In reply to: Forgot to disable plugins! Please Help!I assume you don’t have a backup? Obviously this is where you’d ideally start, by restoring a backup.
I just tried visiting your site but it’s in maintenance mode so I can’t really see anything.

In reply to: How to move my site to a different domain name but with same serverThe only problem with doing it that way though is that your database is still going to reference wrong links, they’ll just be redirected.
The way I’d do it is like this:
1. “Copy” all my files over from domain2 to domain1
2. Download/Export your database the domain2 WordPress was using. Once downloaded, first create a backup of it and then open it up with a word processor program like WordPad and do a find and replace all your domain2 links.
So for example, do a find for domain2 in your database and replace it with domain1.
3. Save the file.
4. Log back into your database and drop all the tables (make sure you have that backup on your computer of the original database).
5. Import in the newly edited database.
6. Test it out by going to your domain1 website.

In reply to: How to edit my header in Arthemia Theme?Try replacing the http_public with public_html. So put your image in:
public_html/wp-content/themes/arthemia/images/logo.png
I just checked out your site, looks like you got it. To remove the “Just another WordPress Weblog”, log into WordPress, go to Settings, click on General and remove your tagline.

In reply to: No more pop-up! (2.8.4)You do have backups, right?
Reinstall your backup copy of your hosting files.
Then, sorry to say it, reinstall WordPress but this time, before you install WP, deactivate all your plugins and switch your theme back to the default Kubric theme. This puts WP back in its default state.
Now do the new install / upgrade.
See if your things all work. If so, activate your theme and reactivate your plugins. It might be a good idea to reactivate them one by one.
I know it’s not what you want to hear, but it’s what you need to do (unless someone else chimes in with a fix I don’t know about).
If you don’t have a backup copy, try contacting your web host and see if they can do a restore from the previous day when things were working.

In reply to: Weird Text in some output1. The weird symbols:
Try logging into your hosting account and open up the wp-config.php file. Change the encoding from utf8 to latin1
If the encoding in the config file is already set to latin1, then change
it to utf8This will probably fix it…but not always.
2. You really need to upgrade from 2.6.1 to the latest version of WP. Right now your site is not secured from viruses.
The first thing you must do is backup everything. Backup all your hosting files and backup your database.
Don’t forget to do this. If you don’t, you’ve been warned! If you don’t know how, let us know and we can guide you to places you can learn.
To upgrade, here are the links you’ll want to use:

In reply to: How to edit my header in Arthemia Theme?First thing you need to do. Back everything up. Trust me, I’ve been around the block for awhile, stop everything you’re doing and back it all up. Backup your WordPress files on your hosting account and backup your database.
You can use the database plugins: WP db Backup. [spam ink removed]
Next you’ll want to backup all the files on your hosting account. You can simply download them through FTP to your computer or if you know how to zip things up on your web server, just zip them up into a file for safe keeping.Now that everything is backed up, I noticed on Arthemia the logo is of type .png, not .jpeg. So if you can convert your .jpeg to a .png file, that would be helpful. If you like, you can link to your image here and I can convert it for you (or perhaps someone else who gets here faster).
Next take that logo.png file and upload it through FTP to the following dirctory:
/wp-content/themes/arthemia/images/
You will be replacing the default logo.png file which came with Arthemia. The trick here is if you want it to snap right in, your image size should be 400px wide and 100px high.
If you cannot change to a .png (I can for you or here’s an online conversion tool) then you’ll need to edit your header.php file which you’ll find by logging into WordPress dashboard – Appearance – Editor and edit Header (header.php) as that article shows you.

In reply to: [Plugin: All in One SEO Pack] Upgraded All In One SEO Pack & Titles Are Gone?Hi Maldran, I see you found my post over here.
In case others come across this, I posted this over at the plugin author’s forum here.
I don’t see why your links would be gone. If this is something that has happened in the last couple of days, try contacting your web host and see if they can do a site restore for a time when everything was working ok.

In reply to: [Plugin: All in One SEO Pack] Upgraded All In One SEO Pack & Titles Are Gone?Ok I fixed it, after a lot of toying around.
It wasn’t the database because after uploading my old database before the upgrade I still had problems.
Luckily, I had a backup of my hosted files and I copied my backup themes folder to my site and everything’s working again. The upgrade must have changed something somewhere, like maybe in the header file or something.
In any case, that’s what I did to fix my problem. That’s why backups are always a necessity.

In reply to: Posts not indexing on GoogleGet a Google account and use the Google Webmaster Tools to run a diagnostic on your site. It’ll show if there are any crawl errors.
Also, log into WP and under Settings -> Privacy, make sure your WP isn’t blocking search engines.

In reply to: Not hacked, but 64 spam comments??The best plugin I’ve found to stop comment spam is the Tan Tan Noodles plugin.
Get it, try it, and I bet it’ll work.

In reply to: [Plugin: All in One SEO Pack] Upgraded All In One SEO Pack & Titles Are Gone?Darn. Good suggestion, but it didn’t work. Not even after reupgrading that plugin while all others were deactivated.
It must be a change done in the database?
