My Browser of choice is Firefox but the problem appears in it AND in IE 8

Before starting as advised above what would happen if

a. I completely delete the Database in MyOriginalSite and all files associated with it. Leave everything blank

b. edited the config.php file in MyTestSite to show the details of MyOriginalSite

c. in MyTestSite alter General Setting to show the WordPress Address (url) and site address (url) of MyOriginalSite

and then just ftp’d all the files from MyTestSite into MyOriginalSite – would that work? Would that keep the structure, design and content. I appreciate I might have to go in and alter links.

Discovered my answer by trial and error remove:

<?php wp_list_categories(‘title_li=’) ?>

from custom_function.php

Are happy times here again ??

I’ve only just seen my friends web account and it was actually an ordinary website he was running, the database has even been activated. Does that mean all I have to do is wipe everything from his server and edit wp-config.php to suit the new server press go and I’m home.

It couldn’t be that simple, but then that’s what I love about WordPress it makes everything simple for the likes of me ??

Hi Guys thanks for the support. Don’t really know what weird JavaScript would look like.

Amyway the site was put up on my personal webspace for an author friend of mine – he has about 20 posts. We’ll be transferring them sometime next week to his own website – a complete new look.

It will take a bit of time I know but I’ll probably wipe everything in his existing website, database the lot and start from scratch and then just post and paste the material in page by page that way I’ll be reasonably happy that no bug is been transferred.

Found an answer: re-install everything except – do not overwrite wp-config.php or wp-content folder

Done and everything is working again

But one more question why did that code keep appearing and reappearing even though I had went through all index.php files and removed the offending code manually? Seeking knowledge.

Just a little bit more advice.

I deleted all but the content folder and the config.php file on my hosts site.

Downloaded a clean copy of WordPress opened it on my desktop before uploading and there was that little ‘silence is golden’ phrase on the content – index.php page. Where is it coming from, how can I kill the b…..d off

Kevin

quick come back can’t figure out how to update within WP with the dashboard be all mixed up etc – if I’m ftp do I just overwrite all the files, or would that affect what I have on my database?

No Thesis support here!

Oh! Any particular reason?

Hang about there is a database there here is what it looks like any hope? I notice there is little in it, I’m assuming that was created when I tried the upload mentioned above.

govpatel thanks for the reply, unfortunately it was the database that was deleted. I had been trying something which just didn’t work out.

Unfortunately the data base has gone, though the back-up of the wordpress that I was using is sitting on my hard drive.

When the database got deleted I then deleted all the files on my domain in the vain hope that if I reinstalled wordpress with the back up material I could regain the old database, unfortunately that hasn’t worked.

I have to accept that the data bas is gone but is there anyway from the backups I have on my hard drive that I can reclaim the files that were on the net. If there were I wouldn’t mind loading them up on an individual basis..

Hopefully

Just to be sure. Does the above mean going into my ftp program and deleting everything in the public_html directory and then going to my database and using the Drop command remove the sites database?

James, thanks for your answer. Problem solved

Thanks for your support vtxyzzy

This was a premium theme (Thesis) that I was working with and I posed the same question there. The answer that came back said to change the custom-function.php file NOT the WordPress function.php file and add

<?php add_theme_support('post-thumbnails'); ?>
add_theme_support('post-thumbnails');

again I got an error message but decided to try single lines and when I put add_theme_support('post-thumbnails'); in on its own the plugin seem to be satisfied.

Again many thanks for your help. Hopefully you advice and this will help other WordPressers!

Yes, wp-includes/post-thumbnail-template.php is there
