how can I mark posts as articles of a determined issue of the magazine, and how to retrieve them as they were forming a number of a printed publication.

There are many ways, depending on how much you’re willing to tweak with the back end.

The simplest way I can think of is to mark all articles belonging to an issue as published on the same day, with cover story published at 23:59, the second story, at 23:58, and so on. Then a simple link to the publication date will render the issue. An issue selector can then be implemented by modifying either the Archive functionality (for a monthly or quarterly magazine) or the Calendar functionality (for a more-often-than-monthly publication).

I doubt you’re going to find anything, as both products just went through a major overhaul; phpBB 3 was released less than two months ago, while WordPress had major changes to its user management effective version 2.5…

Upload it to the site and provide a link to it.

You can find your WordPress version on the bottom of any administration screen. As to not updating, everything will continue to work the way it worked. One potential problem with not updating is that sometimes software contains security vulnerabilities. So if your version has them, it could be possible for a malicious hacker to exploit them.

This can be done, no question about it. Any half-decent plugin developer should be able to custom-code it for you.

If you don’t want to store posts on the “home page”, all you really need to do it to write a simple PHP script that would poll the RSS feeds from your third-party blogs and display links to posts. You don’t even need WordPress on your “home page”.

If you do want to store posts on the “home page”, consider using the FeedWordPress plugin.

Log into your WordPress installation and click on Presentation, then on Theme Editor, then on Sidebar. Delete (or comment out) the stuff you don’t need. (WARNING: some understanding of PHP programming may be required…)

This is something you should ask your hosting company. Also, it’s entirely possible that your www folder is simply a symlink for public_html, i.e., www is just another name for public_html (if memory serves, iPower hosting accounts used to have that setup).

You can install GD anywhere you want (provided that Apache has access rights to that location), but you need to tell PHP where it is by running configure --with-gd[=DIR] where DIR is the location of GD. For more information, refer to PHP Manual.

And MichaelH is right; GoDaddy’s Windows plan doesn’t have PHP (it’s either ASP or ASP.Net; a couple extra dollars will buy you ColdFusion), so you can’t run WordPress on a Windows server at GoDaddy (unless, of course, it’s a dedicated server, which you can configure to your liking).

Not in the way you think about it… What you seem to refer to is called “static content”. WordPress, however, generates content dynamically, but retrieving it from a database.

You absolutely can run WordPress on a local network, but you need an HTTP server with PHP support and a MySQL database server (both servers, needless to say, can run on the same physical machine). In terms of your example, you can’t run WordPress on \\mydomain\myshare\myblog.htm, but you definitely can run it on https://mydomain/myshare/…
