In reply to: Feedburner says my feed is invalidthanks! Feed is validated. But when I click my rss image from my blog, that same error message comes up. I deactivated the custom permalinks plugin by the way to get validated. Am I ok since I’m validated? or should I not see that error message still?

In reply to: giving WP its own directoryGreat. Now that that’s handled, what steps do I take to allow my 1.htaccess file that’s been uploaded to be renamed to .htaccess? CoreFTP won’t allow me to rename the file without the 1.

In reply to: Relocating Image files and LinksCan you help me with my .htaccess issue? I created it as 1.htaccess and used FTP to upload it. As instructed, I have tried changing the name to just .htaccess but my FTP won’t accept the change.

In reply to: giving WP its own directoryoops! We must have been working simultaneously..didn’t see your previous post. Whew! Thank goodness. Yes, I was following “Giving WordPress It’s Own Directory”.
Okay, so now, how can I fix .htaccess?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: giving WP its own directoryI cannot directly upload .htaccess, it makes me put the 1 in there first.
I am using yahoo small business for my hosting but not sure what kind of details you need me to know.
As far as the moving of the files go..here are the first 6 stpes I followed from Creating a WordPress Directory:
# Create the new location for the core WordPress files to be stored (we will use /wordpress in our examples).
# Go to the Options panel.
# In the box for WordPress address (URL): change the address to the new location of your main WordPress core files. Example: http://example.com/wordpress
# In the box for Blog address (URL): change the address to the root directory’s URL. Example: http://example.com
# Click Update Options. (Do not worry about the error message and do not try to see your blog at this point!)
# Move your WordPress core files to the new location (WordPress address).The first bullet here instructed me to create the wordpress file to move the files to. Am I still not comprehending this or what?

In reply to: giving WP its own directoryArghh! Only problem now is that my FTP won’t accept the change in the file name. I even went to my control panel to try to make the file name change there and it said that the .htaccess filename was invalid. Someone mentioned a searc and replace. What is that and is that needed here? Or how do I allow the 1.htaccess to change to .htaccess. I think that is my last problem!

In reply to: Relocating Image files and LinksJust so I’m clear, when I press ctrl c in my FTP, go the the directory I want and hit ctrl v, the files were “moved” on their own, not copied. In fact any copy and pasting I have done in my FTP creates a “move”. I am too scared to ctrl x anything! So I don’t know what to do about that.
How do I do a search and replace? Again, I am completely new to this and sorry for any irritation I may have caused you 🙂

In reply to: Relocating Image files and LinksI was giving WP it’s own directory and messed up a few things. As a result, my permalinks need to be updated. However, after creating the .htaccess file with the code I got from another wonderful support person and uploading it to my root server, my links (like my about me page and my chicklet button images) still aren’t working.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: giving WP its own directoryok. thanks! Got some sleep huh?:) Anyway, the images are basically my chicklets buttons and my photo on my about me section.
That’s just it, I don’t see the .htaccess file at the root. Would it be somewhere else?

In reply to: giving WP its own directoryCan I please get some help on how to get my image files back and my links to work again. My blog is now showing at my web address like normal, but has lost some functionality. Anyone?

In reply to: giving WP its own directoryAlright…I have gotten all the wordpress files into it’s proper directory and it is visible online. However, my actual blog is still not showing up. In my index.php file, the line as stated in the tutorial under #9, I don’t see that anywhere. If I can just get the proper “blog” file into the right place, it will show on my domain. Any suggestions on locating that file?

In reply to: giving WP its own directoryPardon my dust..but I am new to this. There was no way for me to know to skip #6. So, as you can see, following the instructions as they are written can possibly cause a mishap:- If there is any instruction you can give to undo what I did it would help. See, I have already gone through all the steps and when I got to #9, I didn’t see that particular line. So, I am stuck there, but because changes have been made, I can’t get back to where I was either.

In reply to: giving WP its own directoryok. My goal was to have my blog at http://www.mlmiseasyonline.com instead of http://www.mlmiseasyonline.com/blog. I found a support doc that gave instructions on how to change the URL’s on the options section of wordpress. I thought I was creating the separate wordpress directory properly and putting the index file there. Once I finished, I was unable to access anything. I’m trying to at least find my blog!
