Thanks for those suggestions.

The theme I’m using is called ‘Moreorange’.

The link for it is given below.

Perhaps there is some kind of glitch in the code for this theme. Could someone (more clued up than me!) kindly take a look?

Much appreciated.

Kashif.

Hi there,

Thanks very much for your reply.

Will try the solutions you offered.

One of them is bound to work ….!

Will let you know how I get on.

Regards,
Kashif.

Okay. Thanks again Alex.

Hi Alex,

Yes will do.

Before I do that, I have one other query.

Is there a way to add Flash SWF files to Posts and Pages?

Kashif.

It worked!!!

Thanks Alex. You’re a star.

Kashif.

Hi Alex,

Sorry. Switched to the wrong theme!

It should be there now. You should see the Flash banner. It is offset towards the right and downwards.

Again, appreciate your advice ??

Kashif.

Hi Alex,

That worked! Thanks.

But the Flash seems to have shifted to the right and down. Is this a style sheet issue or something in the code you gave me above?

Kashif.

Hi Alex,

Thanks for that.

Will give that a try.

Much appreciated.

Kashif.

Hi Alex,

The URL where the Flash banner is supposed to appear is:

https://www.wellworthdriving.com/

As you can see, the site is still work in progress. But I wanted the Flash banner to appear at the top above the navigation buttons.

Appreciate you help and advice.

Kashif.

Hi Alex,

The URL and flash seems to work.

https://www.wellworthdriving.com/wp-content/themes/WWDTheme/images/header.swf

Don’t know why it’s not showing up.

Any ideas?

Kashif.

Hi Xzeed,

I’ll check my wp-config and get back to you.

It is weird isn’t it ??

Thanks,
Kashif.

Hi there,

Tried something new, but still no luck!

I’ve installed MAMP in the ‘Sites’ folder on the “studioblog” machine so that now it sits in the following directory:

Users/kashif/Sites/htdocs/wordpress/

Now, again, wordpress site works fine on the host machine. When I try to access it from another machine, I try using the following address:

https://”IP Address”/~kashif/htdocs/wordpress/
or
https://studioblog.local/~kashif/htdocs/wordpress/

What I get from this is:

“Error establishing a database connection”

Any ideas what’s going wrong?

Kashif.

Thanks xzeed. Appreciate it.

I don’t see anything except the error page that starts with:

“The Web site cannot be found”

“The site you are looking for is unavailable due to its identification configuration settings…..”

Very frustrating!!!

Yes I can reach MAMP’s local start page fine. In fact, on the “studioblog” machine, MAMP & WordPress work fine.

I just can’t access the blog from other machines…?

Hi xzeed,

Thanks for the link.

Followed this closely, but I am still having problems ??

Let me give you a breakdown of my current settings.

MAMP’s htdocs and my wordpress is sitting in the following location:

/Library/WebServer/Documents/htdocs/wordpress/

MAMP Preferences are:

Apache Port: 8888
MySql Port: 8889

My machine is called “studioblog”. I try and access this blog from other machines using the following URL:

https://studioblog.local:8888/wordpress/

What I get from all of the above is this:

“The Web site cannot be found”

“The site you are looking for is unavailable due to its identification configuration settings…..”

Any ideas what I am doing wrong?
