thanks esmi, had a look at that thread and not sure that I follow there appears to be a few different issues that users have had to deal with.
In my case it was a brand new install of 2.8 via cp addon scripts (my host cpanel doesn’t have fantastico)and I’m unable to do anything with it because if I try to go to find a theme I’m shown the upgrade to 3.0 bar and then I get the “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page”

So I’m not sure if the issue could be a file didn’t load properly on the install or from other threads a possibility of issues with the hosting co’s settings?

I will try to uninstall and re install WP again – any thoughts?

Further to that I am seeing the permissions message via the following URL https://202.174.104.45/~wwwelit/wordpress/wp-admin/update-core.php

Anybody had experience with this?

Many thanks for the help

I have a bad feeling that pages and posts may be located on the server database rather than in the wordpress files – Can anyone confirm this for me?

Have managed so far to activate the theme but can not get existing posts and pages.
Can anyone tell me where these are located so I can see if they have loaded into the new file structure?

oops shouldn’t have done that – I followed the prompt and completed the install and now the browser shows a clean install blog.

When I check the files with the FTP my uploaded files are all in place however the install doesn’t seem to call them up.

any ideas?

thanks,
Craig

well I guess i have some error when a certain theme is combined with the all in one SEO not sure how it is created but i have a theme that works now will look for one that suits my purpose better.

Will close this one off.

ok I take that back. I added key words etc. for the all in one SEO plugin and now I am getting the same error. just deleting the text in the keyword boxes etc. doesn’t solve the problem so i’m back to where I was ??

sorry whooami, I’ll get my act together. https://www.loanchecker.com.au/westpac-error-checking

Think I’ve found the problem if not the solution – I changed themes and the problem went away. Don’t know if this is a common issue but guess I’ll just have to try a few different themes until i get one that works and that I like. I assume thats they way you go about it.

Seems like with a lot of themes they appear ok but when you try to validate the code there are errors. is it normal to report these back to the theme developer?

Cheers

Had a further play with this and found that it must be theme related. I changed themes ( away from wordpress default) and the database error is gone and on top of that it validates as compliant xhtml which is what start this in the begining.

So from that i would assume there is either a code error in the original wordpress theme or an error during install in the theme area.

thanks heaps for you help guys. I’m going to find another theme I can work with and go from there.

Hi Dianne, thanks heaps for your help, I’ve progressed a bit with this one and put in a new topic:

wordpress XHTML not compliant??

Looks life I have some sort of databse error throwing this up. if you get a chance please feel free to look at this other thread.
Cheers,
Craig

ok thanks for assist, as the risk of being an idiot where to I find and correct this php issue.

By the wayare these comments all out of their widow for you as well or is just my view of them.

Thanks for that, the databse error seems like a good place to start. I’m new to this so sorry if I appear stupid.

Assume I will have to go into the database files on my server and try to locate the code with the error?

Is that right.

Sure thanks for you help I’ve set up a text only page to work through the issues and changed back to default theme as some errors where related to the theme I was using. So the page I’m trying to validate is
https://www.loanchecker.com.au/westpac-error-checking

Using validator
https://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.loanchecker.com.au%2Fwestpac-error-checking&charset=%28detect+automatically%29&doctype=Inline&ss=1&group=0

Thanks heaps for looking at this, I’m on a real steep learning curve with this ??

Ok done a lot more reading and playing around but haven’t really progressed. With validator I can see the supposed xhtml issues on their page however I don’t see some of these peices of code when in wordpress to edit the post for example the validator tells me that </p> is missing however the > however I can’t see this code in the edit screen. Is there a setting somewhere that allows me to see all code in a post?
