If you are re-installing the same version just overwrite everything except the wp-config.php

The real question here is why are you re-installing? what is it that you think this would fix?

ipstenu, I agree. DB migrations are relatively painless BUT not a db from a stand alone wp to a NETWORK wp. Plugins and themes need to be installed post network setup to avoid conflicts and make them available to the network. (i’m sure there are 1001 ways to do this without having to install each but that requires a little more knowledge than just getting it from a forum)

You probl. put the session_save_path next to your <?php call
<?phpsession_save_path(
but it should be

<?php
session_save_path(

btw. make sure there is a folder under “wp-content” called “uploads” and set it to 755 or 777

This is definitely a server configuration, most likely a PHP configuration. I’m going towards safe_mode being ON.

is your “uploads” folder set to 777 ? if not, CHMOD to 777

some files might get corrupt during updates so, replace them to rule our corrupt files.

Also check you file quota, most servers will have a storage quota and a limit on the number of files you may have.

I don’t think this is a permission issue.

Try this..

1. make sure you’re not trying to upload an image that’s too large. Most virtual hosts will die at 8MB. try uploading a 30kb file.
if that’s not your case….
2. Check to see if you have any plugin which uses the upload call and disable it. (anything that would trigger a media upload from a post/page other than the one that comes with wp) Some templates add this for featured images, slideshows etc.
if not…
3. download the latest wp version and replace these 3 files on your wp install…
wp-admin/async-upload.php
wp-admin/media-upload.php
wp-admin/upload.php

looks like a permalink error.
try this, go to your_wordpress_url.com/?cat=1&tag=some-tag

replace the #1 by a known category on your blog and “some-tag” with an actual tag from a post within that category use”-” between spaces.

you should get a result or a page with your template that looks empty. If so, check your permalink setting under settings>permalinks
try #1 or #2
and don’t use the custom settings if you don’t know how to use it.

what version of wp are you on?

I recommend using the xml export function from your old blog and then import it into the new one instead of going mysql > mysgl.

In a multisite setup, wp will create new tables for each blog so you really have to leave it up to wp to figure out what goes where.

So my 2 cents are, fresh install, fresh network setup, then import xml

I agree with Ipstenu about using shortcodes for flash (or another plugin).

WordPress will strip html tags from widgets(for admins in a Multisite setup)

You don’t have 439 installations of WP (only 1) and this is a built-in security feature.

What you are experiencing is a filter() in your functions.php file which strips html from widgets.

You can remove that filter but it will be recreated whenever you upgrade WP.

You can also create a customized additional_functions.php to remove the filter but that requires some coding and I guess that’s out of the scope of this discussion.

The last piece of the puzzle..

I think you did an export of the whole database and not just the posts so the settings of your new database where replaced also.

Open your export file with a text editor and do a find/replace
Find any instance of your old url. I’m assuming it looks like https://locahostsomethinr/ortother

and replace it with https://www.travelblog.kevnolan.co.uk

You can also do this by going directly into the database using phpmyadmin

There are some missing files in your theme’s folder. This particular error is telling you that the file “theme-options.php” inside the folder ‘inc’ is missing.

There’s definitely a conflict with the .htaccess

I’d start by adding RewriteBase /travelblog
to your WP .htaccess file

OR

I suggest a work-around, instead of trying to fix your .htaccess

install wordpress on a subdomain like https://travelblog.kevnolan.co.uk

That’s a fast, easy fix which would avoid conflicts.

Cheers

What part don’t you get?
1. Do you know how to install wordpress? (if not, i’m sure your host will have a 1-click install of sorts or go to https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Installing_WordPress for instructions
2. Data export.. You have xampp installed to run your own server. They also install phpmyadmin for you. Here is how to do it (except for the part where you check structure off) https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Backing_Up_Your_Database
3. Insert the data into the db using phpmyadmin https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Restoring_Your_Database_From_Backup
4. Install your theme
