In reply to: Adding a borderIt looks like you need to change the width of the footer in the style sheet. Then add the border to the “wrap” div, making sure the footer falls within the wrap, which it looks like it does.

In reply to: NEWBIE; should I do this with wordpress?This is easily done in WordPress. Just make the front page a static “page” instead – This is a feature of WordPress. I do it all the time. 🙂
Your design can be easily implemented in WordPress.

In reply to: Installed 2.6.3 and now cannot log inI had a client with this problem just yesterday. Their situation is pretty unique, but who knows, may help you.
Turns out they had either moved their installation at the same time as upgrading, or had some old forwarding that wasn’t working now. Which sounds pretty vague, but here’s what it caused.
I was going to http://www.TheirDomain.com/wp-log-in and couldn’t log in. And when trying to do the “forgot password” function, it would just refresh instead of sending a re-set.
So I viewed the source, just for the heck of it. And the url info in there was for something like http://www.TheirDomainBefore.com (i.e. something other than what it should have been).
Meaning they had the wrong url info in their settings within WordPress. Therefore I did this fix: http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL#Quick_fix_method
And got them in. So maybe view your source just for the heck of it and see if the wrong URL info is in there?
It’s worth a shot.

In reply to: Posting Keeps Taking Back to Login ScreenBased on another thread, it looks like it might be a problem with the Prologue theme and 2.6.* having to do with the auth_redirect();
The thread with that info is here: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/189242

In reply to: Extra page. Can’t get rid of it.Have you tried deleting that category just in case that will do it? Most themes with “tabs” across the top call all the categories with a single php command. You can use the plug-in “exclude categories” or just try deleting that category.
If that doesn’t work, you may have to ask the theme developer for help or get professional help some other way. It’s pretty rare for a premium theme to hardcode in those kinds of tabs.

In reply to: Extra page. Can’t get rid of it.It looks like “Contact” is actually pulling a category and not a “page.” If you get rid of the contact category, that should get rid of it.

In reply to: A few questions.Just remove the background info from the style sheet and add your header to that area on header.php
Making your phpBB look like your pages requires changing the design on your php bb – it’s not something that is done in WordPress. I don’t have any experience with styling a phpBB, but I’ve done it with bbPress a few times.

In reply to: A few questions.To make your header image clickable, just add the php and html around the image. Example:
<a href="<?php echo get_settings('home'); ?>/"><img src="header.jpg" /></a>And to get your blog to stop displaying your title, just remove this bit from header.php :
<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>For the other items, I’m not sure you can include a phpbb within the pages of your site. I’m pretty sure the best you can do is change the look of your phpbb to look like the rest of your site.
Finally, what do you mean by “masked link”?
Hope this helps.

Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: WordPress no appearing as homepageYou have wordpress installed in a subdirectory, but you have the wrong information on your options.php file – you have it pointing to your root.
So your /wp-admin/options-general.php needs to point to http://www.sentientpuddle.co.uk/wordpress/ instead of http://www.sentientpuddle.co.uk/
or
you need to delete the whole thing and re-install wordpress in the root directory, and not the wordpress subdirectory.

In reply to: IE6 /archives getting 404Did you recently change permalink structure?
I’d love to know if you get this resolved – I can’t imagine how this could be browser-specific. Maybe other browsers are caching?
I’m curious.

In reply to: Adding a permanent image below the headerI’m a little bit unclrear on what you’re precisely trying to do. But I”m thinking you could just make the header div height taller then add the image below the rest of the header information.
