I saw that link which tells you to post this code:

<?php if (function_exists(‘sociable_html’)) {
echo sociable_html();
} ?>

anywhere in the template of your blog but it doesn’t specify WHICH template. I have a Revolution theme and clicking on the editor presents a host of templates (page template, index template, page blogger template, etc). I don’t want to guess which of the several templates I need to post this into. If someone could be more specific I will greatly appreciate it! This one works wonderfully and unlike another one I tried did not break my feature gallery plugin so I’m determined to make it work. I really want this to appear at the top. Thanks!!

Nevermind. I figured out what I did wrong. There are two NextGen Gallery items to activate: The NextGen Gallery and the NextGen Gallery Widget. I had only activated the widget. Hope this helps anyone else to learn from my mistake.

To clarify what I want – How do I resize the comment fields to take the size of the other default comments when posted from the main index page. (sorry I accidentally filed this under installation when it should be how to and troubleshooting).

I’m having the opposite problem that aprotector had. My comment field is too narrow, and I too want it to fit within the confines of the template’s middle column.

Here’s another funny thing – I inserted just as openpundit suggested the string <?php comments_template(); ?>
in the page.php file. Howerver although that worked and my pages are now able to receive comments, I just looked at that file again and the string is missing. Again, it’s working but the string disappeared.

Any help will be greatly appreciated.

whoami you rock!! I’m back in business now. I hadn’t gotten that far because of the other major road blocks.

Thanks again!!!!

“Never burn your bridges. You may have to cross them one day” (that’s for me by the way).

Okay. I see something I missed. Instead of copying the files I was moving them. I take it that the files need to be both in the wordpress directory AND the root directory, which for my web host is /public_html.

The good news is now the root address works, but now when I click on a page I get “page cannot be found”, but when I click on a catagory I get

“not found: The requested URL /category/special-comment/ was not found on this server.”

Sorry for not being clear on what I was after and thanks so far for the help.

Here is a copy of my .htaccess file:

# Use PHP5 as default
AddHandler application/x-httpd-php5 .php
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule ./wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

and here is my index.php file:

<?php
/* Short and sweet */
define(‘WP_USE_THEMES’, true);
require(‘../wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’);
?>

Can someone a little less condensending than whoami throw me a life saver? I’m drowning here.

whoami that’s where I started. It was those links that I used to come up with the idea to create a separate folder. If there is a specific part you can quote to tell me what I did wrong I’d appreciate it.

“WordPress allows you to install the WordPress files to a subdirectory, but have your blog exist in the site root.

That is from the first link and what lead me to believe I can do this. Again what am I missing? Something tells me I need to edit the index.php or the .htaccess file, but don’t quote me on that since I’m in no position to offer myself advice anymore which is why I turn to you.

Thanks again for the reply.

Thank you whoami for the quick reply. My goal is to have a separate folder to install wordpress without cluttering the root folder of my corner of the web server, which from what I read was a desirable option. I figured changing the blog or the wordpress addresses under general options wouldn’t do the trick, but was just trying to give more information to provide clues of what I’m facing.

Are you telling me I can’t create a separate wordpress folder to install and update versions of wordpress without changing my url to https://www.whatever.com/wordpress ?

Thanks again.
