Thank you, Tara. I will scan my site as you suggest.

Just, FYI, I am the only user. No one else is registered on my site and therefore no one other than myself [can] have the theme/role capabilities you infer.

Thanks again, I will run the check and report back its result.

Sheesh! I’m glad www.ads-software.com forums don’t have emoticons because that was exactly the problem. Ctrl^0 did the trick.

Thanks so much for the quick response.

Word is not interchangeable or transferable to WP. In fact, it will likely get corrupted. You need to use a text editor that does not add formatting.

Thanks for the quick response, but getting the Hebrew text into WP from Word (or any other editor — I use a number of the ones on the recommended list you referenced — thanks, btw) is not a problem.

Here’s a typical problem:

(1) copy Hebrew text from BibleWorks into {some editor} and compose the post.
(2) copy the post (containing Hebrew and English) into the WP Editor.
(3) Everything is hunky-dory except the WP Editor changes font to ariel…
(4) Begin wailing and knashing of teeth.

Alternative,

(1) Copy Hebrew text from BibleWorks (uses BWHebb font) or my Hebrew editor (uses “Times New Roman” and lots of other fonts) directly into WP.
(2) WP displays “ù??áàéàêè” (Yes, I have BWHebb and every other Hebrew font imaginable installed on my system).
(3) Begin wailing and knashing of teeth.

I’ve done some CSS coding in the past and am willing to modify the style.css file if that is what it takes.

By the way, I’m using TwentyTen.

Cheers,

Do you mean the font in the editor or the font as it appears on the page/post?

Both! But if only one, I’d be satisfied with the display being correct for the page/post.

Thanks,

Thank you for your prompt and good advice.

Topic is now closed.

Thanks you so much.

My theme supports menus and I’ve created a test menu that does not have the “automatically add…” checked.

So, per your instructions, I’ve created a menu and added some links to it. So, now my question is this: what do you mean by “hook the menu into your header”?

Again, thanks so much. This question has been on my mind for quite some time.

Cheers,

Michael

Thank you for the quick response. I appreciate your help.

Hmmmm, in the absence of a response (and after backing up everything per my OP), I attempted to upgrade to the latest WAMP distribution and attempted in import my database. No joy! I was unable to restore the WP database tables. No matter what database backup I tried, I get an SQL Syntax error.

I was attempting to upgrade from 5.5.16 to 5.5.20. In anticipation of problems, I had made multiple different SQL backups including backups created by mysqldump and phpMyAdmin both with and without “SET FOREIGN_KEY_CHECKS”.

So, once again. What am I missing? I have a rather vanilla (and small) WP installation. I disabled all plugins prior to backing anything up. How in the world do others accomplish this task — a task that is absolutely vital to a self-hosted blog?

Cheers,

Michael
P.S. I’ve given up for the moment. I simply restored my original installation with no problems.

Thanks for the quick reply, alas I’ve tried all that. Specifically, I’ve attempted the restore using the following 4 scenerios (among others):

NOTE: In all cases the versions of MySQL are identical on both machines (as are the phpMyAdmin version)

1) sqldump from old 32-bit machine, restore on new 64-bit machine using MySQL in WAMP-64 — FAIL

2) phpMyAdmin db export from old 32-machine then phpMyAdmin import using MySQL in WAMP-64 — FAIL

3) sqldump from old 32-bit machine, restore on new 64-bit machine using MySQL in WAMP-32 — FAIL
4) phpMyAdmin db export from old 32-machine then phpMyAdmin import using MySQL in WAMP-32 — FAIL

I’m at my wit’s end…

The path to my website is https://thussaidthelord.com. This URL maps to my server at C:\wamp\www. A user is then redirected to a subdirectory, .\blog (C:\wamp\www\blog) in which the files of the wp installation reside.

Using thussaidthelord or thussaidthelord/blog both result in a 403 error, suggesting a permissions problem.

When using localhost, however, the behavior is different. In this case, localhost/blog opens the website in text-only mode. However, clicking any of the site’s internal links garners another 403 error. But, here’s the strange thing — when I return to the previous page, it is displayed perfectly including the images.

Any suggestions as to how to proceed would be very, very much appreciated.

Michael

OK, after I did the above steps here is what happens when I try to bring up the site (https://localhost/blog):

1) It takes up to 3 minutes to display the first page.
2) No images are displayed. The page is text only.
3) Clicking on any link (e.g., to another page) takes another 3 minutes, but this time it fails to find the page with the error message

“Oops! Internet Explorer could not connect to your website.”

Browsing the Database with phpadmin shows that all the tables are there.

Any suggestions?

Michael

Thanks, so much. I’ll give it a whirl.

Cheers,

I forgot to mention that I tried to register the podcast with iTunes, iTunes rejected the URL as ill-formed. However, I used the URL suggested by BluBrry.

A couple of other notes:

First: Each episode of the podcast is on a separate static page – not a post in a blogroll. Does this make a difference.

Second: When I look through the directory structure for the directories in the feed URL links, they aren’t there. For example,
the feed recommended by the plugin is

https://.../blog/feed/podcast/

However, the directories ‘feed’ and ‘podcast’ do not exist?

Well, any clarification on these, or other misunderstandings, would be appreciated,

Cheers,

Michael

Thanks to both of you, but I discovered that the mod_rewrite.so was not enabled in htppd.conf. I was confused because the permalinks editing page wasn’t showing an error.

I wonder how difficult it would be to add a runtime check to see whether mod_rewrite() is enabled and issue a warning if it’s not.

Anyway, all is well and thanks again for your time.

Michael

Thanks, again. However, I know what you asked. My server is running Windows 7 — I’m self-hosting using the latest WAMP.

Cheers,

Michael
