In reply to: Where do I find the wp-content folder?Please be extremely specific.
Where, specifically, are you looking for it? Normally, it’s right there with all of your other WordPress files and folders. If you have these items all together, in the same place, listed by name (alphabetically), it should be the second item in the list, between the wp-admin and wp-includes folders.

In reply to: Restoring Backup with phpMyAdminHi – I hope that I understand your issue and that what I offer is of some use…
I recently used wp-db-backup to help me move five of my sites to a new host with no issue. I would add that I used the plugin’s default settings to back up my dbs, and that all were restored successfully to a new server.
First thing that comes to mind reading your post is that there may be a maximum file size for importing databases to your server. If that’s the case, and your db exceeds that maximum (usually ~10M), then it’s possible that this is the cause of the incomplete import. There is no notification on the server side if this is the case, although you may see that any number of tables appear to have been imported.
Also, when importing into a newly created database, any tables that exist in that database, including any that were created on earlier, failed import attempts, should be dropped before attempting to import anew. IOW, You want to import your tables into an empty database.
If your attempts at importing continue to fail, you can still import your database manually (cutting and pasting) using the instructions at the bottom of this page.
Good luck!

In reply to: Can i remove “powered by WordPress”?If you look at footer.php in the Default theme, you’ll see this comment:
<!-- If you'd like to support WordPress, having the "powered by" link somewhere on your blog is the best way; it's our only promotion or advertising. -->
I suppose that’s another way of saying that if you wouldn’t like to support WordPress in this way, then it’s okay to remove the link.

In reply to: Getting Started after installingI can’t seem to find anything that is being discussed in the “instructions” pages.
Start pressing buttons and arrows inside the Dashboard just to see what happens, and take things from there. (Most likely, you will not be able to blow up the world, or even set your home or office on fire, from the WP Dashboard.)
Good luck!

This is for older versions of WP. These items are now in the left sidebar.

In reply to: Editing code into index.html (or .php?)header.php
Glad to know it isn’t just me (and sorry it’s you).
I’ve sort of come to the conclusion that my host (who will go unnamed here) may have changed or updated a script and that’s what’s causing this. There isn’t really anything else that would explain it, but they haven’t provided a useful response to my queries, so I have no fix to suggest yet.
Meanwhile, I’m getting used to Descending order. ??
Happy Holidays!
EDIT: Apologies, also, for not seeing until now that you’d posted about this previously.

In reply to: Stylesheets ignored when saving WP pages as PDFNever mind. Answer is here.
In short, whether overlooked, by default or by choice, none of these WP sites contain print styles (and/or links to print stylesheets in their headers), so there is no CSS applied to printed or PDF versions of their pages.

In reply to: Safari OSX Insert Link causes hangIf you’re using Safari 4 Beta, you should either abandon the visual editor or revert to Safari 3.x. (By all reports, Safari 4 Beta won’t work with the upcoming 10.5.7 update, anyway.)
Also, use the Report Bug button to describe the issue you’re having and send the report to Apple. If that button isn’t in your toolbar already, add it from Safari’s View menu.

In reply to: Bad Behavior 403 renders WordPress uselessDon’t know how I missed it, though!
You posted here at pretty much the same time the update was posted there, so you could say that it missed you. ??

In reply to: Bad Behavior 403 renders WordPress uselessMy first instinct, when I had the same problem a little while ago, was to visit the BB site to look for information, and what do you think I found…?
https://www.bad-behavior.ioerror.us/2007/12/06/bad-behavior-2011/
All users should update to Bad Behavior 2.0.11 immediately to prevent being blocked from your own site.
Within the past two days users have found themselves blocked from their own sites while using recent versions of Bad Behavior. A third party blacklist which Bad Behavior queries recently began sending false positives for any IP address queried, causing everyone using Bad Behavior to be blocked. This issue is fixed in Bad Behavior 2.0.11

In reply to: what’s the difference between rtl.css and stylesheet?rtl.css is called when you are using a language localization that reads from right to left (e.g., Arabic or Hebrew).
