I guess you could always add ‘\t’ to the “before” paramaters in various functions which would/might indent stuff for you by a single tab. It all depend on where “before” is added, though.

my design sucks . Some of those above are pretty nice, though. Goodjob!

Rob

Hey,

I like it too – nice doggy also :). Dogs to have a tendancy to try and bite my leg though so they are always better to see in photographs rather than in real life ??

Rob

Hey,

Nice layout! That green reminds me of my old site design ;-).

Rob

Hey,

If you look at your database using phpmyadmin, does it contain the tables to do with WordPress (usually prefixed wp_)? Do the tables contain any data?

Are you using Linux or Windows? Are you hosting it yourself or using commercial (or free) webhost?

One other thing – if you go to “Options”, does it show the correct WordPress Address and Blog Address (i.e. the ones you set when you installed it?).

Just a few questions to maybe give an idea of what might be going wrong ;-).

Rob

Hey,

It’s probably WordPress trying to “pingback” the links. It has to download them and work out whether it’s possible to ping them.

If you unselect ” Attempt to notify any Weblogs linked to from the article (slows down posting.)” from Options->Discussion then it shouldn’t try and ping, although that will stop you pinging *all* sites–it is not limited to yours.

Rob

Hey,

Good idea although I won’t be able to make this one. Maybe I will come along to a future meetup though! :).

Rob

Hey,

You need to add <img src="/forextrading/wp-content/images...."> (note the added forextrading). This is because your WordPress installation lives inside the forextrading subdirectory of your website and not at the root directory.

Rob

Hey,

I like the idea of being able to configure asc/descending through a parameter. Going to work on that now :). I’ll add some sample css, too.

Thanks!

Rob

Hey,

That is really stupid, yeah.

Really awful hack: Try commenting out (add a // to the start of each line) lines 16 and 17 of wp-settings.php (where it says if ( !(phpversion().. and the line beneath) and then continue as normal.

This will make the error go away, but I’m unsure as to whether your host is still to restrictive to allow WordPress to run normally.

Rob

Hey,

If you use a double carriage return between your lines then WordPress inserts a <p>, otherwise it puts in a <br/>.

So next time, press “Return” twice instead of once!

Rob

Hey,

When you say “.. to post comments was not available”, do you mean that there was no form to enter the comments in to?

You have to add the template tag `<? comments_template(); ?> for the form (and comments listings) to show up. This displays everything in “comments.php” inside your theme’s directory – if that file doesn’t exist then it takes the version off the default template.

Check that you don’t have a 0-length comments.php in your theme’s directory.

Rob

Hey,

Are you on a commercial webhost? If so, send them an email and ask them to upgrade to (at least) php 4.1 – the current latest version (of 4) is 4.3.11.

If you are hosting it yourself (off your own computer) then you need to upgrade it yourself. Shout back if you are in this situation.

Rob

Hey,

You need to change one line of your template/theme/whatnot:

It currently says:

<style type="text/css" media="screen">
@import url( https://www.zazlamarr.com/oldblog/wp-layout.css );
</style>

Whereas you want to have
<style type="text/css" media="screen">
@import url( https://www.zazlamarr.com/blog/wp-layout.css );
</style>

as the directory oldblog doesn’t exist.

Rob

Hey,

What error do you get? Or do you just get a blank page? Reading your first post, you need to create a new template (or more correctly, theme: which is simply a subdirectory inside wp-content/themes/ where the templates and CSS lives) inside the wp-content directory should you want to have your own design unless you edit one of the original templates.

Nonetheless, all template data has to be in a subdirectory of wp-content/themes, and then that theme has to be activated (using the control panel).

Sorry if you already knew that but I wasn’t sure.
