When I take a look at your site, I can see what you mean. Firefox looks right and IE places a giant white space in the middle of your page. IE and FF unfortunately interpret CSS differently sometimes. Taking a look at the source code, I see this-

<div class="post_info">
<h2><a href="https://www.clickthismarketing.com/%/postname/%" rel="bookmark" title="Small Business Marketing & Advertising In Orange County">Small Business Marketing & Advertising In Orange County</a></h2>
<span class="author"></span>
<span class="category"> </div>

What you have here is an empty span named ‘author’, which is open and closed. Then we have a span named ‘category’, which is open, but not closed until later. FF is a little better an interpreting this and filling in the close. IE however is not. It is instead placing the next pieces of code outside a general area for where this category span is. See if you can add a </span> close tag in there. Good luck.

You’ll want to edit the file located at /home/bubble/public_html/jonathanbest/wp-content/themes/My_Guitar/header.php. In this file, look for the search function and comment it out. Be sure to save a copy of the file elsewhere in case things go haywire. Good luck.

If you look in the wp-comments-post.php in the WordPress root, Line 15 says-

die( __('Sorry, comments are closed for this item.') );

I believe this is what you are looking for. Good luck.

There is a Folding Category Tree Widget that allows for a sidebar that collapse and expands to show what the site has-

Take a look. There are a couple different ways to use. Find whichever way suits your purpose. Good luck.

Hello,

You’ll need to make some modifications in the actual code and probably manipulate the CSS so it looks right. Try following this example-

Good luck.

The first thing you’ll want to do is install IIS if you haven’t already-

• https://www.petri.co.il/install_iis_on_windows_xp.htm

Next, install PHP-

• https://www.iis.net/php

Lastly, you’ll need MySQL-

• https://dev.mysql.com/downloads/mysql/5.1.html#win32

Then follow WordPress’ setup instructions for creating an empty database with user and updating the wp-config.php. Good luck.

Create a file in your webroot called ‘phpinfo.php’ with nothing but this line in it-

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Then open this file in your browser. This will show you PHP and all its glory. In this case, it looks like PHP isn’t installed on the server, so it is parsing it as plain text. If you don’t see a PHP Info page, contact your server administrator. Good luck.

At first, there is no wp-config.php. This is how WordPress knows it is a new installation. You can copy the wp-config-sample.php file that’s in with any installation. Open it in any text editor and you can manually edit he first couple lines-

// ** MySQL settings ** //
define('DB_NAME', 'dbname');    // The name of the database
define('DB_USER', 'username');     // Your MySQL username
define('DB_PASSWORD', 'password'); // ...and password
define('DB_HOST', 'mysql.server.com');

…and you’ll be ready to go. Good luck.

Blogvis.com offers free WordPress blogs. In order to add a new theme, you will need FTP access or the host will have to do it for you-

Looking at blogvis.com’s homepage, they say they do upload themes by user request. That seems like it’ll satisfy your requirements. Thanks.

Create a file in your webroot called ‘phpinfo.php’ with nothing but this line in it-

<?php phpinfo(); ?>

Then open this file in your browser. This will show you PHP and all its glory. Search for MySQL extension. You will probably not find it. Contact your host for a plan that will have the MySQL extension installed. Have fun!

Hi,

I did a quick telnet on https://ftp.d1082305.dotsterhost.com at port 21. This is an FTP server (as most servers are on port 21). You’ll want to contact Doster and get the correct server information. MySQL database servers usually run on 3306. Good luck.

You can host the website and blog off any folder on any drive. If you want to keep your main site at C:\Inetpub, you can add a virtual directory that points to the blog folder off the D:\ drive or wherever. Follow these instructions-

Good luck.

If your host can grab a backup of the MySQL database, you can restore that over the database of an empty blog. Log into the new database and update the ‘site_url’ in the ‘wp_options’ table if your URL has changed. This should do it.

You will have to have database access. In the wp_options table, change the site_url and value back to the original URL. Good luck!

Looking into the WordPress code, I do not see any limits that are built in. The only limit you might run into is a limit of the number of the database size, simultaneous connections or something like that.
