  • After update, it is broken for me too. I’ve got to find a more workable solution.

    Hi,
    I’m also trying to replace my blog info in the header with an image that I made with GIMP. I can’t seem to get this for some reason. Any help out there?

    My header is as follows:

    <!DOCTYPE html PUBLIC “-//W3C//DTD XHTML 1.0 Transitional//EN” “https://www.w3.org/TR/xhtml1/DTD/xhtml1-transitional.dtd”&gt;
    <html xmlns=”https://www.w3.org/1999/xhtml&#8221; <?php language_attributes(); ?>>

    <head profile=”https://gmpg.org/xfn/11″&gt;
    <meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”<?php bloginfo(‘html_type’); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo(‘charset’); ?>” />

    <title><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> <?php if ( is_single() ) { ?> » Blog Archive <?php } ?> <?php wp_title(); ?></title>

    <meta name=”generator” content=”WordPress <?php bloginfo(‘version’); ?>” /> <!– leave this for stats –>

    <link rel=”stylesheet” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_url’); ?>” type=”text/css” media=”screen” />
    <link rel=”alternate” type=”application/rss+xml” title=”<?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?> RSS Feed” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘rss2_url’); ?>” />
    <link rel=”pingback” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘pingback_url’); ?>” />

    <!–<style type=”text/css” media=”screen”>

    <?php
    // Checks to see whether it needs a sidebar or not
    if ( !$withcomments && !is_single() ) {
    ?>
    #page { background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/kubrickbg-<?php bloginfo(‘text_direction’); ?>.jpg”) repeat-y top; border: none; }
    <?php } else { // No sidebar ?>
    #page { background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); ?>/images/kubrickbgwide.jpg”) repeat-y top; border: none; }
    <?php } ?>

    </style>
    –>

    <?php wp_head(); ?>
    </head>
    <body>
    <div id=”page”>

    <?php
    global $wp_query;
    $thePostID = $wp_query->post->ID;
    $thePost_parent = $wp_query->post->post_parent;

    $mainPages = $wpdb->get_results(“SELECT ID, guid, post_title, post_type, post_parent FROM ” . $wpdb->posts . ” WHERE post_parent=’0′ AND post_type=’page’ AND post_status=’publish’ ORDER BY menu_order”);
    if ($mainPages) {
    ?> <ul id=”nav”>
    <li class=”page_item <?php if (is_home()) { ?> current_page_item <?php } ?>”>” title=”Home Page”><span class=”tabs”><?php _e(‘Home’); ?></span>
    <?php
    foreach ($mainPages as $onePage) {
    $url = get_permalink($onePage->ID);
    $arc_title = $onePage->post_title;

    if ($arc_title) $text = strip_tags($arc_title);
    else $text = $arcresult2->ID;

    $title_text = wp_specialchars($text, 1);
    ?>

    <li class=”page_item<?php if (is_page($onePage->ID)) {?> current_page_item<?php } ?><?php if(get_the_title($thePost_parent) == $onePage->post_title) { ?> current_page_parent<?php } ?>”>” title=”<?php echo $title_text; ?>”><span class=”tabs”><?php echo wptexturize($text); ?></span>
    <?php
    }
    ?> <?php
    }
    ?>

    <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/ads.php’); ?>

    <div id=”header”>
    <h1>/”><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></h1>
    <div class=”todaysDate”><?php echo date (“l, F d, Y “);?></div>
    <!–<div id=”headerimg”>
    <h1>/”><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></h1>
    <div class=”description”><?php bloginfo(‘description’); ?></div>
    </div>–>
    </div>

    <div class=”breadcrumb”>
    <?php
    if (class_exists(‘breadcrumb_navigation_xt’))
    {
    // Display a prefix
    echo ‘Location: ‘;
    // New breadcrumb object
    $mybreadcrumb = new breadcrumb_navigation_xt;
    // Display the breadcrumb
    $mybreadcrumb->display();
    }
    ?>
    </div>
    <div id=”searchBar”>
    <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . ‘/searchform.php’); ?>
    </div>

    I can reproduce this. Very annoying!

    Estilan,

    Just put in whatever you want to follow your domain name. For instance, if you put the word “blog” in the blank (without quotations) you will get the following URL for wordpress after the Fantastico install:

    https://yourdomain/blog

    If you already have a location for the install of WP, just upload them with ftp and don’t use Fantastico. Or, if you really want to use the name of the folder, erase your folder, and then let Fantastico re-create it for you by using the above description. The instructions are trying to keep you from creating two locations with the same name.

    So, if my images live at

    https://www.thomasjefferson.org/blog/images

    How would I put that in the following line, which is in the stylesheet? Sorry, I know this must be annoying:

    background-image: url(images/lquote.gif);

    Is there a stable build with the ability to switch templates in “presentation”?

    (@strange_cathect)

    Ok,

    Now they are installed and selectable under presentation, but after selection, the blog is just a blank. Arg.

    Hi NM,

    I was using that very description to install, followed everything to a T; just keep getting the errors…
