In reply to: switching wordpress site to new domain on same serverWhy don’t you simplify it:
On the old domain, make a backup of the files, authors and attachments by going to
admin –> tools –> export.You will then have option to save a data file. Save it.
Install clean fresh version of WordPress in new location and get it working. Once in new admin, navigate to:
admin –> tools –> importThis should bring all the data back into the new install.
FTP your theme files and any other non-Wordpress folders (eg images folder) and you should be set.
I’ve had a couple issues before migrating the site and sometimes it’s easier to do the above.

In reply to: Show postings & images on homepage of websiteYou’ll need some sort of resizer such as timthumb, or use custom fields to attach an image to a post.
Once you have custom fields set up, you can then call the image on the homepage to display next to the corresponding post content.
Not easy for a beginner, but definately ways to do it.

In reply to: How do I change the url of my blog?Hi Zeptuinune,
You’re at WordPress.org – for use when you host your own WordPress site.
WordPress.com is totally different. May i suggest you post the same question on those forums.
From what it sounds, you may need to export all data (if WordPress.com allows, located in admin –> tools.)
Start the new xxx.wordpress.com and import data back in (again, assuming WordPress.com allows).
I’ve never used WP.com so no idea what you can and can’t do compared the .org functionality.
Or failing that:

In reply to: pictures in sidebarIf your sidebar accepts widgets, add a ‘text widget’ to where you want the image and add html to display the image like below:
<img src="<-- add location path of where image is -->" />So an example would be:
<img src="http://www.yourdomain.com/images/image1.jpg" />Hope this helps. 🙂
For page titles, use the famous ‘All-in-one SEO’ plugin:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/The H1 titles will be the Page or Post titles.
As Zoonii says, adjust the titles in navigations through the WP3.0 menu manager (assuming the theme supports it).
That should covere everything you need.

In reply to: Showing other posts at the bottom of a postIf you mean how to create 2 columns in html and css, then below is how you do it:
HTML
<div class="columnwrap"> <div class="column1">Insert content / php here</div> <div class="column2">Insert content / php here</div> </div>The CSS
.columnwrap { width: 900px; } .column1 { float: left; width: 440px; margin-right: margin-right: 20px; } .column2 { float: right; width: 440px; }Adjust widths etc to suit. Hope this helps.

In reply to: [Plugin: PS Auto Sitemap] SitemapYou create a page called Sitemap, and in WordPress admin, click in Pages menu and then ‘Pages’
Once you have a list of all pages, hover over the sitemap page title and in the very bottom of the browser screen, you’ll see something like:
domain.co.uk/wp-admin/post.php?post=67&action=edit
In this case, the page/post number is 67.
So you would add 67 to the sitemap page option. Viola.

In reply to: Featured Image not appearing in RSSGot the images appearing in category feeds now.
Images still need to be enlarged though.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Increasing RSS feed image to full sizeI got the thumbnails by adding in:
// THIS INCLUDES THE THUMBNAIL IN OUR RSS FEED function insertThumbnailRSS($content) { global $post; if ( has_post_thumbnail( $post->ID ) ){ $content = '' . get_the_post_thumbnail( $post->ID, 'thumbnail' ) . '' . $content; } return $content; } add_filter('the_excerpt_rss', 'insertThumbnailRSS'); add_filter('the_content_feed', 'insertThumbnailRSS');But images in RSS are coming out at 150px x 150px (even though my theme doesn’t use this size). I’ve tried using WP RSS Images plugin which should let you change the size of RSS images, but it hasn’t made a difference.

In reply to: Thumbnails/Featured Images in RSS Feed in 3.0Hi Rev.
This works fine for the main RSS, but not for the category feeds. No images appear in any of those.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Thumbnails/Featured Images in RSS Feed in 3.0I’d like to know this also.
not just in the main feed (domain.com/feed)
… but also in the category feeds (domain.com/category/feed)
Any ideas anyone?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Featured Image not appearing in RSSI got the feeds with images working with the above code, but 2 things:
1. Thumbnails are tiny – where to increase size of these JUST for the feed images
2. Doesn’t work on category feeds (domain.com/category/feed) – only main feed domain.com/feed
Is there no plugin available yet for this?
