Sorry, I just realised that the above link isn’t working. I’m not quite sure why, but the archive page can be accessed via the menu from my home page at https://www.coppercoastworkshops.com/minimalistics/

Thank you…

I’ll give it a go later on tonight – seoirse

Thank you samboll

Regarding my later question, you wrote that it would automatically work for me and it did. Everything seems to be fine.

Many thanks for your help….Seoirse

Thank you for your fast reply.

I’ll try it little later, but meanwhile am I correct in assuming that I change the permalinks to /%category%/%postname%/

before

I activate the plugin?

Thanks seoirse

Sorry Blog details are

Hi stvwlf

You were absolutely spot-on with your diagnosis. Everything worked fine and all I had to do was change the code to each of the pictures, there’s only a few at this point so it only took five minutes.

I realise that we novice bloggers must be hard work on occasion, but I’d like to say thank you for the help that you and other folks on the WordPress Forum have given me, it really is appreciated. I’d like to add that if you’re ever in Co Waterford, look me up, details on the website, I’d like to buy you a pint of the Black Stuff.

Thank you so much….Seoirse

Many thanks for getting back to me. I seem to have ran into a problem. These are the steps that I took…

1. I created the new minimalistics directory at the same level as the existing one.

2. I logged onto my blog and changed the wordpress address (URL) and the Blog Address (URL) from “wordpress” to “minimalistics”.

3 I then clicked save changes and all I got was a blank screen with the message “No input file specified.”

4.I was able to return to the Dashboard, but when I click on administration>settings>general/ I got the same message as above.

5.At that point the files were still under the wordpress directory.

6. I then tried pasting them into the minimalistics directory but then I got a “404” message when I try to enter either administration>settings>general or administration>settings>permalinks.

7 So I then moved the files back to the original (wordpress) directory (where they still are) but any attempt to enter either administration>settings>general or administration>settings>permalinks still results in the message “No input file specified.”

I followed the instructions to the letter, but now I’m unable to go forward or back. It’s all a bit confusing, have you any idea what I’ve done wrong?

Many thanks Seoirse

Hi, I hope someone can advise, I think my age and a lack of computer experience and terminology is causing confusion.

I have read through Moving WordPress Within Your Site, several times, and a little guidance here would be sooo helpful

In point one, it says”…create the new directory”, do I just create a new file (directory) called Minimalistics via FTP in the same location that I have the current WordPress directory installed?

And then in point 9 it says “…Move your WordPress core files to the new location.” do I then just transfer all of the content from the existing WordPress Directory to the new directory?

And finally which part of the additional page that stvwlf mentions is applicable?

Any help for this simplistic old dinasaur would be greatly appreciated. Many thanks…Seoirse

Mstvwlf…It seems pretty complicated, but I’ll follow your suggestions carefully and see how it goes. Many thanks. seoirse

Hey apljdi

I can’t figure out the stylesheet thing either, but it has to be said that putting together the blog has been a steep learning curve for me.

Hence my error with the second bit, but I think that you got it…at least my archive page has appeared and the thumbnail is visible.

This has gotta be one of the best forums I’ve used, thank you so much for your help…

Seoirse (Irish for George by the way!)

I’ve uploaded one picture at full size and as a thumbnail to experiment with. I can find the main shot, but clicking on the archive link I get a “404 Not Found error”

So, I tried step 2, but still get the same error and so I’ve re-installed both files again. Thanks to your help at least I know that’s not the problem. I’ll take a look at the Spotless forum again and see if I can find alternative answers.

Thanks for your help esmi.

Thanks andiszek – you’re a star!

Much appreciated Seoirse

Thanks andiszek for your quick reply.

Can I assume that if I install the theme and I can’t get it to work that I can delete it without any unwanted side effects?

Thanks Seoirse

SUCCESS!

I re-installed the wordpress files to my website, as per your suggestions – received the install window and Eureka! I was in my dashboard.

It’s probably not the end of my problems, but one step at a time.

Thank you apljdi and batrachoid, your help is really appreciate.
