hi,

the latest update fixed the issue that i reported before thank you! ??

may i suggest that the Site Title and Tagline be moved above the header image as they are with the 2010 theme?

at present they do not read well displayed over the Atmosphere header image and because the image can be changed there is no guarantee that this will not be the case with other user selected images.

thank you for work. your doing a great job! ??

hi,

i like this theme and i want to use it.

however there is an empty picture frame in the far right column that remains visible as one scrolls down.

is this okay? is there something that i should add to be displayed there?

please advise.

ty for the help james ??

one just gives the path relative to the url. and sets the permissions to the same as the other sibling directories.

hi,

i think that you have to add some categories for that to go away. i know it seems frivolous at first but as you add posts to your blog they become a handy cross reference.

so try and add a category to page where you edit your post.

i have changed the wordpress user home dir to /usr/share/wordpress (usermod -d /usr/share/wordpress wordpress). but when i ftp into the server i am located in /home….

but pwd says i am in /? i have learned that i can make some changes that are usually made in wp-config.php in wp-settings.php. so we have some wiggle room there.

you can see from the contents of wp-config.php the absolute path is already set to /usr/share/wordpress…

<?php
/** WordPress's Debianised default master config file
Please do NOT edit and read about how the configuration works in the README.Debi
an
**/

require_once('/etc/wordpress/config-'.strtolower($_SERVER['HTTP_HOST']).'.php');

define('ABSPATH', '/usr/share/wordpress/');

require_once(ABSPATH.'wp-settings.php');
?>

please advise.

indeed they can…

problem solved!

i am puzzling over these thing now. i host my own site so i have complete control over things.

i can give a username and pw but i get the error wp-content not found.

subsequently i believe that i must create a user on the server called “wordpress” that will have its home dir set to /usr/share/wordpress (where wordpress is on my machine).

subsequently i can give write accesss privledges to the wordpress user/group only.

by restring read/write privledges to a wordpress group this could solve allot of the problems that might be coming from some admins setting file permissions to loosely which could open the door to hacking.

this is educated speculation but i believe it is the path to a more secure wordpress.

hi,

i followed the instructions here to install…
https://linux.justinhartman.com/Wordpress_Installation_on_Debian

there were a few warnings i ignored from the command “a2ensite example.com”.

then when i ran “/usr/share/doc/wordpress/examples/setup-mysql -n example example.com” i got permission denied.

the solution was to chmod 700 /usr/share/doc/wordpress/examples/setup-mysql then everything worked fine following the instructions on the link i gave.

i have upgraded to wordpress 3.0 beta 1 from the apt-get 2.0.12 wordpress install as follows…

download and unpack wordpress 3.0 in /usr/share

delete the <wordpress3.0>.zip file
delete old database,
delete /etc/wordpress/config-<yoursite>.com.php
run /usr/share/doc/wordpress/examples/setup-mysql -n example example.com to setup the new database and config file.

proceed as with 5min install.

notes: i keep getting the notice “Notice: You’re using the auto-generated password for your account. Would you like to change it to something you’ll remember easier?
Yes, take me to my profile page | No thanks, do not remind me again” eventhough i tried each option to get rid of it.

hi,

i assigned 755 to /usr/share/wordpress/wp-content (chmod -R 755 wp-content) and i am still getting the same error. but adding the plugins to wordpress/wp-content/plugins by hand does work.

my site is self hosted so i am the root.

i believe that the problem is when wp admin logs in for ftp sessions with the server it is in the server admin home directory not the wordpress admin directory as it expects.

i should start a new thread for this yes?

thank you.
