Yes, I have the exact same issue. The “select theme” function is completely broken. I too installed the theme css files in my theme folder, and many other things, but nothing made this work. So now I’m building my own theme which is probably better anyway.

But just wanted to report this bug if any developers are listening….

Another issue is also, that there should be a “reset to default” option in case settings get messed up, or disappear altogether, which happened to me when I deactivated the plugin and reactivated it again.

I finally found the answer on the web somewhere else. It was a PHP Session issue on my server. I contacted my hosting provider and they fixed something on the php.ini file. All is working now!

I had problems too. My searches all went to the home page instead a search results page. So I looked at the code from a site where the search was working and found out that I had this missing:

name="s"

So I changed this:

<input type="text" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($s, 1); ?>" id="s" size="15" />

to this:

<input type="text" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($s, 1); ?>" name="s" id="s" size="15" />

And voila, the search is working!

This is exactly the problem I’m having. Shopping cart clears when I want to checkout or when I go to any other page. Also, I cannot add multiple products, each added product erases the previous one.

My shopping cart is on a client site which I build on my server. All worked fine. I then moved site to the client sever (same hosting provider) and now I have this issue.

How come it works on my server but not on another server that’s on the same hosting?

Is there a knwon fix for this issue?

Ok, I know now that I can’t install via Fantastico as this will overwrite the current database.

I’ve never installed WordPress manually, but I just tried and everything worked as expected.

Here are the steps for anyone else in the same situation:

• Create Database & User in Cpanel
• Download WordPress files onto harddrive
• Change wp-config file (add database name, username, password)
• Upload files to client subdirectory on server
• Go to https://yourdomain.com/Clients/xxxxx/wp-admin/
• Enter Blog Title (i.e. Client Company Name)
• Email address: your email address
• Click “Install WordPress”
• Copy automatic username and password to clipboard
• Login with automatic username and password
• You will get to WordPress dashboard
• Change password (recommended)

Voila, you’re set to start designing the theme for the client.

This doesn’t answer my question. I know the steps, but I need to know specifically about the database installation.

I did some more research and I’m pretty sure that I will have to manually install WordPress into a subdirectory to avoid overwriting my existing database. This way I can create a new database from scratch naming it by the client for example. Am I right?

I also wonder if I move the site via the export/import feature in WordPress (see below) , if I have to worry about the database dump at all?

1. Create an export file.
2. Install WordPress on your new host.
3. Import the WordPress export files.
