Thanks, that seems to have done the trick.

Guess I need to study on that some more to figure out why that works, and why any of the other solutions I tried did not work.

Thank you! That worked great for the home page. It didn’t seem to do anything for single post or pages.

I tried:
h1.entry-title { position:relative; top:30px; left:10px; }
but that didn’t do anything. Now I’m not sure what to change to make it work on pages.

I can’t figure out why I’m having so much trouble with this theme; I’ve modified many themes in the past with no problem, but I can’t seem to figure out what is going on in this theme.

Is this even possible in WordPress? Their old design had this effect, but it was made with Frontpage. I’m trying to convince them to go with a cleaner, lighter site with valid code. I’m hoping I can accomplish this with css, but so far I’ve tried at least 50 different solutions I have found via Google and nothing works.

If this isn’t possible, I need to let them know so they can go back to their Frontpage guy.

For whatever reason, Dr Throckmorton tried changing the title by 1 character and the post now appears correctly. not sure why changing punctuation made that big of a difference or why it stripped the style in the first place, but it is working now.

We have tried using several different themes, including the default theme, all with the same result. We have tried turning off all plugins, but still no joy. Although, if it were a theme or plugin issue, it seems as though it would affect more than just one particular post.

I honestly do not know what to try next or where to look. We have been hammering at this for almost 6 hours, since it was first reported to him.

having the same problem. I’ve tried uploading complete new install four times now and get nothing but blank screen. Have tried 3 different downloads from WordPress of 2.7 with same result. Tried deleting theme files from WP Content in case it was an incompatible theme but still same result. It looks like 2.7 is not ready for prime time. Thank goodness for backups!

I guess the main thing I need help with is how to style the wp_list_bookmarks tag so that it will use h3 instead of h2 for each category. I tried a couple of things that I hoped I understood from the codex, but whatever I did broke the page completely, so I have restored it back to what it was.

Can anyone offer any help on what to do with the wp_list_bookmarks tag to accomplish this?

I did that once (and only once) back when I was first starting to run WordPress sites. I was able to contact my Hosting company and they did a ‘restore’ on my site, restoring it to what they had as their latest backup (24 hours earlier). Once they did that, the wp-config file was there, and I did my own backup, and then upgraded once again, this time making sure I didn’t delete that file.

So you might want to contact your host as soon as possible, before they have a backup of your site without the wp-config file.

Has anyone ever figured out how to get this working again? I’ve tried several different fixes mentioned in various threads and nothing works.

I’ve tried this on 15 of the sites I manage, and tried it with over 40 different themes, and none of them work.

So wondering if there is a fix, or is this terminally obsolete now. Is there an alternative plugin option that does work?

Thanks.

I use ftp to chmod folders and files, so that part I get. I had the wp-includes folder at 755 and the files within it set to 644 and with those settings the sites were still hacked. So I’m trying to figure out what level they should be set?

One of our sites is having this same problem; once we upgraded to 2.3 we stopped getting email notifications.

Don’t know if you ever found an answer but on line 684 of the widgets.php file, change it to wp_list_pages("depth=1&sort_column=menu_order&title_li=");

I’m trying to figure out how to add a home link to the pages widget and while searching for an answer came across your question…

I did just find out that if I send a message in plain text, the whole message will post. If it is sent in rich text or has a photo attached, only the title posts.

So this still doesn’t seem exactly correct as I was thinking we were supposed to be able to add photos via this method.

You need to use either your ftp client or cpanel and change the permissions (file attributes) on that file to 766. By default I believe the permissions are set to 644.
