WordPress 1.5 “New Pages”

I upgraded from 1.2.2… but is it not working because i need to do a fresh install? If so how do I backup the categories and posts?

I can tell you that you don’t need a clean install… but unfortunately can’t help you further. ??

yeah… i have no clue what to do.

What is your url? You can usually get help easier if we can see it in action.

Sorry I thought about that after I posted but couldnt edit the post.

Well this might work for you guys, it certainly worked for me.

I had the same problem but then looked at the page with another theme. Of course I had created a php file to call upon, as I don’t know how these “Pages” work, and I don’t think they’re very easy to use – and apparently you can’t search them either!

Anyway, here’s the code I used, but try it without the divs, and see if it works, I added them just to be double certain because frankly I have no idea what I’m doing:

< ?php /*
Template Name: About
*/
? >

< ?php include “header.php”; ?>
< br />
< div id=”wrapper”>
< div id=”insidewrapper”>
< div class=”post”>
< h2>About me< /h2>
This is where you can type text about yourself.
< ?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
< ?php the_content(); ?>
< ?php endwhile; endif; ?>
< /div>
< /div>
< /div>
< br />
< ?php include “footer.php”; ?>

I’ve added spaces at the start and end of all of these so just remove the spaces before putting them into a file called whatever.php (whatever being the page name that you want).

Then in pages you will see default template. Select the php file and name it whatever the name of the PHP file is and enter some content.

Give it a shot – it works for me, hope it works for you to. I’m not sure about just clicking pages to display anything, there seems something wrong there as it doesn’t work for me, or some of you. Perhaps it works for everyone else?

If anyone can translate that into English, it would be most welcome. I don’t code much of it is jargon

I will give it a try… however Is it not working like it should because of .htaccess? Just seems like more of pain to go that way.

it seems to be htaccess from what I read – and that would probably solve your problem, just CHMOD it to 666 and if that doesn’t work try 777. if it’s set to auto add the permalinks (that is if your htaccess file can be written to) then you won’t have to do anything and it should work. Without the write permission you will need to update your htaccess file manually. I still don’t fully understand but that’s my limited scope of it. You could always talk to your host to make it writeable at 666.

Good luck

I don’t seem to be able to change the chmod of the file. Its at 2775 or -w- rwx rwx r-x. So does this mean its not going to work? Sorry First time unix user… I’m so used to Microsoft servers.
