In reply to: Problems with permalinksCheck your trash can for pages. If a post is still in trash with the same url, then all new ones will be created with -2.
Empty trash permanently then try again.

In reply to: Sidebar removed, but content not centeredYou’ll need to alter some CSS (found in Admin –> Appearance –> style.css):
Look in this file and look for the two id’s below, then paste the following to replace them (make backup first):
body div#wrapper { width: 693px; margin: auto; } body div#content { margin: 3em 0 0; }Remove the minimum / maximum set widths and just include the above. Measurements taken from the Veryplaintxt demo.

In reply to: I can't insert bold words in my captionAre you entering the strong tags in the Visible or the HTML editor of the post/page?
Also (just to eliminate the issue) the tags shouldn’t have any spaces, so:
<strong>and then</strong>.Maybe test with another html styling to see if that disappears also, for example
<span>I’m sure I read a post a while back that you cannot format caption text with WordPress, whether that’s changed or not is anyone’s guess.

In reply to: Thumbnails missing in Internet ExplorerThere’s also another plugin called Thumnail Regenerator. I’ve used it a few times to regenerate all thumbnails and has sometimes fixed my issues.

In reply to: Website not showing up?.htaccess will be the problem. Try removing it altogether and see if it makes any difference (WordPress doesn’t come with one when you install it)
If not, remove all plugins and try again, if it works, add one plugin at a time to see which one is conflicting.

In reply to: Various methods tried, youtube is acting randomly on two blogsWordPress is a stable and excellent CMS platform and is certainly a lot quicker and functional than most other frameworks.
I think since the latest release, there a couple of forum threads saying the same thing, so i don’t think that it’s just you.
Have you tried ‘Add Media’ from the post page and adding in the Youtube url that way?
Good luck.

In reply to: Make changes to Horizontal HeaderThis will be done by either:
1. Using the WordPress menu Manager (i see you’re using WP 3.0.1)
So navigate to ‘Appearance’ –> ‘Menus’ and alter accordingly.2. If the theme doesn’t support WP3.0 menus, then the code you’ll need to alter will be in ‘header.php’.
Just so you know, PageNavi is normally located at the bottom of the page and acts as ‘1,2,3,4,5 … Last etc’ of pages.

In reply to: change url addressesHi Teresa,
‘Home’ is actually a post or page by the look of it.
To fix, go to WordPress admin:
‘Settings’ –> ‘Reading’
You’ll see ‘Front page displays’ and set this to ‘static page’. Then choose the page you called ‘Home’.
Save the settings. That should do it.

In reply to: Blog Title Showing Twice in Browser Title BarCould be the theme – I’ve had it before.
I removed the site name from wordpress general settings, and it sorted it for me.
Failing that, download ‘all in one seo’ plugin and customise the page titles manually.

In reply to: Transparent image has linesAll you need to do is remove the 2 border lines so that:
#brading img { clear: both; display: block; }I just viewed your site and removing the border-top and border-bottom styles removed your logo borders.

In reply to: Various methods tried, youtube is acting randomly on two blogs2 things I would check:
1. Make sure when you paste the embed code into your post, that you are on the HTML view and not the ‘visual’.
failing that,
2. Use the ‘old embed code’ in Youtube.
You’ll see an option as soon as you click ’embed’. Then, your code should look like this:
<object width="425" height="349"><param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/bgcvxAdWCn4?fs=1&hl=en_GB&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/bgcvxAdWCn4?fs=1&hl=en_GB&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="349"></embed></object>Again, make sure you’re on the html viewer in the ‘Add new post’ screen.
Hope this helps.
