In reply to: HELPP!!! I am installing on GoDaddy hosting…GoDaddy seems to offer the option between Windows/ASP and Linux/PHP.
If you’re on Windows, WP won’t work.

In reply to: Uploading images = javascript void?! help please!!In the first releases of 2.0 (I don’t recall if this has been fix since) there was an error with images whose titles contained an apostrophe.
Look through your database and remove any apostrophes in upload titles. The problem should be fixed.

In reply to: WordPress link lists on pagesIt should. You need to turn off rich-text, though.

In reply to: Categories on the flyIs there a way to add a sub-category to an existing parent category in the add categories box of the write post page?
No, though you can always add it while you’re writing the post then go to Manage >> Categories and make the new category a child later.

In reply to: Hyperlinking entire header image (in lieu hyperlinked h1 text)Sorry about that. My species generally speaks only in obscure CSS references.
After thinking about it more, I realised that there is more than simply dogin display: block;. Adding the code below (in
wp-content/themes/default/style.css
) will increase your clickable area some, but not completely. I’ll look into this more and reply back in a day or two.
#header a {
display: block;
height: 100%;
width: 100%;
}

In reply to: looks like an error in rssYou have whitespace at the top. I’d upgrade to 2.0 or check your wp-rss2.php to make sure there’s no random space in there before the php xml declaration.
(Look at the source of https://sdho.hayfordoleary.com/feed v. your feed. See the problem?)

In reply to: problem adding video code to postsTurn off the WYSIWYG editor — it messes up code even if you use the “HTML” button. Just go to your profile and turn it off for that post. After you finish writing the post, you should just be able to go turn the WYSIWYG back on (as long as you don’t edit the video post again).

In reply to: WordPress link lists on pagesYou’ll need to use PHP in the post to print an automated list. Check out this plugin — you should be able to run the PHP in it, though you may run into problems, as it would be printed within the loop.
Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: robots.txtrobots.txt is used to restrict search engines. Some site out there is linking to your blog, and a crawler robot is following that link to scan your site. You can use robots.txt if you don’t want a certain section of your website indexed.

In reply to: Hyperlinking entire header image (in lieu hyperlinked h1 text)In the CSS for the anchor, simply specify the largest width and height reasonable and append “display: block;”

In reply to: Pages not referencingOh. Do you have WP’s mod_rewrite (“pretty permalinks”) enabled?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WYSIWYG Editor and Inserting LinksYou can turn the WYSIWYG off in your profile.
I’ve had this problem, too, the only solution seems to be to use the WYSIWYG’s link button instead of typing in the code.

In reply to: 2.0 and the death of my permalink structureCouple things —
- Is your WordPress bit in the .htaccess on the absolute bottom of the file? This was a consistent problem.
- More obvious: your main index is index.php, right?

In reply to: Pages not referencingYou’re certain you don’t have a physical directory mimicking your page slug? If your page slug is “about” and you have a /about/ directory, /about/ may override it.
