    Just checked back and saw the support links so I will try to see what happened and keep it from recurring.
    Meanwhile, I logged in as admin, deleted the blog name and replaced it with the correct name. That solved my problem and I don’t know if there was any further intrusion or whether this was just thumb-your-nose prank.
    I hope it was that, but I’m going to try to harden my site just for drill.
    Good luck, Allison. I hope your troubles are just as small.

    Hi Allison,
    I just went to my infrequently used blog and found the title had been changed to “Hacked By Badi Fuck Ghassen Jebari” .
    Everything else seems to have been untouched. When I viewed the source I found that code had been inserted and php bloginfo(‘name’) came out as shown. I suppose that I need to find where that php info is stored and change it, but I’m not sure where that is.
    Also, I have no idea if that is all that was done.
    I have two other sites on the same hosting site and neither of them was touched. It seemed to be just the WordPress blog.
    I hope someone will help us both out.
    Good luck

    Same problem….. couldn’t login after 2.6 upgrade. Even having new password sent didn’t work. I tried your suggestions…clearing cookies, temp internet files, etc. ..no help. I tried changing passwords on MySql database…no help.
    Someone suggested de-activating plugins, but didn’t say how so I used FTP to delete all the plugins. Then had a new password sent and it worked!!!
    Once in, I quickly updated my users, etc and downloaded and installed the plugins I wanted.
    To the other person who was asking ‘How do I deactivate plugins when I can’t get to the dashboard?’ There’s one answer.
    Thanks again to all who made great sugestions. I couldn’t get there alone.
    Great forum!
    BTW FYI I upgraded using WordPress Automatic Upgrade with the ‘automatic’ option. In the past I have used the plugin, but only one step at a time.

    Made a file “leftsidebar.php” just like “sidebar.php” and added code to “template-functions-general.php” to create function “get_leftsidebar()”

    I just cut and paste an existing function block and edit the necessary words like change “get_sidebar()” to “get_leftsidebar().

    I hope this helps.

    If you are using Windows, the easiest way to install a server on your computer that I have found is Easy Web Server found here. It installs Apache, MySql, and sets up a localhost server in one step. It works well for me.

    Are you asking how to set up a localhost server on your computer or are you wanting to set up WordPress on a free web hosting site? There is a world of difference.

    If you mean like this, it’s done by creating another sidebar in CSS and floating it right. Then, the content must be adjusted by padding. e.g.

    .content {padding: 0 20% 0 20%; }

    then the right sidebar can be width 20% and it works pretty well.

    I hope this will help.

    Thanks. I finally got it. There’s a reason for the hyphens in the directory names. The chain is broken if you name a directory green pelican. Well, now that that’s out of the way……..

    I have the same problem with trying to validate the W3C CSS on my site. I get this
    I know the stylesheet exists and functions on the site. Why can’t W3C (jigsaw) find it?
    Any help will be appreciated. I like to validate.

    I’ve had a similar experience trying to change the font-family of the posts. I assumed that .storycontent would do the trick, but nothing I entered changed the font. I could change color, etc. but not the font. After much unnecessary troubleshooting I finally got around to checking the css for fonts and discovered the little line:

    p, li, feedback {
    font: 90%/175% Tahoma, Arial, sans-serif;
    }

    That little p tag was driving the font declaration for the posts no matter what I declared in the <div> .storycontent .

    Once I removed p from that line I had no further trouble declaring the font that I wanted in .storycontent. Voila! Cascading means cascading..

    In a line use <font size=”10″>blah, blah, blah</font> I have used this in posts and the page validates as XHTML ok. See an example at
