In reply to: Why can’t I upload any pictures on my blog?Hello, Ann-Sofies.
If your blog runs on Linux and you have access to the control panel, I would suggest trying to change the read-write-execute file permissions for your uploads folder TEMPORARILY.That’s typically this folder: wp-content/uploads. It’s probably set to something really restrictive like 555 or 644. Try setting it to 755 or even 777. Hopefully your host provider has some guidance on changing settings. I live in the US so I don’t know how your cPanel might look. Sorry.
With the file permissions set to 755 (or 777), try uploading your images via WP. When you’re done change it back to the restrictive default. Don’t ever leave the file permissions set to 755 or 777 for long.

In reply to: wordpress 3 – custom menusI’ve been able to get the menus to appear individually with this code in the header.php
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'primary-menu' )); ?>
or
<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'theme_location' => 'secondary-menu' )); ?>
but I can’t make a drop down menu. How should I tweak it so that the secondary-menu appear on hover?

In reply to: Sidebar pushed down on single post pageYes, that extra </div> in the single.php was the culprit. Thanks DigitalMcGrath.

In reply to: Read more links not workingForum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Read more links not workingI have the same issue. There is a link but it goes nowhere. Although the URL ends with /#more-147.
Here’s the code:
<?php global $more; $more = false; ?> <?php $more = 0; ?> <?php the_content(' Continue reading '.get_the_title()); ?> <?php $more = true; ?>

In reply to: Linked images in sidebar not clickableWow, didn’t realize I had so many errors. Most of them have to do with the youtube video and the embedded flash movie on the home page.
I changed the doctype to Transitional/loose and that reduced many of the errors. But the images/links in the side bar on the home are still not clickable.
I can’t remove the video or the flash. Any other ideas to solve this problem?

In reply to: Custom Fields to set background imgsEach of the 3 divs there brings in content from a different category.
Here it is:
<div class="box<?php echo $end; ?>"> <?php query_posts('cat=' . $val); if (have_posts()) : $first = true; while (have_posts()) : the_post(); if ($first) : $first = false; ?> <p><?php ob_start(); the_excerpt(); echo dp_clean(ob_get_clean(), 140); ?></p> <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" class="readmore"> </a> <ul> <?php else: ?> <li><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></li> <?php endif; endwhile; ?> </ul> <?php endif; ?> </div>
Is this overkill?
