Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: seems I can't importWell, that failed too.. with the exported table not accepted as an import trying all the possible variations, and there not being a way to merge two tables as the host’s phpmyadmin tool doesn’t have that.
thanks for the help
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: seems I can't importIt was something of a ‘custom’ version that my host provides as a default application for all user, and can’t be upgraded.
I think my fallback is to learn how to use the host’s database manager, “phpmyadmin” which will let me export the tables directly from the database. Is there a way to import a CSV file of the posts from the old blog into the new WordPress 3.1.3 ? I adjusted the table from the old blog to have the same headings and ID’s higher than the new blog uses. I could also export it as an .xls or an .xml.
Obviously I should be able to just copy data from one table to another, too, but if it can be done with a WordPress tool I’d be happy to do that.

In reply to: seems I can't importwell, then I found “advanced export”, on the Manage tab, but it wasn’t functional

In reply to: seems I can't importp.s. I tried “Advanced Export for WP & WPMU” 2.8.3
(http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/advanced-export-for-wp-wpmu/installation/)It activated OK but as there’s no “tools” menu I couldn’t use it.

In reply to: seems I can't importFor the important site I’d want to export, the WP-admin does not contain an Export function. Is there an export plugin for old versions of WordPress. I can’t even find what version I have, but it doesn’t have a “tools menu” either.
I guess it’s around 2004 or something… and having problems. The site host won’t support or upgrade it. I’ve only been able to back up my posts with printing PDF’s. Thus the reason for setting up a new blog.

In reply to: seems I can't importI guess I’m a bit daft! Both the RSS and WordPress import tools say:
“Choose a file from your computer: (Maximum size: 2MB) “
and return error:
“Sorry, there has been an error.
This does not appear to be a WXR file, missing/invalid WXR version number”or
“File is empty. Please upload something more substantial. This error could also be caused by uploads being disabled in your php.ini or by post_max_size being defined as smaller than upload_max_filesize in php.ini.”
or
where do I find the .WXR file?

In reply to: seems I can't importThose seem to allow me to subscribe, but how do I download the entire blog archive as a file, to then import with the WordPress plugin to bring into my new blog?
I don’t know the ropes well enough to know how to import to WordPress.com. Are you saying I should create a new blog and first import the Blogger posts to it, and then from there to mine.
it did restore when starting a new tab.
the WP-admin page opens, but the blog does not reset to any theme. What more can I do to restore it?
anyway…
on clicking preview
http://www.synapse9.com/signals/?preview=1&template=grey-opaque&stylesheet=grey-opaque&preview_iframe=1&TB_iframe=true
I got the error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /var/www/html/signals/wp-content/themes/grey-opaque/functions.php on line 1576On clicking activate
I got the error
Parse error: syntax error, unexpected T_OBJECT_OPERATOR in /var/www/html/signals/wp-content/themes/grey-opaque/functions.php on line 1576OK, just rename that directory to get it back. How would you debug it then, or identify the error?

In reply to: theme activation kills whole blogChip, I was waiting to see if you knew a way to back out of loading a theme that crashes the blog. Is there a specific group of directories or files that activating a theme would alter, that if I had copies of I could replace and restore the blog to working order?
I’ve done a little work on it, that I don’t want to lose by having to re-install WordPress entirely, as my only way to recover
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: theme activation kills whole blogOh, I think you’re trying to say I should edit and replace the current text file with change on the WP_DEBUG line. All Greek to me, sorry. I changed ‘false’ to ‘true’ on that line and uploaded it, and requested: http://www.synapse9.com/signals/wp-config.php.
Is that what you wanted? I got a blank page. Then I should activate Gray Opaque and see what wp-config.php returns then, I guess? Is there a way to back out, so I don’t have to completely start over the whole installation again?
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: theme activation kills whole blogI’m able to open the WP-admin tools, as I have not yet tried to activate the problem theme.
I tried to open WP-config.php and got a white screen and no error message, though. I’m not sure what you mean by “set define” the term “WP_DEBUG’, true”. When I tried to open “WP-config.php=?WP_DEBUG’, true” there was an error message: “The requested URL /signals/wp-config.php= was not found on this server.”
I read the WP-config file on the server and I think it looks like the original text file I uploaded.
