Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Dashboard broken after upgrading to wp 2.8I don’t understand why this issue is “resolved”. I don’t see a solution in here anywhere.
I’m in the same boat; a plain WordPress install that’s been there for a long time, and only used the automatic update process inside the dashboard. No changes recently other than posts, and the dashboard is unusable even through the blog still runs. Same issue as the screen snapshots in this post, I notice some of the dashboard elements reporting that javascript is not enabled, which is not true.
No help at all?
I’ve got the same issue across two WordPress installs. Clearing browser doesn’t seem to solve the problem. What is the cause of this?
Another clue, the little plug ins for news about WordPress say JavaScript is not enabled, when it it.

In reply to: static information box on homepageIf by “static box” you mean some fixed text that displays on every page, you could add it as HTML to your presentation template (this is the “presentation” tab in the dashboard, and you need to use the “theme editor”). For my site the “main template” contains the top of the page for all pages:
<body>
<div id="headerblock">
<h1 id="header"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a></h1>
<strong><?php bloginfo('description'); ?></strong></div> <!-- headerblock -->
The “headerblock” contains the code which generates the top of a page. You could, as an example, enter some HTML and it would be rendered into each page that WordPress generates. Try inserting:
Hey, a static box!
before the closing “div” tag on the last line to see how it works.
Side issue: if you enter your description in the “tagline” box under the “options” tab in the dashboard, this is what is placed in the header where you see
bloginfo('description')in the example.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Put WordPress on the main page?Note that the codex link provided was specifically “having WordPress as default while it’s in another directory”. Two other options:
1) Install WordPress to the home directory of your web site.
2) Repoint the web servers home directory to the one where you installed WordPressYou choice depends on what you think is most work. You could move your wordpress files up a level for “1”. Or, you could edit your web server config file for “2”. Or, you could follow the instructions in the codex above and just move two files and do some editing.
