Sorry, I’ll try again: https://www.daretothink.co.uk/links/

Here’s the page I’m working on:

Ummm, that’s a bit strange then because I’ve 8 marked as HAM in Akismet but only 2 comments overall?

You say that the problem is solved but where do you enter that code you’ve mentioned? As previously mentioned if you’re using a theme with a dynamic sidebar then there’s no obvious place to enter that code.

Any ideas?

Maybe, but I’ve never had WP add this on to my hostname previously. I’m convinced this is what is causing my inability to auto upgrade any of my plugins.

I’ve seen that link before and couldn’t implement the code he wrote. From what I can see though this code works perfectly if you use the Default WordPress Theme. You replace the code:

<?php wp_list_categories(‘show_count=1&title_li=<h2>Categories</h2>’); ?>

with

<?php $categories = wp_list_categories(‘title_li=&show_count=1&echo=0’);
$categories = ereg_replace(‘ \(([0-9]+)\)’, ‘ (\1)’, $categories);
echo $categories; ?>

in the “sidebar.php” file.

But, if you’re using a theme which has a dynamic sidebar then there’s no place to enter this code.

It does seem a very easy thing doesn’t it? And something I’m a little confused as to why WP can’t have resolved by now with their code.

To be honest these forums are some of the worst I’ve ever come across – I’ve given up hope of ever finding a solution.

Does anyone have any clues with this?

Not sure I understand your question but basically you need to enter your FTP details i.e. server, username and password as provided by your web hosts.

I’ve managed to figure out how to do this. If you look at this link there are many ways that you can call in the date to your post including not having a zero on single digit dates. You then need to look in your WP php files such as archive.php and change “the_time” element to how you want.

Just to let you know that I managed to revolve this issue by upgrading to the very latest version of WP (by doing this manually) and then it seemed to remove the :// element that was messing up the automatic upgrades. Hope this helps you as well?

Umm, I must have been doing something wrong – or maybe when i copy and pasted the ftp details there was something incorrect with that because I’ve just gone through and managed to update everything!

Umm, I really don’t know why this won’t work. I’ve uploaded files and such like to my site hundreds of times in the past but this, supposed simple task, is causing me so many problems.

I’m using exactly the same ftp details as what I use for my ftp client and I also decided to set up a new ftp user and that didn’t work either?!

I’ve been in touch with my webhosts and they have only told me exactly what I already know.

Yes, correct. To be honest I’ve never been able to get this to work with any of the 3 different hosting companies I’ve ever used… I always just give up and go down the manual route but I’d like to go automatic!

Unfortunately, still the same error message?!
