Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Brute force attacksi think its working. havent had an attack for 10 hours now…. crossing fingers! Im not good with code. I just copied and pasted the stuff into the htaccess and changed it to my url. There was some other piece of code in there that looked like this one. I hope i did it right.

In reply to: Brute force attacksyea im more inclined to add the htaccess code instead of a plugin. i dont want to rely on plugins if i can avoid it. already got too many running on the site. thanks for the heads up all!

In reply to: How do I change my sidebar thingsno one knows i guess! anyone?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How do I change my sidebar thingsah thanks for the start tips!
my current theme is just using the standard theme that came first (the white page with the gradient baby blue banner) on the blog when i first installed it. i just modified it to what it looks like right now.
i really like the setup of these photographers with the links up top
http://www.aperturaphoto.com/blog/
BUT i am thinking this way listed below is easier(?)heres what im looking to do for all you coders who can help me out a bit while i go searching for stuff in other themes i can steal.
1. hide my archive list. users will have to click on the word “archive” to get a list of past months
2. change the word “pages” to “About” and to add “Contact” under the current “About”
3. add icons instead of links to my facebook, website, blah blah.
4. hide my meta links from all public people, ill sign in using my wp-login.php link.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How do I change my sidebar thingswell i know where to find my installed widgets but Madcore was talking about (i think) a widget or an addon that helps you easily customize your sidebar.
i dont want my meta there either, who cares about the meta links other than me! it just makes the blog more unneedingly cluttered
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How do I change my sidebar thingsmmm maybe you can point me in a direction of one of those widgets. been combing through the widgets and am not seeing anything useful yet. thanks!
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How do I change my sidebar thingsoh? never heard of those. im pretty dumb when it comes to all this really. i know my html though, but thats about it. ill go search out those widgets thanks for the lead!

In reply to: where to find wordpress files on my ftp server?so no one really knows? gosh i just want to edit the look of the site. this is sad.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: where to find wordpress files on my ftp server?when i connect using my FTP i am connect to the / directory. only non personal files are
_private
_vti_bin
_vti_cnf
_vti_log
_vti_pvt
_vti_txtnone of which contain anything remotely related to wordpress. what in the world is that link that dopecoder sent me saying? i suppose i am looking for a folder with WP stuff in it? or am i wrong
seems like i could go crazy setting up something that is supposed to be bonehead as a blog!
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: where to find wordpress files on my ftp server?ok i read through the installation guide on that link and i have no idea how to get through the first step! if i log into wordpress through my internet hosting there is no such thing as the things listed. if is sign into my internet hosting itself there is also no such thing as that. if i ftp my server space, there is no folder related to wordpress.
am i just plain dumb here? someone help me get jump started here.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: where to find wordpress files on my ftp server?ill have to look into this more. nothing on my FTP hosting with the files. Ill give that dummies book a try
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: where to find wordpress files on my ftp server?ok ill give these a shot tonight when i can access my server with ftp.
zhuli – i didnt technically “install” wordpress. i signed up for it through my domain provider and they did all the setup for me. i did not have to download anything or manually drop things into my server folders
depecoder – ok ill give that a shot.
