I also recently got this error on our godaddy site.

There have been no changes to our site in several weeks (no upgrades, no plug in’s, nothing) so it must be them.

Code does not rot.

Time to find another providor.

If you want to troubleshoot slow loading times, check out the firefox plugin ‘yslow’ it really helped me on my sites.

best of luck

Welcome Kelly/Gregg.

The short answer:

From the admin page look for categories in the posts menu.
Add you categories there.
Then add new post from the posts menu. Write your content.
Select what categories that post is in (on the right hand side of the screen).

Some people spent a lot of time on this very good quality documentation. It will give you a huge jump on things by taking advantage of this great free resource.

good luck out there!

Go to the ‘extend’ there are plugins there.

Do a search on subscirbe or email.

you will find tons.

I did a lot of research on this for my site, and eventually settled on mailpress.

It is here in the plugin directory.

Yes, but this is usually handled by the theme, and not a plugin.

Its css code to support it, try looking in the theme forums, or on the support page for your theme.

So, is that solved? If so, please post, I am sure others could use the info.

I would personally venture to guess you would want to create a rss feed of ‘new posts’ from your forums, and pipe that into an rss reader plugin (there are TONS) for wp.

my 2 cents.

Personally, I love the plugin by alex king, Twitter Tools.

A few ways you could make a tweet page:

Use a page template, and put his template tag in it (see docs).
Use a page template that supports widgets, use his wiedget feature, combined with widget logic plugin.

Best of luck!

Here is what I did:

Installed wp into a subdirectory.
(I used /wp but make it whatever you want).

Fully set up and configure.

Then set up wp to execute from root (you copy the index.php to root, and change a few settings, its easy and works great).

Hey there!

A link to your actual site would help some folks to give better advice, but this is a great place to start:

Also, the wordpress start page MUST be its index.php

best of luck, and post more info if the link above does not answer all your questions!

Also, you might want to list the url of your blog, so we can look at your posts, to get a better idea of what you are trying to organize.

~Dpak

you can install wordpress in a subdirectory, and no, you do not create a subfolder in mysql, its a new database.

Just put a link to the new wordpress blog on your main site.

I suggest you check on all the install info here, its very good, and will answer most questions.

best of luck and good blogging!!!

~ Dpak

I think you can insert it as a link in the post.
But instead of linking to an external site, just link back into your blog.

I think you can add an url to a image, but have not done it yet on my site. I hope this helps, but am not sure.

~ Dpak

I did this. I created a seperate install (diff database as well) in another directory, for testing and messing with themes.

I exported my existing wp content to the new one (had to add a few images) so I could have a mix of content to work with.

Worked great!

Best of luck!

I dont know much about your theme, but if you cant get it working, then I would suggest you take a look at the themes at https://themehybrid.com/ ~ they have some child themes (you would need to read up on them first) that are really easy to use features with.

best of luck!

~ Dpak

I did this (made it a cms, but put into a subdirectory).

However, I would not call it ‘wordpress’ as that will be visible in your url. I called mine ‘wp’. Or call it wordpress if you dont care.

This is fairly easy to do, check out:
