    phpMyAdmin is a different application and is not a part of WordPress. You have to install phpMyAdmin separately (or use the one provided by your hosting provider) to access it.

    Did you lose your administrator account?

    The wp-admin pages are used by both administrators and users. Users don’t get all of the functionality that administrators do.

    @kranmars

    Some WordPress plugins provide functionality for the admin pages and you may have a broken plugin. Try disabling all plugins and see if that helps.

    The theme templates define what is displayed on each page, such as the title, content or extract, and other metadata. You can edit the theme by peeking into the wp-content/themes . The list of folders there is a list of themes installed and you’ll have to modify the one being used by your current setup.

    Ideally, you would want to do this with a page template at. Here’s a good explanation of page templates:

    It is possible to use plugins to get WordPress to go to a different page defined by the plugin, but that isn’t versatile (a theme may want to override it, but it can’t!) – the theme ought to handle the page layout, not the plugin.

    Here’s a WordPress Codex page that you can refer to:

    @blipeles

    A default WordPress setup shows your latest blog posts… a kind of a news headlines, except that you don’t get to choose what goes on there – WordPress automatically picks up the latest ‘n’ (that ‘n’ is defined by the number of posts you choose to show – 10 by default).

    If you want to setup a business website and do not simply want to show the latests blog posts but instead want to show an introductory page, you have to select Static page (no, this is not a static HTML page… it is a CMS-managed page). You can then edit the content of the page that you choose to display as the “static home page”.

    I know my response is late, but just in case you’ve checked the “Notify me of followup posts via e-mail” option, you might want to check if the theme contains code that conditionally displays the “comments are closed” notification. If you can post the name of the theme you are using, we can look it up for you.

    If you’ve configured WordPress yourself, did you configure caching? A WordPress install without caching could cause the CPU to work itself to the max with just a couple of users. To try it yourself, install a copy of WordPress on a server you have access to (or, perhaps, even on your own computer) and hold down the F5 key in your browser to continuously send requests to the blog – the CPU usage would show a high value if you don’t have any kind of caching configured.

    Hi!

    GDragoN is right. While on the Wp-Admin dashboard, click on the GD Star Rating section (Appears after the settings section), click the Settings page (in the GD Star Rating section), click on the Articles tab, and look at the Restrict group of check boxes.

    The checkboxes you will see are:
    – Prevent article author to vote. This is only for registered users.
    – Use logged data (IP) to prevent duplicate voting.
    – Use cookies to prevent duplicate voting.
    – Allow votes from user and visitor coming from same IP address.

    Uncheck #2 and #3, and check #4 to accomplish your objective of allowing multiple votes.

    I’m not sure what would cause the plugin to not display in the list of installed plugins on a manual install but I think it would have something to do with the level of nesting the directories.

    The plugin has to be copied into the plugins directory with the .php files located either within the plugins directory or in a directory one level deep within the directory structure.

    I *think* (like I said earlier, I’m not sure) if the level of nesting of directories is over one level, WordPress may not treat the files as plugins (which seems like a reasonable assumption to make).

    In reply to: RTL Support

    The only differences between an Arabic blog and an English blog are the CSS attributes direction: rtl and text-align: right. This is usually applied in the theme’s style and is a standard CSS feature rather than a WordPress feature.

    I’m not sure but I thought ShareThis can provide a text link too. AddToAny is also quite popular. All of these route through a 3rd party (plugin vendor) site so you might want to get the paid option. I guess both ShareThis and AddToAny provide the scripts for a self-hosted install.

    What you can do to simulate a scheduled job is to create a script with a wget that calls a Php file in the plugin directory. You can schedule the script to get the Php page to run every week. To avoid accidentally creating a summary more than once, you can store the last execution date to ensure that a week has passed since the last summary post.

    In reply to: How do you Organize Links?

    How about using the Related posts plugin? It can display links to other articles at the end of the page. Or you can display all the links with paging or tabs. Take a look at WpTavern.com. They’ve got a section on top of the page that let’s you browse through articles.

    Are you able to send email using the standard “mail()” function in PHP? Do you receive other emails from WordPress?

    In reply to: SVN Access

    The email regarding the SVN repository shouldn’t take longer than a day or two. Have you checked your junk mail folder?

    I submitted my request one fine evening and when I checked my email the next morning, the instructions were right there in my email Inbox!
