everything up and running now (phew!)

ended up replacing the http.conf file with a different WP installation and the site seems works just fine.

back at it today and I’ve removed my WP install; re-created a .htaccess file with

DirectoryIndex index.php index.html index.htm

as ESMI suggested; chmod’d the .htaccess file 777 to allow WP write access; re-downloaded WP2.9.2 and installed this ‘fresh’ version overtop. still no success.

Different results than yesterday however. Now there isn’t anything showing up – no file listing index; no page style, no hello world, nada, nothing (even when checking the page source there’s nothing there). The dashboard is the same as before, functional but with no background. This is just weird!

TC123 – did you have success?

@esmi: thanks for the suggestion but I believe tc123 and I, have at root of everything, the same issue.

After installation, the “HTML” type page view is not available. There is a directory listing of what’s present (or as tc123 puts it: an ‘index page’, not to confused with index.php or index.html but ‘index’ as in a file-list or table of contents).

Continuing further from you earlier suggestions, I created a new .htaccess file and that has sorted out some issues, but not all. I’m starting to think that the WP 2.9.2 version I downloaded this morning, either does not have a correct .htaccess file, or for some reason or another my existing (if I had one) .htacess file was not modifiable by WP upon installation.

what I’m thinking is:
Delete everything > create a new .htaccess and chomd it to 777 > then re-install WP 2.9.2 over-top ??

BTW – i just tried the .htaccess suggestion, and although there is some improvement, the dashboard isn’t correct and index page looks like an html page circa 1992 – no page style (and yes I doubled checked that my browser is set to view page styles)

I’ve been having the same issue here. The Dashboard “half show up”… and by that there is some functionality, but no images and html pages.

Thoughts?

UPDATE:

I dug around a little further and found a plug-in which enables RSS feeds to be displayed nicely in the body of a WordPress page. Looks like this plug-in was updated a couple days ago;)

I’d call the situation resolved for the meantime, put enabling some code to call upon the already provided RSSwidget would certainly be appreciated.

Thanks for the suggestion, however adding the RSS feed into a text widget [using RSSImport code and shortcode] does not make it appear either. Granted, my target RSS feed itself may not be well structured for RSSimport – but it does verify using feedvalidator.org, and the built-in WordPress RSSWidget does fetch it correctly as well, so I have to assume this is possible!

One thing of note, I’m trying to display the RSS content on a ‘page’, not as a ‘post’, if that makes any difference.

Any suggestions on how to call up the RSSWidget code directly for the page?

Thanks,

Tim
