I just called godaddy and they said GD Library is all set and updated.

I just tried the same image on my old wordpress site on a different server with a different host co. and the same thing happens. The thumbnail at 300px is blurry but when you click on it, it opens as a larger view using the lightbox plugin and it’s perfectly clear at the original px dimensions I specified in photoshop.

ok, great.

Thank you esmi.

ok, thanks.

I want to hide my site from visitors and have them see a under maintenance screen NOT my live wordpress site. I want to still be able to make changes to the site and view the changes live on the server. Once I’m done I want to remove the maintenance page and have the site live.

Nevermind I got it to work using these two pieces of code below. Somehow this option kept the styling of my already created nav.

“Simply add the code below to your theme’s functions.php file:”

add_theme_support( 'menus' );

Once you have enabled the feature, now you can add it in your theme. These menus are not limited for header.php file only. You can add them anywhere you like to fit your design’s need by pasting the code below:

<?php wp_nav_menu( array( 'sort_column' => 'menu_order', 'container_class' => 'menu-header' ) ); ?>

Any help on this?
Thanks

Thats going to take a while to implement. At least it looks confusing. I’ll see if I can figure out what I need to do next, thanks esmi.

Guys thank you.

The more I do this the more I realize I need to learn php to understand things fully.

I’m just not that enthused to delve into it.

I have not found a system that teaches it in a way that shows what it can do through examples of real world needs.

esmi, thank you.

Ok.

I think I understand.

Once the pages are created in the database they cannot be edited like my css or html pages or php pages etc in a standard type website.
Only the content can be edited using the control panel or where content was deemed editable in the original template?

If I want a custom style page I need to define those pages in my templates and base my custom pages off of those templates?

iso.

Thank you for all the help.

I look forward to looking at your tutorials.

iso.

Thanks. I will take a look at your pages.

I presently have wp installed on a live server and access the page at my friends live site.

I figured out I can login by placing this at the end of the address:wp-login.php

I remember talking with the host co when they installed it for me and getting my password.

Is that control panel that I am looking for to LEARN the system in conjunction with the php control panel from the host co.?

If so is that ok to do? Are there any security risks with that?

Can I change my username from the default. I read it’s not safe to keep it the default username.

Thanks
iso.

Thanks.

So if I use the wp thats installed on my server and use that system to learn is all my testing/learning done using my php control panel set up with the host?

Since I am completely new to this I am having a hard time figuring out how to control things. Probably because I skipped learning php/mysql.

When I built my site I used html/css and direct access to my files on the server to modify things. With wp where will my controls be??
