I am an idiot. Apparently I had wp_footer() commented out in my custom theme. Whoops! That’s what I get for working on this at 2:00 AM…
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Installed successfully; home page still redirects to install.phpThanks for the link. I’m not entirely sure what was going on. Firefox on the machine I was using (MacBook running OS X 10.6) refused to load the site, even after flushing my cache and cookies. Other browsers worked, and Firefox on my Win7 machine is working fine. I guess it must be something related to a session or something in that installation of Firefox.
Thanks again!
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Facebook] [Plugin: Facebook] Plugin unusably slow; locks up dashboardOkay, I installed everything required for cURL for Apache and PHP, and I think that fixed it.
That said, there really needs to be a large notice on the main plugin page that cURL is required for this to work. Not everyone is going to have that or know what it is or what to do.
In Ubuntu:
sudo apt-get install curl libcurl3 libcurl3-dev php5-curl

This appears to be an exploit with VNC. Disable Apple Remote Desktop in OS X (or VNC in Linux or Windows).

In reply to: How To Associate a Post To a Particular PageThat’s what you should use categories and tags for, since those will allow you to click the tag or category and see other pages with that same tag or category.

In reply to: WordPress can be remotely upgraded by non-authenticated user ?I don’t think upgrade.php exists until you replace the entire wp-admin directory with whatever the latest version is. Running upgrade.php just takes care of background stuff to upgrade to the latest version. I don’t think it accesses anything remotely, and once the site is upgraded, it can’t be run again. I’m guessing that’s why it’s considered low risk.

In reply to: How To Associate a Post To a Particular PageDo you mean giving each post is own page, or permalink? Your template will likely already have that – usually when you click the title of a post, that will take you to the post’s individual page.
You just need to enable comments in your WP management interface. If you’re running 2.7, it’s under the “Settings” module – the link is titled “Discussion”.

In reply to: Re-Order Main MenuCategories are automatically ordered alphabetically.
You might be able to write a PHP script that would reorder the output, but it might be easier to just manually code your menu with your categories (if you don’t plan on adding more).

In reply to: I use wordpress 2.0.4You would be better off fixing your RSS problems in 2.7.
There have been significant security, performance, bug, etc. patches and updates since 2.0.4 – you shouldn’t keep using it, if you can.

In reply to: Wrong Place for This QuestionThose are trackbacks from other blogs that have linked to yours.
Sometimes it’s spam (click the trackback link to see who blogged about you), but much of the time, it means that others are reading your blog, like what they see, and what to comment on it – it’s a good thing!

In reply to: Lost Admin UsernameGoogle “phpMyAdmin” to learn about it. I know that you’re new to all this and don’t know left from right when it comes to programming, but the only way you’re going to learn is to take a little initiative and research stuff on your own. There is an enormous amount of information on the Internet on things like “what’s phpMyAdmin” and “how do I reset my WordPress password”.
It is a web interface for managing MySQL databases, providing a graphical front-end to work with your data.
Once you can get into phpMyAdmin, you will be able to follow the instructions to view the table of users, where you will be able to directly see all the usernames registered with your WordPress installation. You should then be able to determine the username you’re looking for.
You may be missing the necessary code in your single.php file for this template. Check and make sure the code is the same between single.php and index.php for the part that includes your site navigation.
But, beyond that, you really should never use JavaScript (or Flash, for that matter) to create something as critical as site navigation. You can never be guaranteed that your end user has JS enabled, has a JS-compatible browser, and JavaScript doesn’t always behave the same way in every browser, since it’s browser-dependent.
If you desperately need drop-down menus, check out Suckerfish Dropdowns (Google it) and use that method, which does not rely on JavaScript in every browser except IE.

In reply to: Lost Admin UsernameIf you’re with GoDaddy, there should be a URL they gave you to access your MySQL databases from phpMyAdmin. I can’t remember off the top of my head what the URL should look like, but if you can’t find the link in your GoDaddy account (e.g. log in to their website and see what you can find), call or email them for the information.

In reply to: How can I add a CSS class to Sociable linksYour source looks a little off. You don’t need double quotes between each class. Multiple classes should all go in the same pair of double quotes, separated by spaces:
$html .= "\n<div class=\"sociable snap_nopreview\">\n";
Try that and see if it works for you.
