In reply to: Problem with ‘sYes. First of all do not write content in a word processor and then try to paste it directly into the WordPress post/page editor. If you must use a word processor to write text then always copy the text to the clipboard, paste it into Notepad (assuming that you use Windows – if not then some other plain text editor), THEN recopy it to the clipboard from the plain text editor and then paste it into the WordPress editor.
By doing that you’ll strip out all the wacky characters.
Or you could just load Firefox browser to write posts in WordPress since Firefox has a pretty good spell checker built right in 🙂

In reply to: Your php.ini upload_max_filesize is 16M.????Open up a text editor – if you use Windows then open Notepad (Start->Run then enter Notepad and press enter). Copy that code into Notepad, save it as some file name that ends in .php
Then upload it to your wp-content/plugins directory using a FTP client – then go activate it in WordPress and try to upload a file big file – something larger than 16MB.

In reply to: Localhost – can’t log in to adminIf you recently installed a new plugin then delete it – it might have a coding error in the form of a blank line at the top or bottom of the file. If not then maybe the problem is on line 11 of the fuctions.php file in your theme. Or maybe it’s another reason. Check the theme file first. Switch to a different theme and see if the problems goes away.

In reply to: Your php.ini upload_max_filesize is 16M.????Or try this code as a plugin. Copy it to a file in your plugins directory (something like php_adjustments.php) and the activate it in the Plugins section of the WordPress admin panel. Then try to upload a large file – who knows – it might work if your hosting company allows PHP settings to be overridden:
<?php /* Plugin Name: PHP Settings Plugin URI: http://wpsecurity.net Description: Attempts to set the max upload size and script timeout settings in the server's PHP config Author: Mark - WPSecurity.net Version: 1.0 Author URI: http://mpsecurity.net */ ini_set('upload_max_size','100M'); ini_set('post_max_size',105M'); ini_set('max_execution_time,'300'); ?>Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: I have F**ked things up pleaseee help!You need to adjust your .htaccess file probably. Do a search on the net for “WordPress in a subdirectory” and that ought to turn up some results. I don’t recall off the top of my head how to do that, but it’s possible and while I’ve done it I just don’t remember at the moment.

In reply to: I have F**ked things up pleaseee help!Copy this code below into a new file with a name something like “fixit.php” and put the file in your wordpress directory. Then load the file in your browser like this:
gymtraining.net/wordpress/fixit.php
<?php include('wp-config.php'); update_option('siteurl','http://gymtraining.net/wordpress'); ?>Then go back to your WordPress blog and it should be fixed. Then delete the file you created (fixit.php or whatever you name it)

Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: I have F**ked things up pleaseee help!You need to edit your database using phpMyAdmin or a similar tool, which hopefully your hosting company provides in their control panel somewhere or other.
Open your WordPress database, find the wp_options table, in the table find these two option names:
siteurl
homeLook at the option values. If either of them need to have /wordpress appended then edit the item and add that to the URL you see for the value. That ought to fix it.
Based on what you’ve said here I’d guess that your ‘home’ setting is fine and that what you should change (or at least try first) is the siteurl value – add /wordpress to that and it should start working again.

Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Sidebar Completely Dissapears when viewing in IEThe fix here is obviously to simply not use IE – I’m totally surprised that using Internet Explorer is not a major crime punishable by total banishment from the Internet. Here’s the last patch you’ll ever need for Internet Explorer in case any body needs it 🙂 Lol.
All joking aside, spacing and margin troubles are common with IE because Microsoft decided – as usual – to do things their way instead of the commonly accepted way.
So you’re left to adjust your theme to force it to work with IE. You might try opening your style.css file, find this (somewhere around line 379):
#sidebar { width:320px; }And reduce 320 to something like 310 or 305 and see if that maybe works. I’m speculating. If it doesn’t work then set it back to what it was.

In reply to: user name invalid – can use admin site but not user profileEdit your wp-config.php file to make sure it is pointing to your previous database – that would include db user, db password, db hostname, and db name.

In reply to: my screen is white – no blogYou need someone to have a look at your file and directory structure via FTP . So get someone with experience to do that for you – don’t post FTP access info here in the forum! (not that I think you would, but just in case….)

In reply to: 2.7 Automatic Plugin UpgradesJust do what I do: Pretend the feature was never added 🙂 It was bound to cause a lot of grief because whoever wrote that part of the WordPress code made a megaton of assumptions – and from what I’ve been told there won’t be much of any fix progress put into automatic upgrades until WP 2.9! Unless of course someone discovers a security hole in it. They’ll fix that pronto.
