Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: white pageDid you do something different?
Do you have a backup you can restore? Like a database or files?
Sometimes you could get that error from a Permalink issue. If you have custom permalinks set up, you can log into your hosting control panel and open the .htaccess file in your root and comment out your permalink structure code.
It’ll be between the
# Begin WordPress
…
…
# End WordPressJust put a # in front of each link you find in the middle (where my dots are) to comment out the code.
Save the file and see if that works. If not, go back into your .htaccess file and remove the # signs (so you restore everything back to where you were).

In reply to: Missing Page after UpgradeYou could try using a replacement editor, such as FCKEditor.
I know what you mean, though. I upgraded one of my blogs and after the upgrade my Visual editor broke. I don’t really use the visual editor so no harm, but I was only able to fix it when I did a site redesign and reinstalled WordPress.

In reply to: [Plugin: All in One SEO Pack] Upgraded All In One SEO Pack & Titles Are Gone?Hi samboll. It was worth a try, but nothing changed.
I’ve tried:
– disabling WP Super Cache
– deactivating and reactivating the plugin
– deleting my browser’s cache
– double checked my plugin’s settings (appear exactly the same)I do have a back up blog which I have not upgraded the plugin yet (thus it’s still working over there). Is there something I can use from that blog to get this one working?
Thanks again.

In reply to: [Plugin: All in One SEO Pack] Plugin not working with WordPress 2.7.1I am trying to help someone fix their All-In-One issue.
Like others in here, after they upgraded All-In-One no longer worked like it did before. Their keywords and descriptions show, but the page title won’t show.
In the post admin area, you can give it a title, but when someone goes to that page or post from the front end, the custom All-In-One title won’t show.
The wp_head() function is already in the header.php file.
Any ideas?
Thanks

In reply to: What is a good robots.txt file for WordPress?Thanks douglashanna. For the most part I’ve always done the same. I was considering adding one, though. But I’ll probably hold off as far as my WP blog goes.
Geez MichaelH – gonna scare the newbie! 😉
That was pretty funny though.
@giorgiomartini – I think you have a winner. If you need help, you know where to find us.
If you’re talking about using WordPress, stick with Linux. Your life will be MUCH easier.

In reply to: Random Breaking?ronalddaniels – I’ll be doing a guest post on another blogger’s blog on Friday about securing WordPress. You might want to stop by.
Her site is http://bloggingwithoutablog.com. If I remember, I’ll head back over here after the article is published and link to it (as long as the forum moderators don’t mind the link).
Anyone else with security tips are welcomed to join in as well.

In reply to: Recovering Lost PostsHey no problem. Glad you got it figured out.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionI just did a video tutorial taking you from step 1 to your final step installing WordPress manually:
http://wpbloghost.com/install-wordpress-maually/
Start with Video 2 – it gets into the wp-config.php settings.
The most common reason for seeing that error message is you didn’t fill in your wp-config.php file properly.
Make sure you included:
Database Username
Database Name
Database Password
Database HostIf just one of those are forgotten, it won’t work.

In reply to: Installation IssuesLooks like it’s telling you that you already have a WP installation where you’re trying to install WordPress. Make sure you don’t. Second, make sure you have an empty database for the install.

In reply to: Random Breaking?iridiax is right, you can get this if you’ve been hacked. Doesn’t mean that you have, though.
If you see some weird code in your index.php file, like an iframe or some other code which doesn’t belong, realize that might not be the only file infected. Make sure to change all usernames and more importantly, passwords – that includes your database password and FTP password.
Then install the Blue Trait Event Viewer plugin so you can keep an eye out for unwanted logins or changes.

In reply to: adding a linkIf I understand you right, you want to create a page but not have it show up in the navigational menu.
If that’s the case, use this plugin here:
http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/exclude-pages/On the edit page area, you’ll see a new checkbox for it.
