Thanks; tried all that. I am still getting “access denied” errors … For example:

ERROR 1044 (42000): Access denied for user ''@'localhost' to database 'mysql'

Pretty much all I try I get access errors. Any way to reset the access privileges ?

And, out of curiousity, is the mysqld process supposed to run under the “root” or under the “mysql” user ?

If you scroll to the top of this page, click on download, follow the instructions, you will get a zip file with all the wordpress files. Uncomepress that on your desktop, you can find the .css file somewhere in /wp-content/themes/

My CSS file is nothing like the default CSS file that comes with wordpress; if you installed it, you would also need all the template files that go with it.

Have you modified your CSS file at all, in anyway ? If so, consider downloading and unpacking the wordpress installation, navigating to the default theme directory, and overwriting your current .css file with the one straight from the package. I would make a backup (or move) the file you have now in case you want to implement any of the changes you have.

Yea, I have that bookmarked. I used that resource intially a few months ago when I got it all up and running.

Now though, everything is installed, I just need to figure out how to reset the root password to see if still have my databases intact … I just don’t know enough about unix to accomplish it at present. It is possible that there is another problem, but I believe it to be the password (that makes most sense to me).

I don’t really understand what you are trying to accomplish so I cannot offer any advise, other than: I was able to make all changes to my site without any knolwedge of PHP (besides the functions I learned from the wiki). I only modified the template files in the theme.

I had a similiar problem with a modified theme; suddenly the sidebar moved far to the bottom and wouldn’t come up no matter how much I coaxed it.

Turned out to be an error in the CSS … have you changed any of that?

I couldn’t figure out what was wrong by looking at it, so I created a new div class in the .css file and rebuilt my CSS rules and the problem didn’t return.

Well, I am not a “web designer” but I believe you do have control over all of that by modifying the templates in your current theme.

What worked for me was reading the wiki and then humbly throwing myself prostate in front of those who came before me in this forum.

But I do not think wordpress is stupid either — I believe it to be rather clever — so what worked for me might not work for you.

I believe you can just put it at the beginning (or anywhere). Just needs to be seperated by an &:

<?php wp_list_pages('sort_column=menu_order&exclude=5,6,7,8,12&title_li=<h2>' . __('Pages') . '</h2>' ); ?>

Thanks, by the way – this was a great little plugin. Am using it … can see result at: https://feed-all.damonjustisntfunny.com

That is helpful — but it is unfortunate! I like having the %category% info in my link. I am just using the /feed/ for now.

Hi,

I just upgraded and I have the same problem. However, I think it might be my fault: I left my one and only plugin activated when I did the upgrade … the “betterfeed” plugin. I don’t know if that is what caused the problem, but I seem to have the exact same symptoms. The /feed/ permalinks work fine, but not the wp-rss2.php calls.

Any idea how to fix that anyone? I have my iTunes podcast pointing to the wp-rss2.php feed … yikes!

Thanks,

Damon

I see the file; I will give that a try as soon as I install it on my local machine and make sure that my theme is compatible.

Thanks!

Damon

Yea, I think I might get rid of the parent and see how things work that way.

Thanks!

Thanks – that’s the kind of advice I needed.

I would rather the second option, I believe, as that it is prettier and prettier is, usually, better.

I have been using the in_category(x) conditional to do some other things, but I wasn’t sure the best way to implement it into the loop. So far I have been using it only for text at the very top; I am not sure what kind of things I should change in the loop (or have different loops per condition).

Thanks,
