I Dont use this account Anymore why is it still here

If Discussions is ticked, then just underneath the text box where you write your post, there should be a seperate section called “Discussions”?

No idea then – I’m surprised to here you have 2000 lines in your wp-config.php when there should really only be about 90 or so.

Try reuploading your wp-config.php file (or rather, saving a copy and renaming your wp-config.sample.php) – remember to put your database settings in there.

When creating / editing the post or pgae, top right, Screen Options -> ensure Discussions is ticked. Under Discussion, there should be two options “Allow Comments” and “Allow Trackbacks and pingbacks” on this page.

I am assuming by the way you are using WordPress 3.2.1

You are not referring to the wp-config.php file are you? If not, where is this config.php file?

I’ve been trying to work this out on a project I’m doing at the moment. I’ve been looking for a widget that allows the user to view posts only by a particular author. I am aware that clicking on the authors name on a particular blog does exactly this, but the average user I’ve encountered can not work this out.

Therfore, for the time being, I’ve had to create categories with the authors name, and use the standard view posts by category widget.

Kinda revolving around this : https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Function_Reference/get_the_author

Have you tried turning permalinks off and see if it works?

Ok ??

I used Firebug and changed the following:

background: #111 url(images/bg.jpg) repeat-y center top;

to

background: #FFF;

and it worked fine for me. Don’t know, but there may be another stylesheet overwriting it, but I’m not seeing it.

Try it again and let me know once you’ev changed it – don’t change it back though ??

I’ve just logged onto your site and your body style tag is still:

body {
background: #111 url(images/bg.jpg) repeat-y center top;
color: #BBB;
font: normal 62.5% “Lucida Sans Unicode”,sans-serif;
}

Have you made the changes in WordPress admin (Appearance -> Editor), and if so, did you click “Update File” once you made the changes? Have you downloaded the css file, made changes and not uploaded it? Have you edited the right css file if there is more than one? Have you changed the css file of the active theme?

Looking at your copy and paste up above, looks like you’ve got the right file, but the changes haven’t been made….

No worries ?? in fact, I meant just the body tag.

Where it says:

body {
background: #111 url(images/bg.jpg) repeat-y center top;
color: #BBB;
font: normal 62.5% “Lucida Sans Unicode”,sans-serif;
}

Change everything after background to simply #FFF and you should be good to go.

Should look like this:

body {
background: #FFF;
color: #BBB;
font: normal 62.5% “Lucida Sans Unicode”,sans-serif;
}

Looks to be a repeated background image attached to ‘body, input, textarea’ in your style sheet (style.css). Take that out you should be good to go.

This sounds like a problem with your host and not with WordPress, have you tried contacting them?

Have you checked that you have the right hostname, username and password in your wp-config.php file?

Have a look at this: https://en.forums.wordpress.com/topic/error-establishing-a-database-connection-1

Drop and Drag should be fine so long as your overwriting what’s there.

Could try using the latest version of WordPress, 3.2.1. Perhaps the plugin upgrade broke your site because you were using an old version of WordPress, but that’s only a guess.

And you’ve got the right hostname, username and password in your wp-config.php file?
