In reply to: QuickCache not working, permission issuesSome servers need more relaxed permissions. Try 766. If that doesn’t work, try 767. If neither of those work, you may have to use 777, but that is not recommended for security reasons (https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Changing_File_Permissions#The_dangers_of_777).

In reply to: Problems with taxonomy term clashesHi nicole,
There is a list of reserved terms here:

I am having this same problem. I need to use a variable as the shortcode argument, but could not even get do_shortcode() to work using the same exact shortcode that works when entered into a post.

Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Understanding templates in wordpressWordPress has page naming conventions that are the same across themes, including the pages you mentioned. Adding the comment makes your custom page template available as an option when you are writing a page through the WordPress admin interface. There are more ways to name pages that WordPress will know about without having to use the comment. You can see what they are and how they work here:

In reply to: How do I indent a group of textYou can do something like this:
<h2 style="text-align:center">Title</h2> <div style="text-align:left;"> <ul id="id"> <li>List item 1</li> <li>List item 2</li> <li>List item 3</li> <li>List item 4</li> </ul> <p>Some more left aligned text.</p> </div>If your default text is already aligned left, you can leave out the
style="text-align:left;"part.If you do this a lot, you can define a css class instead of using inline styles, for example:
.center { text-align: center; } <h2 class="center">Title</h2>Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Understanding templates in wordpressYou can see the comments on the Themes page in the admin area. They let WordPress know about the theme and display it on the themes list so you can activate it.
Same thing here. After I create a new page, home page is redirected to it until I delete the new redirection from the Modified Posts group.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Total noob here…please help with file accessAre you sure you are looking at the files for the correct theme? There is a dropdown menu on the edit themes page that lists installed themes. Should be the same file you would get by ftp download unless the styles are coming from somewhere else like a plugin or parent theme. You can override those styles by adding them to your theme stylesheet. If it doesn’t work, try using more specific css declarations than the originals.
For FTP download, theme files are here:
your_wordpress_root_folder/wp-content/themes/your_theme_name/Only images uploaded through WordPress will be in the media library. Theme images are most likely in an ‘images’ folder inside of the theme folder.
Hope that helps.
Create a new page and leave it blank except for a title. Then go to Settings -> Reading in your admin panel and select the page you want to be your main post page in the dropdown menu for ‘Posts page’.
