I solved the problem.

WordPress sets up the HTML editor by default; not the WYSIWYG Visual editor. I believe in the past this was a global setting for all users, but now is tied to the user account.

To change that setting for each user do the following:

1. Login to WordPress
2. Click on Users
3. Click on your User you wish to edit (change the settings)
4. Check or uncheck the box “Disable the visual editor when writing”

all is working now ??

Seems strange (to me anyway) that the person that wrote the original template forgot the closing ?> – and that all was working without it.

thanks a lot,

Jane

P.S. So not all blondes are dumb then ??

I just downloaded the original template, and it doesn’t have a final

?>

either.

Should I add it?

thanks

Thanks for your patience stvwlf and for getting back to me again.

I tried adding the code at the end of the page and got ..

thanks.

Isn’t this just for the page that will be displayed to surfers?

I’m having a problem when adding a post, because I have lots of categories and sub-categories that need sorting out.

I mostly need to sort out my sub-categories, so that when I’m ready to publish a post I can just scroll down to ‘politicians’ (for example), and then check the ones in the sub-categories that are mentioned in the post.

Sorry if my original post was not clear ??

Jane

I used this feedburner option ..

Subscribe to Our Changing Globe by Email

Works great.

I have comments turned off because of spam.

Thanks for the help,

Jane

Well that was quick and much easier that trying to do it with the Comic Plug-in!

The plug-in solved the problem in seconds.

Thanks a lot!

Not sure if you need to be spanked or not ??

Jane

Hi Hotkee,

In WP tools I have ..

Import, Export, Upgrade

In ComicPress 1.4.4

I have …

Upload, Import, Bulk Edit, Storyline Structure, Change Dates, ComicPress Config, Manager Config

But not ‘merge’.

thanks,

Jane

P.S. Seems like the program would help people with many more thing

I installed and activated the plug-in and it was a very big one!

However, I don’t see how to use it. to solve my particular ‘problem’.

Please help.

thanks,

Jane

Deactivating and uninstalling the plug-in worked for me.

thanks.

Jane

Exactly,

I missed the mouse over and only saw the check boxes and ‘delete’.

It was easy, just like me!

thanks,

Jane
