Change the status of the post to draft and take a look at your site again. If your sidebar is showing properly now, it may have been the coding that resulted from the image (could have a div tag or something). * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Set home page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/set-home-page/) * [shimon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shimon/) * (@shimon) * [19 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/set-home-page/#post-559330) * Why don’t you download your original theme again so you have your index.php again? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How would I choose category names and slugs to be findable ?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-would-i-choose-category-names-and-slugs-to-be-findable/) * [shimon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shimon/) * (@shimon) * [19 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-would-i-choose-category-names-and-slugs-to-be-findable/#post-558604) * Usually, for seo purposes, I go with just the postname (for a single post) without the category. I believe and have read that this is the best way to go. Leaving the category in there is ok too for seo. The category should come first if you leave it in. They will find it if they search for it. However, the reason I would go with just postname is because if they search for the category, they will find your category page anyhow, and that will have the relevant posts as well. * You can’t go wrong with %postname% alone. Hope this helps. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Design Inquiry](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/design-inquiry/) * [shimon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shimon/) * (@shimon) * [19 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/design-inquiry/#post-557811) * nstudio design is awesome. google them. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Hiding comment link](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hiding-comment-link/) * [shimon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shimon/) * (@shimon) * [19 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/hiding-comment-link/#post-557810) * you can still post a comment though you disabled them? Or is it just showing the link even though you cannot comment? * If it’s the latter, you could remove the call to comments.php in index.php (or loop.php) and single.php .

Use keywords for post names and categories. Hope that helps though I think you’re asking a question of order? please explain more if you need more help. 🙂 * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Set home page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/set-home-page/) * [shimon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shimon/) * (@shimon) * [19 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/set-home-page/#post-559027) * I thought 2.1 had this built in the admin??

Thank you! * However, even though I uncheck comments in options–>discussion and uncheck it on the post write page, there is still the “write a comment” thing. Feh! I could take out the call to comments.php in the loop.php and single.php unless anyone knows why I’m having this problem. I just want to know if there’s something wrong with my installation or theme or what? * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Plugin Problem](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-problem-1-2/) * [shimon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shimon/) * (@shimon) * [19 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-problem-1-2/page/2/#post-555095) * hmmm, what I suggested in the first post? Or what was later suggested about your whole site folder structure? Just curious.

Anyone can help me with the design issue? * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Plugin Problem](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-problem-1-2/) * [shimon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shimon/) * (@shimon) * [19 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-problem-1-2/#post-554757) * Sometimes when you extract the zip folder it will create a hierarchy of folders like the following: there is one folder that contains nothing else but another folder by the same or similar name. This inner folder contains all the actual files for the plugin you need. What you need to do is upload only the inner folder into the plugins directory on your wordpress installation. I know it could sound confusing, but let me know if you didn’t get that, or if it does not fix the problem. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Problems uploading images](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-uploading-images-3/) * [shimon](https://wordpress.org/support/users/shimon/) * (@shimon) * [19 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-uploading-images-3/#post-554752) * check your permissions. Uploads folder should be on 777.
