You could also use the maintenance mode plugin a long with macmanx suggestion.

You need to go to feedburner.com login click your feed, select the ‘publicize’ tab at the top, then ‘Email Subscriptions’ menu in the left sidebar > scroll down and select activate.

There are several ways to use WordPress as a gallery/showcase.

You could use the inbuilt uploader to upload your image inside your post, or you could use custom fields (my preferred method).

You then modify the loop on the index/categories to only display the content you want.

Example you create a custom field called ‘Thumbnail’ you then create a loop that only shows the image of the custom field and the title of post from a defined category id:

<!-- Start the Loop. -->
  <?php query_posts($query_string . '&cat=3'); ?>
  <?php if ( have_posts() ) : while ( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>

<a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>
<img src="<?php echo get_post_meta($post->ID, 'Thumbnail', true); ?> alt="<?php echo the_title(); ?>" />
</a>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="<?php the_title(); ?>"><h3><?php the_title(); ?></h3></a>

 <!-- Stop The Loop (but note the "else:" - see next line). -->
 <?php endwhile; else: ?>

 <!-- The very first "if" tested to see if there were any Posts to -->
 <!-- display.  This "else" part tells what do if there weren't any. -->
 <p>Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.</p>

 <!-- REALLY stop The Loop. -->
 <?php endif; ?>

You obviously also need to add your divs that tell it how to display into the loop above

Thanks! ??

very nice, I like it alot.

You need to create an account at https://gravatar.com/ then you can upload images on gravatar.com that will assoiciate with your email address.

this plugin may help you: https://coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/custom-post-limits/

try changing permalink structure to:

/%category%/%postname%.html
and below where it says Category base enter: /category

ah you got it working the other way ??

Your .htaccess was setup as if your installation was located yourdomain.com/blog/ instead of at yourdomain.com

Replace with:

# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress

it’s 404’ing because you renamed .htaccess and it can no longer find the permalink redirect rules. Which shows that the .htaccess was causing the error.

Can you post the contents of your .htaccess?

Or switch back to standard permalinks, delete the .htaccess. Check single posts are working. Then try re adding your custom permalinks and see what happens.

Enter phpmyadmin
>> Select your database
>> Click browse on the wp-options table
>> Edit the siteurl to your previous location.

500 Internal Server error can be caused by a mis-configured .htaccess file. Try renaming .htaccess to something else and see if the page loads then.

Your domain is still pointing to wordpress.com nameservers. You will need to change the name servers in your godaddy cpanel to those of your hosting companys.

If you have a free hosting account then you won’t be able to run WordPress as they don’t let you use mysql databases. If you have a paid account they have an automatic install for wordpress in the cPanel.
