In reply to: Help – My banner disappeared???oh hold on.
I changed from FF to IE7.
In FF I don’t see the ad banner..just the startawebsitebiz image.
In IE7 I see both.
FF is blocking the ad banner (ad block plus extension) or it is a css problem.Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: upgrading plugins in 2.8Tracy
Have you tried to upgrade by FTP instead?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How to Destroy WP easilyAre you comfortable with phpMyAdmin?
If so, here’s how.1. From you cPanel or Plesk or whatever, get to phpMyadmin. in CPanel you go through mysql link and then phpmyadmin is at the footer.
2. Find you wordpress database. If you only have 1 database the process is similar, look for the table called wp_options. If you have changed the wp prefix, adjust accordingly.
3. Hit browse and look for a field (column) at the top called option_name and look for a value called site_url. For me, it’s the very first record (row). This is where you should see the url for your blog..edit it.
if you’re ensure don’t attempt this…and in either case always a good idea to backup your blog first.

In reply to: Where is Widgets on the Appearance Menu – WP2.7Why would they not include it in the menu.php?
Good question. I think it might be code bloat…that’s when the slopiness starts.

In reply to: How to Destroy WP easilyActually, it may be temporarily inconvenient, but bless you for having the guts to try it.
I feel like the kid who put his finger in the fan just to see what would happen.

It’s already fixed, I did it myself without any help.
Is it ok to hit the post button, or will it kill my browser?Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: 2.8 is evilWordPress has some quirks that can be a real PITA.
1. After backing up, I upgraded automatically to 2.8 and had a major issue due to my existing Google Analytics plugin. I could no longer login! Thankfully I wasn’t on the road so I was able to rename the plugins folder with my FTP client, this allowed me to login and then deactivate it.
2. Not a 2.8 issue per say, but I changed my WordPress address in General Settings to test something and it basically destroyed everything – no login, no CSS, my site rendered like it was 1995. How can you allow the user to destroy his blog so easily from General Settings. Not even a warning? Why is that option there in the first place since it is so faulty? And the fix? I had to go into the table and change the record – that’s totally ridiculous.
Better error trapping would help.As for performance…everything works fine. Pages load very well. Please take the criticism as constructive, WordPress is a wonderful product.

In reply to: How do I Backup WordPressthanks but I don’t use any plugins…particularly for something as critical as a backup.
I’m looking for the optimal way through cpanel/phpMyAdmin. I’ve done dozens of backups and restores…just want to know what’s recommended – codex gives two different versions of the truth.
For example, complete inserts…is it necessary???
I think I might answer my own question..
“Complete inserts” adds the column names on every INSERT command, for better documentation (but resulting file is bigger).Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Where is Widgets on the Appearance Menu – WP2.7Thanks Clayton.
I actually resolved this one by editing functions.php. You just need to comment out the submenu line. Very strange how they did not include this in the menu.php file./** * Append the Widgets menu to the themes main menu. * * @since 2.2.0 * @uses $submenu The administration submenu list. */ function wp_widgets_add_menu() { global $submenu; //$submenu['themes.php'][7] = array( __( 'Widgets' ), 'switch_themes', 'widgets.php' ); ksort( $submenu['themes.php'], SORT_NUMERIC ); }Forum: Fixing WordPress
