Woooooooo! MAGIC! hahaha

Thanks so much, worked like a charm!

Out of curiosity (and to prevent me asking in the future here) when do you use #primary? Is it like the first instance of that kind of information or something?

Thanks again!

Hi Esmi!

When I place it in different places, it affects the CSS differently – sometimes adding in bullets to the sidebar items, sometimes changing the colors of different links (number of comments, randomly) that don’t seem to be related to the position in the CSS.

I just tried it at the bottom of the CSS file as you recommended and cleared my cache, and in that position it doesn’t seem to do anything.

I’ve left it there, and as you can see it didn’t change that link.

Any other ideas would be super-appreciated!

Thanks, esmi! That didn’t seem to work – I added that in verbatim on it’s own line in a few places in the css and it didn’t do the trick. Maybe I’m not putting it in the right place?

Wait! Scratch that last post. ??

I downloaded an html editor (about time, I know) – and was able to correct it by ftping to the problem.

AND YOUR SOLUTION WORKED! Thanks soooo much. I would have never ever thought of special characters. Yay! I really appreciate the help!

Hey! thanks for the input! Unfortunately it seems to have broken it, haha.

I removed the special characters lines you suggested and instantly got this error message: Parse error: syntax error, unexpected ‘)’ in /homepages/24/d281236462/htdocs/www.fightthefools.com/wp-content/themes/barthelme/functions.php on line 667

So I copied and pasted the original functions.php back, and I’m still getting that message now.

I just use text edit (on a mac) to edit my HTML, so I can’t count down 667 lines to see where the issue is – any ideas? Yikes! Site is officially gone now and I’d hate to have to redo all the other customization I did so far…

This is the css btw. Any ideas would be great.

Hey, just wanted to let anyone know that might have similar troubles – I fixed the issue.

I had had to add “AddType x-mapp-php5 .php” to my htaccess file a while ago – but apparently I didn’t need it anymore. I removed it and my Genki comments now work just fine. So if they stop working for you, check out your htaccess file and that might do the trick easily for you.

Argh – stopped working again. The site is at https://www.theresident.net

I am using WordPress 2.9.2 – is anyone else using this plugin successfully with this version?

Yeah, I switched themes earlier today, and I uninstalled all my plugins…been cracking at it for like 10 hours now – it is definitely something in the theme files. Argh!

I guess I’ll have to just find another theme – I just don’t want it to end up being the same issue – no way to tell really until I plunk down the money.

Thanks again for all the input!

Hi – why was the code I placed up there removed???

Good to know! This is what the theme’s functions.php looks like, anything stand right out?:

[code removed]

Thanks! Yeah, the irony is that the one I’m using is listed there, haha. I wish I could just find where the bad code is and get rid of it…but I guess it’s not that simple or easy, is it?

Thanks Sam! Yeah, I asked them over there – no reply as of yet. ??

So frustrating. I wish there was a comparable video theme out there that I could just use instead, but I can’t find another good one to use.

Yeah, this is the one from the joomla folder. That’s bizarre – somehow they got combined.

There has to be somehow to just insert “share” on the URLs…

So now I have an .htaccess at my root that only has the WordPress info in it, and this is what my .htaccess file in my joomla (share) folder looks like:

This is what the .htaccess looks like – any ideas where a “share” might go?
