In reply to: wp-content/plugins directory location@ Gangleri
Some hosts offer a service called cPanel, from which it is possible to install WordPress in about three clicks of a mouse, without needing to do any FTP’ing at all.Having said that, stylites if you want a WordPress system that is easier for you to use (no FTP’ing needed), you might be better off using the multi-user WordPress.com platform.
The trade-off is that you don’t have as much access to the code that controls your blog, and their Terms of Service is more restrictive when it comes to advertising and other things.

In reply to: My own theme, problems on firefoxNo, these errors I can’t fix them all, only if I go through post by post editing them
That’s what I was suggesting, I’m afraid. There seem to be errors in your HTML and these may be causing your problem; even if they’re not the cause, they are certainly making it more difficult to see what the real issue is.
btw, the postcontent is under a div layer and a table tag
From my own experience, I know that tables can be easy to get wrong. Check the code for the tables carefully and make sure you’ve got all your cells adding up to the right row widths, etc.
Other than that, I’m sorry but I can offer no more suggestions.

In reply to: blockquote style breaks after first paragraphLooking at your code, the
<blockquote>tags would seem to be in the right place; but if I copy and paste the whole section into the Code Editor, WordPress adds a</blockquote>tag at the end of the first paragraph. If I then delete that tag, it all sorts itself out and becomes one quote. When I publish it as a post, it formats in the way you’re trying to achieve.Try opening the post in your Code Editor and see if you’ve got any extra
</blockquote>tags; if you have, delete them.In addition to that, you seem to have lots of double
<p>tags, which may not be helping – there seems to be more code than is really required.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: My own theme, problems on firefoxThe W3C validator is still reporting a number of errors, including some tags where you have things like
<p><center>tags. As far as I understand HTML, these need to be<p align="center">to work properly.I don’t know how much of your display problems fixing those will cure, but you need to fix as many of the errors as possible. Ones like this will be in your posts, not in the template of your site, so you just need to run the validator, see what the errors are and go through your site until they’re all fixed.
It may be a long process, but code that validates properly is worth the effort, as it will give your blog the best chance to be be seen as intended regardless of which browser your reader is using.

In reply to: My own theme, problems on firefoxLooking at the W3C Validator, it looks like you’ve deleted all the declarations from the header of the template (where character sets, etc are defined so that browsers know what they are dealing with). There are also a number of other errors that are causing the site to display improperly.
If you have the original header file available, re-add all of the declaration statements and then work through the other errors one-by-one. That should fix the problem (or at least make it easier for you to spot other things that may be causing the issue).
Additional: IE is a much more ‘forgiving’ broswer than Firefox, Opera, etc, because it is not as strictly standards compliant as the others. This why it will still properly display poorly written websites, when the other browsers won’t.

In reply to: Why does my blog require a password?Glad to be of help. Happy blogging!

In reply to: Why does my blog require a password?Actually, I’ve just taken a look at your page’s source code and all the image links start “http://stevenkilzer.com:2082/..”. The “:2082” after the .com is a reference to your cPanel, so this is why you’re getting the prompt to input a username and password.
You need to check these links and make sure you’re linking to where the images are on your server (eg “http://stevenkilzer.com/images/…”, not to a viewer, which is what you seem to be doing now.

In reply to: Why does my blog require a password?When I click on the link you’ve provided, I get asked for the username and password. If I click “Cancel” I get asked four more times (I click “Cancel” each time) and then the page displays – but without any images.
I see some image placeholders in your Austria post while I’m going through the “Cancel” process, so it make me wonder if those images are stored on a password-protected part of the server where your website is hosted.
If, like me, you’ve installed the WordPress software from the Fantastico link in your cPanel – a few clicks and it’s done – then there shouldn’t be a problem with that.
Check the links to the images, or try removing them temporarily and see if that solves the problem.

OK, I tried turning on the options that you referred to (they were turned off by default) and understand the difference.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Allow anyone to commentSorry, but I did look in my admin panel before I posted and, to me, that would seem to me to be the right answer. Can you tell me how your solution and mine differ so that I have a better understanding?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Allow anyone to commentI think all you need to do is go to your Dashboard, and then go to Options > Discussion > Comments and unclick all the options that restrict who can comment (under the “Before a comment appears” heading).
