preface: i moved my Mu from subdirectories to subdomains. I copied the blog directory from the old location to the new location. I got this error but with a twist

‘Unable to create directory…//2008/05’

that double slash confused me. i tried everything that everyone here tried. then i renamed the numbered blogh directories. directory ‘1’ because ‘1_old’. Mu then recreated the folder properly and everything works.

thats a pretty awesome theme

where can i get this theme?

great write up.

the wordpress community is a bunch of jerks. this is a hobby – not all of us code for Microsoft. we do this for fun. your cockiness hasnt been earned. i’m a music teacher. i’d be a jerk if every time some middle school kid asked me for help i told him to screw off and go read a book. ‘go read a book and practice, practice, practice. it only takes 5 minutes. what the hell is wrong with with you? i could have played that lick in 5 minutes. youre obviously in way over your head. if you can’t do this much, youre better off quiting

my point being is that even if i read a dozen books on php, which i have and continue to do, some of these ‘obvious’ answers are rather difficult. so your sarcasm and smarminess is tacky and insulting. it reminds me to be more polite to the people in my own field who might lack my expertise. i’ll end this rant by saying thanks to the people who gave me the hints it took to fix my code.

very nice, tasteful.

ok, i was being very general. very very general. most pages come from page.php. some themes have customized page templates. on the other point, not all themes have a post.php. to be picky, some themes have single_post.php, instead. a number of the themes on my WPMU installs dont have either.

*shrug* no matter, the idea is the same. check out the page listed above for customization info. you wanna get rid of the sidebar on the front page? delete/comment out the call for the sidebar in index.php.

unless i’m mistaken, your site will load anything like index.php or home or whatever. they shouldnt have to type domain.com/index.php. if this is a wordpress site, they should type domain.com and it’ll load index automatically.

the manual process allows me to keep what every personal hacks i’ve worked into my site. i’m diligent about commenting my hacks – but upgrading manually gives me the greatest amount of control. worst case scenario? i spend weeks figuring out a cool way to do something, upgrade and lose it. then i gotta dig thru backups. also, if one of my hacks doesnt get copied over, but cacks up my site, i know it right away.

comment out the call for the side bar in your index.php. you could also just delete it. it could look like
‘<?php get_sidebar();?> ‘
or maybe
‘<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH.”/l_sidebar.php”);?>’
or a couple of other ways, but either way, thats what you wanna get ride of.

the side bar in your other pages should be unaffected. the front page – unless you’ve changed it – is index.php. all subsequent pages and posts come from page.php and post.php, respectively. your page.php might actually only be a copy of index.php renamed to ‘page’, thats what i do. leave that one alone. if you want to customize your pages even further, you can copy page.php, customize it, give it a new name and then select your new page template when you create the new page.

contact me if you need any more help.

just create the new page and link to it in your menu. there are also plugins that do this.

most excellent!

why dont you just move your current sidebar?

they were named .phps so that they could be stored without causing problems.

you should create a directory where ever you want it. i put things in root just to keep them simple.

https://yoursite.com/mp3folder

then upload to that folder.

then you have several options to play the file. but either way, youre gonna call it

[audio src="https://yoursite.com/mp3folder/bigassmp3.mp3" /]

in fact, i think that if you simply typed the address in a browser, it should play for you.
