In reply to: Importing just Posts from previous installation.Hi There,
Could you find out if your new theme supports .xml format. I know sometimes Tools > Import does not work for certain themes because they do not support .xml format. What theme are you using by the way?
Cheers!

In reply to: Problem w one click installationHi There,
If you are getting free hosting, why don’t you just register a new username and start another blog. The only thing about free things is that sometimes there are little support and you have to search the forums for answers like on here. A lot of us here are pretty experienced and can often help newbies out.
Hope it helps,
Cheers!

In reply to: gallery has changed itself after WP updateHi There,
I think it’s a matter of editing WordPress short-code for the “bad gallery” to have thumbnail size fit to your theme width.
May I suggest reading the Gallery Shortcode Docs for a better understanding.
It could work if you add
[gallery size="small"]
or
[gallery size="medium"]
to the post to incur a solution.
Hope this helps,
Cheers!

In reply to: WordPress website moving gone badHi There,
Sorry to hear about a disastrous move. That’s always hard to stomach.
I sense that
Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/rubia86/public_html/wp-config.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/rubia86/public_html/wp-load.php on line 30
is due to a incomplete WordPress installation.
What can be done is to backup your WordPress database and reinstall WordPress again. You may lose some of your plug-ins and theme settings but as long as your database is in tack everything should be fine.
Hope this helps,
Cheers!

In reply to: Installation HurdlesHi There,
It seems like you have been blocked by the high hurdle of 1-click installation. Do not panic, we can get you thru this.
First make sure there’s
1) A MySQL database created with a user assigned to it. (Your host should be able to help you create one)
2) Unzip WordPress and upload via ftp the files to your host under the site directory. Should be under public_html or www
3) Follow setup instruction under https://www.yoursite.com/wp-admin
This would install WordPress to your site’s root directory so your blog would be on https://www.yoursite.com
Hope this helps,
Cheers!

In reply to: wp-admin/install.php page cannot be foundHi There,
Please check and see if all of the unzipped files of WordPress have been uploaded to your root directory. There are many files and sometimes uploading via FileZilla or any FTP client can result in a couple missing. May I recommend using a terminal to install WordPress if you are familiar with it.
You would also have to set up a MySQL database and assign a user to it prior to setting up your WordPress.
Hope this helps,
Cheers

In reply to: Problems installing a 2nd WP blog in the same domainHi There,
I’ve verified that WordPress is indeed installed under your root directory. The account that runs
https://www.fdsgn.com is managed under https://www.fdsgn.com/wp-admin.
However, I cannont verify that https://www.fdsgn.com/vanityqueens has any WordPress files installed.
If you wanted to run another blog you would have to install another WordPress under vanityqueens directory. And yes, that means to install WordPress two times.
Hope this helps,
Cheers

In reply to: Preferred OS for Running WordPress OnHi There,
You are fine running WordPress with your current setup. WordPress will run as long as you have
1) PHP version > 4.3
2) MySQL version > 4.1.2We are managing many WordPress installs across various Linux distros and CentOS is about the finest.
Hope this helps,
Cheers!
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: "missing/invalid WXR" platformproHi There,
It appears to be a depreciation issue with WordPress. What version of WordPress do you have installed? Depending on what version of WordPress the ‘platformpro’ theme was developed during, it could cause import default setting of a theme to fail.
A likely fix would be for you to have the same version of WordPress as platformpro theme and then update WordPress version or check and see if the theme has an update for the latest version of WordPress.
Hope this helps,
Cheers!

Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Error with instalingHi There,
You need to first have a database setup. Do you have the ability to create databases with your host? You might be able to do so by
1) clicking on MySQL databases in your VistaPanel
2) create a database with a Create New Database
3) create a MySQL database user with Add New User
4) add the new user to the new database
Double check your hostname, usually you can keep it as ‘localhost’
Hope this helps.
Cheers!
