In reply to: Can I Disable the ‘Dashboard’ for Subscribers?Another option is to hack the dashboard page and make it show something else than the default dashboard. I’ve used that page to give instructions about how to post entries. 🙂

In reply to: developing in test environmentFWIW, I run a MS based LAN at home, with IIS, and have XAMPP on a local machine there. They play nice together, with just a little TLC. I can even access sites on the machine running XAMPP from other machines.

In reply to: Question please.I meant, there are a lot of people discussing problems with Bluehost on THIS site. It looks like it might be some of Bluehost’s settings that are buggering the process, nothing at all to do with your plugins. Note, I am just saying that from cursory review of posts mentionning bluehost, I’m not a customer, have never been one, and have no interest in dissing them.

In reply to: developing in test environmentGoogle “Xampp” from Apache Friends. Then do a site search here for XAMPP, there’s tons of information on that, how to install, how to use.
You’ll have to download WP and install it locally, wordpress.com won’t help with working locally.
Once you discover the power of xampp, you quickly get addicted 😉

In reply to: Question please.it may not be a wysiwyg editor issue at all… have you done a search on “bluehost”? I think you may get some interesting answers by looking that up…

In reply to: Saving a post brings up a save post.php as a file dialogue?Several hours later, still no problem, it must have been that cPanel update…
Cheers and thanks for trying to figure it out with me.

In reply to: Saving a post brings up a save post.php as a file dialogue?Handy, same behaviour.
In doing more investigations, it appears it may have been a forced update to PHP because of cPanel’s security updates that played with php sessions and other settings, without the host’s knowledge. At least, that’s the latest thinking. It appears that I’m back on deck, able to save posts properly. I’ll do some investigation and come back to update and “resolve” the post.
Cheers

In reply to: Saving a post brings up a save post.php as a file dialogue?krugern, no, I’m not using ctrl+s, I’m clicking on “Save”.
To make things more interesting, I’ve now noticed that this happens only when I go from “draft” to “published” states when saving…
whooami, perhaps that shows that I don’t ask questions that have already been answered because I use the search function? LOL

In reply to: Visit my website if you’re bored @ http://www.ekarj.comA bit too simple for me. I like simplicity, don’t get me wrong, but this seems to lack pizzaz.
You might also want to fix the 60 or so validation errors on each page 😉

In reply to: How to upload everything to a local server?Don’t worry about wordpress. Delete all wordpress files from wherever you put them at this point.
First, make sure you have apache and mysql working on your computer. You will NOT be able to install wordpress (or any other CMS) on your computer until and unless you have that working right.
This forum is probably not the best forum to ask about getting Apache/MySQL working. What I *can* tell you is that from what you say, it sounds like you got MySQL working, but you don’t have Apache working. More than that, I can’t tell you.
As I already suggested, were I you, I would remove MySQL and FileZilla entirely, and use XAMPP instead. It will make your life MUCH easier. You may read more about this.

In reply to: How to upload everything to a local server?By local server, do you mean on your own computer?
If so, I think you need to read up on running apache/mysql on your own computer.
A good utility is XAMPP, but if you’ve already manually installed mysql/filezilla, you may run into conflicts.
Once you have apache, and mysql running properly on your machine, you shouldn’t have to use filezilla, just put the files in your /root directory. That is, whichever folder you have defined in apache as being the root directory of your site. If you are using a default xampp install, it’ll likely be in C:\Program Files\xampp\htdocs.

In reply to: Photo upload not working on IE mobile edition?After enough research, it turns out it’s Pocket IE that is the culprit. Explorer strikes again! Pre WM5 versions of IE simply do not allow the “browse/upload” function. Of course, to upgrade IE, you have to upgrade the OS, which is ROM resident, and unless your ROM chip will handle the extra resource requirement from WM5, yer SOL.
I’ll see about loading Minimo, but again, there’s a problem of space 🙁Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How to change absolute path to relative pathHmmm, just for clarification, doodlebee, what you’re talking about is using a parked domain. subdomains are always part of the domain (hence the sub). in the format: subdomain.domain.com.
Even if links don’t show the domain, technically, as a subdomain, anyone can work backwards, so if you have a subdomain such as cook.becanz.net (an old site that now point somewhere else), someone could easily work out becanz.net. So to hide becanz.net, the only way to do it is what doodlebee describes, using a parked domain name.
Not trying to be pedantic here, but I feel it’s important to make the difference and call things by their names 🙂
