In reply to: Entire WordPress Site Suddenly VANISHEDAfter Dhikra posted, I just checked again and am glad to see it looks to be back. I was getting a 404 when I checked it before so perhaps there was just a database hiccup.
Make sure to backup while you still can though, just in case.

In reply to: Multiple Bullet list next to each other?If you are talking about multiple lists, just wrap each list in its own div.
<div style="float: left;">
List 1.
</div>
<div style="float: left;">
List 2.
</div>
If it is a single list and is unordered, you can break it up into separate lists and just wrap each one to achieve the look you want without getting into anything too serious with coding.

In reply to: Entire WordPress Site Suddenly VANISHEDIf you don’t have a backup, try contacting your hosting provider right away and ask them if they have one (most major hosting providers will run a backup every 24-48 hours).
Always backup your WP install before doing any changes, especially those that involve themes and plugins.
There are some free plugins available that might help you with backups. Some can simplify making a backup so you can 1-click to get a file with everything you need if something goes wrong while you are making changes.
There are also some plugins that will help you automate the backup process so that you always have a fallback and don’t have to rely on yourself remembering to do it, or on your hosting provider to have backed up your files.

In reply to: Better WP Security – Database ErrorThank you for the reply. As for the “Why not [go do such and such]“, I had no clue what to do. I am still learning this stuff and have not gotten to the point where I know what I am doing outside of installing plugins and doing some basic code editing.
Thank you for the suggestion on what to do to fix it. I will read up a bit and give it a try.

In reply to: How do I create a static category page?So your site shows the latest posts on the front page and you want it to show another page on your site? If so, then just go into Settings >> Reading >> Front page displays. Choose the “A static page (select below)” option and use the pulldown to select the page that you want to show as your Front Page.
That is the way I am reading your post so if you mean something else, and someone else hasn’t already give you the info you want, please try to explain what you want a little more.

In reply to: Security ProblemDon’t highlight anything on this page. Just hit CTRL+U. It should open a page with the source code for this page. Alternatively, you should also be able to just right-click an empty spot on this page and, in the menu that opens, find an option that says something to the effect of “View Page Source”.
Go to Google.com. Try it there. One of the biggest companies in the world, and arguably the most net saavy, has viewable source code. Having viewable source code is not a security risk (at least not one that is avoidable). It is required for your browser, giving the browser the information it needs to be able to know what it should show you when you visit a site.
**Edit to note that Ctrl+U opens page source in FireFox and Chrome. Ctrl+B in FF opens bookmarks. Ctrl+B in Chrome for older versions opened bookmarks (changed to Ctrl+Shift+B). If you are using Opera, Ctrl+F3 will open page source. In IE 8, Alt+V+C opens page source (used to be Ctrl+U). For others, you will have to look that up.

In reply to: Urgent – Can't view dashboard. – send me to alexarankchecker.comTo be certain of what is happening here, you are going to your site at yoururl.com. Upon arriving, you see your site for a split second and then are forwarded to the domain alexarankchecker.com site where it tells you that your domain has expired?
If this is the case, I am going to guess and say that your site is hijacked. They added code to your site that has it forward to another site, in your case, alexarankchecker.com.
Now regarding the message about the domain name being expired, I believe that message applies to alexarankchecker.com, not your domain. You are seeing the message on alexarankchecker.com and not your own site, correct? If you WhoIs that site, it shows the domain expired Nov 10 of this year, close to a month ago.
In summary, I am assuming that you site was hacked and now it forwards users to another site, and that site happens to no longer be active because of an expired domain.

In reply to: Recommend a photo gallery plugin?NextGEN Gallery is a very popular and free one.
It should be able to do what you want, including showing galleries (organizing groupings for your photos) and displaying slideshows.
There are other options out there so make sure to test some out and look around before you decide on one.

In reply to: Captcha For Submitting Posts (Not Comments)Thank you very much for the suggestion ChristiNi.
That is a nice looking plugin, but I specifically want the users to access the backend as opposed to using a form to submit posts from a page. Sadly it doesn’t have what I am looking for. Once again though, thanks for taking the time to make the suggestion.

In reply to: Some Users See Home Page as 404Govpatel, thanks for looking at it again. It displays as I want it to now.
Rather than using a post page, I am using a static page that is controlled by the Suffusion theme. The Suffusion theme has a built-in Magazine template that I am using to handle the static page.
I set up the Magazine style template the way I wanted it and assigned the template to the static page that I set as the home page. As new posts are made on the blog, the Suffusion theme automatically updates the static page that I am using as my home page with the changes per the settings I chose for it.
