Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Avoiding Glitches in AdvanceOK Michael. I have quite a bit to digest and I thank you for the help and will take your advice and install WP on my machine to practice with.
Just two more quick questions:
1. If I activate Cimy’s plugin to get more fields for user information, does the plugin automatically create the necessary fields in the WordPress database or do I have to create them?
and
If I have further questions should I activate this exchange or start a new post?
thanks again for your help.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Avoiding Glitches in AdvanceThis is all very helpful but, as would be expected, leads to more questions.
I visited Cimy and that would seem to allow for expanding the registration fields. Two questions on that:
1. Cimy writes “WordPress: just copy whole cimy-user-extra-fields subdir into your plug-in directory and activate it”.
What, actually would I be doing here? ‘Copy’ to me means ‘select all’ ‘copy’ and ‘paste’ usually to a blank MS Word or MS Front Page page. Is that what he is telling me to do? Do I have to first create a page or file to copy to?
2. You responded above, “You need to create a MySQL database and database user as describe in Installing WordPress. Of course, Startlogic may have their own install routine that I can’t speak to.”
Apparently I need only one database for WordPress. What goes into that db?
Because I want to eventually query data on registered users would I be better off creating a seperate db for that data?Forum: Installing WordPress
