In reply to: Move header background flush on left sidealchymyth… the “header” you can’t find is located somewhere in the middle of that css jungle. (Firefox find-function to the rescue, LOL)
Still I think this question/problem/whatever rather belongs in the “Themes and Templates” section of this forum. But I agree on the pastebin tip. ??

In reply to: Confirmation on japanese fonts issueBtw.: the config file you are looking for is called “wp-config.php” and should be located in your website base directory (the root).

In reply to: Confirmation on japanese fonts issueHeya… just a quick idea, but I’ve had similar issues with other languages producing the same ignorant question marks.
Make sure your theme is UTF-8 too! At least the “header.php” should be saved as a “utf-8” file. You can do that easy on a PC with notepad or something alike.
Check that theme! For me, saving all theme files as utf-8 works wonders when ot comes to special characters like “?ü??éè” and especially “電子寿司”. ??

In reply to: Issue with media uploads after updating databaseCan I please get some input?
Well, yes you can! Just remember that this is a forum and I’m just a regular user like you… helping a stranger if I find some time to. ??
Now, back to your database question(s).
Stuff like
\"jam session\"
is pretty normal.Those “slashes” come from PHP/MySQL. This has to do with the database itself and it’s safety. There are a few characters that are considered “safer” if they are stored with that slash. I’ll skip the technical stuff so I won’t confuse you too much.
Anyway, if you see
\"
or\'
in your database… don’t touch it… I repeat: leave those slashes alone. Only fix them links (aka urls), that’s all.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Help! Need ability to upload large video flv files to my siteYou could (and looking at the huge filesizes you actually should) upload those videos using an FTP program into the “uploads” folder or wherever you think they belong.
Btw.: Hope you’ve got enough bandwidth if visitors come and watch them?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WordPress is leaving sales messages on my site?I’ll second the answer by Ipstenu… it’s a simple trackback.
Seems this issue is resolved then. (why not close it?)Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: site in Internet Explorer is weirdYou’re getting me wrong. I’m not stepping on your toes here, but only saying you should read what I’m writing. For the last time: XHTML/CSS probs like yours are better of here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/forum/5 (= “Themes and Templates”) since you’ll have a better chance there to have your problems solved.
It’s the same forum as you can see, only the “I’ve got XHTML/CSS questions” corner. ??
P.S.: and the one who said
when I originally started wordpress I was told it was not necessary.
was bluntly wrong. To “use” wordpress, you don’t need to know any code… but to “theme” wordpress, you should know XHTML, CSS and even a good piece of PHP and a bit of MySQL.

In reply to: site in Internet Explorer is weirdJust a tip: you are asking what I’ve allready answered. Could you please read what I wrote first before you post this forum into the ground? Tnx.
And: I allready pointed you to https://www.ads-software.com/support/forum/5 where your question actually belongs. You’re having xhtml coding problems/issues and not real wordpress problems.
Say, are you sure you’re up to coding websites allready? I would genlty push you towards some xhtml/css tutorials on the web, but you’ll have to do your own searching and learning how to code cross-browser websites.
What you’re asking are the mere basics of web-coding. What, where and from whom did you learn web development the past 2 to 3 months? Maybe you should rather try to buy a good “how do I start coding wordpress websites” book? Some of us (no, not me but other web devs) actually make a living of selling those books because they are written clearly, easy and up-to-date. Just a friendly hint… 99% of us started that way… reading how it’s done.

In reply to: How to correct Internet Explorer view of siteWhy are you opening another thread about the same topic?
You allready posted that stuff here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/362557
So you work 2 months on a theme but can’t wait 3 hours for an answer? Hmmm…Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How to restrict comment-ability on a per-user/per-page basis?I’ve been thinking about using a custom field with the user’s nickname or something and a PHP “if” function to show the comment-posting form only when the nickname fits the page’s custom field.
Yet, after about 40 hours or shoving code and pixels, my brain just produces fruit-salad instead of a bright idea with a short code-snippet.
Anyone? Please? Pretty Please? ??

In reply to: Need help with header errorNo, you don’t have to open each single post.
There is a “quick edit” option in the post-listing page (look at that dropdown ontop of the list) which will allow you to bulk-edit and by doing so bulk-attach posts to a category. That’ll make it a bit easier on you…

In reply to: Doing an FTP backup of WP files….quick questionAre you sure you copied the root pages too and not only those 2 dirs? Sometimes, also them root files change, you know… who knows, it might just help. ??

In reply to: Need help with header errorErm, renaming the plugin dir is NOT the best idea. It will NOT solve the prob you’re having! But I’m not going to dive into a flamewar with songdogtech now… simply since that won’t help you solve your problem. Neither will his “search the forums” comment really help you. So let’s just get back to business…
Fact 1: page “about” works (pages do not use “permalink_structure”)
Fact 2: tags, cats and posts blow up (these use “permalink_structure”)So please check the “permalink_structure” in the admin panel… and double check it in the MySQL database in the wp_options table. Remove the “css alike” code I allready identified above.
