In reply to: Upgrading Plugins automaticallyYes it’s host related.
I’ve upgraded to my own dedicated server now, and upgrades work fine automatically. Why is that, you ask? Well, we’ll never find out as “real help” simply isn’t available in this forum.
Thanks, WordPress!

In reply to: [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] doesn’t work at all?!Yes I’m hosted –
I’ve actually for several different packages, older ones and some newer ones. I’ve just signed up with a virtual server package so will migrate everything shortly – running PHP5 of course. Then I’m in charge of php.ini ;-0
Thanks for all your help!

In reply to: [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] doesn’t work at all?!My GD in the graphics library looks like it’s 1.1.3 – here’s the header:
* gd.thumbnail.inc.php
*
* @author Ian Selby (ian@gen-x-design.com)
* @copyright Copyright 2006-2008
* @version 1.1.3 (PHP4)
* @modded by Alex RabeWhat’s the code to change PHP Allow URL Open? I’m happy to try it. Are you running PHP4 as well? Because it works on my PHP5 server (which sadly isn’t the important one).

In reply to: [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] doesn’t work at all?!Also, I should mention that when Next Gen Gallery generates the thumbnails, it frequently comes up with this error message – on certain images only:
Warning: Division by zero in /vhost/vhost6/v/e/r/versluis.com/www/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/lib/gd.thumbnail.inc.php on line 760

In reply to: Rename wp-admin without renaming it (.htaccess rewrite)Here’s an excellent article that hides wp-admin using the rewrite engine:

In reply to: Upgrading Plugins automaticallyAny ideas?
Someone hinted it has to do with my host. If anybody can use the automatic upgrade features, could you let me know who your host is please?

In reply to: FTP Syntax to auto-update PluginsMy hosting provider is http://www.easyspace.com – like yourselves, emhr, I can connect fine via Filezilla and AceFTP.
I’ve just tried the WP Automatic Upgrade plugin, which also asks for my sevrer details, and it doesn’t work either.
kpdesign, I’ve tried your syntax exactly as you describe (leaving out the “www.” this time – no luck.

In reply to: Two Blogs on one site?Yes, but wouldn’t that mean two different SITES essentially?
I’m talking about having ONE site, ONE installation, and where say on the front page I’d have one blog, on another page I’d like another blog. Instead of a static page (of which I can add as many as I’d like), I was wondering if I can add another blog instead of a page.

In reply to: 2 wordpress sharing the same DB, one for members only (apache)You need to install WP again in the premium directory. These two installations have to be completely seperate entities to make this work.
Like gappiah says, both wp-config files need to be different (one containing the wp_ prefix, the other the premium_ or whatever prefix). You can’t just copy the files on your server to the new directory, you have to go through the 5 minute install again to make this work.

In reply to: Redirect Loop: Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting…I had this error message once, but it appeared on my Google start page. I understand you can surf the web and use Yahoo or Google fine, and this error message is unique to some of your blog sites?
I’m asking because in my case I had a nasty Spyware lurking in the background, which bypassed both SpySweeper as well as McAfee.
If this error message happens on sites that are unrelated to your WP installations as well, have a look for Spyware.
Have you tried logging in from other computers or browsers?

In reply to: YouTube video pageI’m afriad that’s the nature of HTML.
or <CR> is the only option I can think of.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WordPress feed into another siteThere are two options I know of:
1.) a free plugin called FeedWordpress – this will read Atom and RSS feeds and create new posts from feed entries. Available from the WP Plugins section
2.) a RSS to HTML converter like Antone Roundy’s CaRP. He offers a free “light” version on his website http://www.geckotribe.com. CaRP can display any RSS feed on any site using a very versatile PHP script. The paid-for version can even display YouTube videos and Amazon Affiflate Links. CaRP also comes with an optional WP Plugin to use it easily in your posts or on your pages.
The main advantage of CaRP over FeedWordpress is that you can use CaRP on static pages, and also as Widget in the sidebar. FeedWordpress can only be used to create new posts. It still works well as an aggregator. But if you’re looking for something like “currently on my other blogs”, then CaRP might be your best bet.

In reply to: How to have two blogs running in two folders?The easiest way to do this is to build a page in HTML, then upload it into your root directory. Call it index.html – that’s your UNDER CONSTRUCTION page.
You can even work on your WP installation in the same directory, as this one uses index.php (so http://www.example.com/index.php will show you the work in progress, whereas http://www.example.com will show you the “under construction” site.)
When you’re ready to go live, just rename the “index.html” to something different (say “!index.html”), and you’re live with WordPress.
Hope this helps!
