Right before the error I approved a comment. I emailed the web host. I don’t know much about mysql and am afraid to mess much with the tables. I found the control panel and did a “check table” on wp_post which gave the result “ok”. From reading other threads I saw a recommendation to clear the cache, and I found “flush” but it says I need “reload” privileges, which is what I am currently trying to figure out… * Stacey * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [display blog in root directory](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-blog-in-root-directory/) * Thread Starter [scurran](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scurran/) * (@scurran) * [19 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-blog-in-root-directory/#post-488375) * It worked perfectly.

I don’t know where it came from. The root directory on my site has a generic placeholder from the hosting company. I will delete that and see if it works. That makes perfect sense – I’ll let you know! * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [display blog in root directory](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-blog-in-root-directory/) * Thread Starter [scurran](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scurran/) * (@scurran) * [19 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/display-blog-in-root-directory/#post-488356) * Hello Michael, that is just what I did and it didn’t work. I edited index.php and put that in the root folder, I moved .htaccess to the root folder, and made the change to the blog URI to reflect just the root. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Where is .htaccess](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/where-is-htaccess/) * Thread Starter [scurran](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scurran/) * (@scurran) * [19 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/where-is-htaccess/#post-480341) * Thank you it seems to all be working. I was using Ipswitch FTP which does not allow you to view hidden files so I couldn’t change the permissions. I downloaded Filezilla that I saw recommended on this site and changed the permissions using that. Then when I changed the permalink settings for my blog it wrote the necessary to code to the file.

It gets uploaded to the wordpress main folder. * and create a file called .chmod 666? * Sorry, this is new to me. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Cannot leave comment](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-leave-comment/) * Thread Starter [scurran](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scurran/) * (@scurran) * [19 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-leave-comment/#post-479766) * Thank you, it seems to be working fine now. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Cannot leave comment](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-leave-comment/) * Thread Starter [scurran](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scurran/) * (@scurran) * [19 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cannot-leave-comment/#post-479754) * Wait – I found it in single.php.

Do you think this is related to the theme or the original intallation? I can try another theme, although I’d really like to use this one. Thanks again. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [photo in header](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/photo-in-header/) * Thread Starter [scurran](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scurran/) * (@scurran) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/photo-in-header/#post-280296) * Can you tell me this much – when a reference is made to “header image” is that the band of color they are referring to? My header.php file, now that I look at the kubrik one, is a bit thinner. I modified it using while reading “dissection of a word press theme” on urbangiraffe.com. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [overview of structure](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/overview-of-structure/) * Thread Starter [scurran](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scurran/) * (@scurran) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/overview-of-structure/#post-278839) * Hello. When I set up the path I did not make any changes from what WP recommended. I used the full path in the code within my post as well. The “[http://”](http://”); was already in the img quicktag pop up so I didn’t remove it. But everything else is exactly as it appears in the upload settings. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [overview of structure](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/overview-of-structure/) * Thread Starter [scurran](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scurran/) * (@scurran) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/overview-of-structure/#post-278778) * Ok I’m back 😛 * I followed your instructions. I get the dreaded red x in my post. Once the picture is uploaded successfully via wordpress, should it be visible with my ftp client in the destination folder? WordPress said the file was uploaded successfully but I don’t see it. * In the post, I clicked the “img” quick tag and plugged in the file name and the description when prompted. Have I missed something? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [overview of structure](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/overview-of-structure/) * Thread Starter [scurran](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scurran/) * (@scurran) * [20 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/overview-of-structure/#post-278744) * That is excellent information. Thank you very much. I have another question perhaps you can answer? Is there a straightforward way to include a photo in a post? Do I use FTP or a plug in? Thanks again, * Stacey * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [rename wordpress subfolder](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rename-wordpress-subfolder/) * Thread Starter [scurran](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scurran/) * (@scurran) * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/rename-wordpress-subfolder/#post-231160) * Thank you. That has worked except for the following oddity: when I load the blog there is only the text, no colors or formatting or layout. If I click back to the previous brower window, then forward to return to my blog, then the page appears correctly but I cannot login or load any subpages. * (it worked perfectly before I renamed the WordPress folder) Viewing 14 replies - 1 through 14 (of 14 total)
