Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How do I add new pages?Well, that’s been the procedure for creating pages in all the two plus years I’ve been using wp. It’s not an html thing. (Only way it could be an html thing would be if you were doing a “normal” static html site, and wp is DECIDEDLY not that – and in a normally set up wp install, you can’t use html pages except to link out to them).
Now, your version is shown at the bottom of all the screens in the wp-admin section. If you’re using anything under 2.0.9 or 2.1.2 (depending on base version), the FIRST THING you need to do is upgrade. You download either of those latest versions from the download link at the top of the forum index page here.

In reply to: Error establishing a database connection (goDaddy)Try calling them again and insisting the initial “tech” pass you along immediately to a second-tier tech.
The only possible thing is that you’ve entered something in the config.php file that’s not right. And the only real way to determine what that is is to get the right info from your tech support. If they aren’t capable of doing that, then you might like to consider a better host.
[Here’s a new link to a tutorial for setting up on godaddy.]

In reply to: What is premium about ‘premium’ themes?I’d assume that pay-for themes are in general the theme author’s less-generic art, for instance; some of them might have some added-in functionality, but most that I’ve looked at are simply the same files and functions as in free themes.
Some theme authors charge because they’re starting their themes from scratch with more “custom” looks. And some theme authors charge because they feel if people can’t do themes themselves, then they should be willing to pay those who CAN do them….

In reply to: Newly installed – text overflow menuInstead of deleting and rewriting posts, might be able to cut them, paste into notepad+ or notepad2, then cut and paste back – sometimes that’ll remove the “objectionable” formatting….

In reply to: Military army themeHi pezastic –
Ah, I see! I was a bit confused, not unusual for me of course. Yes, that would make one wonder, if there was something that was more “elastic” about it that didn’t show in the screenie….

In reply to: Error establishing a database connection (goDaddy)Suggest a search for godaddy database here. There may be as many as 200 topics regarding this problem in the last couple of years. There will be info in some of them about what to do to fix it….
It’s btw NOT a wp problem – it’s something to do with the way godaddy sets up the database name (I think, from what little I remember about a few of those threads – I don’t use them at all….)

In reply to: Floating part time with images, and textMany themes come with the classes “alignleft” and “alignright” already set in the css. When you want to wrap text around graphics in a post, you simply use the appropriate class within the post to move the img link where you want it.
If your css doesn’t have those classes natively, add them:
.alignright { float:right; } .alignleft { float:left; }Try that, let us know how it goes (and in general, you shouldn’t need to use “clear” anywhere for that….)

In reply to: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRINGYah…. usually when I get that, I undo whatever changes I just made to whichever files, and start over.

In reply to: Help! Crazy database errorErrno 13 is something to do with your database on the server – generally your host needs to handle this. Try a search on google for more specifics; can’t remember exactly what it means in more detail.

In reply to: Strange chars before <HTML> and after </HTML>There’s some other threads here about similar stuff, see if you can get search to work for you, look for “strange numbers” or some such…. Oh wait, I posted in one of them let me look in profile to see if I can find it. I’ll post back in a bit.
Here’s that one:

Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: best practice installI read your other post…. I’ve never had any problem like that.
Right now, I have 35+ (my own and clients) wp 2.0.9 installs on one shared server reseller space. Each of those has been set up from the same 2.0.9 download. Each of them has its own uname=admin/individual pw email sent to me during the setup process. I can access each of them from my browser with saved info without the problem you’re having.
I don’t know…. only thing would be if maybe you overwrote a saved uname/pw or something….
Though if you’re trying to use the same database, you do have to be VERY careful about prefixes.
