Thanks for the help everyone

I kinda like this theme – any idea which one it is?

sorry, I’m looking for a 2 column theme.

Are all themes based or derived from the classic or default theme?

Sorry for the typo in the topic heading – it should have read stable and not sable

Thanks for the suggestions – I’ll have a look at IImage gallery.

Can you recommend some sample websites that use this plugin so that I can see it in action ?

WordPress has a built-in dropdown_cats function

Unfortunately, the coders have not yet included a similar dropdown_pages function

(I requested the feature and thought it would be included in 1.5.1 – but it was not)

What program or plugin are you using to display your photos ? Different programs cause different problems.

thanks lorelle

I just read in another forum that Topstyle checks your css and tells you the problems that would occur under different browsers – so I’m gonna check it out and see.

Does anyone in here know if that is true?

The theme that I am working on is not my active theme.

Get the web developer plugin for firefox as well – a real handy tool when checking out the source and css code of various sites for ideas

That’s exactly the info that I was looking for.

Thanks podz

I was just trying to get rid of all orphaned files on my server and in the database from several other programs that I’ve been testing in the past – so I thought I would just dump everything and do a clean reinstall of just WP 1.5 – and somehow restore my old posts etc to the new installation.

So, I’m better off not doing a clean install then.

(although I would have preferred to dump the entire database because I have other old files besides coppermine in there)

Ok – thanks for your help

ok, I’ll try again.

2) Explained differently:

In a clean install, you need to create a database before installing WordPress and then add the database info (and new password) to the wp-config file.

In order to dump everything and do a clean install:

a) Do I create a “new database” and then restore my old WordPress data to the new database? – (and will the “old database” password, that I assume is somewhere in the backup file, conflict with the “new database” password?)

b) Or, do I just backup my WordPress data in the existing database as you indicated, and then just delete all the database info in the database – keeping the existing database in place – and then install WordPress and restore the WordPress data?

thanks
