okie i guess u mean this area

// Table names
$wpdb->posts = $table_prefix . ‘posts’;
$wpdb->users = $table_prefix . ‘users’;
$wpdb->categories = $table_prefix . ‘categories’;
$wpdb->post2cat = $table_prefix . ‘post2cat’;
$wpdb->comments = $table_prefix . ‘comments’;
$wpdb->links = $table_prefix . ‘links’;
$wpdb->linkcategories = $table_prefix . ‘linkcategories’;
$wpdb->options = $table_prefix . ‘options’;
$wpdb->postmeta = $table_prefix . ‘postmeta’;

i guess wp-db->options table contains the address of the blog for each of the two sites.

now what I need is that the $wp-db->options table is referenced locally and all other tables are looked up from a remote location….
now for this I guess we shall have to define two usernames and passwords, one for the local sql database and one for the remote database, and then we have to create two connection objects etc.
i dont know any php, but can you gimme a hint as to how I can hardcode the tables- then I shall try to work out a solution.

okie that means that its a bug in the default wordpress theme…..
the theme should have used <?php echo get_settings(‘home”); ?>

then its a bug anyway. i shall edit the bug track and change the category to “template”

Thanks Cron!

okie, new ticket submitted in bug tracker…….

yep i did update my permalinks, but does updating permalinks really affect the way ‘<?php echo get_settings(‘siteurl’); ?>’ tag behaves?

I assume that ‘<?php echo get_settings(‘siteurl’); ?>’ tag just picks up the site url from the database and throws it on the webpage.

the ‘<?php echo get_settings(‘siteurl’); ?>’ tag should be picking up the blog address from the database and not the wordpress location.

okie, delete ur .htaccess and try updating the permalink structure again

okie i guess u are installing wordpress on the new server. nopes u dont need to install. just dump wordpress onto the server and do not run install.php. now upload ur database, modify ur wp-config.php and point ur browser to /wp-admin/upgrade.php

i really want to install wp on two different sites and use the same database- with the same content on each site. and yes the above mentioned problems shall exist, but i dont know how to encode the DOM thingy…. is there any workaround possible. and yes the idea of hardcoding the blog address into the wp-config file is good but its upto the developers to see into it.

yep okay, the new wordpress picks up the info from ur profile when u r logged in- it is a feature, so it would be better if you modify the default theme so that it resembles ur customised layout.
Do activate the default theme accompanying wordpress and then u shall be able to see that there is a “logout” link right next to the comment form if u r logged in. include this link in ur customised theme.
The “.” user is a bug in the current wordpress version, so it was necessary to be removed and now hopefully ur other problem shall be solved too.

first of all, the plugins cannot be accessed directly using a path
now do this
1) place ur plugin files in the following path https://lilylpod.com/wordpress/wp-content/plugins/
2) login to ur wordpress and goto the plugins section
3) Ur new plugins shall be detected and displayed here
4) activate ur new plugins

*Note: all plugins require some sort of a php code to be inserted in ur template, read the help files accompanying the plugin.

check that a new user with the name”.” {period or dot whatever u’d like to call it} has been created in the users section. remove this new user and then everything shall work fine

hmm… actually it has saved me a lot of time…. I stay at a remote location and there is no broadband access. I use dialup-internet and If i am lucky, I get around 30 kbps.
downloading wordpress install files takes approx 15 minutes and then uploading takes another 25 minutes….
but trasloading is instant and moving files takes 5 minutes….
but anyways, I guess there is no solution
thanks

thanks oriecat and dss….. did everything but still didnt help. was just looking at the wordpress changlelog and found that the the bug has been fixed. will again try to upgrade now…

okie this error was resolved when i removed this line from index.php

<?php next_post('% |:',' ','yes','no','1') ?> <?php previous_post(':| %','','yes','no','1') ?></P>

its the link to the previous and next posts. but however the comments form and existing comments to posts refuse to show up

links are showing up as plain text
while writing the post, press the link quicktag and enter the URL then u write what u wanna appear as text for the link {eg. “click here for pictures”} and click on close tags…. this should help u out

while backing up the database from phpmyadmin, did u use the “add drop table” under the SQL structure options? if not then backup the database again with that option selected [read the db backup procedure].
even though ur tables are blank, but it just works that way. do tell if it helped.
