Or, can someone tell me how to access automattic’s support? I’m not finding it on their website.

Anybody?

I finally found the elusive “portfolio” name. It was in the .htaccess file, which I needed to fix for another glitch.

To do so: I went into my ftp program (in my case Dreamweaver), revealed my hidden files and found the .htaccess. I actually had to do a search for it because it doesn’t show up.

Then I replaced all the contents in this file with the following, which is listed here, under “creating and editing .htaccess.”

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

In my case, “blog” is the new name of my WP file folder and replaces the old “portfolio.”

I think I’ve got mine fixed. I went into my ftp program (in my case Dreamweaver), revealed my hidden files and found the .htaccess. I actually had to do a search for it because it doesn’t show up.

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /blog/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /blog/index.php [L]
</IfModule>
# END WordPress

In my case, “blog” is the name of my WP file folder.

Doing this solved another issue as well. See this post. I finally found an elusive folder name that didn’t get changed in a search/replace.

All in all the Codex directions are a little hard to understand for the basic WP user. The directions tell you what to do, but fail to tell how to do it or where to find the necessary files. I can see where this issue is causing confusion for some.

Seems like it. Yes. But apparently it’s not. When I make any changes in header.php it only affects the homepage header. It does not affect the subpages.

Diane, you’re right. There obviously are two headers set up. Do you know how/where I can find the subpage header?

Here’s my blog.

This mixup happened when I changed the name of my URL from “…/portfolio/” to “…/blog/.” This meant I had to change the the name of the WP folder. I used the Search/Replace plugin to find all the “portfolios” and replace them with “blog.” This actually worked pretty swift.

However, there’s this one last portfolio hanging in there somewhere and I can’t seem to find it. I’ve removed the header photo and then put it back in. I’ve taken out the link and put it back in. But these changes only affect the homepage. The subpage hearder seems to be working from somewhere else.

I’ve checked the subpage URLs. They use “blog.” However, the header does not. When I click on it, it takes me back to a “portfolio” URL.

anyone have any ideas?

anybody have any ideas?

Thanks Taylorde for your diligence in trying to help me. I’m at a total loss. I did a search for “portfolio” through the whole blog file and it came up with nothing.

I also deleted and reinstalled the header but it only affected the homepage. The subpages still had their header. Ach. I’m going to post this as a separate question.

Thanks for your help otherwise. I’ll consider my search/replace question resolved.

Yep, that’s what I’m asking. Where do I need to change the code? I already changed it in the header.php but there must be somewhere else I need to as well.

On the other hand your Search and Replace plugin is a charm! It worked so easily. After installing the plugin, you can make changes right from WP Settings. Thanks so much!

Now I just need to fix that header and I’m set. This turned out to be an all day thing. But it’s coming now, thanks to you!

Thanks Taylode for the plugin suggestion. I’ll give it a try.

As for my header, yep, it’s there. But when you click on it, it doesn’t take you back to the home page. It takes you back to “portfolio.”

Okay, it looks like I have to answer my own question here:-) Which I’ve done, of sorts.

I figured out that if I delete the segment of code that comes with inserting the image, thus leaving just the <img class> segment, my border coding is applied.

But this gets tedious to manually have to do all the time. Is there a way to insert the image without it applying an ? Why does it do that?

Here’s a link, by the way

I’d like a border around any photo that doesn’t have a white background, which is most of them.
