In reply to: word press and php problemsThere’s also Wampserver you can try:
Wamp has a nice menu driven box on the bottom right hand side of your screen, with which you can switch all services on and off.
But back to your original problem:
I don’t think it’s an OS issue, it just sounds like PHP (and therefore Xampp) just isn’t running.I forgot what the file is called, but it’s a .bat file like xampp_start.bat or somesuch.

In reply to: subscriber email notificationThe direct link for users to regitser is
http://yourdomain.com/wp-register.php
or, if WordPress does not live in your root directory, it’s
http://yourdomain.com/path-to-you-install/wp-register.php
Hope this helps 😉

In reply to: Hacked, re-installing won't fix?Same thoughts here as Roy said.
If you’re getting hacked on a regular basis, do change your password every 4 weeks or so. Don’t use anything you can remember, generate something with http://strongpasswordgenerator.com. Make sure both FTP and your WordPress Passwords get changed (preferrably to something different).
I had several sites hacked sue to an FTP exploit, and the hack kept coming back. Since I’ve changed the FTP passwords, the hackage has stopped.
I just had a look at your site and it looks OK so maybe all is well now.

In reply to: [Plugin: WP e-Commerce] WP 3.0 UpdateThe current stable version (3.7.6.5) is NOT comppatibel with WP 3.0 – all you get is the white screen of death when I activate it.

In reply to: My Site won’t come up My Admin Login won’t come upAh yes… if you rename the plugins folder you have to create an empty folder called plugins in wp-content. WordPress needs to see that, otherwise it’ll give an error.
Same goes for your themes folder. I recommend only renaming the theme your’re actually using so that the default theme can be called.

In reply to: Can you set your blog so it never shows the date posted?WordPress will always associate a date and time with each post internally. However, it’s up to the Theme to display this information.
If you hunt around in your index.php file for the time and date display functions you can easily comment them out.
PS: make a backup copy of your theme before you start doing this though… just in case.

In reply to: Posts and Pages Not FoundYou can indeed. Using phpMyAdmin, I’m check all your tables and start a repair. If any errors are hidden, this command will repair them.
Hope it’ll bring back your posts!

In reply to: Upgrading Plugins automaticallyNot sure how YOU can be offended by MY disappointment to previous posts not mentioned here, but I do apologise. I certainly didn’t mean to spoil your day.
Back to the issue at hand, I still don’t know what exactly needs changing with a host to make automatic upgrades possible, which was the reason for my post in the first place. All I now know is that a change from a shared hosting package to my own dedicated hosting with the same provider has provided a solution.
Thanks for your post, whoami, to an already resolved topic. Not trying to be a jerk, but it’s a shame you didn’t provide an “real help” here.

In reply to: WordPress v.2.7.1. already been hackedOuch!
I had a site hacked running WP 2.6.5 a while ago, but it hasn’t happened on 2.7.1 yet.
Can you remember if you’ve put all file permissions back to non-writable? That was the demise of my site back in the days.
BTW, I also have a domain that has “wordpress” in it – and I had no idea we’re not supposed to do this. Might be an idea to make this a more prominent message, if it’s so important to the makers of WordPress.

In reply to: Import media from blogger – No Content?First, let me say I share your pain – I hate it when people don’t answer to forum posts 😉
This looks like an easy one:
your friend has more than one blog with Blogger on the same account. The list you see is WordPress showing you all his blogs. Click on the IMPORT button next to the blog you want to import, and the process shall start.If you want to amalgamate all the four Blogger blogs into one WordPress Blog, you can do so by importing one blog after the other (i.e. in your case, import all four blogs).
Good luck!

In reply to: How do you change the links?Looking at your site, I think you need to update your wp-config.php file. Check if that’s set to the new database (including database name, user name, password and host).
Once you’ve done that, use phpMyAdmin to browse your database. Find the wp_options table and update your domain name and absolute server path.
That should do the trick.

In reply to: Permalink Settings – Default to other options not workingWell explained, buddha trance! I second that!
Also: .htaccess is a hidden file by default. If you can’t see it, make sure your FTP client displays hidden files.
If you have trouble uploading a blank .htaccess file, just call it anything.txt, upload it, change file permissions, then rename it to .htaccess
Good luck!

In reply to: Default RSS feed dead since upgrading to WordPress 2.7.1I have this problem with one of my sites too – I can’t get my feed to validate no matter what I do. Strangely, this isn’t theme dependant, I get it no matter which theme I select.
There are various feeds available, try them all and see if any of them validate:
/feed/
/feed/rss/
/feed/atom/There’s one more which I can’t remember.

In reply to: white screen!!This can happen if you’ve changed the first few lines in the CSS of the theme. If you changed the name of the theme for example, WordPress can’t find it anymore (as it’s now classed as a different theme). Try activating another theme, then go back to yours.
You can still edit the CSS by downlaoding your amended theme to your local machine, and then editing the style.css file, even if you can reach it anymore from within WordPress.
