Instead of moving it around, could they just go to the dashboard settng and change the urls from https://thomaskaufman.com/wordpress/ to
https://thomaskaufman.com/author

and then go through via FTP and change the folder name to author.

?

Hi, you can change the name the folder anything you want. You will also have to change the name in the Settings > General area so that they match.

As far as your site being slow, I’m afraid I can’t really help with that except that if you have a lot of images or plug ins or revisions that can bloat your database. You may want to check your hosting site too to make sure you have the proper plan to support the site you are trying to do.

Google “why is my website slow” and you will get some help that way.

Good luck!

Yup, you would link to the index.php file.
Your welcome!

It would take them to the link that you place on your home page. So what you neeed to do is instead of installing wordpress in your root folder, install it in a subfolder… whatever you want to name it. For instance, when I am building a new site for a customer, i use “newsite” (ie https://www.url.com/newsite) for them to view it. WordPress isn’t anywhere on their site except for that folder.

So you can name the folder whatever you want. Install wordpress inside there and then use the index file in there for that to be the home page of the wordpress site.

Out of curiosity, why are you building a “dreamweaver” side and wordpress side?

You don’t need to name it wordpress at all. I was just using that as an example.

You can have your http:www.url.com

and then name the folder whatever you want.

https://www.yoururl.com/nameoffolder/index.php for the home page

Oh, I think I figured out the problem! Because I am using different single.php files, I missed marking some of them specifically instead of default when using the single page plug in for the posts. Then it was also pulling in the default.

Did you install wordrpress in a subfolder or your root folder?

When they click to go to wordpress it should be a path like this:
“www.yoururl.com/wordpressite”

Thanks. I tried it and it still pulled the other category in… any other ideas?

You are wonderful! thank you for swooping in and saving me.
I really had that off.

anyone have any ideas? please??!!
desperate.

Thanks Ilana. I tried those both moving the </div> around and deactivating the widgets adn that does not resolve it.

I don’t know how to write a clear set for after the sidebar? What is the code for that? clear: both; ?

Thanks again!
Kathy

Thank you for your response Ilana…

I had edited it through the widget, not the actual sidebar.php file. But when i remove the code from the widget, nothing goes back, so I am not sure.

I went through my template files and I don’t see any extra </div> tags. But I do notice in firebug that when I mouse over my <div=”footer”> that the entire screen highlights indicating that something is not closed…

but I can’t seem to locate what is going on. It’s so strange because I didn’t touch the template files except for the style.css.

The only editing I’ve done is in the style sheet and the sidebar to add the basket with the counter on how many babies have been helped. I’ve done nothing in the footer at all.

I also noticed that my sidebar pages is also not taking the style all of a sudden.

I removed the addition of the basket in the widgets and the styles of them and the styles still don’t take. So I am guessing that the new item isn’t doing it, so I put them back.

This is the code I added to the style sheet

#sidebar .count {
	width: 200px;
	float: left;
	font-size: 13px;
	color: #555;
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 15px;
	margin-bottom: 15px;
        line-height: 20px;
background: url(images/basket.png) no-repeat center;
height: 170px;
}

#sidebar .countcopy {
margin-top:107px;
text-align:center;
}

And this is the widget code
<div class="count"><div class="countcopy"><span style="font-size: 2em;">1,765</span><br />Infants Helped</div></div>

I don’t either of those should have anything to do with the footer code… ?

Thank you!!!

i have the same problem MikeP above noted. Any solution to this?

Using [nggallery id=x template=caption] if you set Number of images per page: 0 (will disable pagination, all images on one page) you get the descriptions. Set pagination to a number, say 4, then you get the descriptions on the first page only.
