Okay, after checking the directories thoroughly, it turns out that the directory and file permissions as I uploaded them were restricted (700), whereas the other theme folders and directories were accessible (755). I simply changed the permissions using the webhost’s file manager.

It’s weird, though, as I uploaded files using gFTP on Ubuntu 8.04 and had that problem, but when I switched to a Windows machine and uploaded files everything was as should have been in the first place.

Anyway, it’s resolved (took me a week to figure this out).

Thanks, kafkaesqui, that solved my problem. Hey podz, thanks anyway, even though I disagree – with care it’s quite simple to keep the id’s sequential.

Thanks for the help guys.

You seem to misunderstand me.

If it were just a plain old post it would be okay, since yeah, I’d edit it… but wp2 creates a page automatically. I can’t seem to reclassify it as a post. What’s more, if I delete a page, primary key (id-1, id-2, etc.) is deleted from the database and I’ll never get it back.

By default, the first page is given id-2. I can’t delete that because that will correspond to my second comic strip.

My script automatically assigns the number of the comicstrip as the link to it’s newspost, so…

let’s say "view.php?strip_id=2" will correspond to "index.php?p=2" .

If I delete id-2, that’ll create a big problem for my script. Also, I’ve thought about just editing the page anyway, but that would mess up the chronological order of things once I put up an archive index (pages are treated differently from posts).
