PS: when I change the “siteurl” in phpmyadmin to the domain name, I get logged out when I navigate to any new page within WP admin.

If your web host has a c panel (control panel) of some sort that lets you install web apps such as wordpress through a software add app (this is sometimes referred to as a script library), such as Fantastico, just use that and update WordPress after it has been installed. If you do not do this, you need to create a data base for wordpress to store it’s info into, and have the data base info available when you install wordpress as your site.

The cgi-bin is where files with special permissions are kept. As a newbie you will probably not be doing anything with that folder. The htdocs folder is the folder where all of your site files and folders go. Inside this is the folder where your wordpress files will need to end up.

If you know how to get to the app that lets you manage files in your site management area, at your web host page, then upload the zip file into the htdocs folder, and use the manage files app to unzip it right in the htdocs folder (this is faster and less likely to end up with corrupted files). Otherwise, unzip the zip folder on your computer, and upload the contents of the unzipped folder into the htdocs folder.

Note that if you unzip the zipped file in the htdocs folder it will be unzipped into another folder called wordpress. If you leave everything in that folder, then you will need to add /wordpress to the url to get to it. Ohterwise you need to cut all of the files and folders that are inside the wordpress folder and paste them directly into the htdocs folder.

The theme folder needs to end up in the themes folder (htdocs > wp-content > themes)

Once the files and folders are in the htdocs folder, go to your url and the worpress setup wizard should start automatically.

As mentioned earlier, you will need to install a database for wordpress to use, and you will need the data base name and password when you install wordpress. The setup wizard will recognize that a data base is not set in it’s files and will ask you for that info.

Hope that helps.

Thanks for the quick response Rich. I also was able to determine that the generic wordpress folder was created today, and obviously the wordpress081610 folder is from last month. Again, I appreciate your help.

Which css did you edit? Sidebar Login has its own style.css in its plugin folder. Changing the float location of the .avatar_container works for me.

And the winner (or is that looser) is:

Of my 34 plugins, iredlof-ajax-login-plugin is the one that was causing the problem. I have reported this in the Extend > Plugins and Plugins and Hacks sections of this site.

esmi, thanks again for your help.

Thank you esmi. Deactivating all plugings solved the problem. I’m ashamed of myself for not trying that. When I find the bugger, I’ll report back.

Thanks Mike; it would be good if it were explicitly stated that the Link Order widget needs to be placed in a sidebar for it all to work. I missed that at first.

What a great plugin.

Wow, thanks for your quick response Sayontan. Yes, that clarified everything. The templates are for use with pages… of course!

I had every possible option selected when I created the page, and, needless to say, it was quite full. I will have a great time playing with it.

And as resistanceisfruitful pointed out on your forum page (linked above), it can then be made the homepage; which answered my next question… having categories set as my navigation, there was no actual Home link on the nav bar (of course you can click the title in the banner but…). So I assume if I set the nav bar to put one tab up for pages, and direct it to the magazine page it will then display as a Homepage link on the nav bar ??

Now my question is, if I title the magazine page “index” will it be picked up as the home page of the website url, or will the php main wordpress homepage override that?

Ahhh, so much to learn.

Your awesome Sayontan, I wish you the best of luck, and much success; and will kick something back to you if I ever start to make any money off this web stuff. You have made it a much easier experience.

And I echo what resistanceisfruitful said above, it is hardly like me to lavish this much praise on anything.

This is a superb theme with all of the versatility that is made available through the various options. I have had a great deal of fun finding what works for me.

The only thing that I have had a problem with is the magazine template. Nothing I do with it changes the page at all. I have tried many various combinations of settings, but the page remains the same (very nice) blog page.

Other then that, my compliments on a wonderfully designed theme. Thank you very much sayontan for making it available.

When pasted the url of the video into my post using the WordPress 2.9 default text editor, the video displayed to the left of the post window. (note: this is a feature of WordPress 2.9, and does not work with the other plugin editors I have tried)

When I pasted the code below into the html, the text of the url was displayed without the video. (This is because the auto implant of a url only works in visual mode)

<div style=”text-align: center;”>Video URL:</div>

What worked was when I pasted the embed code that is displayed to the right of all youtube videos into the code where the url was. This inserts an object into the code and worked beautifully for me.

THIS WORKS!

<div style=”text-align: center;”>EMBED CODE</div>

PS: This is actually a server alias that is assigned at the time the db is create, so the user needs to be aware that this is happening ??
