The Custom upload dir plugin would handle could do half of what I want, but seems to lack the ability to browse images that are already placed in different folders on the server.
(Neither is it compatible with WP newer than 2.3.1)
Any ideas – please?

Found it – hardcoded in the header.php file
The solution was to remove a line, in this case the 2nd of these two (the second generates the rest of the menu):

1ST LINE <?php wp_list_pages(‘sort_column=menu_order&depth=5&title_li=’);?>
2ND LINE <li class=”page_item”>/?page=1″ title=”Home”>Blog

The clou was to understand how a theme is built up – and which files you can mess with without ruining everything.

Quite right
I had to get the Loop into the template.
This pulls the posts’ content into the page, but only (of course) the part above the –more–
Just as you said.
So – thanks
Kjetil

PS – no double Loop found in any template, moshu. Forget looking after it now; I’ve changed a lot on the site

Exploder 6 is truly a very strange browser which behaves very weird. I’ve had lots of problems making websites work even in IE6.
I would absolutely recommend Firefox, which I believe is the browser that is most standard-complient. (Believe that’s the right word?)
I have also had problems with Apples Safari, so even being a Mac user doesn’t make everything from that part perfect.
But – ditch IE 6.

IF you would like to keep IE 6 for testing, you can install both IE6 and IE 7 on the same PC.

PS
Even Microsoft has put in hacks in many of their web pages to make them work in IE6. Funny?

Thanks
Had tried that before posting, without getting enough details.
But – the solution lies within the index.php, and not in some template file or the like – right?
(If so, maye I can figure it out using the info on the codex page. Just need to know where to search.)

Even better:
The index.php contains this line:
<?php the_content(‘Read more…’); ?>
Is this the part to modify?

Maybe the question is as simple as this:
How can I make posts in one certain category (like Toscana) appear in a page on their own – a page that is accessible directly in the main menu?
(I’m setting up a site with a dropdown main menu. Toscana will be among the links “falling down” when clicking Italia – as it is on Dolcevita today -> “Italia rundt”)
Anyone knows?

Tried the Email Users plugin?
Hope that’s what you’re looking for.

I don’t know about that exact error, but I just had to ask my ISP to turn off safe-mode – to make a crucial plugin run.

It remains to see if I now run the risk of being hacked.

(The plugin is the socalled WPremix editor, necessary to make the WPremix theme work.)

Thanks a lot, Adam
We’re getting closer to something here.
But – two qestions:

• Does “customizing your theme” include rewriting or modifying php?
  (I don’t know too much about php, but inserting some code snippets should be possible.)
• How do I make just posts assigned to the Toscana category appear automatically and just in the Toscana page?
  I know you can click category links to open a category’s posts, but here Toscana has to appear as a normal link in a normal/main menu – like it is under Italia at Dolcevita.no.

Maybe I’ve just missed something here, even if I’ve used WP for about a year.

Thanks again
Kjetil

Thanks a lot – now I know where to start looking.

Anyone
– expected this to an easy one:
How to rename the “Blog” (and “Blog” link) which appears in a fresh WP installation.
I’ve done it before, so at least it WAS possible (in version 1.8). Something that’s left out now?
Thanks

Sorry – just setting up a trial site here:
https://www.dolcevita.no/wp/ – with the Blog as the final and not-to-get-rid-off link.

If its a theme issue, I’d be glad to no. (The remix theme is commercial, so I’l get my answers there – if that’s the correct address.
To choose an other theme is not an option – I hope…)
Thanks ??
Kjetil

Thanks,
I’m aware of the possibility to giv WP its own directory, but that’s not what I’m actually asking about.
I just need to rename the link labelled “Blog”.
From the beginning, when you install WP, there are 2 links in the menu: Blog (with a post and a comment in it) and About. About is a normal page, which you can rename or even delet under Manage -> Pages.
But what about Blog? I can delete the post in it (“Hello world!”), but not delete Blog itself because its not in the Pages overview page.
Its no problem to keep the Blog page – if I could just rename it.
Thanks,
Kjetil

Solved!
A BIG HAND to MichaelH for taking his time. Where would we normal guys be without (busy but) helpful people with real know-how? Thanks!

Solution
When/ if WP really screws up, this was the way to solve it:
(In this case my WP installation was in its own wp folder)
On the server – via ftp:
– rename the existing wp folder, to eg. wp_old
– create a new wp folder and upload a fresh wordpress installation. Don’t touch the index.php or the eventual .htaccess files outside the wp folder (eg. on the site root).
Remember: Most of the contents from the site are stored in the MySQL database, so you won’t loose that.
– From the wp_old folder, download the wp-content folder to your local wp folder.
(- Upload eventual selfmade photo folders to the wp/wp-contents folder.)
– Upload the theme you used – to the wp/wp-contents/themes folder. Check if everything looks OK.
– Upload your plugins one by one after checking which are compatible with your current WP version. Check for each plugin if everything works.

Important
The WP-Cache plugin MIGHT have caused the problems. The plugin has added a new 3rd line in the wp-config.php file – which in turn might have triggered both cache error messages and made login impossible.

That should be it. You get a fresh installation, keep your contents an run no risk of getting the same problem over again.

Thanks a lot for giving it a try, but the problem’s still the same:
“Internal server error” when I try to login.
Now not even the site shows up, it just reappears if I re-upload the contents/cache folder. (No wp-content/plugins/cache folder in there)

Since placing my question I have also
– replaced the wp-login.php file with a fresh one – no difference
– making a new downgrade, ensuring to transfer all in ascii mode (though the images would look funny, it should work)

COULD IT BE IMPORTANT
– that the wp-login.php file has no owner nor group defined (in info window – the neighbouring files have)

I’ve also tried to check all possibilities in the troubleshooting page here – apart from ajusting the MySQL settings on the server.
(By the way, I’ve also asked the ISP if it could be some soerver problem, but no answer in 24 hours)

Still most grateful for any other tips – as for now to setup wp from scratch seems like a way to do it, but its rather radical.
The funny thing is that I’ve done upgrades on another site for a year without any problems – now I’m rather lost

Thanks,
Kjetil
