In reply to: import problem – page already existsWhen you say you deleted them, did you also empty the trash, thus deleting them permanently?
I’ve not used xml import, but it could be possible that the importer sees the deleted posts if they are still inside of the trash.

In reply to: Changing my front pageIn that case, the widgets may be hard-coded into the page template, most likely in a file called home.php or similar. It’s hard to tell just by looking at your site from the outside, but this is where most hard-coded widgets would be found.
Unfortunately, it won’t be easy to change without knowing your way around the code. You may need some outside help if you’re not comfortable with php.

In reply to: Changing my front pageThey are widgets, and are located in Appearance>Widgets. You may need to expand the themes widget areas in the right-hand column (they are probably collapsed by default) and locate the specific widgets by title to modify their contents.

Can you include a link to the broken page?

In reply to: Footer PHP and Search bar helpIt would probably be easier to add a widget area to the footer instead. That way you can easily use the widget area of the dashboard to add a search widget (or any widget you like) to the new footer widget area you created.
The answer to this topic should point you in the right direction.
A Google search for “how to add widgets to wordpress” will return even more info.Hope that helps,
JerryDid you try disabling all other plugins beside TinyMCE, to see if the conflict is being caused by another plugin on your site? I’d check there first. If you’re still having problems, go the extra step of changing back to the default WordPress theme, to see if it’s your theme that is causing the issue.
Best of luck!

In reply to: Upload ImageThis is most likely caused by the memory limit your host has placed on uploads to your site. This is not always (but often) related to the size of your file.
There are a few workarounds you can try (here’s an example of the common ones) but in the end, you’re probably better off contacting your hosting provider directly, and asking them to increase your memory limits.
You may have to do this a few times before you get success. Try asking them to increase your limit to 64M or 96M to start out.
Best of luck!

In reply to: [Acunetix WP Security] Warning to change WP_ at setup?They are referring to the table prefix (wp_) of the MySQL database that your installation of WordPress is running on. This is the default prefix used by most auto-installer programs, but is considered a vector for attack.
If you’re serious about security, you will want to change this to something else. It can be anything but ‘wp’ so you could call it macattak_ for example.
You can do this manually if you’re brave, or use the built in wp-security-scan tool to help you change it.
BE SURE TO MAKE A BACKUP COPY OF YOUR DATABASE BEFORE MAKING ANY CHANGES TO IT”S STRUCTURE!!
First turn off all plugins, and test only the plugin you’re having a problem with. If it works OK then turn your other plugins on 1 by 1 until you can identify the one causing the problem.

In reply to: Wiped out WORDPRESS!Looks like all your main navigation links work just fine. A caching issue in the browser perhaps? Did you resolve the issue on your own?

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] basic setupAs for your other question, you may want to open a separate topic here in the forum. Posting multiple questions on a single thread is frowned upon.

In reply to: [Contact Form 7] basic setupSounds like a conflict with another plugin possibly,
I’d start by deactivating all plugins except CF7, and see if you still have troubles sending the form. If that comes out OK, turn on the plugins one at a time and re-test until you find the culprit.

In reply to: Image Uploader ErrorPossibly the old media settings are in effect from when the site was on the old host?
In dashboard>settings>media check to see if “Store uploads in this folder” says “wp-content/uploads” only, and not a longer file path.
Also, make sure that “Full URL path to files” is blank.
Not sure if this will solve your issue, but it’s the first place I’d check.

In reply to: Make images pop up in a boxIt’s called a lightbox, and you can find several in the plugin repository, most of which work with no trouble.

In reply to: Stop HTML editor from stripping my HTML?The visual editor will strip out any invalid code you add automatically. So the solution is to use code that it will not strip out (or even better, make changes to the CSS of your theme) to accomplish the same result.
Are you trying to add a break
<br />
tag? those get stripped out all the time. Try a non-breaking space
instead. This is a hack, to be sure, but it works in most cases.
