Beautiful! Took care of the Warning messages (updated cforms too) and I can log out now.

Still having the SQL error though. Should I make a new post, since it’s not really on topic? Thanks!

Definitely getting there! This has taken care of step 2.

However, now some odd things are happening. I successfully logged out between activating the theme and then uploading the plug-ins, but when I tried to log out after activating them, I got the following message:

Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/tekni2/public_html/wp-content/plugins/cforms2/cforms.php:2) in /home/tekni2/public_html/wp-login.php on line 302 […]

That repeated for 17 different line numbers.

So I thought, fine, I’ll try to update the database and see what happens. I went in through phpMyAdmin as described at https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup
and I got the following error there: #1044 – Access denied for user ‘[username]’@’localhost’ to database ‘wordpress’

Any thoughts on those? Thanks again!

Make sure you’ve got files loaded in proper place, check permissions.

Okay — in the proper place for sure. Do the permissions need to be 777? And for which files specifically? I also saw something about the .htaccess file; do I need to check anything there?

As for the rest, yes done all of that, thanks!

Yep, they’re uploaded but I can’t find them in the dashboard.

But is that all I needed to do before moving the DB? I guess I just wanted to make sure I wasn’t doing anything in the wrong order.

Thank you sir!

Hmm. I DO have this functionality on my site — after I log in and visit the site, there’s an “Edit this entry.” text link at the bottom of the page.

But I’m not sure if this comes from the theme, or the fact that I’m not on a blog page, or what.

WP version 2.9.1, BTW.

Hello!

Sorry, I didn’t realize that comments would be parsed within . Seems like it defeats the purpose (but I'll take that up with w3.org, not WP).

Anyhow, when I said:

I suspect the issue is that for some reason, the HTML tab isn't behaving, and is substituting – for the -- that precedes the end of the comment. In desperation, I've tried using --> instead, but that doesn't seem to work anywhere, let alone in WP.

That got parsed as well, what I meant is that I'd tried & #45; & #45; > instead of -->.

As for “even” validating the page — no, I didn’t, because the code that I was entering was fairly simple. As far as I can see, the problem seems to be the WP html tab (perhaps in conjunction with the theme; I’m not sure) — as evidenced by the fact that it’s changing -- into & #8211 on its own.

Also — please understand that the only reason I have those three treatments on that page are for demonstration purposes; ALL I want to do is comment out several links.

Here’s a new link for the sample page, because I need to change the first link (initial post) back to the way it should look:

Thanks alchymyth — found it. FYI, for anyone else reading this in the future, the Appearance Editor defaults to rtl.css, but style.rss is at the bottom of the right-hand column: Theme Styles.

Oh, it says “Search www.ads-software.com” so I thought its results would be too general. Should’ve tried it. Mea culpa.

Okay, I saw the comments about "0BB 020", which I couldn’t find, but I was looking in rtl.css not style.css — can I get to style csss from within the Dashboard?

Thanks for the super-quick response.

FANTASTIC. Thanks rudolf45 — without your comment I wouldn’t have gotten it fixed OR understood why the fixes I was trying weren’t working.

Macsoft3 was right, but I HAD been working on the style.css file, but without understanding what I was doing. And thanks for the help anyway, Pinoy.ca — without your initial comment I would have given up on finding help in the forums (no offense to everyone else).

Resolved!

Thanks so much — no luck in function.php so I’ll go hunting. Many thanks again!

Hello? Any help?
