In reply to: “Please try again”, failure to install .zip themeYou may have to unzip the theme, then upload it to the wp-content/themes folder.
I would also try to redownload the theme from themeforest.
Contact the developer here: http://themeforest.net/user/Webtreats – scroll to the bottom and to the right there is an email form.

In reply to: SubDomain and ArticlesThere is a plugin! The global translator plugin (link) translates your blog over time automatically, using the same format that you are looking for. This does everything automatically, so there’s no need to set up another wordpress site and export/import everything.
It also puts a handy “translation” box where ever you want on your site so that users can select a different language at any time.
It takes some time to translate everything, but I think its your best solution. Let me know if it works!

In reply to: Categories not working!!! PLEASE HELPVery odd! I just checked out the site and it doesn’t make sense whats going on.
I would modify your permalinks. Go to the admin – settings – permalinks and change it to something different, such as the date or custom using this:
%category/%postname%
See what happens and let us know!

In reply to: Any plugins to ban misbehaving users?I’d take a look at User locker. Gives you the ability to ban. I’d to a few more google seraches before crowdsourcing this though.

In reply to: Adding categories to the navigation helpI think you need to look at wp_list_catagories. You can read how to set your preferences and more on that page.
A quick fix would be the following:
<ul class="art-menu"> <?php wp_list_categories(); ?> </ul>That will list your categories. Then, using creative CSS (display:inline) you can line them up and style them just like your regular navigation.
Hope that helps!

In reply to: Rewrite blog post and category URLsVisit Settings – Permalinks and I believe the Custom structure /%category%/%postname% will do the trick.
That way the category, “recipes” and post “30-minute-meals” will look like this:

In reply to: Megadropdown Sub-Menu works locally, but not on remote serverMy first step in any Jquery related issue is to see if jquery is activating. Try entering
alert('Jquery Lives!');` just after your function in the header. If you get the “popup” alert, at least you know jquery is properly loading.Also, are you inserting Jquery directly into your header.php or using wp_enqueue_script in your themes functions.php? The latter is the best way, in my opinion, to safely implement jquery. You can find out more here: wp_enqueue_script
Try all that, and comment back and let us know if it worked or not!

In reply to: Text Box TroubleTab is usually reserved for filling out forms, so I’m assuming when you hit it its switching from one form field to another? I don’t indent personally, but if you would like, I’m sure it would be 100 times easier if you used CSS to apply padding-left:10px to the first line.
Unfortunately the WP Visual Editor and HTML editor sometimes do not play nice. This isn’t an error that can be fixed by uninstalling/reinstalling.
When you switch from the visual to HTML, do you have any “styling” in place? Try bolding something, as an example, and switching to the HTML editor. You should see

In reply to: Getting error message and can’t login to adminI’m not sure if this is your fault or not, but when I visit the link it takes me to a popup that asks if I’d like to install some sort of Spyware infested “Antivirus” software.
Is this a spam comment or did your server get hacked?

In reply to: Can’t modify plugins settings and scriptsYou may be running into a “permissions” problem, where wordpress cannot write to the server files you are requesting. Be default, I believe the Folders are set to 755 and the files are set to 644. Try check out what your file permissions are.

In reply to: Moving from wp.com to wp.org-what happens to stats?I’ve switched hosts and had to re-enter my API, and it always flashes up a scary note that says “Hey, are you adding a new blog to your wordpress.com account?”. I believe the best option is to say “No, this is the same blog” so the stats will continue on.
