I made the image, and it repeats vertically (awesome), but it changed the relative position of the content box itself, which changed the look of some of my text and grey box borders. Any ideas?

Original:
body {
font-family: Helvetica, sans-serif;
background-color: #006699;
color: #333333;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-align: center;
}

Experimented BG code:

body {
background-image:url(‘https://www.appliedhappiness.org/home/wp-content/themes/artsemerging/artsemerging/images/ah-bg-image.jpg’);
background-repeat:no-repeat;
background-attachment:fixed;
background-position:center;
}

Any ideas?

I had to add:

img.alignright {float:right; margin:0 0 1em 1em}
img.alignleft {float:left; margin:0 1em 1em 0}
img.aligncenter {display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto}
a img.alignright {float:right; margin:0 0 1em 1em}
a img.alignleft {float:left; margin:0 1em 1em 0}
a img.aligncenter {display: block; margin-left: auto; margin-right: auto}

To my theme’s stylesheet.

Again, in the wp-admin ‘Visual’ editor, it wraps and looks great, but the only line that wraps it the first few words down at the bottom corner of the picture. Oh, how frustrating.

This is going to bug the hell out of me.

I’m having the same issue. It wraps beautifully in the ‘Visual’ tab of the editor, but on the itself, it wraps only one line. I’ve edited the code with so many parameters that I’m beginning to get lost.

CODE:

<img class=”alignleft” src=”https://www.appliedhappiness.org/mediaz/happy_map.jpg&#8221; alt=”Happiness Mind Map” width=”330″ height=”245″ img style=”margin: 0px 10px 0px 0px;” /><p style=”text-align: left;”><span style=”color: #006699;”>”Are you happy?” Wow, what a loaded question! That could mean a million different things to a million different people, right? …..etc

Please, please, please help me get this thing to work.

I have to finish these last two pages!

Thanks!

Never mind. I figured it out. I had to go into myphpadmin and modify the imported database, and then call up the prefixes on the data in my config file.

Ok, I flushed my DNS entries so I have access to my site again. I’ve changed the theme and widgets to make it feel more like the original setup, but I can’t connect to my database to get my content back.

I put in the blog name – ‘ahblog’
I put in username – ‘alexanderblake’
I put in password – ‘xxxxxxxxxxxx’
I put in DB HOST (Here’s my problem)

According to Dreamhost, the server is ‘popeye.dreamhost.com’

According to myphpadmin, the server is ‘baah.appliedhappiness.org’

The baah.appliedhappiness.org is the hostname on the server, but I’m confused as to which to put.

The wp-config setup:
When I put ‘baah.appliedhappiness.org’ I get a website, but no old content – in fact, I just get a blank white page.. When I put in ‘popeye.dreamhost.com’ I get “Failed to establish connection.’

I spoke with the host, and they’re going to resolve the blah, blah, blah.

Any ideas?

Hell yes! Sweet!

NOW, how do I turn the links I made into pages?

i.e. I made the pages, but I need the links up top to link to said pages. Do I simply link them to the whole http address, or is there a shortcut like “./page2.htm” ?

Thanks!!

Awesome.

I followed the instructions, but now I just want to close them off so the blue background doesn’t bleed through between each link. Ideally, it would be a box that goes across the center column that houses the buttons, and keeps the background out. Maybe add a border to each button.

I’m going to keep digging. Maybe I’ll find a sweet code to make them into tabs or something that will integrate nicer.

Thanks for the fast response!

Thank you!

I was having a hell of a time trying to figure out why it wasn’t showing up until I realized I spelled my own damn filename wrong.

You can never account for user error, right?

Thanks again.

Okay,

I created a DB for her using my cPanel. I’m hosting through Camelot-Hosting because they fully integrated my Zen-Cart.

My server for files is server2.camelot-hosting.com but what do I put for the DB address in the wp-config.php file?

DB_HOST is (databasename).server2.camelot_hosting.com ??

Thanks!

Rather than setup a new hosting account at host.sk (which is awesome, by the way), I would like to just host her DB on my server. I can create a new DB with ease using my cPanel, but how do I tell WP on her host to see the DB on my server?

Thanks

WAIT. The freeSQL stuff is outstanding. But I also have a ridiculous amount of hosting space for my personal sites. Can’t I just host her database on my site?

Then point the wp-admin/wp-configure.php file to her SQL on my server?

Thanks!
