Hi @coltonz, thanks for the response.

I adjusted the number of posts using what I think is the expected method: when editing the Home template, adjusting the ‘posts per page’ counter to 10.

For reference, here’s a view of the list view of components in my Home template:

@friendlygiraffe,

This sounds very similar to the problem I had ([resolved] 3.2 Updated: “Cannot redeclare wp_timezone_supported()”).

As MattyRob said, a corrupt upgrade is the likely culprit. If you can’t access your dashboard, you’ll need to do a manual upgrade.

The instructions for upgrading manually can be found here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update.

Edit: Too slow… what keesiemeijer said. ??

@mattyrob & @dion Hulse,

It worked perfectly. Thank you very much for your help. It’s really appreciated.

@mattyrob,

Thanks for letting me know. I am unable to access anything from /wp-admin/ so will attempt a manual update using the guide here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Updating_WordPress#Manual_Update

I’ll come back and post an update if this worked.

OK… a (hopefully) better explaination:

This Post was my first attempt to write in ‘pirate’ (on International Talk Like a Pirate Day). This Post appeared on my main page and in my feed. This was the desired outcome.

Later, I created and linked to this Page from the original, which is a pure english ‘translation’ of the original. I created this as a Page so that it didn’t appear in my feed or my Main Page. I wanted it to have a permanent, static link on the blog, but to not appear when going through my past posts.

A Page fits this bill perfectly, but I would like to migrate it to a Post (if possible) that does the same: has a static position, but doesn’t appear in my feed or main page.

Hope that helps.

Ah, I stand corrected – it’s at the very end of the ‘Posts’ list.

I have around 450 posts, which means it’s 30 clicks of ‘Previous Entries’ away. In fact, thinking of it now, why did I expect it to be at the end of the first page of results? Definitely a ‘Doh!’ moment.

Could RSS be used instead;

‘Scraping’ the content form the blog using it’s RSS feed and then displaying it on the other domain?

I’m no RSS guru, but I think this should be possible.

Same here…

Just tested on my site: if I write a post and ‘Save’ it when the Post Status is set as ‘Draft’, it doesn’t appear in the Manage Posts list.

It’s at the top, without the View, Edit or Delete buttons.

I can try, although the method will vary depending on your host/host’s software.

I usually access my WordPress database using phpMyAdmin. This is accessible through my ‘panel’ on my web host, or by going to https://mysql.mywebsite.com However, this will undoubtedly be different for you.

Once in your WP database, you need to navigate to the ‘posts’ table (usually ‘wp_posts’); this is the table containing all the data for your posts and pages.

From there, find the draft post you want to remove and then press the red ‘x’ button to delete it. The ID column corresponds to the WP posts’ ID as visible on the Manage Posts admin page.

That then deletes the post and it no longer will exist. Be careful here though, you can’t ‘undo’!

I’ll try and help more if required, but it may be difficult without knowing your exact set-up.

Probably not the easiest way to do it, but you could go straight into the MySQL DB and delete it manually.

After a few extra hours of searching I came across the conditional tags. Bingo.

Just so others know, I’ve done the following:

<?php if (is_single())
{
echo’1′;
}
else
{
echo’2′;
}
?>

Substituting 1 for the html code when it is a single post and substituting 2 for the html code for other times.

Hope this helps someone else too.

Ah brilliant.

Thank you very much.

I always thought there might have been an easier way but wasn’t sure.

Thanks!

Ah, I see. Well, resolved it is.

Thank you everyone for your help.

So, it seems that by removing some of the update services solved the timeout errors I was receiving when publishing entries.

Regarding the apparent time-out when editing my theme though…

I can edit every file related to my theme… apart from the sidebar template and popup-comments php files. I have checked the privileges of these files and they are all the same CHMOD 777 – read, write execute for all users.

Any ideas?

I’ve managed to do my updates by downloading my sidebar.php file, edit it and then upload it again!

I do indeed have many update services listed as I was testing this out yesterday.

I’ll have a browse once I get home from work and see if this solves the posting error.

I shall also speak to my host to see about the Apache timeout issues. I’ll do this after I’ve removed some update services.

I’ll be back.
