In reply to: Title Tag issueOkay. 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?

In reply to: WP Is Stuck On Failed Upgrade Error MessageIt 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.

In reply to: My second custom site ever!I think you’d have to do that anyway. 😉

In reply to: Title Tag issueOkay, 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.

In reply to: WP Is Stuck On Failed Upgrade Error MessageRe-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.

In reply to: My second custom site ever!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.

In reply to: Problem with ePhoto templateMake 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.

In reply to: Morning After theme: Featured Post FunctionIs there a chance it’s case sensitive? Try “featured” as your category, rather than “Featured”. Just a guess.

In reply to: newbie issueYou 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 /> <table align="center" cellpadding="5"><tr><td valign="top"> <form method="post"> <table class="calc" cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" align="center" width="100%"> <tr> <th colspan="3"><b>How much can I borrow?</b></th> </tr> <tr><td align="right"> Annual Interest Rate: </td><td> <input class="calc_input" type="text" name="param[interest_rate]" value="6.5" size="3"> % </td><td valign="middle"> <img id="interest_rate" src="images/tip.gif" width="19" height="19" onMouseOver="show_tip(this.id)" onMouseOut="hide_tip()" align="absMiddle"> </td></tr> <tr><td align="right"> Term of the Loan: </td><td> <input class="calc_input" type="text" name="param[loan_term]" value="30" size="3"> years </td><td valign="middle"> <img id="loan_term" src="images/tip.gif" width="19" height="19" onMouseOver="show_tip(this.id)" onMouseOut="hide_tip()" align="absMiddle"> </td></tr> <tr><td align="right"> Annual Real Estate Taxes: </td><td> <input class="calc_input" type="text" name="param[tax]" value="3,500" size="3"> $ </td><td valign="middle"> <img id="tax" src="images/tip.gif" width="19" height="19" onMouseOver="show_tip(this.id)" onMouseOut="hide_tip()" align="absMiddle"> </td></tr> <tr><td align="right"> Annual Homeowners Insurance: </td><td> <input class="calc_input" type="text" name="param[insurance]" value="300" size="3"> $ </td><td valign="middle"> <img id="insurance" src="images/tip.gif" width="19" height="19" onMouseOver="show_tip(this.id)" onMouseOut="hide_tip()" align="absMiddle"> </td></tr> <tr><td align="right"> Gross Annual Income: </td><td> <input class="calc_input" type="text" name="param[income]" value="120,000" size="8"> $ </td><td valign="middle"> <img id="income" src="images/tip.gif" width="19" height="19" onMouseOver="show_tip(this.id)" onMouseOut="hide_tip()" align="absMiddle"> </td></tr> <tr><td align="right"> Monthly Debt Obligations: </td><td> <input class="calc_input" type="text" name="param[debt]" value="1,500" size="3"> $ </td><td valign="middle"> <img id="debt" src="images/tip.gif" width="19" height="19" onMouseOver="show_tip(this.id)" onMouseOut="hide_tip()" align="absMiddle"> </td></tr> </table> <br /> <table cellpadding="5" cellspacing="0" align="center" width="100%"> <tr><td align="center"> <input class="calc_button" type="submit" name="param[calculate]" value="Calculate"> </td></tr> </table> <!-- DO NOT REMOVE THE LINE BELOW.

In reply to: Search BarYou 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.

In reply to: Title Tag issueReally? 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.
