OK. Thanks.

Will do. The hosting folks think this is possibly a “bad idea” but everybody says this is the way to go so I’m doin’ it. I agree it limits potential trouble to the upload folder ony.

Thanks.

But doesn’t this open a security hole on your server? You are enabling changes to your site by an anonymous user.

Thank you very much! Just what I needed.

Imprecise terminology — I should have said I can’t change the “upper” color and “lower” color, since that’s what the Appearance Header Image and Color control calls them.

stvwlf,

Ah, I see — funny I didn’t think to look in the template folder! Okay, fair enough. In fact, I am very MUCH used to using templates, and I think it’s an extremely useful paradigm. But since I have your attention (and perhaps to send me to a more focused search into the codex) just tell me this — if I want to create a complex page with a lot of table formatting and <select>s, would one normally simply create these as PHP code in the “page”? I see support for lists, but not tables or selects or divs, etc. etc.

If this is getting too specific, just say so. Otherwise, continued thanks for your help.

Hi,

OK if I jump in on this thread. I’m a rank newbie to wp, but I was browsing the forums and you (stvwlf) just happened to mention something I’m scratching my head over. It was when you said:

“The code should go in page.php not index.php”

Could ya help me a second here? When I create a new “page” (Pages|Add New), it looks to me like no new files are created (so I assumed it’s all happening in the database somewhere.) Is that right? IOW, I don’t HAVE any files called “page.php,” just index.php. I was hoping that new pages WOULD be embodied in a file like a “page.php” so that I could edit them “by hand” after they’re created. How, exactly, do I make a “page.php” appear — or am I totally confused? (obviously!)

thx in advance,

roricka
