Hi — I recently picked up a copy of a program called Google Adsense Widget for WordPress — am I’m trying to install it but not having any luck.

I’ve contacted the software creator but no reply from them.

The widget partially loads onto my blog page but won’t complete the install etc. The instructions indicated a need to enter my Google Publisher number but I cannot see/find any place in the control panels to do so … any ideas?

Thanks —
Frank

Thanks esmi — I checked the source article you referred me to (above) and this solution does not appear to be my problem. Any other suggections?
Thanks,
Frank

Suggestion to WordPress staff: — that you add a short blip in somewhere in the WP installation instructions about the Network Solutions (NSI) hosting requirement to input the host site IP address in place of ‘Localhost’ when connecting to the database etc.

Thanks again to you and all the forum members who helped solve this issue for us!
Best,
Frank

For whooami, huffy2009, iwally and all others:

Got it — it’s working. The source whooami gave above was the one — all it took was inputting the site IP address as the Localhost — and it worked!

Thanks to all —

For huffy2009:
Altho it seems your WP is installed on a Windows server the symptoms you have are exactly the same as I am having trying to install WP on a UNIX/Linux server. My hosting company’s database console (phpMyAdmin) shows it has received the correct database name, user name, and password from WordPress — and it uses Localhost.

Yes, am curious about the ABSPATH as well — but did not see anything in the WP install instructions about adding input data for path, etc.

Sounds like we both are having the same problem — thanks for replying — will let you if I hear anything —
Best,
Frank

For iWally:
Thanks for the reply. Am assuming the php.ini file is located on the server not in the WordPress files, right? I do not have direct access to the server files with this domain as it is hosted on a shared server with Network Solutions. I’ve already got a couple of support tickets open on this with NSI but they’ve not neen that helpful so far. Will keep you suggestion in mind going forward — thank you!

No, I haven’t changed anything with the .htaccess file — should I? What do you suggest?

Thanks for the quick reply. Yes, have double-checked the login info it is correct — it shows up correct in the phpMySQL console etc. I have contacted Network Solutions and they tell me I’m on my own regarding connecting WordPress to their MySQL DB. I have read/reread and checked/rechecked the detailed WordPress install instructions — same result. Am missing a simple step no doubt. Any other ideas?
