In reply to: Migratin Domain to SubdomainIf you have access to your phpMyAdmin, go there and export your database.
Open your database with a notepad. Use search and replace and ask it to search for http://www.yoursite.com and replace it with http://www.yoursite.com/blog (of course, “yoursite.com” is an example, replace it with your real domain). Save it.
Go back to phpMyAdmin. Select all tables and delete them. Import the edited database.
Get sure you move all your blog files on your server to the new path as well (/blog/).
From now on your blog will be on that folder, and you can use your root to create which ever else you want.
Cheers

In reply to: Old URL to NewPS.: if you are gonna keep both sites/blogs, add the .htaccess rules into the root of your old site/blog. If you are gonna run just the new site/blog, add it to its root (but get sure you add the old domain to your new site host configuration as well, and point its DNS to there — if you dont know how to do it, ask help from your host and they’ll do it for you).

In reply to: Old URL to NewYes,
If you have access to your phpMyAdmin, go there and export your database.
Open your database with a notepad. Use search and replace and ask it to search for http://www.youroldsite.com and replace it for http://www.yournewsite.com . Save it. Import it on the new site phpMyAdmin

In reply to: Old URL to NewAdd this into the .htaccess file in your site root:
RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^www.YourOldSite.com$ [OR] RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^YourOldSite.com$ RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://YourNewSite.com/$ [R=301,L]Course, replace YourOldSite and YourNewSite with your old/new website url… And you have to keep both domains at least for a while, till the new URL spreads and the old one gets forgotten…
Those who try to reach your old url will be redirected to your new one…

In reply to: How can i post a header link on a modified theme?Get the last part:
<div id="header"> <h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1> <p><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></p> </div>Replace
<h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1> <p><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></p>for a transparent image image with a link (if that’s what you want), like:
<div id="header"> <a href="xxxxxxxxx"> <img src="images/transparent.gif" width="800" height="100"></a> </div>Create a transparent image and write its path in “src=….”. Adjust its dimensions according to the size of the area you want to be clickable. Add the URL you want in href=”xxxxxxxxx”.
========
Just notice that by doing this you’ll be removing your blog title and subtitle (the part which isn’t appearing right now anyways), so maybe you prefer to quote the code, instead of removing it:
<!-- <h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1> <p><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></p> -->The arrows will disable that piece of code. The day you want to use it again, just remove the quoting arrows.

In reply to: How can i post a header link on a modified theme?Ah, k, I think I get what u mean.
This part of the code isnt appearing:
<div id=”header”>
<h1>“><?php bloginfo(‘name’);?></h1>
<p><?php bloginfo(‘description’); ?></p>
</div>But it comes written on your html:
<div id=”header”>
<h1>The Owler</h1>
<p>Life, Music and Owls.</p>
</div>So it’s there, it just isnt visible. Looks like there’s something misconfigured on your style.css file.

In reply to: How can i post a header link on a modified theme?Your “home” button is already there, at the left top, and it works. So I also don’t get what you mean.
If maybe you mean you want that image to be a link, yes it can be set. But, on a quick look, it seems it’s used as background. So it’s not as simple as if it was an image inserted into the header. Anyways, you can add a transparent image over it, and use it to link to wherever u feel like.

In reply to: How do I add a “featured post” tab with thumbnails?Also, check out this site:
http://gopi.coolpage.biz/demo/
That guy has a bunch of plugins for similar things, rolling texts, banners etc. Maybe one of them can please you.

In reply to: How do I add a “featured post” tab with thumbnails?You can use the plugin above the way you want: on your header, right sidebar, left sidebar, footer, on a page etc. It can be big, medium, small. You just need to set it up. It’s very customizable.

In reply to: Contact form 7 only sends from “wordpress”On the “mail” box, the “from” field can be missing the correspondent tag. Check it to see if it looks like this:
[your-name] <[your-email]>If
[your-name]isn’t there, or other equivalent value, the message will show up as coming from WordPress.Also, make the name tag mandatory in the form field, by adding a star:
[text* your-name]——–
If you want just the e-mail from the sender to appear, set the “from” field like this:
[your-email] <[your-email]>cheers

In reply to: How do I add a “featured post” tab with thumbnails?If you have access to your php.ini file, try enabling Fopen. Find the respective line and set it to be “on”:
allow_url_fopen = OnAnd add this line below it:
allow_url_include = 1————-
If you don’t have access to that file, try inserting this onto the .htaccess file on your website root:
php_value allow_url_fopen on php_value allow_url_include 1if it doesnt work, probably your host does not allow u to set this parameters through htaccess
————-
Anyways, I wonder why a theme whould require Fopen to be enabled. You should try to get some help from the developer, probly he/she is the best one to guide you here.

In reply to: Shadowbox not working in themeSeems your site isnt loading the image player. You should have a script like this somewhere before </body>, but you dont. There’s probably something misconfigured.
<script type="text/javascript"> var shadowbox_conf = { adapter: "base", language: "en", players: ["html","iframe","img"], animate: true, animateFade: true, animSequence: "sync", autoDimensions: false, modal: false, showOverlay: true, overlayColor: "#000", overlayOpacity: 0.8, flashBgColor: "#000000", autoplayMovies: true, showMovieControls: true, slideshowDelay: 0, resizeDuration: 0.35, fadeDuration: 0.35, displayNav: true, continuous: false, displayCounter: true, counterType: "default", counterLimit: 10, viewportPadding: 20, handleOversize: "resize", handleUnsupported: "link", initialHeight: 160, initialWidth: 320, enableKeys: true, skipSetup: false, flashParams: {bgcolor:"#000000", allowFullScreen:true}, flashVars: {}, flashVersion: "9.0.0", useSizzle: false }; Shadowbox.init(shadowbox_conf); </script>Verify Shadowbox options, try these settings:
Javascript Library: none
Enable Smart Loading: false
Players: (check ’em all – or at least get sure “img” is checked)Shadowbox Automation
Image Links: true
