In reply to: Multiple issues with Media GalleryThanks twistedsymphony,
You comment:
From the dashboard goto Settings->Miscellaneousthen uncheck the box that says “Crop thumbnail to exact dimensions (normally thumbnails are proportional)”
Removed some frustration with v2.5 and takes me one step further to going live with it.

In reply to: Remove Meta Links from the Sidebar?They might either remember or bookmark wp-login.php which will bring up their login details.

In reply to: Remove Meta Links from the Sidebar?Login to your admin section and go to Presentation / Theme Editor. Choose sidebar from the list on the right hand side and then do a search (CTRL F) for meta.
This will provide the code to hack and add/remove/edit entries under Meta.

In reply to: Creating a link back to the first pageIf you haven’t changed themes, the text in the header of your site will link back to the start of the blog.
Otherwise you can just put a link in your sidebar:
< a href=”https://www.domainname.com/blog_address/”>Home</ a>
(Just remove the spaces before the “a” in the tags.)
Hope this helps

In reply to: accessing admin panelJust had a quick look and found where your login should be:
https://www.highway-girl.net/wordpress/wordpress/wp-login.php
Not sure why you have two wordpres directories, but this may lead to the problem.
At least you should be able to login now.

In reply to: Fatal error when loading homepageI understand your pain! Often the simplest solution is to look at where the ftp is pointing…
I’ve since introduced the way you’ve done the index to one of my sites – removing the html file workaround with the meta refresh.
Thanks

In reply to: How do I reinstall content/theme 755 which I deleted?Have you gone back to the admin and selected another theme after uploading one?
As far and I know Bluehost have heaps of WPs running – I have a few running there as well and haven’t had any trouble.
Make sure that you are uploading themes to the correct location blog/wp-content/themes/ and then login to the WP admin, go to Presentation and you should see thumbnails of themes to choose from.
If you cannot login to admin or cannot see themes after uploading and checking that you have uploaded in the right spot, maybe use Fantastico to remove and then add a new version of WordPress for you and start again.

In reply to: Fatal error when loading homepageThere is no .htaccess in the WordPress root by default.
A quick workaround is to remove the index file that you created in your domain root and replace the original in the blog directory, then use the following index file to redirect to your blog (uploaded in your root):
<HTML> <HEAD> <meta http-equiv="refresh" content="0;url=https://www.yourdomain.com/blog_address"> </HEAD> <BODY> <p>connecting...</p> </BODY> </HTML>Rob

In reply to: Download file linkCreate a post and in the visual editor, use the link button. This will pop up a window with the link info.
Paste the link https://www.mysite.com/blog/videos/myvideo.mov into the window and close.
The link is now in your post. You might like to advise, “right click to save” or similar. It will depend on the plugins installed on the visitors’ browser as to the action from just clicking the link – some will prompt for “save as” and others will launch a player.
