Hi,

I said that I’d try and give then a hand with this but seems like I need a hand to ??

They want to change the words “February Events” to “Current Events” in the box below “What’s New” and on the left of “Restaurants”.

It’s a part of the Revolution Pro Media 1.0 template.

Their site is at ..

thanks,

I installed ..

https://www.arnebrachhold.de/projects/wordpress-plugins/google-xml-sitemaps-generator/

a couple of days ago and it worked right out of the box.

Mike

thank you both.

I have WordPress 2.65 working locally but I will wait a little bit longer before going with 2.7

I switched to W98 as soon as it came out but spent more time in the firt nine months trying to fix it than I did using it ??

Mike

thanks for the reply.

No, I don’t have a links widget that I can add.

Is there one that you can recommend?

I could do the coding with a little help but the widget would seem the easiest way to go.

Mike

thanks,

I received this from the good folks over at XAMPP

Mike

In your path tree on your hosted server my guess is you will not have the wordpress folder as normally you would install to the web root of your server and all the config paths in WordPress use relative paths ie. /wp-admin/install.php

So you can’t use this path in XAMPP to go to /wp-admin/install.php which equates to https://localhost/wp-admin/install.php which does not exists (404 error) – web root (or ServerRoot) is htdocs folder which is / in XAMPP and you have /wordpress/ as your root for WP.

The WP chain of command goes like this:
install.php requires wp-config.php which requires wp-settings.php which contains all the relative path information.
So when you go to https://localhost/wordpress/wp-admin/install.php (also note the install.php in the address not just simply install) it tries to find and load the above files but because /wordpress/ is not in the relative path it fails with a 404 not found error in your browser.

Sounds complex because it is when you try and mirror an installation on a hosted Linux Apache server with one in a Windows Apache server.

there is a bug in the new version and techies are working to fix it.

set the permalink to ‘default’ until the fix comes.

Mike

If you’re using the latest version of wordpress then it has a bug and the techies are working on it.

I changed from /%postname%/ to default and all the links came back again.

Mike

Hi,

I have the same problem “Cannot load Chicklet-Creator/chicklet-creator.php”.

The php file is in the folder.

Also only one of the icons shows up on my ‘chicklet creator options’ page – ‘winksite’ which suggests that the folder is in the right place.

I have tried uploading again via FTP but to no avail.

Mike

thanks.

I’m on a steep learning curve!

Mike

I changed the attribute for a folder and not a file which is apparently a ‘no no’.

Mike

Problem solved but 110mb need to supply a roadmap when they sell services.

They are using ‘local host’.

The set up is easy when you know what you have to do, but you have to know about the config file. It’s not something that you intuitively know even if you’r computer savvy.

but thanks for the pointers.

Mike

I found this on their forum.

What Do I Put for Database Server Hostname / DSN:(localhost) any help???

“localhost” But please use search next time. This has been answered many times.

Terrible that no instructions came with their email that said ‘mysql has been installed’.

A five minute operation is becoming a five day one ??

When it says database name, do you think it wants for example ..

wp

or

freefromdebtnow-wp

thanks

for your help,

Mike

P.S. Your helping lots of people! Put a happy picture! You look like you have the world on your shoulders ??

Many thanks Samboll
