Okay – thanks. I’ll check out that plugin.

I’ve been looking at how to move my site offline to live and it looks really complicated, so I think I’m just going to let the site go down for a day and redo the posts manually.

Thanks again.

Duh! I didn’t think of the MySQL database I created when I did the manual install. Thanks for the explanation and will go watch that vid right now. Thanks again!!

Thanks – I appreciate your help and don’t want to seem dense, but I’m not sure what you mean by the content is in the database. Where is the database? I see the images I’ve uploaded, but not the actual post pages.

It took a while but I found that I actually need to add the “define(‘WP_POST_REVISIONS’, 3);” to the WP-config folder. I thought it was already there and I just needed to change the number to what I wanted. No wonder I couldn’t find it. I haven’t tried it yet but at least in headed in the right direction.

FWIW – I can’t find what he’s referring to in the WP-config folder (or any other folder for that matter), so I am (once again) back to square one and will have to live with the scores of revisions.

I do appreciate your time though. ??

Well, all of it really. It took five minutes to do the install but it’s taken about five weeks (and counting) to figure out how to do everything else (limit the &^%&*!# spam and hackers, organize the media library ((lost cause)), figure out which plugins are necessary, tweak the theme, etc., etc., . . . ). And those are only the questions I know to ask. Almost every day brings up a new question.

I saw the screenshot and it looked like a plain-English type of tutorial that would be very helpful. Most of the answers to my many questions have come from lots and lots of searching various blogs (and the WP forums of course). Yes, most of the answers are there, but it’s taking a huge bite of time to find them.

WP is a great platform and I knew there would be a learning curve, but didn’t think it would be quite so time consuming.

Okay thanks siteber and Andrew.

Andrew – where did that screenshot come from? Is there a tutorial list somwhere? (other than the Codex thing).

Thanks again.

Okay, thanks.

Am still looking through plugins, etc. for alternatives. Thanks for mentioning the single.php thing. Don’t know what it is but at least now I now to research it.

Thanks again.

Thanks for your offer, but it’s only a hobby site and wouldn’t justify a custom plugin.

As I mentioned – I’m new to WordPress and although it’s very easy to get the basic site up and running, finetuning it is proving a bit difficult. I’ll just have to keep tweaking.

Thanks again for your input.

Any suggestions?

Wow – that’s a lot of widgets! I think I can have the same title for all the widgets, but it’s going to be tough to keep track of which widget went with which post.

Thanks for the quick reply!

Thanks barnez – I think that’s the page I got the code I posted above, but I’ve looked at so many sites I can’t remember anymore. Finding the code is only half the battle – a lot of tuts don’t explain where the code goes well enough for a newb to understand. I think I might give up for now and just go the plugin route.

Thanks again for the reply.

Thanks for the info. ??

Thanks for the link. ??
