In reply to: Change my h2 font size and color “PLEASE HELP”No, h2 has values.
When you are using the “red” theme, your .post h2 is red (an example is your title “Read from the beginning…”). Then, there is an .entry h2 (an example is “Here are the old posts, starting with the first one.”) The color for .entry h2 is #cccccc, or gray, and the font-size is specified as “small”. It appears this might be hard-coded in your theme, instead of in your style.css. You may need to look for style information in your index.php, page.php, & single.php. Once you find the #cccccc (or just #ccc), you can change the color to whatever hex value you want. To increase the font-size, you can change “small” to any one of the following:
medium
large
x-large
xx-largeTo remove your color selector, you could consider finding #colours in your style.css, and adding a line:
display: none;
to that block.
To figure out how to do this on your own, investigate using Firebug, an add-on for Firefox.

In reply to: [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Storing images outside wp-content/galleryMy previous guess contained a typo (missing .com in the upper level domain), and even without the typo it doesn’t work.
Apparently, what NGG does is take the WP url from the WP Settings->General menu and add the gallery path from NGG Options->General Options and then add the path from the Add gallery screen.
All that means is windyjon2 is right. Without modifying the plugin, it doesn’t seem possible to store files outside the WP root.

In reply to: [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Storing images outside wp-content/galleryNever tried it, but if the folder is writable by you from where you’re running NGG and you reference it absolutely, as in https://www.domainname/storage-area, it might work.
Of course, that might not be a good idea, since if the folder is writable by you, it’s writable by everyone else, which would present security issues. I think I’ve seen comments by Alex (NGG author) that he may include storage on Amazon’s S3 in future releases.

In reply to: Links to SlurpConfirm404Fair enough. Let’s say it’s not an attack. How is the Yahoo robot generating a link from my site that doesn’t exist? The odd thing about one of the links is that it was pharmacy related, even though my site has nothing to do with that. If it’s really Yahoo, maybe that’s why Yahoo is losing the search wars.

In reply to: [Plugin: NextGEN Gallery] Storing images outside wp-content/galleryIf your Blog Address (URL) in WP settings is your top level domain, as in https://www.domainname.com, relative paths can start from that top level domain. So if you want your NGG galleries to be in https://www.domainname.com/storage-area, just set your gallery path to
storagearea/
If you want folders in storagearea/ for multiple galleries, just set those paths to
storagearea/somegallery1
storagearea/somegallery2
etc.All of this assumes your blog is at your top level domain.

In reply to: Heko with nextgen plugin and flash conflictTry adding these parameters to where you call your flash countdown:
<param name=”wmode” value=”transparent” />
The solution may depend on the NGG stylesheet you select. I’m using Hovereffect Styles, and my class for .ngg-center incorrectly was labeled as .ngg-center img
Deleting img fixed the problem. Note that .ngg-right and .ngg-left were not .ngg-right img or .ngg-left img

In reply to: YouTube videosYou can put something like this in your post. Change the width and height. Change the video ID in 2 places. This code is a little different than the embed code that YouTube gives; it should be valid XHTML.
<object type="application/x-shockwave-flash" data="https://www.youtube.com/v/fJdkRxKJaCU" width="575" height="400"><param name="wmode" value="transparent" /><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/fJdkRxKJaCU" /></object>
I think it’s likely that the author’s website has been hacked. I haven’t seen a post or update from him at his site since after he released an updated alpha version of PTR. Either he just got very busy, disinterested, or something happened to him. Anyone know?
I seriously doubt he’d put in all that time & effort into his plugin for whatever he could get out of some well-known and blockable exploits.

In reply to: can’t see my uploaded theme on my site????Your emerald waters 1.1 theme, like boober suggested, has an images folder. You need to copy the emerald-waters-11 folder to your public_html/travelblog/wp-content/themes folder and keep the directory structure intact. That means you should see a public_html/travelblog/wp-content/themes/emerald-waters-11/images folder, which contains 12 files. And your public_html/travelblog/wp-content/themes/emerald-waters-11 folder should show the ../images folder + 18 files.
Another problem you have is that some of your files do not appear to be the right size.
Here’s why I suggest you get a good FTP program. If you get FileZilla (or a similar program) you can check the directory structure and use drag-and-drop to copy files and preserve the directory structure. One thing to be careful of when unzipping & installing themes and plugins. When you unzip your theme, it will unzip to an emerald-waters-11 folder, but there will be another folder below this one, usually with an identical name. This sub-folder with the identical name is the one you need to FTP to your server. Otherwise you will end up with a directory structure that will be:
../wp-content/themes/emerald-waters-11/emerald-waters-11 [WRONG]
../wp-content/themes/emerald-waters-11 [RIGHT]
If you haven’t made changes to your theme, the best place would be to get a basic understanding of folders using a program like FileZilla, delete your theme, and FTP it to the right location. You can select the default theme before doing anything of this so your blog is up and running while you change your theme.
Hope that helps.

In reply to: can’t see my uploaded theme on my site????Check out this thread
Your problem is most likely due to the fact that you haven’t uploaded the files to the right locations. Get a good FTP program so you can verify where you’ve uploaded files, and you’ll be a step closer.

In reply to: Hostagtor Cpanel Question ~ HelpJudging from what you posted, I think you’d do better to avoid using cPanel for uploads, etc. Although cPanel can do this, a good FTP program like FileZilla is better for this task.
If you look at what you posted, a number of files show up as 0k. I located and downloaded the theme you referred to from this address Blue Earth. For example, your sidebar.php is 0k; mine is 1k. Therefore, my next guess is that your download/upload is corrupt. Therefore, I recommend you:
1) redownload the theme
2) unzip it to a new location
3) delete the theme from your server
4) upload the newly downloaded/unzipped theme using FileZillaThis recommendation is based on the assumption that you have not made any modifications to these theme files on your server that you don’t have backed up on your local PC. If that’s not the case, after step #2, simply copy this folder to your local PC before deleting it.
If you were using FileZilla to check your theme’s folder, you could see the actual file sizes rather than the way cPanel reports them. If my guess proves correct, remember that glitches can occur in the download/unzip/upload process. Sometimes, if things don’t work out as expected, you may get back on track by just repeating these steps.
Good luck. Let everyone know how it works out.
