Have you ever used the plugin’s backups to restore your site??

Sorry,here is the link to the front page.

Actually, not ALL of the page text is missing on the front page. Notice the very first part of the first paragraph is still there. So something weird happened to that content.

I guess I could try to delete all of the WP content on the site, then re-upload it from the backup again and see if that works. The question is whether it’s a db problem or a content problem. Is there a way I could look at my backup files to see if the text is actually in the backup files?

Never mind my last question. I noticed that the blog post is also working as a pretty link.

Thanks again!

Have another question though. What about a blog post. I only have a single post that I put up called “Test.”That should also be a pretty link. How do I fix that?

Thank you! ?? Problem Solved!

I’m totally new to WP. I knew it was something I was or wasn’t doing.

Sam, yes they are. What should I do now?

Again, Thank you SS ?? Yay! no more ugly hyphens!

@ss,
Thanks, I wasn’t sure which CSS file to work on. In the (style.css) file I deleted that entire block of P coding in the example you show, along with the word wrap feature and the problem was fixed. Thank you very much. Now I understand how to get to the core code and quickly make changes.

Edit- This is actually what I ended up doing.
First I did as I stated above. Then I thought about it and restored the file to it’s original state. I then simply added the “none” attribute to the code like you advised. It worked great. I left the word wrap code alone.

@ Robin,

There are a ton of CSS files in WP!

Do you know the name of the particular CSS file that controls the paragraph formatting for posts?

@ss,
Thank you very much for that code solution. I knew there must be a way to turn them off.

@ Robin,
The hyphens are showing up in posts only. I’ve seen it on other peoples blogs too. Because the hyphen breaks any word where it wants, it makes for some difficult and awkward reading.

Resolved the upload problem by tweaking permissions on the wp-content folder until the uploads worked.

Thanks everyone for your input.

I solved the problem by tweaking the permissions on the wp-content folder. It seems that the default permissions WP had on that folder were not allowing directories to be written on my server.

Apparently there is some way to correct the permissions so that I can upload images and wp will be able to process them. Unfortunately since I’m using a shared server, correcting the permissions is not as straight forward, it’s very confusing when reading the codex about changing permissions. Anyone know the trick to getting a shared server to work with WP?????

@tara,
My ISP said they do not allow writing to a shared server. They said there is a workaround because there are several WP users using the shared server and WP is working for them. However, they (my ISP) said they are not authorized to help me with a WP issue.

Here is a link to the error message:

Lorenzo, I checked the permissions of the wp-content folder and I appear to have permission to write to that folder, so I assume that there is something else causing the problem. Anyone else? WP still cannot create a directory in the db.

Permissions are 755 rwxr-xr-x
