    Thanks for no help at all. I found a better plugin that does what I want.

    Thank you Jeremy, it was actually another plugin that was the problem. Thank you! Its good to be reminded of the first steps to take before seeking help from the forums, but in a weak moment without coffee we all make mistakes 🙂

    I am having the same problem. I am getting this error displaying at the top of my pages on the backend (WordPress dashboard) and frontend (my website). Sometimes it is just above everything (as if it moves all content and everything down on the page to insert itself above) and sometimes it just completely makes the page go white and only shows this error message.

    Warning: preg_match() expects parameter 2 to be string, array given in /home/rootedup/public_html/polibama.com/wp-includes/class-simplepie.php on line 1727

    Are you suggesting saving the files to my computer through an FTP and then uploading them again to my site? I will try this, but I am doubtful it is going to do anything. Any other ideas?

    OK, I have done as instructed and discovered that when I had two specific plugins active at the same time this was causing the issue.

    Now however, I had added some new plugins and am getting the error again. I simply can’t NOT use these plugins and I need some official WordPress support – some techies who know the platform – to please help me get these errors to go away.

    Please and thank you.

    Well, I don’t have the SimplePie plugin, I understand from reading the description page that it is an RSS and Atom feeder, but the only two plugins I am using for that purpose is FeedWordPress and Strictly Auto Tags. I will try deleting and re-installing them. But why would the Warning mention SimplePie if I do not have it installed? Also, I did a search using the file manager from Hostgator (my hosting company) and found many class-simplepie.php files, across several domains I manage, I have never used the SimplePie plugin, and some of the sites where I found the file never have even used RSS or Atom feeds…

    What happens if class_simplepie.php is just a standard file that comes with WordPress or Thesis?

    Well thank you! Let’s say you were a potential customer though, what would your impression be… you know, a fresh pair of eyes are always good for improvement.

    Hey I found a plugin that does this too…

    http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/page-links-to/

    Sorry, Page Links to is built in to a Template I am using (my bad).

    You can probably find a way to use custom fields to do this, or by using a theme that has it built in, like “Mu” from the ThemeLoom.

    @jazbo
    If you have installed and activated the plugin (Step 1) I also assume you read the instructions and viewed the screen shots from the plugin’s website at http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/the-events-calendar/screenshots/

    The screenshot third from the bottom of that page indicates that you create an event by creating a new post. Once you publish this event/post you should see it on your site somewhere.

    @aardvarkgirl
    Look in the upper right of your WordPress dashboard for a “Screen Options” tab. Select all the check boxes to display all options while creating a new post or editing existing ones.

    Hi Ruhrgebiet,

    1. Install and activate the plugin.
    2. Create an event, and view the event on your live website.
    3. Copy the URL. Should look like: http://yourdomain.com/category/events/upcoming
    4. Create a page, example: “Events”
    5. Edit “Page Links To” with the URL you copied. Save.
    6. You’re done. Click on “Events” in your navigation bar of homepage.

    @ supersnapp: I don’t know if your problem is the same as mine or not, but I have resolved the problem I was experiencing.

    First, being new to WordPress means that my mistake is probably common, yet I still feel like an idiot for not knowing better.

    The problem is that I was logging into my blog at rootedup.wordpress.com/wp-admin and trying to select the themes I had uploaded to HostGator cPanel. This will not EVER work, because the proper HTTP:// to go to is rootedup.com/wp-admin.

    A slight difference, but one that makes all the difference! I can now login to my correct admin and select the themes that have been there all along, I just wasn’t going to the right place to see them.

    *NOTE: You will also need to make sure that the Name Servers are the ones used by your hosting provider. In my case, cokesburymargate.com does not have the Name Servers for HostGator, therefore I cannot expect and edits to WordPress to work, even if I install WordPress on the site in my cPanel using Fantastico Delux.

    I hope all of this was helpful… I finally figured it out with a very helpful tech rep from HostGator that chatted with after 1.5 hours.

    I have tried two different methods:

    1: upload the zip file to HostGator file manager (into wp-content/themes folder) then unzip. This has typically been the way I do it.

    2: I downloaded an FTP client and synced with my HostGator site/account and uploaded the already zipped files into the wp-content/themes folder.

    When done I go to my wordpress account dashboard and when looking under Appearances > Themes the only themes visible are the free ones that were created by the WP community or whomever…. but my themes are nowhere to be seen.

    I don’t think this is an FTP issue, something else is going on with wordpress.

    I am uploading a .zip file to HostGator cPanel into the /themes folder, then HostGator has an unzip feature that puts the theme there the way it should be.

    I dont see any message about broken themes… I only see a library of assorted free themes that I can use from WordPress.

    nevermind, I’ve decided eShop is crap, and I’m using and liking WP-e-commerce much better.
