I can’t find them either…. I’ve got the final version of 2.5.

However, I’ve got two blogs & the “Press it” for one of them is on this PC & it works.

The code in the properties tag is:

javascript:if(navigator.userAgent.indexOf('Safari') >= 0){Q=getSelection();}else{Q=document.selection?document.selection.createRange().text:document.getSelection();}location.href='https://userweb.port.ac.uk/~duke-wie/blog/wp-admin/post-new.php?text='+encodeURIComponent(Q)+'&popupurl='+encodeURIComponent(location.href)+'&popuptitle='+encodeURIComponent(document.title);

I’ve just edited the URL and put in the one for the other blog.

I’m guessing that it’s probably in there somewhere – just not somewhere I’ve yet found.

I’ve just uploaded one file with no problems (it was a Word Doc). I’m now trying to upload another & am getting that error message, with the 105 number.

I don’t think that the folder name has changed (could it have changed in 5 minutes without me doing anything to it??)

Not sure of the answer, but from a pedantic point of view – do you *need* to have that information. What if people don’t want to give it?
Will it be compulsory?

TRy leaving out the public_html = just go for the URL that your visitors use to get to the home page – (I’m guessing it’s ce.startlogic.com/WordPress) – then the wp-admin/upgrade.php bit

Just to finish this; I continued to investigate, and finally we tracked it down to the fact that I’d set up “pretty hyperlinks”, and therefore set up a .htaccess file. Mod-rewrite wasn’t enabled on the server, which seemed to have the effect of allowing the pretty hyperlinks, but requiring full paths in all files.

I therefore reset to default hyperlinks & re-uploaded the original (unedited files) – unbeknown to me, at the same time, the web team decided to allow mod_rewrite, so when I just tested pretty hyperlinks it still worked.

I was rather mystified, until the person who’d figured it was the hyperlinks told me that at the same time as we’d been experimenting, the other guy had altered the server.

All working! But what a headache. If this is of use to anyone else, then at least that’s one good thing!

You said you’ve read the info page about permalinks, but that you couldn’t find the answer to your problem.

What have you done? Did you create the .htaccess file & give it the correct permissions?

If you did, what are its contents?

Do you know if you’ve got the mod rewrite enabled on your server? If you haven’t the section that starts Using Permalinks Without mod_rewrite might be useful!

I doubt it! I’m trying to get it moved back to where it was before, but not much luck!

However, that might explain why another blog on the server is working – as they don’t have the tilde!

But, thanks for such swift feedback ??

OK … I’ve got it going. I’ve had to manually put the full relative path in – e.g.
rather than
require_once(‘/wp-config.php’);
I’ve had to put in:
require_once(‘/data3/homes/duke-wie/public_html/blog/wp-config.php’);

Could this be because I entered the incorrect information in the site url?

The blog is at https://userweb.port.ac.uk/~duke-wie/blog – so I put in https://userweb.port.ac.uk/~duke-wie/blog as the URI etc.

Should I infact have a longer path, to reflect what’s going on internally, or is it the way that the server is set up, that has meant that I have to have the longer paths?

My main concern would be that the post nearest the top of the page is that that’s been most recently posted – not necessarily the most recently commented on. If someone comments on a post that’s not at the top, few – if any – people will know.

If you have a look at Elgg & look at the communities there (like group blogs) you’ll see that tyou can select “forum view” – which shows the most recently commented post first, or blog view, which has the most recently posted post first.
(see e.g. https://elgg.org/mod/forum/forum.php?owner=5 – where at present the blog view & forum view both have different first posts).

For WordPress to work well like this, I guess you’d need a plugin that would let you re-order posts & switch between most recently commented & most recently posted.

I’m still struggling with this!

I’m sure it’s the server configuration, rather than WordPress, but I have a couple of questions.

I’ve found that ABSPATH is define as (dirname(__FILE__) – and that it’s sometimes used when a file has to be called – whether it’s in the same directory or a different one, yet other times just the path to the file is put in.

I’ve tried putting (dirname(__FILE__) in wherever there isn’t an ABSPATH, but still no joy – (I found a useful site on the B2evolution blogs page with quite a few examples & it seems that the initial backslash for a file in the same directory (the examples 1 & 2 above) are optional.

So why can’t you just install it in the root & then have some additional folders for the other pages & create some links to them in the header.

I’m still a little confused as to where the www.remarpro.com account comes in …. that doesn’t give you a blog does it? The only thing I can do here is to write in the forum, though I do have a blog on WordPress.com.

Looks the same (fine!) in both IE 7 & Firefox for me.

My screen is set to 1280 wide & I have both browsers fully sized. I also have the text in both set to “medium” (normal).

I just got started on www.remarpro.com

Do you mean “WordPress.com”?

I already have wordpress installed on my site’s host but didn’t know where to go from here.

Do you mean that you want to move all the posts from the hosted one to your own, or do you want to continue posting at wordpress.com & have them mirrored on your own site (i.e. to have two blogs?)

If you want to do the former, then you can merge the data from the two databases (it’s easiest if the newer one hasn’t got much in it).

However, assuming that you have the newest version on your site you can just go to the dashboard on WordPress.com & find “export” (under manage) – and export it, then import it to your new site.

If you’re wanting to have two blogs going on at the same time & just have to write one post, rather than two, I’ve not found a way to do that yet with WordPress. I’ve got two blogs – one with WordPress (well, it’s currently offline, but I *did* have two), and one with a system called Elgg. The latter made it very easy to embed RSS feeds & use them to create new posts, so I was able to write on the WordPress blog & have it appear on the Elgg one.
I wasn’t able to find a plugin, though, to let me do the reverse – which surprised me, as I would have thought that someone would have created one. (I didn’t hunt that hard, as I’m fine with it the way that it is).

Check via your control panel that the files have installed (you should have quite a few files in the root directory of the blog, and 3 more folders)

As Moshu says – do it manually …

so, check that Fantastico has created the right info in wp-config.php (probably it has)

Now go (in your browser) to ….. wp-admin/install.php – and see if that will start up & trigger the tables to appear in the database.

Have a look at the installation instructions on this site – it’s really pretty easy to do manually (and you’ll probably get the latest version – which you mayn’t have with Fantastico

Can you see the databases – does the webadmin panel that you have let you see them (is there a button called “phpmyadmin” or something like that?

Also, I’m guessing this is just a typo – but you’ve said that the db that Fantastico says it’s created is “palosdec_wrp1 – but that it’s looking for palosdec_wrdp1 … just check that they are actually the same!
