In reply to: Looking for a membership kinda pluginPhil,
Does the Membership plugin provide hooks/actions throughout the signup process for adding in custom functionality without having to modify the plugin’s core files? I need to tie into a few external APIs on a site I’m working on. Does the paid support/documentation document said hooks/actions if they exist? Thanks.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WordPress install questionI’m not sure what the difference is at Dreamhost, but if you don’t really know what you’re doing I would probably go Easy mode. That being said I would recommend you take a look at http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Installing_WordPress and learn as much as you can about the install process before moving forward.

In reply to: Error establishing a database connection (Config file OK)In my experience this is almost always a typo in the config file or the database is down. I would re-check everything one more time.

In reply to: Pretty Permalinks causes folder mis-readThere are some plugins which will parse PHP in the content, but I wouldn’t think this would be ideal. It would be very easy to break your site just from adding content.

In reply to: Pretty Permalinks causes folder mis-readIf you’re looking to embed images in your posts/pages you should use the Media Library to add an image by URL, or either upload it to your site.

In reply to: Suggestions for unmanaged VPS hosting ?I can’t recommend Host Gator or GoDaddy. I’ve had clients that have had terrible performance problems with both. Just my personal experience.
I’ve had a positive experience with GoTekky.com.
I also like Media Temple, although after their recent security issues I might have to rethink that.

In reply to: Pretty Permalinks causes folder mis-readIt looks like that website is using a full URL for the links unless I am missing something.
The most sure-fire way to make sure your links are right are right is to use the bloginfo() based links. This will insure that your links will be current even if you change your site’s base URL.

In reply to: Server overload. URGENT Help pleaseWP Robot can use a ton of resources depending on what you’re posting with it. Running it every 10 minutes is a lot, especially considering you’re running quite a few other plugins as well. I would cut WP-Robot back to a couple of times a day at most.
Google XML sitemaps could also be using a lot of resources in conjunction with WP-Robot. WP-Robot uses resources while it’s running, and at the same time Google XML sitemaps is trying to build a new sitemap file to accommodate the new posts.
Also, the advice about W3 Total Cache is good as well.

In reply to: The page isn't redirecting properlyYou could try visiting your permalinks settings page and hitting save.
If that doesn’t clear things up can you post your permalink settings and the content of your .htaccess file?

In reply to: Video is displayed as a linkWhat video service are you trying to post from?
If you’re linking to a raw video file you will need to upload it to some video service first. Such as Youtube or one of the other services which supports URL embedding with WordPress.
There are more advanced ways to embed raw video files, but for most people hosting your video with a 3rd party service is the way to go.

In reply to: Dynamic Headers on main index pageCurrently there is no way to assign header images based on categories, which sounds like what you need. This is planned functionality for a future release, but there isn’t currently a time frame for release of the next version. Check back in the near future for updates on the next release.

In reply to: Dynamic Headers on main index pageHi,
You have to explicitly set the blog header image under the plugin’s settings menu.

In reply to: Characters not displayed correctly after XML importI’m at a loss if everything is properly set. Did you happen to open the XML export in any sort of editor and make changes and then save? Thats the only other thing I could think of that could be messing with the encoding.
