Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WP DB Connection Error – Site DownIf you did nothing on your end (no version upgrade, no changes of any sort, no plugins, etc.) then the only possible things are:
1. An attack by an outside force (maybe unlikely, since your host SURELY should have noticed were that the case)
2. Your host made some change to a backend program: apache, php, mysql
Get your host back on the phone and ask if they “upgraded” something backend. There was a recent deployment of php 4.4.5 which turned into a can of worms for instance; and some hosts are just now upgrading from apache 1.3+ to apache 2.
And who IS your host?

In reply to: Any plug-in for DB backup?Easiest thing to do is simply use phpMyAdmin (presumably your host provides this) to do a database dump (backup) every once in a while. You can usually set up a cron (presumably your host provides this) to manage this on a daily, twice-weekly, weekly basis, whatever works for you.

In reply to: No “previous entries” or “next page” link available?“self-imposed 15 post threshold”? What’s that when it’s at home?
As to your navigation problem, it’s most likely a theme issue – unless you’re using 2.1 and something changed with nav in it…. (which I don’t know, I don’t use it).

Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: “Island After Sunset” theme will no load in Internet ExplorerWell, I don’t use IE period. But the first thing I would do if this were me would be to comment out the themeswitcher stuff and see if JUST that theme loads properly in IE. If not, then you know it’s JUST that theme, not something in the themeswitcher itself. If the theme loads fine, then it’s probably something in the themeswitcher (most likely in combination with another or some others of your active plugins).
Then you can go merrily about an infinity of time of troubleshooting for the world’s most broken browser…. starting with disabling all plugins, to see if the theme works at a baseline “vanilla” point. If not, then something in the theme itself is likely the culprit.
If the theme loads fine at baseline, add your plugins back one at a time until the theme breaks again – and that plugin’s the problem.
Good luck.

In reply to: plugin for full justify?If you always want posts justified, change the relevant element in the css – no need for a plugin.

In reply to: Can I edit “Blog Roll” text to something else?You need to change the Link category instead of the Category (for posts) – I think (unless this changed in 2.1 and that’s the version you’re using….)
Go to Links, select Categories, then click Edit in the table row for Blogroll.

In reply to: My New Blog: ForgetTheBull.comWell, I like the “look” but I never find that horizontal sort of layout very usable. Meaning your theme, obviously…. but in any case, it’s certainly better than kubrick!

In reply to: Content sensible ad scripts?Wow. That would be VERY cool…. um. Never run across anything like that, I guess you could maybe talk to google? I’m not necessarily joking there – but you’d want to be sure YOU got credit/payment for the idea….
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Migrating a WP installationHaven’t ever done this myself (in re the addon domain situation), but a database dump/backup from such a domain is no doubt virtually the same as any other db dump – kinda like “all cats are grey in the dark”, y’know? It’s just an sql file….
So you set up the domain right, and put your wp files where you really want them, create a database and import the dump. You might not even have to screw with dumping and creating/importing new; that would be a per-host thing – where I’m hosted, all I’d need to do would be use the same config.php info and the new install would find the db just fine without any messing with it. You’d want to get the info on that from your host though.

In reply to: What to do about sploggers?Only way I would think might work would be using something like http://www.arin.net/whois/ or http://www.domaintools.com/ to see if you can get at least an IP with an abuse email you can contact.
