Esmi – thanks!

Hi esmi,

Apologies for the confusion! My use of the word header was a general reference to the appearance of the top of the site. In that initial post I was describing that I’d changed the top of the site (header) via the style.css file, not through the header.php file … the actual change being what I described in my last post:

in style.css
#site-title {
float: left;
font-size: 0px;
line-height: 0px;
margin: 0 0 18px 0;
width: 700px;

in light of that, i am assuming that because the header.php file hasn’t changed, that I need to put that code (above) in the stylesheet – this has been done

You also need to to place your modified twentyten_posted_on() function in the child’s functions.php file – OK great, thanks, done

And copy the style.css changes over to the child’s stylesheet. (assuming this is related to the code above)

The final block of code appears to have come from content.php – so you’ll need a copy of that in the child too.
– the child theme does not have an existing content.php file
Do I create one?

many thanks for your patience esmi.

Hi esmi,

i didn’t change the header.php file though – do i still need to copy it? and i am assuming by that you mean via FTP…

these are my changes i made and where I made them:

in functions.php
function twentyten_posted_on() { }

in style.css
#site-title {
float: left;
font-size: 0px;
line-height: 0px;
margin: 0 0 18px 0;
width: 700px;

and finally I removed this: (but i don;t know now if it was from the style or the functions file … and also not sure why it didn’t remove the metadata from the bottom of the posts on the homepage which is all i really wanted to do.)

// Retrieves tag list of current post, separated by commas.
$tag_list = get_the_tag_list( ”, ‘, ‘ );
if ( $tag_list ) {
$posted_in = __( ‘This entry was posted in %1$s and tagged %2$s. Bookmark the permalink.’, ‘twentyten’ );
} elseif ( is_object_in_taxonomy( get_post_type(), ‘category’ ) ) {
$posted_in = __( ‘This entry was posted in %1$s. Bookmark the permalink.’, ‘twentyten’ );
} else {
$posted_in = __( ‘Bookmark the permalink.’, ‘twentyten’ );
}
// Prints the string, replacing the placeholders.
printf(
$posted_in,
get_the_category_list( ‘, ‘ ),
$tag_list,
get_permalink(),
the_title_attribute( ‘echo=0’ )
);

OK, thanks Esmi. how do I do that?

update:

found this advice from a previous string (below)and tried to fix but wp-config.php is already set to 644 and I cannot find a file called ‘update-links.php’ … perhaps this file is no longer used?

my host is iPage, i will be contacting them about it – AGAIN but if anyone has any ideas …. thanks!

this is an edited version of the conversation of the same issue two years ago:

WordPress ? Support ? How-To and Troubleshooting

[resolved] Warning: require_once wp.load

My site went from working to not working, literally overnight. I woke up in the morning and tried to log on to my dashboard, and received this error:

Warning: require_once(/home/alexjmann/alexjmann.com/wp-config.php) [function.require-once]: failed to open stream: Permission denied in /home/alexjmann/alexjmann.com/wp-load.php on line 27

Fatal error: require_once() [function.require]: Failed opening required ‘/home/alexjmann/alexjmann.com/wp-config.php’ (include_path=’.:/usr/local/php5/lib/php:/usr/local/lib/php’) in /home/alexjmann/alexjmann.com/wp-load.php on line 27

I’ve made major edits to the CSS, so I’d like to avoid replacing all of the files. Help would be appreciated.

…

If we are all on Dreamhost, it could be a problem with their apache settings or php library or how they run php as cgi…. I’m resolved. The issue was on Dreamhost’s end.

Dreamhost says: “Sorry for the trouble. The issue was One-Click related. A push out inadvertently changed the permissions on wp-config.php. Running chmod 644 wp-config.php will fix it. We’re aggressively working on correcting the issue now. Thanks for your patience.”

You can fix it yourself by changing the file permissions on wp-config.php to 644. But they’ll do it for you soon enough.
…

Change the line

require_once(‘../wp-load.php’);

to

require_once( ABSPATH . ‘wp-load.php’);

I have to change this line with each upgrade. My error shows up in the file update-links.php.

Bill your a savior! I couldn’t figure this out until i replaced that line like you suggested

maoski and psampaio i really appreciate the help. I think I need to start fresh, there is something else going on here as well as this back up, i think something has damaged a lot of files or something because every new version of WP locks me out with fatal error messages as soon as i add anything from a past version.

thanks!!

no:( i didn’t delete anything.

realized about an hour ago the database i was trying to upload into another database (it took me a while to realize this was silly) already existed. so.. i changed the details in the wp-config file to match the database I thought i was already uploading only to find that it didn’t change anything at all… weird.

i have since opened the sql file with text edit and found a lot of my content intact there so I don’t know if i should just try and cut and past that back into the new WP or keep trying to sort out the upload.

when i realized the database i was trying to upload already existed and tried to point the site to it (and found it to be not helpful) i deleted it, thinking i could re-create it using the backup but iPage won’t let me because it says it already exists.

any suggestions?

ummmm… there is one user for that database: wrdVK8X75jK and “set privileges” radio buttons are all set to yes.

i thought i was using phpmyadmin … i go from the control panel in iPage to MySQL beta and from there access phpmyadmin.. does that answer the question?
