In reply to: Why is my footer text hanging weirdly in the BG (right side)Hoping somebody can help me with this.
Problem is, the footer text that used to be in the footer is dangling in the background when I preview or view my blog on line.
I have no idea why, and no idea how to fix this.
In my theme editor, the footer text displays right where it’s supposed to.
It used to display correctly online and in preview.
I resaved a new theme, installed it, and activated it (and of course deleted the existing theme).
But the problem didn’t go away.
Did you call the company that hosts your WP files?

In reply to: Pages and Posts DisappearedI called my hosting company, and they said a database had been corrupted, and they fixed it. They were willing to tell me how to fix it myself, but I’m expecting this won’t happen again for a long time, so instead of writing down and storing the instructions, I’ll call back for help if it happens again some day.

In reply to: Permalinks – duplicates the URLAh. The solution was the first thing you said. Didn’t need the rest.
I.e., the problem was that what I put in the custom window:
http://domainname.com/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%
should have just been
/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%
Woops. Not true. Lots and lots more information than just the number of visitors and new/returning… You have to tell it what features you want to use.

In reply to: Permalinks – duplicates the URLJust to be sure I understand…
1. Reset to default
2. Make sure nothing is in the custom address box
3. Go into Appearance/Themes and activate the default theme
4. Try to set up a custom permalink again
5. If it works, reset the desired theme.If I’m confused on anything, I hope you’ll let me know.
Thanks very much!

In reply to: [Plugin: Accordion WordPress Plugin] Posts disappeared and unable to postTried that. didn’t work.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: All My Pages and Posts Have DisappearedSame here.
All gone.
Was fine day before yesterday when I was working on rearranging the publish order of some posts, and some links.
Didn’t go into my server; just used WordPress.
Everything was displaying fine after I logged out.
Will restore old stuff with backups, but would really like to know how this happened so I can prevent it from happening again.
Thanks!

In reply to: Password fails; reset email doesn’t arrive; phpMyAdmin doesn’t helpForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Resetting Email Address in phpMyAdminAppears that above BIN in the dropdowm menu that lists all those functions is a blank. I chose that, and my email address returned to normal.
But it didn’t solve the original problem, which is:
I’m testing WordPress’s Lost Password? tool.
I get the confirmation from WordPress: Check your e-mail for the confirmation link.
But the email never arrives.
Any solutions? (I’ve looked quite a while and am not finding it.)
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Resetting Email Address in phpMyAdminI accidentally changed the email function when fixing the password.
MD5 doesn’t work. I’ve tried a few of the other ones.
Can’t find a way to “reset default”
Can’t find the right function.
Any help is most appreciated.

In reply to: Password fails; reset email doesn’t arrive; phpMyAdmin doesn’t helpNot getting a reply…
Does anyone know…
When you provide an email address in the Lost Password? window
and then WP returns a message that says:
“Please enter your username or e-mail address. You will receive a new password via e-mail”
does this mean WP’s system is acknowledging that the email address provided matches what’s in my WP installation for this blog?
Why would the email message never arrive to the address that phpMyAdmin shows is the correct one for the blog I can’t log into with my password?

In reply to: Urgent Help NeededNot sure about this, but maybe this’ll at least give you some ideas…
If you haven’t already backed up, see if you can access your files via FTP (filezilla is free and works great for that) or the file manager your hosting company probably provides.
Back them up on your local computer (and back up to a couple external drives.) You can probably back them up on the server too. Just make a folder and put everything there.
See if there’s a way to redo the upgrade.
See if your host has a way to redo the upgrade.
Check your index.php file. (You can see all your files with an FTP app or your host’s file manager tool.) Look at the code in index.php itself.
In your WP admin area, look at the permalink for the default home page. See if it’s right and edit it if it isn’t.
Not sure any of this will help, but nobody replied to you and I just thought I’d tell you what I’d be doing (in addition to asking here).

In reply to: Do these features exist in WP?Register Plus is a great plugin that lets you generate an invitation code. You might be able to use that feature like, or even as, a coupon code in an online store. Don’t have the details clear in my head how you could do this, but it seems like the solutuion might lie in there somewhere. I think Register Plus is the best WP registration plugin though.
1. Forum: http://bbpress.org/ would be a good place to start
2. front-end file upload restricted to registered members. WordPress has built-in ways to manage user access. Also, Register Plus helps with that.
3. video embedding. Just get the link from the video host and embed it into the post or page. Users you assign to low levels can’t post content; users you assign to higher levels can post content. A video embed link or URL is content.
4. automatically creation of a registered user “area” where each user can upload audio and video files. With WP’s and RP’s user access tools, your users would log in to the Word Press admin area itself and work with their content there.Check out WP’s Support Documentation about user access. And the Register Plus web site. http://devbits.ca
