Will do! Thanks for the speedy reply.

I think I see the problem. When I add a shortcode to a Text box widget, it doesn’t work. (The shortcodes from the Ajax Event Calendar would display when used this way, so I thought these would work too.) If I put these shortcodes in the text of a page, they display correctly.

Is there a way around this or should I change to having a static home page and rework it?

I’m having the same issue and the meta box does display.

I am trying to use the “Events Categories” not the Post “Categories”. Is that correct?

There doesn’t seem to be much going on here in the northlands but I’d be willing to help start a meetup if anyone was interested.

Reply with days of the week, times, and or topics that would be of interest.

I moving to Vermont and would love to become a part of the WordPress Meetup if it happens.

Got it. Thank you.

You have a lot of patience with newbies. Thanks again.

Sorry, but I don’t understand exactly what the rel=”” is for. I had originally used the insert photo feature on the WordPress page, went to the nextgen gallery, selected the photo in thumbnail format, and inserted it. The link had the empty rel=””. And I had it working. Now it doesn’t work.

I tried adding rel=’set_1′ and it didn’t help.

I removed the nextgen plugin and all related files and deleted the directories manually. I reinstalled nextgen and started rebuilding the galleries. No luck with or without the rel being set to something.

This was a prepacked version of WordPress so we only have access to the content folder. Reinstalling WordPress was Plan B but I’m concerned that things still might not work due to the hosting company. Thank you for your help and advice!

I should have mentioned that even if I take out the jQuery and other lightbox code, it doesn’t work.

Do you think that #1 is due to the version 2.9.2 or the hosting services at Earthlink?

Let’s try that line of code again:
<a class="fancybox-youtube" href="https://www.youtube.com/v/W23UqkcqJDs">Porcelain</a>

The instructions tell me to edit index.php but I don’t have the line in my file that they’re asking me to change.

Change the following and save the file. Change the line that says:
require(‘./wp-blog-header.php’);
to the following, using your directory name for the WordPress core files:
require(‘./wordpress/wp-blog-header.php’);

I have this

<?php get_header(); ?>

Thank you!

In your opinion is this the best way to move a staging site to the live site?
– copy and upload the site’s theme and plugins folders
– download and upload the database

Thanks again. You’re a life saver.

Duh. Well that helped! I guess I really don’t understand how wordpress knows which database it’s supposed to pick out of mysql if it’s not set in the wp_config file. (But it might just be too late for me to get it right now.) Thank you so much for hanging in there with me!

As I said before, I tried copying the user and password out of the database and into the wp_config.php file. I just tried it again to be sure and it didn’t work. Since the password in the data base is encrypted, I tried copying the encrypted password and the using the regular password in the wp_config.php file and neither worked.

Out of curiosity the ‘root’ username and password were in my local wp_config.php file but the admin username and password were in my local sql database. Why did that work on my local system and not when I uploaded it to the live site?
