so I proceded and and took out all the ../../wordpress/wp-includes/ where ever the parse error occured. Wasn’t too much, maybe around 10-15 lines, and it works now!!

yo tomontoast, you ‘da man, thanks bro!

Thank you for helping!!

ok, I replaced line 449 as instructed, now I get:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ‘.’ in /var/www/vhosts/duchessmarden.com/httpdocs/blog/wp-includes/user.php on line 450

I’ll give you the whole thing now:

446 function wp_dropdown_users( $args = ” ) {
447 global $wpdb;
448 $defaults = array(
449 ‘show_option_all’ => ”, ‘show_option_none’ => ”,
450 ‘orderby’../../wordpress/wp-includes/ => ‘display_name’, ‘order’../../wordpress/wp-includes/ => ‘ASC’,
451 ‘include’../../wordpress/wp-includes/ => ”, ‘exclude’ => ”, ‘multi’ => 0,
452 ‘show’ => ‘display_name’, ‘echo’ => 1,
453 ‘selected’ => 0, ‘name’ => ‘user’, ‘class’ => ”
454 );

From what you told me to do with line 449, I’m assuming I will have to do the same with line 450 and 451, take out the “../../wordpress/wp-includes/ =>” stuff.

Having taken out those wordpress comments from lines 450 and 451, I am now getting parse errors on other pages that have the wordpress/wp-includes/ stuff. Should I keep going and take all those out?

Thanks again!!

Hi Chris,

Thanks for the help, strange but, it seems to have worked itself out. It wasn’t working at first but now everything works fine, maybe I was too quick to complain and should have waited for things to ” catch up”.

For the record, this blog is hosted on Linux and I believe the .htaccess was updated, since it’s working now.

Thank you for your time!

ok:

449 ‘show_option_all’../../wordpress/wp-includes/ => ”, ‘show_option_none’../../wordpress/wp-includes/ => ”,

Hope that helps, thanks for helping out!

Regards

Christer

Neat, thanks!

Everyday I learn a little bit more, I appreciate the help.

Hello! I found the solution, I just took a footer.php file from the default WordPress template and overwrote the footer.php of the downloaded template. I can add anything I want now.

Thanks big time. By the way, can’t I just write my own footer.php so that I can add my link at the bottom? Or is it rooted more deeply than that?

Aw man, really? I had no idea I was doing the wrong thing by adding their link, I thought they were ‘good folks’ and I was trying to be helpful by providing where my template from. I apologize, I hope a moderater of the forum can remove the link.

Is there a better source for templates that I can do my own customization and add my credits to the list at the footer?

Thanks for the help

Wow, thanks. In like Flinn. You ‘da man!
