In reply to: Lost Comments and the ability to leave commentsThanks for the help Theme Diva….
I tried the de-activating thing. Didn’t work.
Played around a bit with seeing if there was a “plugin” that would solve my problem. No Dice!!Since I’m really not all that techy… FTP and phpMyAdmin stuff is really something I should probably learn more of, but choose not to.
Anyways, I repaired my data base with Yahoo Hostings handy dandy “Repair Data Base” feature. Brainless and worked like a charm.
I’m good to go!!
Thanks again for your time.. you Rock!!

Thanks ( sort of =P )
p.s. I’ll work on the “validator” issues. Already fixed a few.

In reply to: “This site isn’t redirecting properly” video includedHA!! fixed my problem. I intalled the following plugin
“Permalinks Moved Permanently“
Although I received an “already exists on line…” type page. When I went back and changed my default to custom. BINGO!! I now have super cool and hopefully SEO friendly Permalinks, without the “The Page isn’t redirecting properly” page.
I’m really not sure how it all works, but it worked.

In reply to: “This site isn’t redirecting properly” video includedas far as changing to custom and using %category%/%postname%/ , it once again didn’t work.
All the additional instructions below are a bit over my head, if that’s what I needed to follow. Nothing specific about addressing “The Page isn’t redirecting properly” issue.
Thanks again for your continued assistance

In reply to: “This site isn’t redirecting properly” video includedWP does not like redirects primarily because of dynamic page creation. Why do you need to redirect from your primary URL to URL/blog1? If wp is set up correctly it will go to the blog1 directory when you click on www dot philsfault.com
Okay we got rid of the redirect ( actually Yahoo did this for me ). I’m still having trouble when I try to change my permalinks from Default. Anything other than “default” will give me the “The page isn’t redirecting properly” message on my individual posts.

In reply to: “This site isn’t redirecting properly” video includedapparently you missed the part in my video where I said “I’m not all that techy”.
Is there an “idiots version”? The last time I messed with something like this I messed everything up.

In reply to: “This site isn’t redirecting properly” video includedWhen I started my site several years ago it was just philsfault.com. Since I’m not all that great at WebDesign I decided to move to a WP Blog, which Yahoo had available. The only way they could help me make my Primary URL my main site ( WP Blog ) was to throw in a redirect which looks like this http://philsfault.com . I thought that was a bit annoying since using /blog1 loads much quicker without the redirect message.
oh and 200 errors!! Thanks for this. I really didn’t want 200 more things to think about .. gaaahh, learn something new everyday ( whether I want to or not ).

In reply to: Page isn’t redirecting properlyI resolved this issue by changing my permalink settings to default. Unfortunately, now I have lame permalinks. Do I have to live with this or can I tweak something so I don’t get the “Page isn’t redirecting properly.” problem?

In reply to: Page isn’t redirecting properlySame issues after installing 2.8.4 and the “all in one SEO pack”. Would love to know how to resolve this.

In reply to: Yahoo Hosting / WP HelpYeeeeeeessssss!!!!!
I’m back in business.So I followed your link that you provided for me and was pretty relieved to see that my blog still existed. Thought I’d try to log in, but got the “page not found” thingy.
I remember what you said about the categories still working and I went to my “Daily Babble” category. Just for the hell of it, I hit “log in” and
IT WORKED!!!!!whew..
you are the best. thank you
can I add some fundage to your paypal account?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Yahoo Hosting / WP HelpConsider using phpMyAdmin to make sure your wp_options table has the correct values in siteurl and home.
siteurl is your WordPress address (URL) and home is your Blog Address (URL).
What MichaelH said was, “Consider using phpMyAdmin to make sure your wp_options table has the correct values in siteurl and home.”
That means go to your host, sign in to your account, go to your database, sign in and check the wp_options table. This is where you can correct the change you made to the address.
Okay guys, sorry for not being patient yesterday. I guess I was hoping for a “magic button” to fix everything.
So this is where I’m at:
this morning I added “phpmyadmin” to my Yahoo SQL Data base utilities.
I’ve logged in to phpmyadmin
went to “wp_options”
edited my siteurl back to it’s original address. So now both my siteUrl and Homeurl are the samemy blogs still not fixed and I still can’t “log in”
what next?
oh, and I created a /blog3 as a test and everything works fine. So at least that narrows down my problem a bit.

In reply to: Yahoo Hosting / WP HelpThanks…
I’ll check the links for a Tech type guy / gal.Please leave this thread open, just in case I want to “panic” some more.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Yahoo Hosting / WP HelpBecause I’m so utterly confused.
Is there someone I can just pay $50 paypal, to go in and fix my issues for me? Perhaps be my “on call” tech guy. I’ll give full admin rights to my yahoo hosting account and once I’m able to log in to my WP account, full admin rights there as well.
Of course I’m not just going to trust anyone.. so WP Admin could you recommend someone?
besides myself and sick to my stomach

In reply to: Yahoo Hosting / WP HelpI’m sorry, but can’t this be any easier?
both your links bring me to YourDomain.Com.
I clear my cookies, cache, etc.. quite often ( twice today ).
I just want to log in to my account. Isn’t there a “Lost your Account Info?” button, that will email me my details, just for verification.
Perhaps I need the “Idiots Guide to Un-Screwing Up Your WP Blog”
