Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Auto upgrade to 2.7.1 doesnt finish.Similar problem for me, too, with the 2.7.0 > 2.7.1 upgrade. I had to wait about 10 minutes before the upgrade said it completed successfully and in the interim saw the message: “Briefly unavailable for scheduled maintenance. Check back in a minute.”
When the upgrade completed, with several warning messages, I saw a new message that the update had not completed and to repeat the update. I tried repeating the auto-update, but it said that the update was already successfully installed and to try a manual install.
After reading this post, I ftp’d to my blog site, looked for the “.maintenance” file mention by the Moderator’s post and deleted it. All seems back to normal and the warning message to reinstall the update is gone.

In reply to: Need way to list & select posts alphabetically under each CategoryThanks to design_dolphin for the help links.
But, after I posted, I found a plugin that pretty much does what I need called “AZIndex Ver. 0.6.2”. It creates a new page with an index of all the posts listed alphabetically. While not exactly what I was asking for in my post, it works well after one slight modification to the code so that it would work in WP 2.7.The modification is noted on the author’s web page ( http://englishmike.net/azindex-plugin/ ) under a 12/12/08 comment:
Just a little update on a better fix;
1) open az-index-admin.php in an editor (could be in the WordPress Plugin Editor even)
2) Locate the following line;
define(’AZ_PAGENAME’, ‘edit.php?page=az-index-manager’);
3) Change it to;
define(’AZ_PAGENAME’, ‘tools.php?page=az-index-manager’);Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Suddenly unable to view any blog posts on my new blogThe problem, thankfully, is resolved and it had nothing to do with the Akismet plugin.
Apparently, in the WordPress Dashboard’s “Settings > Permalinks” section, changing “Common Settings” to anything other than “Default” causes my Web Host’s Windows based web servers to have a fit which makes it appear as if my web blog/site disappeared.
Had it not been for one of my Web Host’s tech support people, who also runs a personel WordPress Blog, I would never have realized what the error was or how to correct it.
