I’ve used backupscheduler plugin to backup my whole site but I rather do everything I can not to have to restore first;)

Excellent, I don’t know how I missed that, thanks.

Many thanks

I’ve hidden comments using screen options but want to remove the Comments menu item from contributors’ dashboards so that they can’t see unmoderated comments.

I’m using the twenty ten theme and have a static ‘Home’ page as my frontpage. I don’t wish to have the ‘Home’ title appear on my frontpage but do wish to have titles on all my other pages and post pages. Any ideas?

Thanks MichaelH, first method worked for me.

Just for the record, I have the same problem as derker on various blogs and versions up to 2.9.2. Had to give myself another username to be an author.

The theme owner wrote this reply on the Author’s blog:

“The WordPress 2.9 updated the jQuery library and cause that error.

To fix that, open the ‘inc/custom-colors.php’ and change the ’select[@name = ‘color_scheme’]‘ to ’select[name = ‘color_scheme’]‘, problably on line 766.”

It worked for me, at least for the pre-defined colour customisations.

I’ve recently upgraded to WordPress 2.9.2 and have tried the colour customisation in Painter 1.1 which doesn’t seem to have an effect. Neither does changing the colour for the header text in the header image customisation. I don’t remember this being a problem with earlier WordPress versions.

Thanks asechrest, I will give it a go. I’d seen it but wasn’t sure whether it was still supported or worked within WP 2.7

I meant to say, which are the changed files?

Yipee! Thanks

You gan change the wording “Do your comment” in the index.php file.

I would like to use the threaded comments with Painter and was wondering if it is likely to be updated in the near future.

In the meantime, is there anything wrong in deleting the comments.php file so that it uses the default comments.php file instead? I had a go at this and it looks ok and the styling loses are minimal.

Thanks folks. I’ve had a look at the Hive approach but it doesn’t say whether it is compatible with WordPress 2.7 and it doesn’t appear to allow subdirectory installs at the moment (only subdomain).

I presume this method: https://me.mywebsight.ws/2006/08/11/host-multiple-wp-sites-on-one-installation/ will also require me to set up subdomains?

I’ve had a quick go with WPMU but haven’t quite got it right yet but will persevere! At least I can fall back on single WordPress installs if if only have to change the table prefixes.
