In reply to: index.php outside of WP directory?Well, I’m on a Mac, so I hit command+R to do that and still no go. Also, the post changed just fine when I refreshed, but the template elements remained the same. I did end up moving the index.php file into my root and now the changes are visible. For some reason WP isn’t writing the template changes to the correct index.php.
I even tried telling it to pull up “./index.php” and editing that, but it still makes the changes in the incorrect directory.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: index.php outside of WP directory?Podz, I’ve tried emptying the browser chache, if that’s what you mean. I’ve never heard the phrase “hard-refresh.” You’re right about the permissions, although I tried it just to be safe. No go. Can’t think of anything else aside from maybe it’s still writing to the index.php in the WP directory. I just tested this theory by changing the name of the index.php file in the WP dir. Suddenly, when I saved index.php in the template section, it said the file did not exist. I checked in Options>General to make sure the Blog Address URI was accurate and it was–still pointing at http://thepete.com–that should be enough, right? I even tried changing that to http://thepete.com/index.php and that didn’t help.
For now, I suppose, I could just transfer the index.php file out of the WP directory into my root whenever I change the template. Of course, that is a bit of a pain, so if there is a solution, I’d love to find it. Thanks again for the help!
Oh and macmanx, I understand what you’re saying, I was just giving you a little ribbing. I’m just a hardcore blogger and have worked really hard to figure out a way to include everything on my main page that I felt I needed to. Believe it or not, I cut a lot of stuff out. But, c’est la web, I guess. When I was still using Grey Matter I had worked out an easy way to do a low bandwidth version of my site, but with WP, I haven’t figured out how to do it just yet. I figure I want to get the full bandwidth version working first. But I do appreciate your advice.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: is there a custom field that will post nothing…Thanks, Podz! It took me all of about 5 minutes to figure out how to add my own custom quicktags. That’ll do perfectly!

In reply to: Sorry, no posts matched your criteriaHm, well, I haven’t used WordPress before this week and I’ve had it randomly in different browsers on different platforms. I was tweaking my templates just now and when to reload the page in Safari and I got the “no posts” message. Although it is the first time it’s happened on this particular copy of Safari. However, I’ve seen it happen on two other Macs in Safari. It’s also happened in Mozilla for PC. Weirdly, it’s never happened on Mozilla for my Mac…
I hope this doesn’t keep happening. Then again, since more people aren’t complaining, it can’t be that chronic, right?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: search variable/tag for WP?That is it, Podz! Thanks!

In reply to: email posts to and from WPYeah, I did. That was one of the first things I checked. So, I guess this error isn’t normal. I’ll try DLing the entire package again and reinstalling it.
So, I guess no one has any idea what’s up with my other question?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Using the date twiceOhhh, I see. Cool. Thanks.

In reply to: Using the date twiceSorry, I’m a n00b and not sure I follow you. How can I use the_time() instead of the_date() to display the date?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Post article via emailHuh, that’s weird because I’m having the same problem and adding the exclamation mark didn’t work for me. Does anyone have any other suggestions?

In reply to: Dumb Q: How do I setup to print a post?Well, here’s me being loud again–I am having trouble with wp-email.php. Here’s what I get when I try to email a post:
——-
Warning: smtpsend(class-smtp.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home2/www/thepete/theblog2/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php on line 463
Warning: smtpsend(): Failed opening ‘class-smtp.php’ for inclusion (include_path=”) in /home2/www/thepete/theblog2/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php on line 463
Fatal error: Cannot instantiate non-existent class: smtp in /home2/www/thepete/theblog2/wp-includes/class-phpmailer.php on line 530

I’ve got the files in the right folders–class-smtp.php is supposed to be in wp-includes, right?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Dumb Q: How do I setup to print a post?Thank you!!
So, I assume you like it loud? 🙂
Sorry, that came out way more dirty than I intended…Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Getting the category IDThanks for working this out–it was almost exactly what I was looking for!
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Delete all postsThanks, I was hoping there’d be some way to do with with out using a tool lik phpMyAdmin since I have zero experience with this sort of thing. But I’ll give it a try. As for TechGnome’s code–is it necessary since I’ve already installed Spam Stopgap? The spamming has stopped.
Thanks again for your help, both of you!Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Sorry, no posts matched your criteriaYeah, I’d like to know why clearing the cookies is required–I can’t expect my users to clear their cookies every time my site gives them an error. Is there some other solution? Like having WP somehow not check for a certain cookie that is causing this issue?

In reply to: Trying to ditch ALL bulletted listsThat did it! Sweet–thanks! I don’t know why I didn’t think of that myself. I really appreciate your help!
