In reply to: theme installation problemI can’t find any details on optimizerpress… sounds like a dud theme if all the others are working. I would choose something else and forget the headache 🙂

In reply to: Having problems uploading an imageIt’s a strange problem indeed. In my haste I didn’t read you were running your own server.
What I described is common in shared hosting environments.
Not sure what else it could be at the moment. If i think of anything I will let you know.

In reply to: theme installation problemDo you have the same issue with other themes?

In reply to: Transferred to new domain now the layout is a messI think it could just be an issue with the CSS files not being read correctly after the domain move.
You may want to try making sure that you’ve referenced all the files you need correctly and that they exist and are accessible from your new WP location.

In reply to: Article Submission page ??Why not set users up as “users” in WordPress and set the permissions for their role such that the content is not published until approved by a user with “Editor” or “admin” role?

In reply to: Having problems uploading an imageA few of our hosting clients have faced this issue when they’ve used all the space up in their hosting plan.
So you may want to double check that and if so free up some space so WordPress can save the file somewhere.

In reply to: How to transfer every bit of my website to another urlOption 2 works. To make sure the changes you make to the layout etc are carried over you need to download the folder for your theme from your “development” wordpress.
So the folder in /wp-content/themes/YOUR-EDITED-THEME
Where YOUR-EDITED-THEME is the name of the theme you are working on.
Take that folder and upload to the main blog.
Option two is the ideal solution as you can show your client the site on your local machine or another address on their domain e.g. yourdomain.com/development
As for option 1.
if you place index.html in the root folder of your wordpress install then it *should* take preference over index.php. This varies depending on server set up and if it doesn’t work you’ll want to talk to your host. They should help you determine the order of preference for index files.
Yes, you can simply delete or rename the index.html file when you’re ready to launch.
Depending on how you’re going to set up your site i.e. blog on the homepage or blog on another page e.g. /blog then you *may* be able to show your client the homepage.
If the homepage is a static page you can develop it at yourdomain.com/home and then for example make it the actual homepage when you go live by editing settings > reading > and selecting home as the static page you want as homepage.
Hope that makes sense.

In reply to: How to transfer every bit of my website to another urlHi Paul,
You have a couple of options here.
1) You may redirect, but how you redirect will make some difference.
If you’re going the redirection route, I highly recommend that you create an index.html file with a temporary redirect.
Look at the meta refresh redirection method.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/URL_redirectionYou will be able to access your site, but since version 3 of WordPress trying to access the homepage won’t work. i.e. yourdomain.com/index.php won’t load anything.
yourdomain.com will redirect as you want
yourdomain.com/page-name-here will show you that page site you are working on. (please make sure settings permalinks you have a custom structure of /%postname%/ )
Solution number 2: (this may be easier but involves more work)
Redirect the site as mentioned above.
Install wordpress somewhere else on your server or even locally on your pc/mac. Develop the site theme and content as you want it on this second wordpress. Once you’re done export content and save theme files etc as outlined in my last post and then transfer all to the main WP site.
Hope that helps 🙂

In reply to: [myMag] MyMag Memory too big, site suspended!I agree with donncha.
JustHost should be willing to get sorted out. I have heard of other WordPress hsers having similar issued with “unlimited” web hosts that turn out to be not so unlimited.
Hopefully JustHost will unsuspend you and help you figure out which plugin is misbehaving. One good idea may be to disable all your plugins and check resource usage. If it doesnt drop, then dont waste your time disabling each plugin and look for a more liberal host.
I understand JustHosts position, they must ensure no single user uses up too much of the servers resources causing a slow down for other users sharing the server. Due to their low prices and “unlimited” offer they need to put more accounts on.a server to make money and can therefore only give each customer a small slice of processor/ram etc.
If the disabling of plugins doesnt work, and JustHost arent doing their utmost to help, I would suggest switching to another host.
Try somewhere like zippykid – they’re wordpress fanatics, like us.Im happy to recommend more hosts if thats the route you choose to take.
I hope you manage to figure this out with your host and dont have to switch.
Best of luck!

In reply to: I've been hacked!Hi Bordeauxwoman,
It’s very difficult to say what you need to do without looking at the issue.
Your files could be poisoned so they redirect. If this is all please ask your host to roll your files back to when your site was last ok.
If your host offers cpanel you can log in there and change your password using phpmyadmin.
Google “change wordpress password phpmyadmin” that should set you on the right path.
Hi Robotics Professor,
I think for the training and online quizzes etc you would be best suited to using moodle.
You can by all means use wordpress to content manage your main “sales” site and even do the ecommerce.
Most clients I work with use zen cart or something similar for ecommerce.
Wp-ecommerce I have heard is a viable ecommerce platform for wordpress also.You’ll need to look online for a way of integrating any ecommerce with moodle to the point where it auto creates a user and password for the customer and enrols them for all or some of your courses. If you know php this should be rather straight forward.
Then just create a wordpress theme and moodle theme to match. And your site will look seamless.
If you’d like to discuss further please let me know. Good luck.

Save the file somewhere safe.
With bluehost log in to cpanel and then look for either fantastico or installation or softaculous and then follow steps to install wordpress
Once installed log in to you dashboard. Usually yourdomain.com/wp-admin
Once logged in go to tools > import and select the file you exported from wp.com
Follow the steps and that’s all there is to it. Good luck!
