OK – I think this will fit the need.
Thank you,
Greg

resolved – it wasn’t intuitive to go down further levels to install the theme… i think i have it now.

Hello JuliaSweet,

Did this ever get resolved for you? I’m thinking of using it but I’ve seen a couple of people reporting errors. I want to know there is light if things go dark.

TIA,
Greg

by the way – i reinstalled the WP core, deleted and reinstalled the theme – issue remains

that works!!! thank you so much for your time and help…

I looked at that misspelling several times and didn’t see/catch it.

Sincerely,
Greg

I’m sorry – the error with the code I placed in the above response is:

Fatal error: Call to a member function have_posts() on a non-object in /home/content/b/l/a/blackstarsurf/html/gsa/wp-content/themes/gsa/sidebar/sidebar-default.php on line 32

line 32 is:
while ($events_calender->have_posts()) : $events_calendar->the_post();

I received the following error:

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘}’ in /home/content/b/l/a/blackstarsurf/html/gsa/wp-content/themes/gsa/sidebar/sidebar-default.php on line 44

Here is the code I have pasted on the page:

Can you see what is incorrect?

Alright everyone – my NS account is now allowing the auto update.

Still not getting the Akismet plug-in to connect.

NS support said they are working on it.

just got off the phone with NS

1. They say the connection issue is a known problem and they are working to fix it. (They are having trouble connecting to WordPress)

2. They currently (NS) only support version WordPress 2.9.2

3. They know that Akismet is also no longer working and they are working to resolve this as well (since they are getting a lot of reports from people regarding an increase in spam comments)

I really am not happy with NS hosting and support.

i called NS today for support and they didn’t really help me. However, now that I see these posts, I believe it is really related to THEIR hosting service.

Probably based on the changes they did when their servers were hacked a few months ago via an FTP vulnerability.

Anyway, if someone can call support and work with them for a fix – it would be great!!

I can but not until tomorrow – maybe someone can do so more quickly?

I called up GoDaddy and we went through a lot of different things.

We ended up uninstalling and reinstalling – it works now.

Probably something got corrupted with the auto install initially.

When I did the WP upgrade yesterday – that did not help the sorting situation. Exact same issue occured.

Same issue when I switch themes – so is this pointing to a DB error?

How do i optimize the DB – and what it the “result” I am looking for by doing so.

I have another WP blog that is hosted on GoDaddy and it is working fine.
