Gotcha. That’s what I wanted to find out. It was worth a shot! Now to close up shop until I find a new theme/developer ??

Thanks, Jan. I contacted HostGator and already received a reply. Here’s what they had to say:

Generally speaking, it is not a good idea to give any file or folder 777 permissions. 777 permissions grant read, write, and execute access to everyone. On Shared and Reseller servers, 777 permissions are not only discouraged, they also are not compatible with the way in which PHP functions on our servers. For more information, please see https://support.hostgator.com/articles/specialized-help/technical/my-script-needs-to-use-777-permissions

Bummer. This theme has everything I need but now I’m hesitant to use it…

Well it isn’t hosted anywhere yet. I’m just trying to get it working locally, but ran into a chmod issue (see this thread: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/how-to-chmod-0777-local-folders?replies=1), which got me thinking about the security issue.

I plan on hosting through HostGator (business plan), which is shared hosting.

What makes 777 such a bad way to go? Thanks for your help!

oh geeze, how did I miss that…

Thanks!

I added a / before the # and it works now.

Perfect. Thanks. I also had to include the &rarr as that was the arrow. I just made the code into a comment for future reference.
<!-- <span><?php the_category(', ') ?> </span> &rarr; -->

Yeah yesterday morning I “fixed” it, I don’t know how though. Since it was the “Colors.png” that kept showing up as an attachment, I went to its “update media” page, filled in some alternate text, caption, etc. then clicked update. After that, the colors page worked fine. Weird!

Thanks for your help

… because commenting is on. You can change setting sitewide or change comment settings in individual Page or Post.

Well I’m using the same layout for another site and the “PhotosPage” template produces a page that does not act as a post: janchristianphoto.com/photos

The same settings (as far as I can tell) are used for both sites but the Grenade Gear one is behaving differently.

I just tried that and there is no side bar but it still shows up as a post that people can comment on. It also shows my “COLORS” header button as an attachment, any idea why?

I think I may just start over…

The Page Attributes are as follows:

Parent: (no parent)
Template: PhotosPage
Order: 0

What confuses me is when I try different templates and update the page, nothing changes.

I added that but it didn’t change anything.

ok, nothing changed but it’s working now. Weird…

I think I found the problem. When I click RSS, it’s leaving the necessary /blog/ part out of the feed URL. Is there a way to fix that?

weird, it only shows one for me. Oh well, as long as it works for others lol

Thanks for checking
