I just read here

… that the connection information I’m being asked for is the ftp coordinates for my server. So I entered that info. And it just sits there, “waiting for www.(domain).com… and nothing appears to be happening.

So I’m going to bed and praying there are answers in the morning…

Thanks,

Another note, I wonder if the problem has something to do with the re-direct of the WP directory, so that the root directory would be the WP site. This is what I’ve got in my “General” settings.

?WordPress address (URL) https://www.danacoopermusic.com/wp

Blog address (URL) https://www.danacoopermusic.com

I went through the various hoops I had to go through to get that to work, but is that what’s now causing this problem with the plug-in install?

Is there a “manual” way to install the plug-in instead?

Thanks,

Hmmm. Possibly another limitation of the theme my client has chosen (some obscure thing called “ModiOne” which seems to have some other limitations that are frustrating me (like pages not showing in the menu under parent, sidebar not cooperating…)

I’ve found the kitchen sink, but when I open it I still don’t see a font selector drop-box or font-size selector.

I would have thought that’s a standard WP feature, not something dependent on the theme. But I’m a newbie re: WP, and learning a lot quickly.

Thanks,

Who is this “esmi” person who really doesn’t have any answers but will offer all kinds of wild ass ‘destroy the village in order to save it’ suggestions?

We come here for actual answers. Guessing we can do ourselves.

You’re guessing?

OK, I restored a “fresh” version of the wp-includes folder, and all the warnings are STILL there. Now what?

–PS

No, I did not upload from a “fresh” download of WP 2.9.1 because that detail was left out of was not the instruction. I have a separate download on a different computer, do you think that will be “fresh” enough? I hope so, I’m going to try that now.

OK, I re-uploaded the wp-includes folder, which took like 20 minutes, but the “WordPress Development Blog” is still showing a long list of entries.

I noticed that there is a “configure” link next to the header, so I clicked that, and I selected “2” for the number entries, but I’m still getting dozens of entries.

Likewise “Other wordpress news” is producing dozens of entries, as is the “plugins” column on the left. So, umm…

Now what?

Thanks,
