    Okay. Your blog looks the same to me. Are you referring to the <title> tag? The thing that appears in the top of your browser, or the h1 tag, what appears inside the <h1> tag of your post. Maybe we’re not communicating well here.

    What is it that’s not happening correctly?

    It depends on your ftp program. You shouldn’t be afraid to overwrite any of those files as I doubt you’ve made any changes to the core WordPress.

    If you’re worried about overwriting something, perhaps you should make a backup (in a different directory) for your current site. Then you would have both new and old in case you need to retrieve files from somewhere.

    I think your site would be considered to be in “Broken Mode”. If it’s in maintenance, it would state that when you go to the home url.

    I think you’d have to do that anyway. 😉

    Okay, find this line of code in your header.php file:

    <div id="page_wrap">
    	<div id="header">
            <div id="headerimage">
    		<div class="blog_title">
    			<h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
    			<p class="description"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></p>
    		</div> </p>
    
    	</div>
    </div>

    Let’s just do a test to see if we got the right template. Replace the above code with:

    <div id="page_wrap">
    	<div id="header">
            <div id="headerimage">
    		<div class="blog_title">
    			<h1>TEST</h1>
    			<p class="description"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></p>
    		</div> </p>
    
    	</div>
    </div>

    When you upload it, your title should now say “TEST”. If it doesn’t then either the code is not being uploaded correctly, or your template is a bit odd.

    If you the code does change, try updating it again to say this:

    <div id="page_wrap">
    	<div id="header">
            <div id="headerimage">
    		<div class="blog_title">
                            <?php if (is_single() ) { ?>
    			<h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?> | <?php bloginfo('description'); ?></a></h1>
                             <?php } else { ?>
    
    <h1><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('description'); ?> | <?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
                        <?php } ?>
    		</div> </p>
    	</div>

    If not, see if the above code is in your index.php file or your page.php file. If so, update it there and try uploading again.

    Here’s a breakdown of how to do it with BlueHost. It should work for other hosts as well: Increase Upload Max Filesize.

    Google search: dynamic sidebars wordpress.

    <?php
    if ( function_exists('register_sidebar') )
    register_sidebar(array('name'=>'sidebar1',
    'before_widget' => '',
    'after_widget' => '',
    'before_title' => '<h4>',
    'after_title' => '</h4>',
    ));
    register_sidebar(array('name'=>'sidebar2',
    'before_widget' => '',
    'after_widget' => '',
    'before_title' => '<h4>',
    'after_title' => '</h4>',
    ));
    ?>

    Re-upload your saved files (from version 2.7.1). (Make sure not to overwrite your wp-content directory, just upload the rest of WordPress). Then, when your host has successfully upgraded you PHP version, you can auto-update.

    Try deleting the plug-in from your server, refresh the plug-ins page and make sure it disappears, then upload it back in and re-activate it.

    For the guestbook page, I’d just create a new page that says, “Leave your comments, thanks for visiting.” and allow people to leave comments. Pretty much the same functionality as a guestbook.

    What’s the link to your site?

    If you paste in the code for your header.php file we can help you rewrite it with the proper code to make the change.

    Make sure you have the latest theme.

    Try posting this in the Elegant Themes forum- that’s why you pay for it, premium support.

    You could delete this call from the featured.php and use excerpt instead, e.g ( “the_excerpt” instead of “the_content_limit()”).

    There’s directions in the help file included with the theme for making your image cache writable. Try reading that section again.

    Is there a chance it’s case sensitive? Try “featured” as your category, rather than “Featured”. Just a guess.

    You need to bring the javascript into your template:

    So, link this from the header.php (with the appropriate new path):

    <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.mdn-realtors.com/calculators.js"></script>

    For this particular page you also have this script, so maybe you’d want to create a special page template with this code in it:

    <script type="text/javascript"><!--
    tips = new Array();
    tips['loan_amount']   = "Enter the exact amount of money to be borrowed.";
    tips['interest_rate'] = "Enter the actual interest rate on the loan, as quoted by the lender.";
    tips['loan_term']     = "Enter the number of years over which the loan will be amortized.";
    tips['tax']           = "Enter the amount of Property Tax assessed by the municipality governing your property.";
    tips['insurance']     = "Enter the amount you pay annually for Home Owners Insurance.";
    tips['income']        = "Enter your true Gross Annual Income, or the amount of income you recieve before taxes.";
    tips['debt']          = "Add up all monthly installment loan payments (e.g. car, boat, student, furniture), Minimum Monthly Payments on Credit Cards, Monthly Legal Obligations (e.g. child support, alimony, court judgements).";
    //--></script>

    Then you’d paste in your data to the actual WordPress page from the WordPress editor:

    <table id="texttable" align="center" cellpadding="5"><tr><td align="left">
    Want to know how big of a loan you can take on? Fill in the boxes below to find out.
    </td></tr></table><br />

    Hope that gets you headed in the right direction.

    You just need to change the header.php file- you shouldn’t have to upload or touch anything else.

    Check your server to make sure all the files are there.

    Really? Your h1 tag should now say:

    “Blog Name | Blog Description” on pages AND

    “Blog Description | Blog Name” on posts

    There definitely should have been a change from what you had before. If there wasn’t it probably means you didn’t get the code into the right file or wasn’t uploaded correctly. I can help you debug if you post a link.
