) insert the following code and save the file:

$args = array(
‘orderby’ => ‘start_date,start_time,name’,
‘order’ => ‘ASC’,
);

At least this worked for me.

Wellest wishes!

Hi pubwvj. I’ve experienced similar issues with WP. I disagree with some on this thread in that the latest and greatest code contraptions are not always the best solutions, and may not be “faster” in the short-term or long-term by any means. And I quite certainly agree with you that not supporting old browsers is absolutely unsustainable.

Some on this thread might be quick to condemn you, but for now, I’d recommend disabling the nag with a plugin such as:

http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/tc-disable-browser-upgrade-warning/

or if you are experiencing a particular browser specific incompatibility, due to support dropping out of core, WP is pretty dang wonderful in that someone else has probably written a plugin to patch it, or you could write a plugin to patch it yourself.

Search the plugin section of wordpress.org and you may very well find just what you’re looking for!
