In reply to: Images On Page “Squished”Jeff
First off, when editing the post, you should remove
alignleft
from the lists of classes on the image. (If you are using the Visual Editor, you can edit the image, and change the alignment to “None”).Then, in your
style.css
file in the theme, find the following:.alignleft{ float:left; width:150px; } .alignright{ float:right; width:200px; }
and change it to:
.alignleft{ float:left; } .alignright{ float:right; }
This will remove the fixed width of the class, so that in the future if you actually need to align images to the left or right, they will not be constricted by the CSS.

In reply to: What is best way to change directories (on GoDaddy)?Does the blog load on the main domain once you’ve followed all the instructions except for the .htaccess?
You shouldn’t need direct access to that file. The steps tell you do do that so it will reset your permalink structure to the new directory. You should just be able to save your permalinks which will edit the .htaccess for you.

In reply to: Images On Page “Squished”On the page with the squished images, you have the images set to align left, which adds a class of
alignleft
to the image.Then in the CSS, you have this
.alignleft { float:left; width:150px; }
So any image with
.alignleft
is going to be resized to a width of 150px, causing it to “squish.”Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: problems with the admin area formattingDo you have any plugins installed? If so, deactivate them all. If the problem goes away, and then reactive them one by one to determine which plugin is causing the problem. If you still have the problem, revert to the default theme and see if there is still a problem.

In reply to: custom post types wp 3.0There is no admin interface in order to do this (without a plugin). Check out the documentation on post types, or you can try a plugin like this.

In reply to: 2010–editing text for comment boxThe Twenty Ten uses a new Template Tag called comment_form.
If you check it out, you can pass a few arguments to it in order to show some text above/below the form.
So in
comments.php
, finecomment_form()
and try changing it to this:comment_form( array( 'comment_notes_before' => 'Please note, your comment will be moderated first.' ) );
Note that this will override the default text. You could also use
comment_notes_after
as well, to add it below the form.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How To Customize Category Nav Bar?Are you using the Woo Menu Management or the WordPress 3.0 Menu Management?
Either way, you need to check the navigation menu structure on those pages. I’m not sure about the Woo Menu, but it could be that the menu isn’t automatically updated as you delete categories, pages, etc. So even if you delete it from the site, it might still remain in the menu.

In reply to: Theme not installingWhere are you uploading the theme folder to?
Also, make sure you are not accidentally uploading a folder that contains another one. For example
- /theme_name 1.0/ --- /theme-name/ ------ files.php
If you just upload /theme_name 1.0/ folder to the /themes/ directory, it won’t work. You need to upload the /theme-name/ folder only.

In reply to: K2 Sidebar is a total nightmare – I’m giving upOn
#primary-wrapper
changemargin-right:-220px;
tomargin-right:320px
. Before, I’m guessing the sidebar was 200px wide. Since you changed it to 300px, it wasn’t left enough room by the wrapper in order to fit, pushing it off the page. So by adding that extra bit of margin to the main column, you leave enough room for the sidebar.EDIT: It works without (in Firefox) but you should also change
body.columns-two #primary { margin-right:220px; }
to
body.columns-two #primary { margin-right:320px; }
to stay consistent.
Don’t give up on WordPress! ??
