Lily,

Were you abel to resolve your earlier issue with the site not working?

If so, can you let us know what resolved that issue?

Were you able to locate the wp-config file?

Okay….I wouldn’t imagine then it was permalinks.

If you don’t knwo what the wp-config file is then that may be your problem.

The error appears to be from the database connection. Inside the wp-config files is the database user, database password, database name, etc. which is used to connect to the database.

If you didnt set that up, someone had to because you say it was once working (or am I assuming it worked).

I dont know what hosting service you are using but if you have access to the FTP, the wp-config file should be in the htdocs or httpdocs folder.

Anyone have any thoughts?

Lily,

The wp-config file should be in the root folder or wherever your blog is housed.

For instance, I would imagine the wp-config file is housed in the smokeandmirrors folder.

Also, if you’ve changed permalinks or something of the sort it could interrupt the site.

Did you change your wp-config.php settings to the correct settings you setup during the WP install?

It’s most likely an issue with your config settings, not wordpress or the web hosting service.

Well it appears the versions are different. On my live site I am using PHP 5.2.6 and on the local site it is using PHP 5.2.9.

Would that be possible to change how things are in my wordpress installs?

I will try to repoduce the error in my local install.

No error when testing. Just sent request to server admins to upgrade PHP.

I wouldnt have to create multiple threads if there was some credible answers.

If you read to the right of the topic discussion you will see I am using WP 2.8. However, I’ve had this issue since I upgraded to 2.7. Just all of a sudden the issue arose.

I’ve been using the same plugins – Featured Content Gallery, WP Super Cache, Google XML Sitemap, and SimplePie for WP.

I am not sure what the deal is, but I have a local copy of my website on my desktop and posting works fine. All plugins are installed on the local machine and have no issues.

I did a test post on my live site without any custom fields and the posting worked fine. I did this three more times with one of those times using custom fields and it worked.

However, all of the tests posts were just text, no coding at all. Could this be an issue now?

Shirley,

I had this problem today actually and found a solution. This might not work for you though. On the plugin home page, in the FAQ section, you will find a note about the plugin not being able to be written too.

You should be able to fix this by creating a new file (open notepad and save file as sitemap.xml, and another as sitemap.xml.gz) and then upload to your root folder using an FTP program. Once they are uploaded to the root directly, change the file permissions to either 755 or 777 as suggested by the site.

This should work.
