In reply to: [WP Activity Log] wp_wsal_options not created with plugin updateGood to know that there is an easy fix. I had one site with a 15MB error log created in just three days from this error.
I just noticed exactly the same issue.

In reply to: Theme Style IssueThe main stylesheet must be named style.css but you can put it into a directory. If you wanted it in /styles, change that line in header.php to
href="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_url'); ?>/styles/"
to make WordPress look in that directory.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: layoutThat’s a big question, so the big answer is “change your style.css.”
You’ll have to look in that file to find the current width of the various elements in your theme layout. From there, the best practice would be to create a child theme and change the layout dimensions in that.
If this is completely unfamiliar to you, then my best suggestion would be to find a theme designer to work with you to make your desired changes.

In reply to: Same Avatar in every commentYou can set your WordPress so that no gravatars are shown on any comments by going to Settings -> Discussion and selecting “Don’t Show Avatars.” If you choose to show avatars, then if the user has selected one, that one shows up. Trying to force all avatars to “Mystery Man” would require some code fiddling.

In reply to: Image link in galleryHm, I don’t know. It might be best to get in touch with the theme’s author, then.

In reply to: Image link in galleryYou are using the built-in WordPress gallery?
If so, you can add [gallery link="file"] to make the thumbnail images link to larger versions of themselves instead of to a separate post.

In reply to: How to change the main menu categories name?Is the top main menu organized through the WordPress Appearance -> Menus in your dashboard?
If so, you can change the display name for each tab. Clcik the down arrow to the right of the name of the tab (like Home or Contact us) and you’ll see a box that says “Navigation Label.” Type in there whatever you want to show up on the site, and save the menu.
If that menu is set up through your theme options, check to see if something similar is available there. If not, get in touch with your theme author and ask how to change it.

In reply to: logo and menu centerIf that’s the case, I’d suggest looking in your stylesheet for
.logo {
and try adding
display: block;
margin: auto;to the css.

In reply to: logo and menu centerLooks like your top menu is centered. I gather it’s the “sings the legends” that you want to center?

In reply to: Exporting a Theme Without the ContentThere’s also a plugin written by Ozh that will zip the theme file from your test site. You can then download it to your computer and upload it to the new site through the Theme -> Install Themes -> Upload in your WordPress dashboard. This does the same thing as the FTP download-upload, but without needing FTP.

In reply to: database deleted, can I restore from files?Check with your hosting company about backups. If you don’t have the database, then you’ll have an essentially empty WordPress when you restore the files — all the posts, pages, etc. will be gone.
Most hosting companies keep at least one daily backup for each site. Some of them keep a separate weekly backup as well.

In reply to: WordPress is completely broken, HELP!Have you tried flushing your Safari cache? It uses some cacheing rules that differ from other browsers and often you’ll have to clear Safari manually when the others are displaying the changes.

In reply to: WordPress Theme not working, only show content, please helpThis sounds obvious, but the first thing to do is to either delete the htaccess file or remove the lines you added to prevent hotlinking. Have you tried that?

In reply to: Can't get into DashboardKelpie, what did you do right before the dashboard went kablooie? Did you install a new plugin, or change the theme?
The first thing I would suggest is to go to the site using FTP. Open the wp-content/plugins/ folder. Rename every single plugin (you can just put an x or a 1 or something after the name: e.g., rename fantasticplugin.php to fantasticplugin1.php ). Then see if you can get back into the dashboard. If you can, then one of the plugins is causing a problem. You can change the names back, one at a time: change a plugin name back to the original name, then try to open the dashboard again. If that works, change another, and repeat. When you can’t get back to the dashboard you’ve found the problem plugin. Delete it.
If all the plugins work, then try the same thing with your theme — rename it and see if you can get back into the dashboard.
If neither of those work, post again and we’ll try something else. 🙂
