In reply to: Permissions Error on wp-admin.php, posts not foundMake sure your wordpress in /den is using the correct url – General-Settings-Wordpress address(url) should be kickstand.tv/den, Blog address (url) should also be kickstand.tv/den. You can also edit these in the database if you cannot access wp-admin.
Browse table wp_options – cell 1 siteurl – make sure it is set to kickstand.tv/den, cell 39 home – make sure it is set to kickstand.tv/den, finally i would adjust cell 60 upload_path to to kickstand.tv/den as well.

In reply to: Moving WP to new directoryYou have to browse the table not the structure, the first cell of the the table wp_options is labeled siteurl, click the little pencil to edit. Then go to cell 39 to change the home cell. You may need to adjust your upload_path in cell 60 as well.
Or use the script samboll linked to above..but i personally see it as bad practice to edit a .php document to edit a database…why not just edit the database..

In reply to: Moving WP to new directoryYou have to change your WordPress address (URL) and Blog address (URL) in Settings-General. However it is easiest to move the file structure and then edit the tables in the database. the url information is kept in the wp_options table in MySQL.

In reply to: Problem with using URL forwardingMake sure that your website is defined in Settings-General-Wordpress address (URL) and Settings-General-Blog address (URL).

In reply to: Permissions Error on wp-admin.php, posts not foundI had an error like this before which was caused by a bad .htaccess file – make sure you have these lines in your .htaccess
# BEGIN WordPress <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.php [L] </IfModule> # END WordPress

In reply to: Custom headerThe header is controlled by css id header – so go into your css and edit the line that says
#header
. You can add a background image by adding a line like this to your css#header {background:url(imagedirectory/image.jpg) no-repeat; height:100px; width:1000px;)
Adjust imagedirectory/image.jpg to the image you want and change the dimensions to fit the size of the image.

In reply to: Struggling with cell spacingYou could try
table.contactspace tr td {margin-right:30px;}
or html within the table<table class="contactspace" cellpadding="20" cellspacing="10">
Ultimately I would take the td for the form and put a class on it
<td class="column1">
and then style that individual classtable.contactspace tr td.column1 {margin-right:20px; padding-right:20px;}
something like that.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: How to add more line space in descriptionYou are probably applying it to the wrong class – I cannot say for sure but you could try to add line
.description p {line-height:18px;}
I recommend downloading https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/60 for firefox and then selecting the css -view style information (ctrl-shift-y) and highlighting the area of text you are trying to change. The tool will tell you the element id/class and which css document and line it lives on. Makes it much easier to identify css styling.

In reply to: Flexx ThemeWhat is your domain, which theme are you using? wordpress only lists pages in most default themes, this would be denoted by
<? wp_list_pages();>

In reply to: How to remove home icon from Mystique themeOkay heres the solution, go into your theme folder and open style.css, go to line 110 you will see this code
ul#navigation li a.home span.title{background:transparent url(images/icons.png) no-repeat 0px -756px;padding-left:22px;}
simply remove the background attribute so your new line would readul#navigation li a.home span.title{padding-left:22px;}
That should get ride of the little house icon next to home.

https://anchorwave.com/wp-content/uploads/AnchorPress.txt
Go to that url and copy the code into a .php file (you can do this with any text editor just make sure you save the file .php extension). Upload this file to an empty directory wherever you want to install and then navigate to it, ie https://emmarowettphotography.com/AnchorPress.php
This screen will prompt you to add your database information and then grabs the latest version of wordpress and installs. Let me know if you have questions.
