maybe i have to adapt the .htaccess since i moved from crossroads-festival.org to 2012.crossroads-festival.org ?

as of now .htaccess looks like the default one should look:

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

# END WordPress

okay, i think i have set WP_SITEURL and WP_HOME correctly. this can be verified by looking at this screenshot: https://img266.imageshack.us/img266/5317/hoome.png

but my 2012.crossroads-festival.org wordpress-instance still uploads/updates plugins which are in https://crossroads-festival.org/wp-content/plugins and NOT in https://2012.crossroads-festival.org/wp-content/plugins

why?

or is this an indicator that both WP_SITEURL and WP_HOME are already set correctly?

it should be 2012.crossroads-festival.org

according to your link (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_The_Site_URL) it seems to be the best method to change WP_HOME via editing the wp-config.php. is there another way to do it? i dont have access to wp-config.php. i only have access to the DB via phpmyadmin. else i would have to ask the server-admin to edit wp-config.php accordingly.

since i only changed WP_SITEURL (via the DB) and have not heard about WP_HOME yet, this may be the error. i will keep you guys updated.

thx for the help!

i dont get it: the migrated wordpress shows that i have to install 9 updates. then i install the 9 updates, which works perfectly fine. but afterwards it STILL says that i have to install these 9 updates. so i think there is a discrepancy between where the wordpress backend is looking for the plugins and thus saying that i need 9 updates compared to the folder where the plugins are applied (successfully). can this have something to do with the FTP user i am using for applying the updates? because this is the same FTP user i am using for the other wordpress instance.

NOT resolved anymore. sorry for the confusion.

oh i think that was my bad. i was confusing many browser tabs! everything works as it should.

EDIT: i still have the problem as described in the OP!
another example: i updated my old-wordpress to 3.5.1. it said “upgraded successfully” but my old-wp still had version 3.4.1 which was higly confusing. then i logged on to my new-wp and it suddenly had 3.5.1. even though i did not update it! so the update from the old-wp somehow was done in the folder structure of the new-wp. any help? the folder-structure somehow must be wrong

thx ??

okay. i am aware of these functions because i do display the posts of my news-category already in the main content area. i just dont know how i can do this in a sidebar-widget, since the php-code gets commented when i view the source code after loading my page.

do i need something special to be able to run php-code in the sidebar widget to get this to work?

thx already!

hm under which circumstances does this lead to problems?

i have a NEWS section. but by default, the news posts are not shown on the frontpage, because another info-page is the start-page. at the same time I want the users to be able to see if there were NEWS posted. I realized that by adding the RSS feed in the sidebar. is there any other solution?

btw: Now I know what my problem was. i still had the “under construction” plugin activated and therefore my site was not available.. when i deactivated this plugin, the rss feeds in the sidebar worked…

please help me with the question, i asked in this post (see above).

my BAD!

in the format i had one </div> too much….

in sociable.php i had to change
$permalink = urlencode(get_permalink($post->ID));
to
$permalink = get_permalink($post->ID);

dont know why… but then it worked. i hope the deletion of ‘urlencode’ has no other (negative) effects.
