Sorry, the test page I set up is here:
https://blog.zoblue.com/a-weather.php
Both the weather plugins I’m trying are activated.

Ok, I have tried all of the above to get the WeatherIcon plugin to work.
The icon folder is set to 755 permissions on the folder AND the images themselves. The code in weather.php is:
$icon_location = 'https://blog.zoblue.com/wp-images/wicons/';
and the cache folder I created since it wasn’t there and set permissions to 755 and the code is (with line breaks for clarity):
$cache_path = '/home/zobluec/public_html/blog/wp-content/
plugins/weather_cache';
The permissions on weather.php itself is 644.
The icon extension is correct ‘.png’ and the icon status is set to ‘yes’
I bet it’s the smallest, dumbest thing…. if anyone has any other tips for me, please share! Otherwise, I’ll be banging my head against the wall while I keep troubleshooting. :'(

Wait, what cache folder? Does the plugin create a cache folder? Like the CG FeedRead plugin does? I don’t see any cache folder related to weather anywhere on my site. Could that be my problem?
The full path in the php file is: 'https://blog.zoblue.com/wp-images/wicons/';
If you try: https://blog.zoblue.com/wp-images/wicons/0cloud.png the image does show up so that works. Arrgghghhg!!

I’m using this plugin, but the images don’t show up. On my home page on the right hand side halfway down (you can see the alt tag “weather icon”): https://zoblue.com/wordpress
My code in the index template is: <?php get_weather('60629','Chicago,IL', 'icon,temp,high,low,forecast') ?>
The line I edited in getweather.php is: $iconDirURL = "https://zoblue.com/wordpress/wp-images/weather-icons";
which is where the folder with the weather icons is. The source code for the icon line shows up as: <img src="https://zoblue.com/wordpress/wp-images/weather-icons/.png" alt="weather icon" />
I think I did everything ok. Any ideas?
thanks in advance,

Ah, ok. That worked splendidly, thanks! One thing to note for future users is that the permalink structure worked better with the year, then the month, then the day:
/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%
any other combo wouldn’t work for me.
thanks again!

I hope this isn’t a tough question to answer? Should I turn permalinks off? What did I do?

I got it working now, I just re-uploaded the main ‘wp-plugins’ folder to overwrite whatever I changed. Thanks everyone!

You know I tried: <?php wp_get_archives('format=options'); ?> and it didn’t work. Does it have to be surrounded with any other kind of code? When I would use format=option, the archives would show up as text all in one line. Oh well…

Looks good. Loaded up in a few seconds but I’m on DSL too. You got pop-ups? (they were blocked by my Firefox)

It was easy, friend of mine helped me:
UPDATE wp_posts
SET post_author = ‘1’
WHERE post_author LIKE ‘2’;
he said my host is running older version of mySQL ??

I was afraid of that… grrrrr…
thanks,
Z

btw: I can’t seem to post a new topic at TEMPLATE AND DESIGN Forum either….

I just checked and I do have phpMyAdmin. Thank you!!
Now to go and play!
