Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Adding new functions, general_template.php pageActually Otto42, I changed the code to what you suggested
<?php get_sidebar(‘authors’); ?>
but that rendered this call for the author’s thumbnail pic in the sidebar which comes from the user-photo plugin useless. The picture would not show up anymore. The code
<?php userphoto_thumbnail($authordata) ?>
only works in that sidebar when it is called like this
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/sidebar-authors.php");?>
C’est la code…thanks for your help

In reply to: Adding new functions, general_template.php pageHere’s an interesting question: now that I’ve got my authors page calling my special sidebar…. how do I get that special sidebar to show up in the drop down sidebar list in my admin widgets control panel, so that I can configure that sidebar differently than the original one?

In reply to: Adding new functions, general_template.php pageRight, that helped! thanks.
What I did was this: the original code was
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/sidebar_r.php");?>
which still works on several templates, and I added this<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH."/sidebar-authors.php");?>
to put my special sidebar on my authors’ page. works great, much simpler than the other way of going into general_template.php and adding functions!
great stuff.

thanks again,

In reply to: No install possiblePPS: I see that WP wants MySQL version 4 – or greater – so presumably if I upgrade my whole server to version MySQL version 5 that would NOT be a problem….
Anyone able to verify that? Will WP run on version 5 OK?
thanks,

In reply to: No install possiblePS: This message is at the top of the install.php page:
Database Upgrade Required
Your WordPress database is out-of-date, and must be upgraded before you can continue.
The upgrade process may take a while, so please be patient.Unfortunately clicking on that upgrade button again takes me to a blank page, with no change to the database. I do see that my server is running MySQL version 3.23.58 – not version 4 which is what WP requires, so maybe that is the problem. I will look into what’s required to upgrade my MySQL on my server.
thanks, JSCForum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: No install possibleHi Edie,
yes that is vital. I created the database. It’s on my own server, so permissions are there. In every other database installation I’ve ever done, there are file paths telling where the files are sitting. So that seems odd there are no file paths called for in the config file for WP. However, I’m not an expert, so maybe this one works differently. In answer to your question, the database is created, and the install.php file does not seem to upload any information to it. It goes to step two and gives a blank page, and there is no data uploaded to the database. So it must not be finding it. But again, the only instruction for configuration was to the config.php file, which I did as accurately as I could, I don’t see where to go next. I did not, however configure the language line: define (‘WPLANG’, ”); – as I am hoping English is the default and requires no definition.So, where to next to tell the script where my database is? Or, any suggestions?
thanks for your help.
