    Resolved: Turns out my inability to log in was being caused by my eTrust Personal Firewall. I was able to log in from a different computer, but still not my own. After some trial and error, when I shut off the firewall, I am able to log in. When I turn the firewall back on, can’t log in again.

    I don’t have trouble logging into any other web apps, just wordpress.

    Thanks for the replies.

    No, it’s not cookies, CAPS, or anything like that. I’ve closed all browsers, reset password, even rebooted my PC. I just can’t log in at all.

    There has to be a fix for this. Very frustrating!

    They are. I’ve logged in with no trouble many times before. All of a sudden, I cannot.

    Any other ideas please? Is there a paid help support offered anywhere for WordPress? I really need to get this solved fast.

    Thanks

    Followup:
    I just viewed the pages from my laptop, which a higher resolution screen than my desktop, and there are no gaps. I suspect my image is too wide for the width of a 640×800 screen. Does that sound like the problem?

    Thanks for the feedback.

    Thanks for the reply. No, directly above the images in both links above, I see over a half page of whitespace – a gap of dead page space. On closer examination, it looks like the top of the images line up with the botttom of my left menu and the images are slightly wider than the space allowed for next to the left menu. Maybe that’s causing it to jump down further on the page where it can fit?

    Hmmm, well in both IE and Firefox, I see big gaps above the image. Does anyone else see gpas above the images?

    I am having a similar question as above.

    The links in my blog titled ‘RSS’ and ‘Comments RSS’ both have feed: in front of the http:// and when clicked in IE displays a ‘page not found error’ and when clicked in FireFox says ‘feed is not a registered protocol’.

    see http://www.crosslandteam.com/blog

    I’m new to blogging but my initial opinion is that I don’t want and links that appear broken to a user who might click them. Can someone help me understand why I would want to leave them as they are. Or, should I change the code to remove the feed and if I do so, is there a disadvantage in doing that?

    Thanks for any help or comments.

    Ok, thanks for all the help.
    I placed a second htaccess file into the directory /blog. I chmod it to 666. Then I set the Options -> Permalinks field to the format I wanted, clicked “Update Permalink Structure”, and received the message “Permalink structure updated.” It didn’t give me anything to cut and paste like it did the first time. And the links all work now so it must have written to the htaccess file on it’s own without a problem.

    (The long summary is for future dopes like me who have the same problem and find this thread)

    Thanks for the help.

    OK, so I need a second .htaccess file then, independent of the one I already have in my domain root. I’ll try that and see what happens.
    Thanks

    Thanks for the help. I appreciate it.

    Just read this at the permalink how-to page:

    “Your server must have mod_rewrite for cruft-free permalinks to work. In addition, you must create a .htaccess file and place it in the directory in which your main index.php file resides. For example, if your WordPress blog is installed at domain.com/wordpress/, put the .htaccess file at domain.com/wordpress/.htaccess. However, if your WordPress installation is in a subdirectory, but your visitors access your site at the top level of your domain, place the .htaccess file at domain.com/.htaccess.”

    Does this mean I need an htaccess file in my /bolg directory? The first part seems to say so, but the second part applies to my site and so I think maybe I don’t.

    Visitors come to mydomain.com and the blog will be linked to from the home page at mydomain.com/blog.

    So I don’t need a second htaccess in the /blog directory if I am understanding the above correctly. Is that right?

    OK, you are right. Cleared all permalink fields and now don’t have any dead links. Everything is working with the url tags such as /blog/?p=7

    So, if I now have my htaccess permissions at 666, and I go back into Permalinks and set it from scratch again, it will create the directories i.e. /2005/07/23/article-name/ automatically for existing articles as well as all new ones?

    Thanks,
    Steve

    I have some redirects in my htaccess file that are not related to WP but which are needed to keep search engine indexed links to old pages from showing up dead.

    I suppose I can just delete the WP stuff from the htaccess file, make sure it’s permissions are 666, and try what you suggest above?
