Have you tried to upload a copy of your theme to your themes folder again? I would try that. I hope this helps!

In reply to: Headache installation!Hi,
shirazdrum is right. Let me expand on it a bit further. WordPress stores all your content in databases. That means any posts you create, and any data you add to your site is in the actual database. Anytime you move a WordPress site to a new installation, you have to copy the wp-content folder from your local installation as well as import a copy of the database.
I hope this helps!

In reply to: WP preview not workingYou may want to disable all of your plugins and reset the theme to the default to troubleshoot. You can do this by using FTP and renaming the plugins folder. Also, rename your current theme folder and it will force WordPress to use the default theme.
Then if you’re still getting the error. I would suggest downloading a fresh copy of 3.3 and overwriting the files. Before you do this, I’d make a backup of your current site though. Also, do not overwrite the wp-content folder as this is where the content of your website is stored.

In reply to: HELP! fatal error upgrading to 3.3It appears the issue is with your theme you are using. Disable the theme by renaming the arras folder under themes using FTP. This will force your website to use the default theme. Then you’ll be able to login to your admin dashboard and make the changes you need.
I hope this helps!

In reply to: update to 3.3 now 500 error and can't access to dash board500 errors are generic in nature. Typically, when I see 500 errors I check the file permissions to make sure they are set correctly. Also, You want to disable ALL plugins. You can do this by renaming the plugins folder. Also, if you’re not using the default theme, you may want to. To reset the theme to the default, rename the current theme folder.
If none of these solves the issue, you may need to look in your server’s error logs to see what actually is causing the 500 error.
I hope this helps!

In reply to: move old blog to a new site domain and folderHi Carl,
Thanks for getting back to me. You are correct re-directs are set up and controlled through your .htaccess file. There’s no quick and easy way to set up the 301’s and you wouldn’t want it either. You want to make sure the pages are redirected to the appropriate pages that have similar content. I hope this helps! 301’s are a lot of work, but can be a life saver when it comes to saving Page Rank when setting up a new site.

Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: New to WordPressIf you’re new to WordPress you may want to look for a free theme available to see if there’s one already that meets your needs. You can do this after you install WordPress in the dashboard under >Appearance
Also, you can look at current themes here:

In reply to: Migrating From html to WordPressHi geester1,
I would suggest leaving your old website up some the time being and develop WordPress either locally or in a subfolder of your live site. Then once you are happy with the WordPress website migrate it over to replace the HTML version. That way, your site will remain “live” and intact during the re-building process.
There’s tons of great free themes available. Once you install WordPress you can go to appearance and search for themes.
I hope this helps!

In reply to: I want to start to changeSorry, I’m having a hard time following what you are trying to do. Are you trying to distinguish admin posts from other users? Where do you want to distinguish them?
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: move old blog to a new site domain and folderEven though each page/ post is created dynamically, it still has a specific URL. Set up permalinks in your dashboard, and then use the links to the pages to create the 301 redirects.

In reply to: Menu label issue in WP3.3 upgradeWhen I looked at the plugins page, it’s lists 3.3 but only one person voted on its compatibility and said it didn’t work. Without actually exploring the plugins code, I’m not much help. I’d see if you can leave forum post on his plugin forum:

In reply to: Menu label issue in WP3.3 upgradeThe plugin may not yet be compatible with 3.3 yet.

In reply to: move old blog to a new site domain and folderWell, you want the 301 redirects to point from a specific page to another specific page. If you change the database you’ll have to update your config file, but it should not cause any issues. I would for safe measure backup up your files and database prior to making changes.
