Not directly, I’ve used paste from Word in the editor

I’ve now discovered, if I look at the HTML editor that posts that don’t show up have been preceded by the following. If I delete this, the post displays OK on my IE but the sidebar still doesn’t show. Can someone tell me what’s going on pls.

<!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> Normal 0 false false false MicrosoftInternetExplorer4 </xml><![endif]--><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml> </xml><![endif]--><!-- --><!--[if gte mso 10]> <mce:style><! /* Style Definitions */ table.MsoNormalTable {mso-style-name:"Table Normal"; mso-tstyle-rowband-size:0; mso-tstyle-colband-size:0; mso-style-noshow:yes; mso-style-parent:""; mso-padding-alt:0cm 5.4pt 0cm 5.4pt; mso-para-margin:0cm; mso-para-margin-bottom:.0001pt; mso-pagination:widow-orphan; font-size:10.0pt; font-family:"Times New Roman"; mso-ansi-language:#0400; mso-fareast-language:#0400; mso-bidi-language:#0400;} --> <!--[endif]-->

OK thanks

Ah! You see, you are cleverer than I am.

Seems that’s not too difficult.

OK thanks again!

I reset as you explained above, now I’m locked out altogether. I’m getting the following:

Warning: main(/home/rtscouk/public_html/wp-includes/compat.php) [function.main]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/rtscouk/public_html/wp-settings.php on line 207

I know it’s dangerous but having struggles with wordpress for 5 days solid, with one problem after another, I’m past caring.

Having used software in the past that is designed to be used, I have found WordPress a complete nightmare. It is billed as simple to use – and it probably is if you are a programmer. I am not, but I persevere.

I mean making all directories and files from the root down writable user, group, and world

Ahh but I got your attention! For which I am VERY grateful.

It appears you have solved the problem. There just is no substitute for knowledge.

Thank you very much!

Thanks I’m on my way

Thank you, but exactly how, pls.

I know how to ftp to the wp-admin directory, but how do I create a .htaccess file?

Sorry, my knowledge level is LOW

There’s nothing in it at present – I just installed it.

Having spent hours on it, I am now deperate for someone to help with a solution.

I go to the page write post. I start to write a post. All seems fine for a few minutes and then the front page appears to the right of the editor and the whole thing freezes up. Where am I going wrong?

I have followed the directions and also used fantastico to install it. It just keeps falling over!

Who or what is pw?
