And then how do I add them for only the pages I want them on?

Yes, I saw those two- which is why I mentioned seeing them

My question is are those the only shortcodes available.

And if so, what can I do to get the comments off of certain pages?

Everything is working fine- but that importer thing didn’t work well for me. Probably because I have a theme with it’s own settings.
None the less, all went well- so far….I just need to rebuild some small widgets. No problem

After I export the tools- how to I import it. When I click on the import option in wp – it only gives me a list of things to import such as blogger, blogroll, etc…but no option to import this XML file.

Do I install this wordpress importer? weird

Wait, what if I created the new db, and user on my server before I uploaded everything?

Okay- so, here’s my questions with regards to each step.

1- Upload all your files on your new sever
So for this one, I just make sure my directory is wherever I want it and then just upload everything? Right now, all of my files are in xampp>htdocs In htdocs is my sites (local) directory (mysite)
So, do I just move this directory to the matching directory on my server? Will wordpress automatically install in doing this? Will my themes automatically install when doing this?

2 – Download the db
Download which db? My local db?

3 – Find and replace the old domain name and change to the new one
Find it where?

4 – Upload the new db on your server.
Upload it where on my server?

This is what I’m talking about. Several people say to refer to the codex, but the codex isn’t for moving from local to live- the section on their codex which addresses doing this says “coming soon”

On one hand, you are referring to the codex, wrought with a long list of (to the layman) complicated steps – but then on the other hand, you give 4 general steps. Should I be following the codex verbatim and treating this as one server to another or should I take a generalized approach which you outlined in 4 steps?

hi mikejolley

I am also having the same problem.
Is this a fix you posted? What is it that I need to do exactly to fix this?

Thanks for your help!
