I am using WordPress 1.5, but I’m not sure what you’re asking me to post.
Thanks.
Not having a sidebar is not an option for me. I’m currently using the Neuron theme:
https://bluegator.org:66/devel/themes/1.5/Neuron/
I’m not seeing in the sidebar.php of this theme what exactly to edit.
I need to achieve what I stated in the subject line, to continue using this theme.
My other alternative I’m looking at is Steam:
Steam v1.5
https://steamedpenguin.com/design/Steam/
and I don’t see where in sidebar.php to do this.
I’m suspecting that I’m missing something really obvious here. ??Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Changing links in blogroll and meta tables.Hello Again davestinner!
And thank you again for your help.
The following is the contents of my sidebar.php file for Neuron.
I know that netiqquette dictates I should email the author, but he seems to be unable to receive mail at the moment, and I’d like to use this theme and make it work.
If this means I have to revert to the defaut WP theme (which actually is pretty cool) then so be-it, provided it doesn’t cause some radical uprising of WP fanatics. ??
Still figuring out how that end works…Thanks again…

THANK YOU for your help earlier.
I probably have some other constructive input, let me think about it.
Remember that as this software gets more popular, you have less programmer-types installing it. Your documentation is written from an “assume you know” point of view. Some of the language could be made more clear for the layman.
Not a criticism, just an observation.
All in all, the installation was not that painful.
And, may I note, your blog is hilarious.
Thanks.
I’m sure I’ll be back with more newbie questions.
Such as,1. Why can’t I see my site in FireFox for OSX? (Keeps defaulting to the TextDrive site here soon screen).
2. I received a reply to the default Hello World post here:
https://bassman.textdriven.com/
from a nice gentleman named Mr WordPress.
When I try to reply to this nice gentlemen’s post, I get a message:Precondition Failed
The precondition on the request for the URL /wp-comments-post.php evaluated to false.
I get the same message in both IE and in Safari.
Perhaps I’ll reboot my powerbook.
Otherwise, I’m posting like a champ, I was worried about that phase but boy is it easy, if I never get replies, well so be it. The 3 people reading my rants can email me.
But of course, I’d like the whole thing to work, for testing purposes only, of course. ??Thanks,

Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Stuck at step 5 from the codex installation pageI made a boo-boo.
Clueless me, but the installation instructions should be more clear, or maybe I need new glasses.
I uploaded the contents of the extracted WordPress folder to the root level of my site.
Apparently they needed to go into my /home/rbassman/public_html folder.
(Thanks to Justin at TextDrive)
I’m somewhat new to all things web (having realized I should learn something about how it works), but I am pretty competent with file structure concepts and stuff, so this isn’t that weird to me. Yet.I posted my current status in this thread:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic.php?id=26705Connecting to my site, I’m getting this:
Error establishing a database connection
This either means that the username and password information in your wp-config.php file is incorrect or we can’t contact the database server at localhost.
* Are you sure you have the correct username and password?
* Are you sure that you have typed the correct hostname?
* Are you sure that the database server is running?This is the relavent content of my wp-config.php file:
I’m certain that lines 2 and 3 are correct.
The database name is the default I got from TextDrive setting up an account. I have not changed this.
I’m waitint to hear from them if line 4 has to change?
Or is there something else mucking this up that I’m being completely ignorant of?Thanks in advance for any help.
define(‘rbassman’, ‘wordpress’); // The name of the database
define(‘rbassman’, ‘username’); // Your MySQL username
define(‘**********’, ‘password’); // …and password
define(‘DB_HOST’, ‘localhost’); // 99% chance you won’t need to change this valueForum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionI’m getting the same error message, attempting to access my site to run the installer script. I ran the php script above (thanks!), and this is what it reports.
Could not connect: Unknown MySQL server host ‘mysql_host’ (3).
I’m using TextDrive, is this something I need to contact them about, or have I not set my wp-config.php file properly?

In reply to: Stuck at step 5 from the codex installation pageI just logged out and logged back in, everything is there. I just sent a note to TextDrive support so let’s see what they have to say.
Thanks.Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Stuck at step 5 from the codex installation pageI can’t believe I just mis-spelled “theoretically”. jeesh.
Anyway, yes, I believe I did. I extracted and posted the contents of the WordPress folder, but not the folder itself, to the root level of my site.
