Hi again

I should have said, I meant using SCR for updating the database offline, then re-uploading it.

Your way is much easier though, I will update the post with my progress. It’s going to take a while to find every wrong character in 300-odd posts (-:

Thank you,

Hi,

Do you suppose it would be ok to use SCR to do the same replacement job? (SCR is software referenced here: https://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/move/ )

Thanks very much for the help.

Fixed.

Sorry for this, it actually came down to a problem in my .htaccess file.

I also got it fixed. My host restarted apache and mysql processes.

resolved….

Resolved: I only needed to clear the cache, sorry.

Ah ok, I really can’t help then. Sorry.

This is really easy

Using your FTP software, change the permissions setting for the ‘uploads’ folder, and all subsequent directories beneath it, to 777.

In Filezilla for example you simply right-click the folder ‘uploads’, type in ‘777’, and check the box which says ‘Recurse into subdirectories’.

This allows WordPress to write not just to the ‘uploads’ folder, but to create folders like ‘2009’, ’03’, ’04’, etc., and write to them too.

What problem do you have with the dashboard?

Please elaborate…

Thanks all for the input, and mrmist for raising the issue to WP.

Hopefuly will be fixed in 2.8, weird all the same.

I had the same problem, and the fix here works.

In summary:

1. Delete your tag with the same name.
2. Add the desired slug name to your category
3. Re-add the tag if needed

Hi LenK,

Thank you, the first fix worked a charm – I really appreciate the help.

There is also this plugin: advanced-excerpt, which does roughly the same thing (plus more), but the board concensus is that it is quite buggy. And with your method that is one less plugin to track.

Thanks again,

It’s okay, my above idea fixed things.

I opened index.php in a text editor and changed the offending line of code to read: “‘.em/wp-blog-header.php'” and thus all was fixed.

Thanks iridiax, I used the quick method and my admin panel is now restored!

The site is still dysfunctional though– I’m getting the following error:

require(./wp-blog-header.php) [function.require]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/earzmag/public_html/index.php on line 17

Fatal error: require() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘./wp-blog-header.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/earzmag/public_html/index.php on line 17

I suspect it would like to call ‘.em/wp-blog-header.php’ since ’em’ is the subdirectory where WP is installed and ‘public_html’ is the site index. But I’m only guessing. Could anyone help?

Thank you
