Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: [Vortex] Picture in HeaderThank you for your quick reply. My appearance tab doesn’t have a header option. It’s a wordpress version that was upgraded to 3.5.1. My appearance only has “themes” and “editor” as options — it seems like there were more options there before the upgrade.
Just for fun, I installed a new wordpress 3.5.1 in a test folder and the new version has “themes”, “widgets”, “menus”, “header”, “background”, “vortex options”….aha, there’s a clue.
In my upgraded wordpress, I haven’t activated the Vortex theme because I didn’t want to completely trash my site until I had tested a few things out. I’m assuming maybe these extra options come with the vortex install?
Btw, I tried your solution on the test blog and it worked! Thank You!

In reply to: Comment Flags resetting and mail delivery problemsThanks again Esmi! Can you direct me to a how-to on changing my theme? (I see a button for upgrading my current theme, but not changing.) I searched the forum but didn’t get very far — must not be typing in the correct keywords.
Thanks,

In reply to: Comment Flags resetting and mail delivery problemsThanks for your response Esmi.
All of my plugins (only two — akismet and database backup) are currently deactivated.
I’ve hesitated to switch themes because I have so many non-blog pages on my website that are coded to my current theme and they’d all have to be re-done. Ouch. It’s a consideration though. Do themes get old or incompatible with new versions of wordpress?
I’ll try resetting the plugins folder too.
Thanks,

In reply to: My posts appear in reverse order : The oldest is now the firstI’ve been fighting this problem for a week (after being moved to new servers) and finally came to the forums for an answer. Then I returned to my host (IPOWER — what a jug-screw) and they recommended that I upgrade my wordpress. I did that and apparently I’m one of the lucky ones (at least so far) — it worked for me. Just wanted to post here, so if anyone has my same problem, they might try the upgrade to wordpress.

In reply to: No Long Receiving Comments by EmailMy comments have suddenly stopped being forwarded to my e-mail. To the best of my knowledge, I haven’t “done” anything — i.e., upgraded wordpress. (Not even sure what version of wordpress I’m running.) I’m clueless.
I created a wordpress@mydomain account and set the e-mail to be forwarded. That didn’t work.
I reset my wordpress password and that e-mail DID appear in my inbox, so I’m pretty sure it’s not my server.
Help please! I’m afraid of breaking something since I don’t know what I’m doing!!!
Thanks,
AnnaHmmm, hard to know what popular is — I’m assuming I’ll need a new database user in about the same amount of time or less as it took me to have this problem the first time around. I really appreciate all your help. If the WP-Cache works, could you also post where I might find instructions to do that? Also, I’ve had complaints about my site being slow to load since I created the new database user. Do you suppose that really caused the problem, or could the problems maybe be related to all the problems that ipowerweb is currently having? I haven’t been migrated to the new platform yet, if that has anything to do with it. Thanks again!
Wow! OliverC — Thank you SO much for posting this solution. I’ve been on hold waiting for ipower tech support for 1 1/2 hours. I found your solution and decided to give it a try — it worked! THANKS — now I can hang up on ipower!!!
