Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Write/compose modei upgraded Simple Forum which is causing some admin issues. like i see my tags in posts and in the tag cloud but in admin i get 404 messages on the tags. so admittedly my admin is a bit quirky at the moment. however, i had this issue before the SF upgrade.
the visual/code tab option = is that a standard within wordpress or a plug option?

In reply to: Tags = 404One other qurk about “admin” regarding the tags. If I link on a tag on a blog page it works. When I click the same tag in “manage tags” in admin = 404.
Also, I usually get a Google “tag” search hit every couple of minutes. Well it has been 12 hrs since the tags worked on the blog page. But I have not had a Google “tag” search hit in over 24 hrs. Maybe Google will take a couple of days to get ramped up again? Or maybe tags are not real even though I see them. Just thinking out loud here.

In reply to: Tags = 404Still not out of this. I found the “Pages” but not in the “manage pages” in admin because they are not there except for the three new pages i made as a test. And I still get the 404 message.
I did find them in the category “Uncatergorized” which was not where they were before all of this happened. All 22 pages are sitting here. So my admin is a bit tricked out regarding pages. Any thoughts here? I can copy/paste the contact and make new pages = same thing with new ID’s. Or is there a way to fix the admin?

In reply to: Tags = 404i don’t know what just happened. i did not do anything today but rename an errant tag. the correct tag is “environment” and there was a tag = enviroment. i deleted the misspelled tag. that’s the only change i made, the rest of my time was going through the tag options in the admin section.
as i was writing the support forum for Simple Tagging (which is now obsolete being replaced by Simple Tag for WP v2.3) to see if the plug was supported i added a brand new tag “test” to see if a brand new tag would work after the SF upgrade. well it does. not only that. it appears all tags are working now, both in the post and the tag cloud.
i won’t mark this resolved just yet. but i have a good feeling.

In reply to: Tags = 404I wrote two new pages and see them in the wp-post table. So it seems strange that the posts are still there but not the “pages” so maybe the pages are still in the database.
That said, since the tags are generated by the Simple Tagging plug I went into admin area of the plugin. I found files that were not tagged and it listed about 10 “pages” that I thought were dropped! This is good news.
I am going to contact the developer of Simple Tagging hoping they support the plug and may have insight what is going on with the tags.
Things are so bad with Google now that I am no longer getting ads relating to my posts but am getting the default ads.

In reply to: Image Upload issueWell the solution was too easy. Went to options, misc, upload. Somehow the path look like this = /../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../tmp
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Image Upload issueThis is part of many problems. It seems to be a database issue as tables were modified. I have lost all my “pages” and “tags”.
my database backup, alas, is a bit older than i want so trying to restore things. backing up on the computer is very easy = automatic every night. backing up the database on the server = i need to mend my way and backup regularly or at least when i upgrade something. i wish there was an automatic feature…
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: find/change user and password for startersok, i am in. i did not do a complete reinstall. i deleted all the tables in the existing database via phpmyadmin. i deleted and reinstalled a new wp-config.php file. lesson learned. don’t start something if you can’t finish it when all the details are fresh in your mind!
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: find/change user and password for startersmaybe it is easier to start entirely over? remove wordpress from server. delete database. reinstall, etc…
note: i have my isp technicians recreate a database name and password for me for my config.php = i have had to do that every time. so i hope a step is not bypassed.
if answer is yes, let me know if there are any cache issues, etc, thanks. ron
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: find/change user and password for startersi also went to a site i am familiar with via phpmyadmin, saw all the id’s etc. i don’t think there is a user on this site. all space usage items = 0 if that is an indicator. i can see all the tables but there does not appear to be any data anywhere,
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: find/change user and password for startersi backed up and match per the example you provided. sorry, rebuild tables?
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: find/change user and password for startersok,
i went through phpmyadmin and found this…
1) does not have a login or pass ID to edit.
2) there is a warning! it says two indexes appear equal and one should be removed…user_login unique user_login
user_login_key index user_loginr
