In reply to: New to this advice needed please!Erm – mate, just Google it!
In a nutshell though WordPress, as it operates with ‘themes’ gives novices a wide selection of different site appearances tailored to your needs – be it a photoblog, education or whatever. There are also lots of plugins, or apps I suppose you could think of them as, that will expand your sites functionality. These plugins allow your site to do pretty much anything you can think of on the web.
But like I said: Google getting started with wordpress or something and get a feel for it that way.
The great thing about WP is it’s as easy or as technical as you want it to be. Now please mark this topic resolved, as it’s really not a troubleshooting issue…

In reply to: help with search.phpWhat’s the actual problem? I can’t read Israeli so can’t see what’s happening when you search for something from within the site. What actually happens when you search from deeper in the site?

In reply to: Custome title for each categoryPlatinum SEO (which in my opinion is a little better) does this. It allows you to control the titles on all pages, posts, archives etc. etc.

In reply to: Works in all but ExplorerI don’t have access to Internet Explorer as I’m on a Mac, but one thing that’s worth looking at is what problems occur in IE 6, 7, and 8 to see the differences. Usually of course 8 is more stable and will require less work to fix.
Many sites use an if IE6 question which displays a different CSS file, but this is obviously a lot of work for a largely unsupported browser.
When we re-launched our site there were some issues with how it displayed in IE, and we just went for trial and error in fixing it. I seem to remember things I don’t use so much like display: overflow and things like that seemed to help.

In reply to: Where is my .htaccess file stored in wordpress?Are you using an FTP uploader? If not, get one, and connect to your site through that in the usual way (Google it if you’re not sure how)
Then you need to show hidden files. In Cyberduck, the FTP client I use, it’s simply under View > Show hidden files.
The .htaccess file will be in your public_html folder.

In reply to: Please help…….Actually I’m talking nonsense mate. Post this into your footer thing:
#footer { background: #bdd6ff; padding: 10px; color: #666; line-height: 20px; list-style: none; width: 915px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;
This will dead center it. Then with your bottom box:
#bottom { background: #bdd6ff; margin: 15px 0 0 0; padding: 10px; color: #666; line-height: 15px; width: 915px; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto;
Note the auto instead of a number. This means it’ll always be dead center no matter how big the window.

In reply to: Category specific ArchiveMake sure you’re posting it in BEFORE the PHP that closes the functions file. So that code would have after it the following
?>

In reply to: can't search in media libraryThat’s strange. When you navigate to the media library, are the images there at all, and just not showing up in search? Or are they not there at all?
If the latter, check in settings > Media, where your files are being uploaded, and navigate to this location through your FTP and see if they’re there?

In reply to: Please help…….Apoel – find the line of code in your CSS called #footer, and simply add this exactly after the {
width:630px;
and the same for the #bottom sectionForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Please help…….Also noticed you have another div at the bottom of the page called #bottom . Add a width to this as well
#bottom { background: #bdd6ff; margin: 15px 0 0 0; padding: 10px; color: #666; line-height: 15px; width: 630px; }
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Please help…….Firstly you need to add something like this to your CSS:
#footer { background: #bdd6ff; margin: 15px 0 0 0; padding: 10px; color: #666; line-height: 20px; list-style: none; width: 500px; }
So you need to specify the width of the whole footer.

In reply to: Homepage redirecting to a non-existant pageIf anyone else has this weird problem – I didn’t fix it, but our server administrator had a look for me and found that it was something to do with the main database. Not sure how, but the database was instructing all visits to the homepage to forward to /tabbed-sidebarring/
Perhaps a config file doing something weird. Completely inexplicable behaviour though…
