Looks good in FF. My guess is that IE is dropping the main column beneath the sidebar because it’s a little too wide, the way it calculates width. You can try narrowing the main column a bit and see if it doesn’t get dropped. I assume the original layout worked in IE before you modified it? Some column-making techniques don’t work in all browsers, but hopefully this theme’s technique did.

It looks like the end of a conditional statement in your comments.php file got removed or messed up somehow. Can you save the comments.php as a text file, post it on your site, and provide a link?

Also, did you modify your comments template, or are you using Kubrick’s? It’s easy to accidentally delete a crucial line.

Yes, it turned out to be the Scripturizer Remix plugin, which I have now deactivated. Thanks for going to the trouble of searching the code base!

Problem solved, thanks to d0ngle: The plugin Scripturizer Remix is to blame for this error. Deactivating it caused the error to vanish.

Thank you, d0ngle! That’s it exactly – I deactivated the plugin, and the error is gone.

Note for WP2.0+, from Podz:

WordPress 2.x.x uses a cache file. You MUST delete this cache or this will not work.

Delete everything in the /wp-content/cache directory as soon as you make the database change.

I was having a similar problem, with a twist: The password changed in the database, but I couldn’t login using the new password. Clearing WP’s cache via FTP worked.

A few questions:
Are you running 2.0?
Are you logged in as admin?
Did you look at the top of the screen? It moved a little in 2.0.

Hope this helps.

It sounds like your host may not support PHP. Are you sure they do? It’s also possible that the server, for some reason, is not set to recognize index.php as a valid index file.

If you can give a link to the site, it would help us see what the problem looks like.

In your admin panel, go to options.php (I think you’ll have to type it in, as 2.0 strangely doesn’t have a link to any page that lets you set this option).

Scroll down to fileupload_allowedtypes and add the extensions you want to that box, and hit enter.

If you’re using a version prior to 2.0, just go to Options – Misc. Not sure why they took this out in 2.0.

Actually, if you’re using WP2.0, just click “Import,” and you can do it all from within the WordPress control panel.

If you find documentation that is out of date, go ahead and fix it. The Codex is a wiki for a reason. The upload feature is not broken, just moved to the posting screen. Updating hundreds of pages of documentation takes time, so don’t be so quick to complain.

You aren’t dealing with a company putting out a piece of commercial software here. Everyone who offers help is doing so out of goodwill; no one makes any money off of this or has any obligation to help you, especially if you are rude.

You should also know that there could be a variety of reasons you don’t see a particular option. Many options can be turned off in the control panel, and you also never said what version of WordPress you were using. Providing that kind of information, and being nicer, will help you get the assistance you are requesting.

Yes, it’s called letter-spacing in CSS (despite the fact that kerning is a perfectly good word in typography). You can add a line to your stylesheet to adjust it.

Yes, it’s very easy to import from Blogger to WordPress. There’s even a modified script that imports Blogger comments (google “skeltoac blogger import script” to find it).

You’ll need a webhosting account with a provider that supports PHP and MySQL. A domain name is required for using WordPress (or you can use a subfolder of another domain name, but you still have to have physical hosting.

Check the codex for more info.

Thanks for the link – much better.

I know the WP gurus are busy, but this is a pretty critical feature, and it can’t be that hard to change. Can someone fix the forum search box?

Right now, FYI, it’s functional, but it seems to search all of www.ads-software.com, including the codex, tags, etc, which makes the search results pretty much worthless, as most of the results are tag archives, which contain no helpful info at all.

New site looks great, BTW.

OK, I just installed a fresh copy of WordPress and ran the upgrade script, so I know it’s not a problem with any of the WordPress files. Must be something in the database – perhaps a table got renamed?
