In reply to: I can't insert bold words in my captionAre you entering the strong tags in the Visible or the HTML editor of the post/page?
Also (just to eliminate the issue) the tags shouldn’t have any spaces, so:
<strong>
and then</strong>
.Maybe test with another html styling to see if that disappears also, for example
<span>
I’m sure I read a post a while back that you cannot format caption text with WordPress, whether that’s changed or not is anyone’s guess.

In reply to: Thumbnails missing in Internet ExplorerThere’s also another plugin called Thumnail Regenerator. I’ve used it a few times to regenerate all thumbnails and has sometimes fixed my issues.

In reply to: Website not showing up?.htaccess will be the problem. Try removing it altogether and see if it makes any difference (WordPress doesn’t come with one when you install it)
If not, remove all plugins and try again, if it works, add one plugin at a time to see which one is conflicting.

In reply to: Various methods tried, youtube is acting randomly on two blogsWordPress is a stable and excellent CMS platform and is certainly a lot quicker and functional than most other frameworks.
I think since the latest release, there a couple of forum threads saying the same thing, so i don’t think that it’s just you.
Have you tried ‘Add Media’ from the post page and adding in the Youtube url that way?
Good luck.

In reply to: Make changes to Horizontal HeaderThis will be done by either:
1. Using the WordPress menu Manager (i see you’re using WP 3.0.1)
So navigate to ‘Appearance’ –> ‘Menus’ and alter accordingly.2. If the theme doesn’t support WP3.0 menus, then the code you’ll need to alter will be in ‘header.php’.
Just so you know, PageNavi is normally located at the bottom of the page and acts as ‘1,2,3,4,5 … Last etc’ of pages.

In reply to: change url addressesHi Teresa,
‘Home’ is actually a post or page by the look of it.
To fix, go to WordPress admin:
‘Settings’ –> ‘Reading’
You’ll see ‘Front page displays’ and set this to ‘static page’. Then choose the page you called ‘Home’.
Save the settings. That should do it.

In reply to: Blog Title Showing Twice in Browser Title BarCould be the theme – I’ve had it before.
I removed the site name from wordpress general settings, and it sorted it for me.
Failing that, download ‘all in one seo’ plugin and customise the page titles manually.

In reply to: Transparent image has linesAll you need to do is remove the 2 border lines so that:
#brading img { clear: both; display: block; }
I just viewed your site and removing the border-top and border-bottom styles removed your logo borders.

In reply to: Various methods tried, youtube is acting randomly on two blogs2 things I would check:
1. Make sure when you paste the embed code into your post, that you are on the HTML view and not the ‘visual’.
failing that,
2. Use the ‘old embed code’ in Youtube.
You’ll see an option as soon as you click ’embed’. Then, your code should look like this:
<object width="425" height="349"><param name="movie" value="https://www.youtube.com/v/bgcvxAdWCn4?fs=1&hl=en_GB&rel=0"></param><param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"></param><param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"></param><embed src="https://www.youtube.com/v/bgcvxAdWCn4?fs=1&hl=en_GB&rel=0" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="349"></embed></object>
Again, make sure you’re on the html viewer in the ‘Add new post’ screen.
Hope this helps.

In reply to: switching wordpress site to new domain on same serverWhy don’t you simplify it:
On the old domain, make a backup of the files, authors and attachments by going to
admin –> tools –> export.You will then have option to save a data file. Save it.
Install clean fresh version of WordPress in new location and get it working. Once in new admin, navigate to:
admin –> tools –> importThis should bring all the data back into the new install.
FTP your theme files and any other non-Wordpress folders (eg images folder) and you should be set.
I’ve had a couple issues before migrating the site and sometimes it’s easier to do the above.

In reply to: Show postings & images on homepage of websiteYou’ll need some sort of resizer such as timthumb, or use custom fields to attach an image to a post.
Once you have custom fields set up, you can then call the image on the homepage to display next to the corresponding post content.
Not easy for a beginner, but definately ways to do it.

In reply to: How do I change the url of my blog?Hi Zeptuinune,
You’re at www.remarpro.com – for use when you host your own WordPress site.
WordPress.com is totally different. May i suggest you post the same question on those forums.
From what it sounds, you may need to export all data (if WordPress.com allows, located in admin –> tools.)
Start the new xxx.wordpress.com and import data back in (again, assuming WordPress.com allows).
I’ve never used WP.com so no idea what you can and can’t do compared the .org functionality.
Or failing that:
Divorce and get rid of the family? ??
