indranil: Not sure if you figured this out or not but I will respond anyway for future reference:
You replace the first part with whatever url you would like to access the page by
for example:
RewriteRule /news/ ^index\.php [R=301,L]
would point the url: https://www.example.com/news/ to index.php

One thing to note is that your chosen schema for permalinks has a strong possiblity of not resulting in a unique link.
As time goes by it might become frustrating to need unique post titles for every single entry ever made.
I would suggest adding something like the date to your permalinks schema
ie
/%day%/%postname%/

When does a ‘template’ you took from someone else become your own?
It seems pretty obvious to me that site is a test

Oh god- please change your database password IMMEDIATELY!

they were working on the database server earlier

do you have access to phpmyadmin?
Can you give some more details about what you have done?
A link to the site?

print.css is a simplified layout that creates a ‘print friendly’ page when a user prints something from the site

edit wp-includes/wp-db.php
Find the part that says:
// DB Constructor - connects to the server and selects a database
function wpdb($dbuser, $dbpassword, $dbname, $dbhost) {
$this->dbh = @mysql_connect($dbhost,$dbuser,$dbpassword);
if (!$this->dbh) {
You will see the text that is displayed on a database error- change it to whatever you like
die(“<div>

Moshu:
Do you use linksky?
Their prices seem pretty good- Especially the Ultra- how is the uptime? Any problems with them?

If you compare https://www.adailyadventure.com/journal/ with https://www.adailyadventure.com/journal/posts-cats.php You will see the solution in action: This is my edited ‘content’ file
<?php include ('wp-includes/header.php') ?>
<?php if ($posts) : foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
<?php if (! in_category(9)):?>
CHANGE THE NUMBER IN PARENTHESIS TO THE CATEGORY YOU DO NOT WANT DISPLAYED
<?php the_date('','<h2>','</h2>'); ?>
<div class="post">
<h3 class="storytitle" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<div class="storycontent">
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
<!--
<?php trackback_rdf(); ?>
-->

<div class="feedback">
<div class="CommentNumber">"><?php comments_number(); ?></div>">Leave a Comment</div>
</div>
Add the below ENDIF statement

<?php endif;?>
<?php endforeach; else: ?>
<?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<div id="pagination"><?php posts_nav_link() ?></div>
<?php include ('wp-includes/footer.php') ?>

oh- you can use the same basic idea.. an if statement which excludes the category you want not displayed..
I can help more when i get home from work

actually scratch that previous answer this SHOULD work-
<?php if ($posts) : foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
<?php the_date('','<h2>','</h2>'); ?>

<?php $postid = the_ID();
if ($postid != theidyoudontwanttodisplay) ?>
<div class="post">
<h3 class="storytitle" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link: <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></h3>
<div class="storycontent">
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
<!--
<?php trackback_rdf(); ?>
-->

<div class="feedback">
<div class="CommentNumber">"><?php comments_number(); ?></div>">Leave a Comment</div>
</div>
<?php endif ?>

An if statement such as this:

<?php if ($posts and postID != postyoudonotwanttoappear) : foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>
That exact code will not work- but that is the basic idea of what you want to do

t-mo: That is pretty far off the topic of this thread, I suggest making a new thread with your question
