In reply to: Need most basic WordPress for dummies tutorialwordpress is not a WYSIWYG (what you see is what you get) in the truest sense of the acronym.
BUT a real lot can be done right through the dashboard.
finding and installing themes &plugins, posting blogs, editing posts, adding pages, etc.if you wish to create your own theme, or customize your current theme, you will need to learn some code. there are theme builder websites on the internet, that help you along. some do charge money tho. if you already know html and css, just use the theme twentyeleven and customize it to your liking with css and whatnot.

In reply to: ALL my WP sites are being repeatedly hacked.one possible scenario is that they hacked your ftp,
any other way they did that is no clue to me.thats some black-hat hackers your dealing with.
i sometimes get ip addresses trying to hack into my ftp servers,
they try to use admin and common login details. so i assume that they are bots of some sort.but indeed change your ftp login details
ideally to a bunch of random letters and numbersForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: New WP install with old install runningindeed you could build your website via ftp through some offshoot of your domain name.
I would personally build the website on my local computer before posting it.
simply download “WAMP” (Windows) or “MAMP” (Mac) and build the website through localhost first, make sure its how you want it and stable, THEN upload it.
this way saves a lot of time as ftp over slow connections is a hassle.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: ALL my WP sites are being repeatedly hacked.also not to mention that there are programs that hackers like lulzsec and anonymous use that very easily break into sql databases. these programs are fully automated.

In reply to: ALL my WP sites are being repeatedly hacked.the way i am understanding you is like people hacked accounts and are posting either lewd or spam things on your wp sites.
if so, obviously your WP accounts must be breached.
you should change the password of all your admin, editor, author accountsi THINK you can do this through your mysql databases.
just simply login to phpmyadmin, locate your databases and change the users accounts where needed.
note, all of the users passwords in the database will be a mess of characters as it is encryptedForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Need most basic WordPress for dummies tutorialdatabases are things that store things like when a person registers on ur website, where does his/her login combo get stored? in the database.
databases uses code called “sql”.
mysql is the most popular option because it is open source.IF you are using bluhost, just go to your cpanel and install wordpress using “simplescript”. theres only like 3 steps to setting it up, as it automatically creates a database for you.
to make a simple webpage, and not a blog post, just use the “pages” option in your wordpress site’s admin control panel (the admin control panel is the back side of your site where you install plugins and make new blog posts)
in order to navigate to your theme’s directory you will need to “FTP” to your site.
if you are using windows, download “Filezilla”
if you are using Mac, download “Cyberduck”
Both programs are free and open source.in bluehost cpanel, look for “FTP”, click on the link, then scroll to the bottom and click on the configuration files they give you for whatever program you are using (Filezilla or cyberduck).
doubleclick your configuration file to open it once it is downloaded
then basically play around with filezilla/cyberduck and you should figure out how to navigate your website, as it is everything that is stored on your website. so try not to delete anything unless you know what you are doing.
try searching for your theme directory through FTP via filezilla/cyberduck.hope this helps

In reply to: twentyeleven mobile site resize error advertisementsgood idea, now that i lose a mobile add i will switch my mobile 320 ads to a square ad.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: twentyeleven mobile site resize error advertisementsnow i run into the issue of the Google adsense 3 ad limit per page.
i now have technically 4 ads on the page.its setup so i had 1 ad on the top under the nav bar, and 1 ad on the bottom under the content.
since the page loads 4 ads now, even though 2 dont show up from the css hiding them, one of the devices loses an ad (based on ad code placement – which ad code comes first in the source)
so im going to have to eliminate an ad, which in my opinion the mobile/320 is getting the axe as i expect less traffic to that version.
EDIT: we wrote at the same time lol

In reply to: twentyeleven mobile site resize error advertisementsive been researching…
must a register a new .php file in the functions.php in order for me to add a “get” code for it to display? i believe it is called a hook, is a hook what i need?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: twentyeleven mobile site resize error advertisementsi just thought of this, is it required to register new pages that i make, like “regularad.php”, in another file somewheres?
so i have to register the new php file in a list so i would be able to call for it in a “get_regularads()” command?
