Are you using WordPress 1.5? Then perhaps this will help you ??

Are you sure that your server is an Apache? Then perhaps your host has disabled the SERVER_SOFTWARE variable for security reason which WP1.5 uses to determine what server you’re using.

If you’re sure that you have Apache then open the wp-includes/vars.php and search for this line:

$is_apache = strstr($_SERVER['SERVER_SOFTWARE'], 'Apache') ? 1 : 0;


Replace 0 with 1 or replace it with following line to tell WP1.5 that you’re really running Apache:

$is_apache = 1;

You mean something like this?

Very clean and nice ??

Then it really sounds like a server issue. Do you have the problem now with any .php file or just with some? Sounds like the server is somehow sending the wrong content type. In this case only the server administrator can help you ??

Do you get any error message?

Do you have this is a page (in wp1.5) or as a simple php file? It would also be helpful if you’d post the source code of this page ??

Also the second. But perhaps you should consider changing the link text color in the inactive tabs in the left menu ?? Gray on blue isn’t really well readable ??

Are you using floats? Then you perhaps should add an element below the left and right float that clears both…. Okay, I better show it on an example as my English in the morning is really only barely usable ….
<div id=”wrap”>
<div id=”leftfloat” style=”float:left”>…</div>
<div id=”rightfloat” style=”float:right”>…</div>
<div id=”footer” style=”clear:both”>…</div>
</div>

The footer with its clear attribute basically tells the wrap element, how long it should be ??

Glad I could at least try to help ??

Ah, sorry, I didn’t check the actual background image. In this case repeat-x is probably what you need ??

Thank you ?? This looks really great. Normally I don’t really like red/brown tones but this looks really nice ??

You could try the <!–nextpage–> tag ??

Have you already tried it with no-repeat instead of repeat? ??

Podz has a really nice list of addons and tweaks and documents about how to fight comment spam on https://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/spam/ ??

Just a side question: On https://www.ads-software.com/nightly/ you get development snapshots (for WP 1.5). Are your students working with WordPress 1.2.x or also with 1.5?

I don’t know how your hosting plan works, but if you can, I’d recommend that you put your “testing” weblog at least in a different directory. You should perhaps also first make a backup of your current weblog’s directory and of your database. Normally your host should have some tutorials about how to do the database part of this ??
