oops, sorry, i may be back to fix this post… ??
***
ok, since i messed up by posting here in the first place, i thought i should give my thoughts.

i don’t know where those functions are located, (the ones you postes above from your index.php) but would it make sense to find those functions and see if there is formatting, like or something, that makes it so whatever you put next is after the closing and will always be on a new line?

sorry if this is not much help, just thought if the CSS does not change anything that looking at the functions might be a good idea…

hehe, i got so sidetracked by the SWG post i forgot to check out your site…

i played a long time ago and loved it, then hated it, then loved it, then quit with everybody else. but it was fun looking at those pics.

oh, and by the why, i went back and checked out your site. i like it. the greys are easy to look at and i like your little logo.

does this thread help you at all?

dubbldawg, i really like your colors and you header picture!

i have to agree with zeroK though, it is not that bad, but the text and links are a little bit of a strain on the darker background. i run into this myself when i use darker backgrounds…it is a trade-off i guess.

anyway, i like your design style.

samaritan said where to look but i can elaborate.

look in the ‘header.php’ file that is in wp-content > themes > default

for me the section starts on line 39 and looks like this:

/* To ease the insertion of a personal header image, I have done it in such a way,
that you simply drop in an image called ‘personalheader.jpg’ into your /images/
directory. Dimensions should be at least 760px x 200px. Anything above that will
get cropped off of the image. */

/*
#headerimg { background: url(‘<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/personalheader.jpg’) no-repeat bottom;}
*/

all you need to do is remove the comment marks /* and */ that are before and after the #headerimg section.

Then of course upload an image named ‘personalheader.jpg’ to wp-content > themes > default > images

hope this helps! good luck.

heh, well, found out why i could not change the colors…

they are images ??

just realized that. now i can change kubrickbg.jpg and kubrickbgcolor.jpg to my hearts content.

hopefully somebody who was lost like me will stumble on this post and be happy.

i was having the same problem, and after reading this post i tried the same method and found out that it was my kittens-spaminator plugin causing the trouble.

to fix, i just went to the proper download site https://mookitty.co.uk/devblog/downloads/ and got it again (i think i pasted from the web the first time) and now all is well!

thanks for sharing mcarruth! it lead me to a quick fix of a frustrating problem!!

Thank you so much for this heads up!

I was rooting around for while thinking “this should not be this hard” and then I spotted this post. My jpg is 760 X 200 and fits nicely, rounded corners and all.

Thanks again! I am sure this will be helpful for somebody else as well.

I currently run 4 weblogs off of my 1 WordPress database. Works great for me. And I plan to run more.

Good luck!

found a tutorial on how to restore (and backup) the db, here it is:

sorry for all my post, but i figure at this point i might as well see this through and post what i am doing in the chance that it might help somebody else.

ok, well i will try to revert back to 1.2.2 mingus and start the upgrade process over.

how about can anybody give me advice or tutorial link on how to do this please?

i do have a backup of my db from 1.2.2 from just before i did the 1.5 upgrade (both sql and zip files)

thanks so much! maybe it was just some glitch with the upgrade (as i sit here trying to remeber if i deactivated all my plugins first)

nobody else having this problem?

i upgraded to 1.2.2 Mingus and had no problems. Just since my 1.5 Strayhorn upgrade has my problem appeared.

and now i can’t even log in ?? after the login page, i just get a blank page. very sad…and i don’t know where to start troubleshooting.

So you say you took out this line:
<?php comments_popup_link(__('Comments (0)'), __('Comments (1)'), __('Comments (%)')); ?>
from your index.php page?
That should get rid of your comments link. At least it does for me.

Ok, so I figured it out and want to share it with everybody else in case it happens to anybody.
The problem was with a plugin, I think. I only use one, so I have limited exposure to using them.
Shortly before I decided I was ready to start making multiple blogs, I started using the plugin ViewLevels v.1.1.2 on my main blog.
First let me say that this plugin worked great and I really like it.
All that happened is that when I installed my new weblog, this plugin (as they all are) was defaulted to be not active. Now I don’t know exactly the details of what the code issue is, but there are some very minor code changes used on the site when running this plugin.
Apparantly, with those small code changes, the plugin must be activated or your site will do some very weird stuff. (Well, at least my will).
I am not sure if this would happen to everybody but it is something to consider if you are using this plugin and installing new weblogs.
I also had some issues with getting my different blogs to look in the proper directories, but I think that was probably more my clumsy methods than anything else.
Well, if I figure anything else out about this I will share more.

Hi,
Could you tell me how to see what the value of ABSPATH is?
I installed a second worpress in a new directory and it is not working. The install worked, but index.php is blank. I can’t figure out what the problem is, but this thread sounds like something I should check into. OH, the thing is, I am not getting any error, just a blank page.
I acutally already contacted my host and they said it must be my script, so I want to get more info before I go back to them again.
Thanks!!
