In reply to: Changing URL DifficultiesWhen you say “add the domain to your hosting account”, what do you mean? Godaddy has a “domain management” tool that I’ve used that has the option to add a domain, which I did, and point it to a subfolder. Are you saying that removing the URL forward will cause this option to not work?
I’m not physically moving the wordpress install, if I can help it, so what part of that guide should I use?

In reply to: Trying to change website URL…Hasn’t worked for me. Believe me, I’ve visited that page many times. The first post details the many mysql queries I have tried with no success.

In reply to: Trying to change website URL…Does anyone at least know any name for what I am trying to do so that I can google search more acurately?
Essentially, I have this URL that has been purchased and I want it to point to my subdirectory and I want the internal links to point to this new URL.
So, if the old URL was variedcelluloid.net/vcinemashow/page?=1.php (or whatever), I want the new URL to read: vcinemashow.com/page?=1.php
It’s beginning to feel rather impossible at this point, but maybe if I at least had something new to search I could come up with some different ideas.
I’ve read up on mod_rewrite but I don’t think that holds the key for what I want. I’ve tried changing the database a billion times and changing siteurl/home doesn’t do it.
I’d still like to know more about cnames and such, but I’m not sure if that holds the secret and if it does I’d like to at least know of a good tutorial to look into.
Once again, any help is appreciated.

In reply to: Trying to change website URL…Okay, so I finally got around to trying this and still no luck. Here’s what I did:
Within my own Godaddy webhosting account, I went to the Domain Management section. Within there I changed the vcinemashow.com domain section to point to a folder that did not exist at the time, called “vcinemashow”. Well, Domain Management then created the subfolder for me.
Then, I got the login information for my friends domain account on godaddy and I pointed it to variedcelluloid.net/vcinemashow
I then uploaded a new copy of wordpress and created a new database for a fresh WP install.
I logged in via the vcinemashow.com/wp-admin URL and ran through the install.
Now, I’m stuck in the exact same position. Every link still reads as variedcelluloid.net/vcinemashow
SO, did I do anything wrong? And is there anything I can do to use this other URL and have it point to my webhost?

In reply to: Trying to change website URL…Oh and with the fresh install, would I be able to import my old posts? I imagine that would be no conflict with that, would there?
Thanks for all of your help, BTW, it is much appreciated!

In reply to: Trying to change website URL…Hmm, as far as adding the “vcinemashow.com” domain as an add-on, who would handle that? I have access to the hosting account as well as my own variedcelluloid URL but my friend has access to the vcinemashow.com URL information.
We added that URL a couple of months back and my memory is a bit fuzzy on who handled what. I do know that in my godaddy hosting account I have a domain manager where I added “vcinemashow.com” and it apparently points to the “vcinema” directory. If I were to create another entry here that pointed the “vcinemashow.com” domain to another folder called “/vcinemashow” – would that do the trick and create the folder?

In reply to: Trying to change website URL…Ahh, so do you know of any way for me to remedy this? Would backing up wordpress and then re-installing/importing the site do anything or would it just keep all of that previous information?

In reply to: Trying to change website URL…I did create the directory prior to adding on the secondary domain, yes.
I don’t see anything listed under CNAME for this new URL actually. Will adding a CNAME provide trailing links with the new URL?
As you can see http://www.vcinemashow.com (the new URL) already points to the correct section of my host, but when you copy links or check images it leads to the URL based off of my website: http://www.variedcelluloid.net/vcinema
The CNAME options have me a little confused to be honest. For Alias Name I would simply add “www” and for Points to Host Name I would just add: “www.vcinemashow.com”? Is that how it works?
The site is hosted at godaddy as well, BTW.
Thank you so much iridiax! You are a hero! Issue now resolved, and just that easy!

In reply to: [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Any Way to Center Gallery Thumbs?“You cannot center three images if you use float…”
Hi Alex, sorry to be a pest, but is there any alternative to using float? Would this require delving into the PHP and such? I’m a beginner with much of this, so this may be a stupid question. Like asking a mechanic “So it’ll work if I just put a new engine in it right? How do I do that?” or something.

In reply to: [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Any Way to Center Gallery Thumbs?Hey guys, yeah sorry about the late reply – but splitting the gallery is pretty simple. It’s under Gallery >> Options >> Gallery. On the “Number of images per page:” box you just select the number of graphics you want on the page at once and it will split them up that way. I usually have 8 images per review, so I split it by 4 and it makes two even pages (well, in some browsers and at some resolutions… argh!).
Here’s a screencap to show you where the option is exactly:

It’s working for me as a temporary solution – but like you all I’m hoping for someone who might have a better trick that will solve my problem.

In reply to: [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Centering GalleriesBeen looking for some help myself. I really wish for something like a basic ‘< center >’ command, that way if my gallery wraps around on a different line because someone has a smaller resolution than I use the two colums won’t be uneven. That way if you have four images, and after the third one there’s no more room to fit it on the same line it would just drop down a new line and center underneath the second of the three in the center of the page. My knowledge of CSS/PHP is so limited however, even if there is a simply fix I’m about as clueless as a bear in algebra class.
Unfortunately the only thing I’ve been able to do is play with the ‘Width: ;’ under ‘.ngg-galleryoverview’ within the stylesheet – I set it to about %70 of the table or so until it evens out about right. However, since my layout uses the entire page and auto adjusts whenever the screen expands horizontally, I run into the same problem that once I change resolutions things look drastically different. This also only changes the thumnail box itself, and doesn’t center any of the thumbnails inside of it. So, at 800×600 I have three images side by side, and then my fourth drops a line and hangs all the way to the left instead of centering within the page.
I wish I knew of some simple command to throw in ‘ngg-gallery-thumbnail-box’ that would float the images from left to right but also center the entire box and all of it’s contents to complete center of the table it is in. My question/page is located here if all of my 2am rambling are as incoherent as I suppose they probably are! However, if you haven’t played with that width adjustment, give it a shot I suppose. Hopefully you’ll get an answer to your question, even if it’s a “No, there is no centering!” it’ll at least be an answer haha!

In reply to: [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Any Way to Center Gallery Thumbs?I’ll give this one last bump. I’ve split my thumbnail-gallery into two pages for now, hope it’s not going to be my permanent fix but it might have to be.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Any Way to Center Gallery Thumbs?Still trying and trying. I’m just wrapping my head around the whole float command, and have went over the stylesheet trying to hopefully find anything I can adjust that corresponds with the items within the float command. I’m wanting the thumbnails to center, not the gallery-box itself. I’ve tried ‘margin-left: auto;’ & ‘margin-right: auto;’ on pretty much everything under the “Gallery Style” section to no avail. As well as playing with padding commands, ‘text-align: center;’ and just about anything else I can find to try. I’m starting to wonder if what I’m looking for is outside the stylesheet, and if it is, where and what? Not sure, I’ll just keep trying I suppose.
