In reply to: My Entire Blog is Gone after activating a theme–HELPYou can try changing back to your other theme via your database.
Be careful with your database though. First you MUST back it up before you do anything else.
How to back it up:
http://codex.wordpress.org/Backing_Up_Your_DatabaseYou can watch a video how to do it right here: How to back it up video
From there, you can then get into your wp_options table and change your theme from there.
If you’re not sure what theme to use, log into your web hosting account, go to your File Manager, navigate to your /wp-content/themes directory and pick one of the themes listed there other than the broken one.
Not sure if that will fix you up, but at least you can move back to another theme.
Good luck.

In reply to: Admin panel not workingCould be a plugin. Try disabling your plugins and see if your widgets come back.

In reply to: Moving WordPress FolderBefore moving to a different folder, make sure you log into your Dashboard and head over to the settings area and click into the General section.
Where it says: WordPress address (URL), make sure to tell it the new folder you plan to put WordPress into.

In reply to: Bounce rate went up 20 x since new theme…?A 3% bounce rate is definitely … well, pretty much impossible unless the people on your site are your employees or something.
A 60-70% bounce rate isn’t all that bad. If we can achieve 50% we’re doing pretty darn good.
Like alism said, I’d be wondering if your previous bounce rate was the one that was skewed.

In reply to: How to change font etc.alchymyth is right. After you click “Editor”, look on the right and you should see a list of files.
Click the one named sytles.css and then look for that code.

In reply to: PICTURE INSERTI assume you’re talking about how to insert a picture into your blog post or page?
When you create a new post or page, there’s a toolbar just above the editor where you type in your blog post’s content.
The one on the left (and looks like a box) is the image upload button.

In reply to: Articoli che spariscono/items disappearNever heard of that one. It is entirely possible that your site has been hacked.
Try installing the Blue Trait Event Viewer (BTEV) and the WordPress File Monitor plugins to see if you can track down where changes might be coming from.

In reply to: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long Error after 2.9 upgrade?Ok, found the problem.
So anyone using the WooThemes “Fresh News” theme and running their admin area under SSL (you are, aren’t you?), you’ll receive an error pop up box like the one in the link above.
The problem is the little WooThemes favicon that is being called in your Dashboard’s WooThemes area sidebar.
The favicon gets called (I suppose because of WP 2.9) via https and the favicon can only be called by http.
To disable it, I simple went to wp-content/themes/freshnews/functions/admin-interface.php and removed the links to favicon.ico (there are two).
Once that’s done, my WordPress admin life returned to normal!

In reply to: ssl_error_rx_record_too_long Error after 2.9 upgrade?Looks like the problem is with the theme because when I change themes the error box goes away.
Though it’s a long shot, any ideas from the WP Support Forums?

In reply to: Probably simple questions from a newcomer1. Log into WordPress and go to your sidebar on the left. Click Appearance | Editor
Once that page loads, on the right you’ll see a list of files. Click on the page.php file.
In that file, look somewhere near the top for the values
<h1>and</h1>and change the h1 to h2 values.That should fix your problem. You may need to do this for the single.php file as well (the page.php is for pages you create, single.php is for your posts).
2. You could probably set up an automatic forwarding system with your email, apart from WordPress. To do it through WP, you’d need a plugin, like the Subscribe2 plugin. I believe you can go into the plugin’s settings and manually add email addresses for notifications.
3. You can find that info in the footer.php file (get to it the same way you did in #1). You should see that code in there somewhere, just delete the words.
I want to stress that before you edit any of your files, first always back them up. Copy and paste all the file’s code into a Word processor. If things go wrong, you can always past it back and save the file.

In reply to: New site; can’t move images to siteLog into your WordPress Dashboard and check your Settings | Miscellaneous area.
The default location the images should be uploaded to is:
wp-content/uploads
If it’s something other than that, try changing it to that. If it doesn’t work, change it back to the way it was.
