In reply to: [Wordpress Connect] [Plugin: WordPress Connect] facepileHi
I”m trying to place a facepile widget in the footer area of my site, http://www.thomaskaufman.com/author
Part of wordpress connect is a facepile widget, and that’s what I’m putting in that footer area. The heading shows “Facepile,” but that’s it. No faces.
thanks

I found a plugin, Update URLs and that solved my problem.

In reply to: Make home page NOT the home pageMe three!
But now, there’s a small problem: on each page of my site I link to other pages of the site, usually through images. It seems all of these images are still linked to the old directory (thomaskaufman.com/wordpress/image.jpg) and not the new directory (thomaskaufman.com/author/image.jpg) They didn’t change.
Is there a global fix for this? Or do I have to go thru every page and change each one individually?
thanks

In reply to: Make home page NOT the home pageSorry, i didn’t understand your last post. Who is “they?” What is it they are moving around? Do you mean the WP dashboard? Could you be more specific?
thanks

In reply to: Make home page NOT the home pageHmm, okay, i will try that, but first
I didn’t understand what you had said, and I thought you were telling me to create a new installation of wordpress into a new directory called “author,” so I did this. I logged onto my server, and installed WP for the second time, with a new directory.
So, I’m not sure what my next steps should be…
thanks

In reply to: Make home page NOT the home pageBut I want to save all my work — months of it! If i start a brand new installation, all of that will be lost, wouldn’t it?
“As this is a brand new installation it would probably be easiest to extract the WordPress zip file and just rename the /wordpress directory to /author.”
So, re-install WP on my server and call it author? I can do that, but I’m confused by this:
“Once that’s done, visit http://your-url-here/author/wp-admin/install.php and take it from there.”
thanks

In reply to: [Wordpress Connect] [Plugin: WordPress Connect] facepileHi, and happy 2012.
So, where were we? Oh right, I’m trying to get Facepile to work on my wordpress site. Can you help me? Sometime after jan 5th?
thanks
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Make home page NOT the home pageOkay, I’ve decided to rename my /wordpress directory and call it /author instead.
How should I do that? Create a new directory named author and copy all the files over, or rename the existing directory?
thanks

In reply to: Make home page NOT the home pageJan, thanks! I’m not sure how to do what you’re suggesting though. Wold there be step-by-step instructions anywhere? I’m a NewB at all of this.

In reply to: Make home page NOT the home pageI’ll take a look at this link.
i know i can name my WP directory anything I want.
Also, what about redirecting? http://css-tricks.com/how-to-redirect-indexhtml-to-indexphp/
Do you think that might work?
thanks

In reply to: Make home page NOT the home pageHi Hazelbug
So, I’ve got it working, but my problem is having “wordpress” as part of my url. I’d like to put the wordpress files and directories into my root directory, but I need my index.html file to direct users to the two different parts of the site, and I’m told that i can have only one index file in a directory.
So, I wonder if there’s a workaround?
For instance, I put all WP files and folders into the root, EXCEPT I keep the index.php file where it is now (not in the root).
Would that work?
thanks

In reply to: Make home page NOT the home pageHi,
Hazelbug, just wanted to let you know I got this to work! Thanks again for the help!
Two small things — it seems to take the server a long time to bring up the wordpress site — any way to cut that time?
Also, now my url reads http://thomaskaufman.com/wordpress/ Is there a way to get the “wordpress” out of the url?
thanks!

In reply to: Make home page NOT the home pageHi there
So, i went into Dreamweaver, and tried to put a link on my index.html site to the index.php file that resides in the wordpress subdirectory. No luck, just a 404 error.
What am I doing wrong?
thanks
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Make home page NOT the home pageThe dreamweaver side is a holdover, I’ll be converting it to WP soon as i can, it’s MUCH easier to work with.
So, let’s say I have a sub-folder off my root directory called ‘wordpress’, and the WP side of the site is contained there. What link would i use to on my index.html page to direct traffic to that part of the site? I see no index.html in the WP folder, but there is an index.php, does that become the home page? Should i link to it?
Many thanks for your help,
