In reply to: how to disable commentsI did the same for a slideshow featured section – template “featured.php”

In reply to: how to disable commentsHi lewistang,
I’m no WordPress expert but here is how I fixed it:
In Main Index Template section:
<div class="postBottom"> <small> <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="" class="comments" style="float: left;"><?php comments_number('', '1 Comment', '% Comments' );?></a> <a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>" class="more" style="float: right;">Read More...</a> </small> </div>
I removed:
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="" class="comments" style="float: left;"><?php comments_number('', '1 Comment', '% Comments' );?></a>
This got rid of the “0 Comments”

In reply to: timthumbI carefully compared the site with a backup and determined that no script was different and all folders and permissions are correct. I can only conclude that there is something wrong with the host.
I decided to go with https://www.rochen.com. They specialize in open source CMS. I decided the best way to find a replacement was to start on the 25th page of google search results for “WordPress hosting” because the first 10 pages were obvious spam.

In reply to: Had two subfolder WP installs – moved one to root – wierdnessI just went to a machine that has never browsed to either site and typed in https://www.dcsgroupllc.com/?page_id=3. It’s got to be some DNS issue with this network

In reply to: Had two subfolder WP installs – moved one to root – wierdnessI did edit both urls. People tend to go to one or the other so for the time being I’m removing the links that take you from one to the other. If you don’t visit the subfolder site you don’t get the issue when navigating around the root site.
If I visit the subfolder site and then return to the main site and click on the link for a static page in the URL of the browser it’s pointing to the root level such as https://www.dcsgroupllc.com/?page_id=3 but it goes to the subfolder 1.5 wordpress and tells me “sorry no posts matched your criteria”

In reply to: Need Help! Timthumb.php not workingI discovered a comment response by the author of cleanPRESS that worked. He suggested placing the image first in an images folder and then add a custom field to the post called thumbs with a value being the /yourimagepath/image_name.ext for example wp-content/images/testimage.jpg
That works for me.

In reply to: Need Help! Timthumb.php not workingI’m trying to get a theme named cleanPRESS working on my WebHost4Life windows server host. It uses timthumb. I tried creating the year/month folders under wp-content/uploads thinking that folder creation was the stumbling block but it still complains that it can’t create the folder.
When I use Live Writer it’s able to to post pictures because it tested to see if the server had permissions to create folders – when it didn’t it asked for my ftp credentials which it uses to create a folder for each post under wp-images.
So I’m good to go except timthumb.php doesn’t work. I’ve seen some suggestions to replace a block of code in it but it didn’t work for me.
Thanks

In reply to: li with indented subcategories – firefox vs ie6Now I’ve figured out that I had some typos such as forgetting to camel one of the section names in my HTML to match the CSS. Its almost there
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: li with indented subcategories – firefox vs ie6I found out about using !important to control things like the difference in margin between the two browsers. One thing I forgot to ask about is why my list has no space at the bottom in IE6.
