Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Wordpres 2.0 200 OK errorWhat happens if you save the database and start with a fresh installation rather than upgrade? You can set up another installation apart (different temporary directory) to test the effect of this tactic.

In reply to: Parse ErrorDelete the older files in questions and upload them afresh rather than overwrite them. These issues were reported before. Maybe the datastamp or something else prevents them from being overwritten properly. So, you have a mixture of files from different versions.

In reply to: Links on menu.phpWhen you create an item in WordPress, you can view it and grab the address from your browser’s address bar. In principle, you could plug-in any address you wish and it will correspond to a certain — shall we say — ‘view’ of the entries that you have. All items from a month, category, or even page 7 of the reverse-chronological entries view.

In reply to: Categories ProblemIt sounds like you are trying to migrate from another CMS or add some textual files that you have on your hard-drive. Where does the content come from? Maybe importers are available. You could also shove entries directly into the database rather than use the Web-based interface, provided you are confident in that area.

In reply to: Links on menu.phpYou will need frames or iframes to achieve this. It would be complicated. The better thing to do is an embedment of the pages in WordPress. Make them blog items and treat them as such.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: New ThemesYou can get new themes from a variety of place, but here is the place to start:
You add them to:
/ wp-content / themes
under the directory where you install WordPress.
Lastly (or firstly I should say), to install wordpress, download it:
http://wordpress.org/download/
Uncompress, and upload it to the server, e.g. using FTP software.

In reply to: calenderHi, go to your themes directory, find the current theme, edit inde.php therein and add e.g.:
<li id=”calendar”>
<?php get_calendar(); ?>
(close li here, the forum software is giving me a hard time)just where you want it. The module is there, I’ve just checked and tested this to confirm.

In reply to: â€?„“>>< < knock rss downYour feed reader probably does not handle quotes too well, in particular Microsoft’s so-called ‘smart quotes’. These are badly understood by many applications and do not comply with standards that various applications adhere to. As for the > and < signs (order is intentional), I suggest you use the following as a reference:

See the HTML symbols of these characters you are trying to embed.

In reply to: Home Page (index) modificationOne possibility you have is to redirect from your front page to the page of the particular category. The other possibility is to edit the index.php file inserting a condition involving a match to category number. That, of course is slightly more complex, but leaves you with an elegant URL.

In reply to: how to stop spam from trackbackWhen publishing a post, made sure you untick ‘allow trackbacks’. It might not help a great deal though. You can also edit all past posts to disregard trackbacks if you rarely get any genuine ones.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Changing the text in a password protected post?I believe you will need to find the text (string) “This post is password protected. To view it please enter your password below:” in one of the functions of your WordPress installation and change it. I don’t know which file contains it, but let me run a scanner.
[…]
roy@BAINE:~/wordpress> fgrep “This post is password” *
roy@BAINE:~/wordpress> fgrep -R “This post is password” *
wp-content/themes/default/comments.php: <p class=”nocomments”>This post is password protected. Enter the password to view comments.
wp-includes/template-functions-post.php: ‘ . __(“This post is password protected. To view it please enter your password below:”) . ‘So there, go to these files and modify them. Hope this helps.

In reply to: Upgrading from 1.5.1.3 to 1.5.2First of all, (not knowing the needs of you site) why not wait for a few days for until the release of version 2.0?
The 1.5.2 and 1.5.1.3 alteration should not break anything. This isn’t quite the case when it comes to WordPress 2.0, but there is an extensive list for plug-in compatibility.
If you follow the upgrade instructions, you should not lose anything. The upgrade to 2.0 is similar to that of 1.5.x. in fact, much of the text will be re-used for the time of release.

In reply to: I can not move to the step3 when installI would try a different browser if I were you. Just in case… if this recurred, it sounds rather surprising. You could also try to recover the assigned password, but it’s not simple. I believe it is not stored in explicit form.

In reply to: PHP 5.0.4It could just as well be something else. If there was a bug in PHP, you’d probably get a warning or an error display. Consider other possibilities and post more details about what you tried and what the outcome was.
