Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How to force new users to contribute before they can registerHmm. Well I installed that plugin you suggested and when I was adjusting the settings I got nervous. It said that it’s very aggressive and could accidentally block ME out. So I created a couple more administrator accounts and will continue to deal with the junk mail for now. You know come to think of it, most of the spam is coming from two or three different sources so I could just block them and probably solve most of the issue without having that over-aggressive plug-in. What do you do, esmi, to control this?

In reply to: How to force new users to contribute before they can registerCool! Thanks Esmi! Yes I’m quite sure it’s an automated thing. Why do they do it – what is the benefit?

In reply to: How to force new users to contribute before they can registerThanks Esmi! You are always so helpful! Yes I see that option but what I’m trying to do is force a new user to comment at the same time they register. Now that I’m thinking it through, I’m realizing it’s almost impossible. Dumb idea! lol

In reply to: How to force new users to contribute before they can registerHm. I’m thinking through the question and feel I should clarify. So what I want to do is force them to make a comment on an already posted article. They must post a comment at the same time they are registering. New users cannot register unless they are commenting – something like that. Anyone have ideas? I’m just sick of the deadbeats who are trying to register for no good reason.

In reply to: Databases: Exporting and then importing to a new accountthank you esmi, I’m going to retrace my steps and try it this way. I’ll report back when I know more. Maybe this will help someone in the future.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Databases: Exporting and then importing to a new accountPlease don’t think I’m “bumping”. I wanted to edit above post but cannot find edit button.
I wanted to add that I went to my sql database that I uploaded and looked into the matter. The posts did upload, I can read them inside the database, but they are not showing on the website here: http://www.classysites.com/blog is where the pages and posts should show, but as you can see it still shows the original install.
Should I delete everything and re-load? I’m thinking maybe the problem is that I installed a new version of wordpress before I uploaded.
I’m going to try that now and I’ll come back to report if it worked. Can someone tell me how to edit my post so I don’t unintentionally bump?
Hmm. THIS post allows me to edit but first does not.

In reply to: WP Website, I'm ready for your critiquesWell if you have marketing pointers, I’m all ears! I agree about the horizontal scroll, I have seen it a lot on photography sites, like you mentioned. It’s a great start! Especially with all those likes already – I’m jealous! hehe

In reply to: Please critique my blogMy first reaction was wow that’s a nice picture but where’s the blog?
Forum: Your WordPress
In reply to: WP Website, I'm ready for your critiquesI like it! Very nice photos! I’m not a huge fan of the scrolling bar on the bottom and I thought the left sidebar looked too generic – not what you’d expect for the quality of photos! You have talent! But overall the links worked fine, the photos are fantastic, and it’s definitely a good start. You have over 4,000 likes already! How’d you do that?

In reply to: Moving entire wordpress installation from one website to anotherOh wow I can’t believe how easy I THINK this was. Please someone correct me if I’m wrong (I’m afraid to delete it again) but it looks like this is easily done in the settings tab. Just change the settings > General > WordPress address and site address. Is that all there is to it?
Wow Alchymyth, thank you, this plug-in looks like exactly what I need. I will report back when it works, going NOW! THANKS!!!
Holey toledo, that’s a GREAT PLUGIN! THANK YOU, it works PERFECTLY.
Wow S, that WORKED! And was so darn easy. But now I have the issue of like you said, there’s some layout issues that I need to fix. Do you have any ideas for me? Anyone else? http://www.scoutsonline.org/pack790 Not only am I having issues with the layout but the links for the side menu are not working.
