Ah problem solved – must have clicked on ‘show/hide kitchen sink’ clicked on it and the disappeared items came back.

Kevin

Thanks for the reply – I’ve went to Kevin (my name – beside Howdy. That brought up Your Profile and Personal Options, the visual editor box was checked,

To be on the safe side I unchecked the box, updated the profile, and then checked visual editor and updated ‘Your Profile and Personal Options’ but when I went back to ‘Write’ but only the top row of icons were visable i.e. bold, italic, blockquote, those icons but the bottom row is missing ie. Format, underline, Paste from text, Paste from Word – those are the ones I am trying to get back

Any suggestions

Kevin

Nice blog. That’s pretty much what I would like to do with my images. So away you go post a ‘how to.’ but I have to add I’m javascript illiterate. Still I’ll try anything once

Kevin

Thanks for the replies. I think I’ll run with the WP plugin for the moment and next week run Google Analytics I’m sure there will be a small difference but it will let me know where I’m going

Once more, Thanks
Kevin

upgraded to the latest version and these seems to have overcome the problem.

The htacress file did seem to be missing so I searched around a little and found the following suggested code: HERE
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /subdirectory/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /subdirectory/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

I uploaded that as my .htacress file and used the following custom permalink
/%category%/%postname%/
and everyting seems to be working.

So again thanks for the encouragement and the initial pointers as to what might be wrong.

Many thanks for your reply – I think I’m getting there

The problem seems to be to do with the Customize Permalink Structure.

I’ve discovered that if I use the default permalink structure then everything works just fine.
If I use the custom setting and set it to:
/index.php/%postname%/ then I can get all my categories to work – but not the pages.

The same thing happens if I use the following custom link
/index.php/%category%/%postname%/ , categories will work but not the pages

For the moment I’ve reverted back to the default setting and everything is working fine but I’d like to get the URL to look like something a real person made.

Any suggestions.

Kevin

edited to give update.

I’ve now managed to remove the WordPress Opening Post page.

Now when I key in my url I’m now presented with the WordPress Famous Five minutes welcome page with an invite to fill in my details.

If I key in my url e.g. https://www.mydomain.com it defaults automatically to https://www.mydomain.com/wp-admin/install.php. Again if I key in a complete address https://www.mydomain.com/myfolder/page1.html I get a 404 not found

Don’t understand what is going on can anyone offer help

Kevin

Like it, it has that certain print feeling about it. Adds authority in a certain kind of way.

How did you manage to get the header image to work I’ve been trying that for several days now and no joy.

Kevin

I’ve been doing the same thing ie. hunting around for ways to add captions to images and especially to hyper link them. Unfortunately my knowledge of CSS is limited.

I’m sure you are hoping that your ‘almost’ will change to a ‘yes that’s what I want,’ with a little input from members?

Help me out in the meantime with a little on the CSS rules you mentioned above; where do you actually put that CSS? Does it become a seperate CSS file in wp-admin-css and then call it something like ‘captions.css, or is it added into the CSS script of the theme in use?

I’m sure there are loads of other bloggers out there like myself trying to do what seem simple but not knowing quite how to go about it, so thanks on all our behalf for any help offered

Kevin

You might get some ideas from this:

Many thanks for your reply kmessinger; the problem now seems to be resolved

Kevin

I think the important question is how much experience with WP does a person need to get a magazine type theme like I mentioned above up and running? Is it a relatively straight-forward process or is it one that you really have to have some experience of WP before you begin?
