In reply to: Upgrading across multiple releasesThanks. So is the CODEX too conservative in suggesting incremental upgrades?
Or maybe the incremental upgrades are needed only to get up to 2.7.x?

In reply to: Restricting access to files as well as posts/pagesThanks, but that looks like it’s an all or nothing solution. I want only certain categories to be private (yes, I could make them “private” individually, but it seems to be easier to train folks to think about their being in a category than their being private) and only some files need to be private (by default those with links from the posts in the private categories would be okay).

In reply to: Restricting access to files as well as posts/pagesNo, still no solution.
In the style.css file there’s code:
.hentry { margin:0 0 48px; }I haven’t worked with 2010 enough to know how to make the change as a “child theme” (so you can apply updates to 2010 without losing your customizations). But it’s the “48px” that needs to be something smaller to make the space smaller.

In reply to: can't make blog private?You can install one of the “Maintenance Mode” plugins that lock out all but admins. I
You could also use web server controls — e.g. .htaccess password access or .htaccess deny/allow from specific IP addresses.

In reply to: Changed blog directory in error..how do i undo this?That data is stored in the MySQL database.
You may be able to fix this with edits to the wp-config.php file. See documentation on WP_SITEURL and WP_HOME
If that doesn’t work (and be sure to keep a copy before you start editing the file), you may have to use phpMyAdmin or another tool to access the MySQL database directly. The siteurl and home entries are stored in the wp_options table.
You might have better luck asking this question on the Megabyet forums — it seems there are others with similar problems there:
http://byet.net/showthread.php?16400-Please-help-me-to-upgrade-Wordpress.
Perhaps it’s actually a Megabyet support question — I know some hosting companies support a “locked down” install of WordPress that has to be upgraded through their tools (and they’re more like wordpress.com in not allowing new themes and plugins).

In reply to: problem with customizing a postI’ve been happy with the WP Table Reloaded plugin which may do what you want.

In reply to: Images Being StretchedYour image is 260×260, but the HTML on the page is saying to display it with
height=350 width=400
You need to figure out whether those attributes on the image tag are something you can change in the post editor or if they’re coming from somewhere else in the theme.

In reply to: Index.php will not show as homepageThese may be questions you’ve checked a dozen times, but just in case …
In the Admin Panel > Settings > Reading
Do you have a “static front page” set?
If so, does it point to a page that’s still “there”?If you aren’t using the “static front page” feature, maybe a workaround would be to create a new page (tied to the template you want to use) and then set that as your home page?
All the best — looks like a great site!

In reply to: Excerpt displayed instead of whole postDo things work if you replace *just* the text that’s “Read More …” by default? The example at

In reply to: How can I avoid loss of formatting?Is the formatting “lost” only when a shortened version of the post is being displayed. [That’s the idea I get from your mention of the “‘home’ section” — where home pages often have a list of posts and their “teasers”.]
If that’s the case, in the edit panel for the post look at the Excerpt section. If that’s empty, WordPress will just pull the first part of the post but strip all the HTML. You need to copy the HTML you want into the Excerpt box (and/or use a plugin like Excerpt Editor. It’s possible other Excerpt plugins would do what you want automatically, but I haven’t tried them:

In reply to: Should I Reinstall? Or How Can I Fix ThisI hope this has been resolved by now, but just in case…
Do the two sites differ in which plugins are installed? Have you tried disabling all the plugins to see if that helps? If so re-enabling them one at a time is the suggested way to go.
