?

In reply to: WP 2.1 – Posting ProblemFurthermore . . .
I went back and changed the tiny_mce_config file back to haw it was before and it didn’t bring back the RTE, neither did restoring my database in phpMyAdmin.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WP 2.1 – Posting ProblemChanging the tiny-mce_config.php file as suggested has also fixed the problem for me but . . .
. . . in doing so, it’s disbled me having the ability to use the Rich Text Editor. The RTE just doesn’t appear now when I select a page to edit.
Now I don’t personally need the RTE, but I’m creating a site using WP as a CMS and need to have other people (with no html knowledge whatsoever) be able to use the RTE to edit pages in the future.
Has anyone else encountered this?
p.s. I’m using WP version 2.2.1

In reply to: Custom Permalink Structure for a completely Static Site?Strange, but WP had written the permalink rules to the .htaccess file twice yet I was only seeing them once in cPanel?
Still can’t quite get page permalinks to work though, I’ll keep trying.
Thank you TSGuitar and thanks Moshu.

In reply to: Custom Permalink Structure for a completely Static Site?Okay, I can see using cPanel that WP has written the code to my .htaccess file.
RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /blog/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]# BEGIN WordPress RewriteEngine On RewriteBase /blog/ RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]I’ll call my host and report back.

In reply to: Custom Permalink Structure for a completely Static Site?The .htaccess file is now set at 776 because when it was set at 666 WP didn’t write the code automatically to the .htaccess file, it displayed it for me to write to that file. I did that and uploaded the .htaccess file again and WP crashed just as it has again this morning.

In reply to: Custom Permalink Structure for a completely Static Site?Moshu, thanks for those links, I’ll take a look at them. I have posted questions here also about file permissions previously y’now, as I figured that might be the problem before. I now have them set to 776 because that seems to be the minimum that my host allows.
Thanks for that 500 error link too TSGuitar.

In reply to: Custom Permalink Structure for a completely Static Site?My hosting company is Haven Hosting.
I have checked with them and have a 12 page print out on what their server runs and has enabled.
Under the heading “Apache” and “Loaded Modules” it has a list of about 40, one of which is mod_rewrite.
I also have a .htaccess file in my /blog directory and one in the root directory of my site.
Both are supposedly empty though, could this be the problem?

In reply to: Custom Permalink Structure for a completely Static Site?Moshu, I have $400 in the bank. I am learning WP to hopefully make my job easier and be able to attract clients by offering a website with a CMS as that’s what they want these days.
I am not being paid to learn this stuff.

In reply to: Custom Permalink Structure for a completely Static Site?Right – this is what has been happening those other times it crashed too – it’s just crashed again!
As soon as I change anything in that permalink page (this time I simply selected the second option for date based permalinks – note I have deleted all reference to dates and times in the template code), I get a 500 Internal Server Error.
Nothing on my dashboard works, everything is kaput!
I then have to go and delete WP, create a new database with a new username and password, change the wp-config file to reflect those changes and upload WP again, add in all the template files etc and try something else.
This is really driving me nuts.
When I say I’m deleting all reference to page title, date etc, in the templates as I don’t need that information at the top or bottom of each page because it’s not a blog – it’s a static site. Is that the problem?
Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Custom Permalink Structure for a completely Static Site?Thanks TSGuitar,
It’s not actually doing as I want, at the moment it’s just showing the opening page and if I type in /blog/accessibility or /blog/site-map etc, it just refreshes the opening page. If I type in /blog/?page=6 I start to see the other pages that I’ve put there (I’ve only put the top level menu pages in so far, no sub-pages yet).
I’ll try changing to something other than default like Moshu mentioned, and if that works then great. Is that what you’re saying too?
Moshu, I understand that many people just post without reading anything and don’t even respond to the people who respond to them. I understand your frustration as a moderator but please believe me that not everybody is like that.
I do believe that the WP codex is quite poorly written for a program that is so standards compliant. There are too many links within the text and the whole codex thing should rreally be divided into two as there are two distinct users of WP – Bloggers and Designers using it as a CMS.
Anyway, I hope I haven’t offended anyone too much.
I’ll try now and report back.

In reply to: Custom Permalink Structure for a completely Static Site?With all due respect to you as a moderator Moshu, not everyone who posts questions on these forums does so on a whim.
I have read that “using Permalinks” page time after time and still find it difficult to understand. I have searched these forums using search words such as “permalinks”, “pages”, “sub-pages”, “htaccess” and “pagename” and many combinations of these together.
I simply don’t need to be told to read something AGAIN that is not written clearly.

In reply to: image borders work great in FF but not in IEHi Diva,
It would help if you could post a URL so we could see the code.
In any case, this is the CSS I have for right and left aligned images on my site (available in my profile, and it works in all major browsers.
#content img.left { float: left; padding: 16px; border: 1px solid #bbb; margin: 8px; } #content img.right { float: right; padding: 16px; border: 1px solid #bbb; margin: 16px 32px 16px 0; }Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Deleting Old blogHi Box,
I’m no WordPress expert by any stretch of the imagination but I don’t like seeing posts go unanswered for long periods of time.
Learning WordPress has been a very long and enduring task for me, many mistakes and many deletes, so I do know that it is possible to delete WordPress entirely and upload it again.
Do you have an FTP program, perhaps FileZilla? If so, and if you are sure you want to delete the old blog entirely, open your files in FileZilla, and delete the directory where you saved it. Download the newest version and then upload it to your site again, perhaps using a different folder name.
If you’re not familiar with creating databases with usernames and passwords, ask your host to do it for you but ask them that they call it something different from the old one. Perhaps they called the last one “WordPress” or “Blog”, well get them to call this one “BoxBuster” with a different username and a different password.
Change your wp-config file to reflect these changes and I think you should be okay.
Hope it works for you.
kind regards
Nicole

I’ve fumbled my way through a lot of this and did manage to get the site working, at least the opening page of it.
