  • Dregs, you must have fixed your problem because your posts are showing up in the right order when I view your site.

    Umm, the other people are correct – nearly all search engines will penalize you for duplicate content. And the major ones will dump you. That does not mean that if someone types in your exact domain name that it won’t show up – it means that it won’t show up in “searches” which is really what a person wants unless they are “Amazon” or “Sears” where everyone knows what the URL is and doesn’t need to search to find it.

    Most people who own multiple top level domains with the same URL prefix use the additional .net, .biz, .info, etc as Pointers and/or masks to the main domain.

    if you want to content dump onto a second domain you can use “<iframe>” but you won’t get “long tail” urls with it.

    Personally, I would contact publicdomainregistry.com which is the company that registered the URL and tell them that the owner of the URL is in violation of their TOS agreement. That they are not keeping their contact information up-to-date and current, and that they are using “stolen” content without attribution. Tell them that you want them to contact their customer and to tell them to pull the content down, or revoke the ownership of the domian name.

    If they are a reputable firm, they will pursue this for you. Godaddy.com has been very good about this for me. ??

    Perhaps you will have the same luck with publicdomainregistry.com.

    Good Luck

    It does just insert the word [Gallery] into the code page. When you publish it, if it is working correctly, it will actually post the gallery.

    Well then Otto, you must have some sort of ‘LUCK” because I put a brand new install, on a brand new site on GoDaddy Linux hosting and the image uploading doesn’t work.

    I have set up and maintain 79 blogs (20 of my own and the others for clients) using WP 2.3.3 and they all work just fine.

    I use Linux hosting at Bluehost.com, siteground.com, Lypha.com, and Godaddy.com and every “new and clean” test installation of wp 2.5 has image problems.

    The most common of which is this error message: File is empty. Please upload something more substantial. This error could also be caused by uploads being disabled in your php.ini.

    And the second of which is: Specified file failed upload test.

    Actually, It would work just fine for what I need. I have clients waiting to have WP installed on websites and configured for them but so far “images” are still an issue in new installations of wp 2.5 with hosting on Lypha.com, bluehost.com, siteground.com, and even godaddy.com. I host domains at all of these places and placed a clean test install on all of them, and there are images uploading issues on all of them.

    The most common one being this error message:

    File is empty. Please upload something more substantial. This error could also be caused by uploads being disabled in your php.ini.

    Airplane Freak,

    Really, you do NOT want to upgrade to WP v. 2.5. If you still have 2.3.3 – stay with it. Version 2.5 has way to many issues and it doesn’t work right on GoDaddy’s hosting either.

    Ignore the upgrade messages you get when you sign in now, and stay with the tool that works.

    You can correct it by editing your header image…

    I pulled the kubrick image and the actual graphic file size of it is 760 wide – so if you put a 10 pixel white band on the left side of your graphic file it will move it over..

    or try making the left margin 17px ??

    Forum: Fixing WordPress
    In reply to: thoughts?

    Well, I am sure you started at the standard place to look:

    https://themes.wordpress.net/

    There are a lot of nice themes there, you can use them as they are or modify them to your liking if you don’t have the knowledge to make your own themes from scratch – which most people don’t.

    And generally you can simply do a search on yahoo or google of “wordpress themes”

    Good Luck!
    And Good Luck with the Move!

    If you don’t want them to view the pages either, change their status to “unpublished” also.
    That way you can work on them – but no one can see them until you “publish” them.

    I mean don’t publish the entries. You can make the entries, and save them as “unpublished” so you can see them, but no one else can. When you want others to see the posts – then change their settings to published.

    Don’t publish it.

    I highly recommend buying a copy of WordPress for Dummies! The author does a brilliant job of walking you through all kinds of wordpress customization in language that is not geek speak – and shows you how to build websites using it in many configurations.

    I have one question for you? Did you by any chance “backup” your wp-config.php file? If you did, upload it and see if things work. If you wrote over that file or somehow deleted it – wp can no longer access your database.
