In reply to: get_post_meta returning post id instead of the valueTry using “$post_id” instead of “the_ID()” if memory serves that includes the echo command to output it to the screen.

In reply to: don't show page titleAll the above information is correct – but I would advise against remove the code described… because it will be very bad for your SEO.
You always want the page title to be an H1 tag.
Good luck.

In reply to: Dashboard is not loading properlySomething is affecting the CSS of the dashboard. What if you deactivate all the plugins…it still is messed up?
Also – what theme are you running?

In reply to: center gallery on pageYou need to add “margin:0 auto” to the .ngg-slideshow class.
I’m not sure I would modify the next gen css – but maybe add it another css you have modified.

In reply to: Everything super slowI would see if the host can restart your apache process. This will usually buy you enough time to try some of the other suggestions.
The restart is a quick fix to allow you to find the real issue.
Good luck…keep us posted.

In reply to: entry posts are overlappingYou have a css issue.
add “clear:both” to div.hentry div.entry-content line – which looks like is hard coded on line: 28 of your site.
div.hentry div.entry-content {
text-align: left;
clear: both;
}The css block starts on line 22 and ends on 32 – the “div.hentry div.entry-content { text-align: left;}” is already there – just add the new line and you should be good.
The posts are “floating” over each other – probably because of the images.
Nice looking site.

In reply to: Database Connection Error in WP-AdminDid you change to the proper DB in the wp-config.php file? There are also a number of settings needed in the database.
The best luck I have had with this is install a fresh, clean install on your server. Get it running the basic wordpress.
Then – move from the old site everything but wp_usermeta, wp_users & wp_options (this is for a normal install – not WP Multisite).
Make sense?

In reply to: all import attempts return white screen (blank screen of death)This seems like the issue you are having:
Importing a Huge Number of Posts
If you don’t have administrative control of the server (root access), then Importing a Large Number of Posts has relevant links and help. This should be helpful if your import process dies before completing the import. The php installation on your webserver may have a low script timeout, or if the file is too large, your server may run out of memory. This is what’s happening when you see a blank, white page, during the import, or your browser says “Done” before WordPress says “Have Fun!” after the import.If you do have root access to the server, edit php.ini and increase the maximum memory setting. For a large import (e.g. 5MB), increase the script memory to 100MBs and restart apache. When the import is complete, restore the limit to what it was originally and restart apache again.
I found this near the middle of this codex page.
Hope it helps. ??

In reply to: Place text next to image (top).When you add the image you should be able to choose left, center, right for the floating characteristics…do you see that when you choose your file?

In reply to: WordPress: difference between site_id and blog_id?This all true – but if you look at how the database is built, it really appears they have built it to allow for many layers in the future.
Like – if you look into wp_posts you can have site and blog id’s…I think this is is useful for WP Multisite – but almost a little bit of future-proofing.

In reply to: How to alternate post styles in twentyelevenYou’ll need to use mod to accomplish this and assign a class to each post.
Here is a brief of mod:

In reply to: page/2/ — what is this?Give us a link.
Usually that is how WordPress deals with multiple pages of posts – like if you had it set to display 10 per page and you had 15 posts – it would go to /page/2/
