perfect, thanks so much!

bunnygirl, I was just wondering the same thing. could you share your solution?

Thanks!

uh oh…changed it, ftp’d index.php, and now this is what I see:
Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CONSTANT_ENCAPSED_STRING in /var/www/domains/x.teebubble.com/docs/wordpress/index.php on line 80

any ideas? Line 80 is the search function, by the way, which I didn’t touch.

I agree, completely borked. macmanx, thanks, I tried it but no go. One of the oddest things about all this is that it began because I wanted to change my css. I took ‘extreme’ measures and deleted the entire images folder. And yet the site looks fine. Where in the world is it pulling pictures from??? It’s like the thing saved itself somewhere secret and has acquired a life of its own.

So sorry for the empty post! I am having a chronic problem — I cannot get changes made to index.php. I ftp it, change it, ftp it back, and nothing changes. I went into the ‘templates’ section of the wp-admin interface and as always, am told I cannot save changes to index.php because I haven’t set CHMOD to 666 (it has always been set to 666, but wp-admin doesn’t recognize this). In addition, the index.php file I view via wp-admin is very old, with no edits since the original installation.
So far my only option has been to flush & drop all databases, delete all WP files and start again. Does anyone know of an easier way? Or had a similar problem?
Site is https://x.teebubble.com/wordpress/
Thanks in advance.

thanks for the advice. it turned out I had a different issue, so this may help someone else:
if you do a mySQL data dump, you’ll end up with a file named ‘datadump.sql’ which is a text file. When you do a clean reinstall of WP, do NOT run the setup — once the tables are created in the database, the data file can’t read it. The data file will both create and fill the tables.
If you deleted your database entirely, just insert the data.
If you deleted your tables but not your database (like me), you will need to remove the line toward the top of the datadump.sql file that says
CREATE database my_name
because the file can’t create a database that’s already there.
I did this through phpmyadmin, hope it helps.

Thanks podz,
It is definitely an issue of wordpress looking somewhere else for an index.php file — I removed mine completely last night, did CTRL-F5, and it works perfectly. My wp files are in x.teebubble.com/wordpress.
If there’s anything else you need to see that I can send, please email me at toni066 at yahoo dot com.

I also vote with Allusion for TopStyle. It’s an excellent program and a great teacher too, if you’re not fluent in all the css elements, classes, etc. good luck!

Thanks 2fargon,
I removed everything & republished. I now have the 2001_05_01.php type files, plus wordpress.php in my https://ftp.teebubble.com folder (and no html’s). When I ran the import-blogger script, the files look like they were copied to my /wordpress directory. They are still not showing up. Any suggestions, anyone??
