It looks like it’s a problem with the 2010 theme. Chucked it, dropped in Kubrick, everything is ok.

As usually, thanks everybody for offering to help, I don’t know how I would have managed to fix any of my wp problems without the help of this forum.

Login in to your host account (control panel) replace the function.php in your theme’s folder with an older one from your last site backup (did you back up?)

I then deleted some .php and other wordpress files from cPanel and now get the following msgs)

What exactly did you delete? It sounds like you may have made a bad situation worst. Did you back up before upgrading?

Yes please, detailed instructions would be most helpful, thank you Andrea.

What they said!

…I’m finding it better to make my “own” luck. I discovered a solution on my own.

Try here as a backup forum: https://www.sitepoint.com/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=300
Large web design community and they have a dedicated wordpress section.

…just wondering, were you using a different database table prefix other than “wp_” in your old table? Did you remember to change it in the new database?

Hopefully others will come along who can help you a bit more.

I think plugins like CformsII or Formidable allow you to place comment fields anywhere you like on your site.

Also study your Single.php and do a CTRL + F find for comments and experiment with copying and pasting the code that calls comments on the pages you desire.

I’m sorry I don’t have the specific code to show since I removed it from my Single.php.

Hopefully someone will come along with better help for you.

I know this is an old post, but for anyone else who might be seeking the same solution, this plugin handles this function beautifully:

Ok, just figuring this out on my own (thanks community for alll the help </sarcasm>)

I will have to use search.php and and make a searchpage.php to show the results. I will load the plugin “search everything” to control what results are returned. I will create a page that just contains zip codes and I’ll exclude this from being listed in my navigation via the “exclude pages” plugin.

I’ll give this go and perhaps report back for the benefit of some other newbie who finds themselves struggling with a similar problem.

…Just thinking and reading while I wait for a smarter person to suggest a solution.

It looks like I will have to create a table just for zip codes in the wp database and then hack searchpage.php to deliver the messages I posted above. How I accomplish that I have no clue :\

“Any” help or suggestions are appreciated.

*Bumping*

I’m sure this is an easy task, I just don’t have an advanced knowledge of databases and how to us PHP to call data from them.
