Forgot to add this.

Here’s a cross link to a post where I talked about the specific changes I made:
https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/140269?replies=5

Yes – I had to remove a width 99% from an item in a the SyntaxHighlighter css class file that came with the pluggin.

So you wanting instructions on how a Non-Admin can change the password of an Admin user in order to get into a site to grab control from him ?

I expect that you will loose the content of your posts since you did not make any backups. BUT – I expect you can save all the theme/pluggin/web design files by FTP’ing the wordpress folder to your local PC and then uploading it to a different folder on your site.

Just start using the new folder – Make a page to re-direct people there instead of the old location.

If you have a few posts you want to save and they have not been trashed yet then your probably stuck with displaying them in a web browser and doing a copy/paste into your new wordpress installation.

After you have everything simply delete the original folder from your web server

“Turn off the GUI editor entirely..”

Thanks – thought I did. Now at least I can post code inside PRE tags with out scrambling it.

“..that’s not really a bug. It’s the plugin’s stylesheet and your stylesheet combined.”

The style sheet used by the SyntaxHighlighter does not calculate widths properly when there is a float:right element in the same container.

How is that not a bug?

– Whatever – I just fixed it for you. Here is what you need to do. Remove the “width:99%” from the dp-highlighter class definition inside the SyntaxHighlighter.css file.

This works for IE7 and Firefox. For IE6 it works to the extent that the float:right element stays on top and is not hidden by the dp-highlighter class item

What’s going on with the GUI editor? Why does modify the code inside the PRE tag?

My experience is that it is almost impossible to use PRE tags in WordPress.

In the Post editor there is a “CODE” tab you can click on to to enable a “CODE” editor which lets you insert HTML tags. It’s here that you can insert the PRE tag.

BUT

The second you save the code it returns you to the GUI editor which then collapses all your spaces. This makes indentation in your code impossible to achieve. Every single line inside a loop, an if statment, etc.. all start in column one.

In my opinion WordPress has become impossible to use for people who want to write and share code snippets.

I am using Firefox.

The page does not appear to be blank. It looks the same in my Firefox browser as it does in my IE7 browser.

OK – No help from anyone.

I’ve downloaded and started to use the SyntaxHighlighter pluggin instead of just using <PRE> </PRE> tags and I now can display my code properly.

The problem was *not* fixed, but since the post has now been changed to such an extent that the original problem can not be checked out I’m closing this topic.

The above is what I posted – BUT on my site the input boxes are “live” even though the <PRE> </PRE> tags suround them

TEST

<form>
 Form Text Field 1 :
<input value="click here" type="text" />
 Form Text Field 2 :
<input value="tab to here" type="text" />
</form>

OK – that resolved it.

It would be nice if the templates indicated what WordPress version was required to use it.

“Please consider upgrading to 2.3.”

Would love to. How ?

I am using ipowerweb as my web host and simply installed the default blog software they had available through cpanel

Is there a way I can upgrade this from 2.0.2 to 2.3 by myself? Can I do this without the intervention of the web host provider?

OK – did that again (for the 3rd time). Deleted /public_html/WordPress/wp-content/themes/colorful-10/ folder. Downloaded them. Unzipped it then ftp’ed the folder back.

Nothing changes. Still crashes on an undefined function.

I expect that there is some sort of global PHP library which defines the function: the_search_query.

It is definitely not in any of the files provided with the theme.

What file is this defined in?

Why would I not have it?
