Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Problem transferring wordpress to a new urlMany thanks. I’ve now got the site working properly. For anyone with a similar problem, it was just a case of going into miscellaneous settings and changing the uploads folder to the default, wp-content/uploads.
However, there is still one problem. The simple hit counter no longer works. It is still there and it is still activated but it is no longer working. I am just seeing dashes where I should be seeing numbers. I can’t find any information on how I should fix this. If anyone has any ideas I would be very grateful.

In reply to: I’ve installed a hit counter plug-in but it isn’t showingI didn’t get any replies on this but I have since worked it out.
In case anyone else is having a similar problem, the answer was that I was uploading the plug-in as a nested file, ie it was a folder within a folder of the same name and so WordPress couln’t find it.
For a proper demonstration try this tutorial which explains all>

In reply to: How to add links to external sites like google mapsI’ve upload page links to my plug-ins directory using filezilla. I can see it there but it isn’t appearing in my manage plug-ins panel, either in the active or inactive section. How do I make it appear so I can activate it?

In reply to: How can I reset and start designing again from scratch?I’ve already deleted the old default theme and uploaded a new default theme but when I try to use it, it just wraps itself around my old site so I suppose I must have changed the core files. Would it be easier just to delete the existing wordpress and upload a new one. Or could I just replace some of the core files. the trouble is, I’m not sure which ones I’ve edited.

In reply to: Still struggling to add image to header despite changing the CSSThanks Esmi. I’ve now sorted this by going back to your original suggestion of changing the kubrickheader.jpg. It worked this time. I’m not sure why it didn’t work the first time but it’s working now so thank you for that. Much appreciated.

In reply to: Adding image to headerThanks. I’ll try that. I’ve been trying to follow the instructions from ‘Changing the header image’ which said I should go into the the header.php and change replace kubrickheader.jpg with the name of my new graphic, but I can’t see kubrickheader.jpg anywhere. I’ve pasted in the code below. Will your approach work with this php code.
