In reply to: Strange problemHoly guacamole Batman, that’s a lot of plugins!
Do you really need all those plugins? Remember, plugins can cause possible intrusion holes in your blog people could exploit – and they can also slow down your site’s load time.
It really does sound like a cache problem. I assume you deleted all the cache from your web browser and any other caching plugins you have…
If you’re not going to use the NewPress theme, what happens if you delete just that one off?

In reply to: my rss feed will not workNone of your posts show. Have you recently changed your permalink structure?
With some hosts, you have to wait a few minutes until it all starts working again when you make a change.
Your feeds are working fine, it’s that they can’t read anything. Try clicking on one of your articles.

In reply to: Deleted W_-Super-Cache, Site DiedCan’t you just download the plugin again, unzip and read the readme file?
To get to your wp-config.php file, go to your hosting control panel, file manager, and edit the config file as the readme file states.

In reply to: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected … on line 807@ Ramirez_fabian – looks like you might have been hacked. I entered that term in Google and it returned countless results with everyone mentioning they’ve been hacked.
Check you code around that line number for something like: base64_decode()
If that’s there, it’s almost a sure thing you’ve been hacked.
Our company provides security upgrades for WordPress bloggers, but I’ll be honest, nothing is 100% full proof.
@ garei – I know people who host on GoDaddy and have those plugins with no issues. It is possible your site was hacked. Also, do you have any backup copies of your database on the server (check areas like your wp-content/db-backup or something)? If someone can find that, they could get access to your blog. You might want to try some security enhancements to harden your WordPress install. Maybe it will detour the attacker.

In reply to: Word press move issuesSounds like a database problem.
Do you know how to log into your database using phpMyAdmin?
Once logged in, locate the “wp_options” table and just to the right of those words there’s a button there where if you hover your mouse pointer over it, it will say “Browse”.
Click the Browse button and there will be two fields to look for, the Home and Siteurl fields. Make sure they give the correct address.
You may need to click the > button to move to the next page to find the Home field.
Also, log into WordPress and head over to your Settings menu. I think it’s in the General area, make sure your blog’s install directory is correct.
Remember, if your blog is in the /blog directory, make sure that’s the address you enter.

In reply to: Seeking designer for my blogHi LadyJemima.
I know I don’t speak for everyone, however, to code a static html website into WordPress would take a lot of time. You’d be better off money-wise finding a template out there which has the “bones” you like (this here, that over there) and then hiring a coder to plug in your components.
To code a site from scratch will cost you hundreds of dollars, if not more.
But then again, like I said I don’t speak for everyone. Realize though, coders usually charge anywhere from $45/hr to $100/hr.

In reply to: Internet ExplorerXxDarkSinzxX, unfortunately without much to go on, it’s kind of like saying you take your car into a repair shop and when the guy asks you what’s wrong you say, “It’s making a knocking sound when I drive. What’s wrong?”
Impossible to tell unless the hood is popped.
If it were working before, then obviously anything you’ve done recently messed it up.
I you’re just setting this up, any number of things could cause this problem.
If this site is very important to you, it might be worth spending a few bucks and hiring one of the many people on here to debug your site for you.

In reply to: Internet ExplorerYou could try this, not sure if it will work – but it might. Lots of things could cause this issue.
Copy your current style.css file and give the new file the name ie7.css (leave your current style.css just as it is with no changes, just make a copy of it).
Place the new ie7.css file in your wp-content/themes/yourTheme directory.
Log into WordPress and place this code in your header.php file just under the link to your current stylesheet:
<!--[if IE 7]> <link rel="stylesheet" href="<?php bloginfo('template_url'); ?>/ie7.css" type="text/css" media="screen" /> <![endif]-->
If no change, just delete the code and the file. Worth a try.

In reply to: Comments form does not show up – Permalink Problem?Which host are you using?
When you set the custom permalink structure, do your urls all work ok with the new url structure?

In reply to: Did something really stupid… changed address in Admin SettingsIn the database, there’s also “home”. Make sure that has the correct web address. It’s in the same area as site url but you may need to click the > button to move to the next page.

In reply to: Access to WP and My BlogYou can try changing your password through your phpMyAdmin.
Then try logging in.
To get there, you’d go to your web hosting control panel and navigate to your MySQL database and log into the database your WordPress uses.
