tierzero

hey when this all happened my blog went down and people could view the contents of my server….. so i had to change my main .htaccess file but now i need to change it back

RewriteEngine On
Options -Indexes
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*google.* [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*ask.* [OR]
RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} .*yahoo.* [OR]
….

i changed options to “options -indexes” and saved what it originall was to a .txt document but now i cant find it. does anyone know what “options” might have been set to originally?

i fixed it. i had somehow lost my .htaccess file so i coped it from thelaf.net/97/ changed all instanced of /97/ to /wp/ and it works now

just to test it out i added a random folder and an index.htm file to see whether that was accessible….

https://www.thelaf.net/wp/whatever/

and it works

i tried re-installing 2.7 and that didn’t help… should i roll back to the last version??? my blog has been down for a couple days now it’s really not a good look

i played with those naming structures to try to fix it but it didn’t work. i don’t think it has anything to do with dates because even a link like https://www.thelaf.net/wp/category/art/ doesn’t work either

thanks for the suggestion but that didn’t fix my problem.

any luck danielkwan?

how do i check which database it’s using? like if one is called tierzero_wp and one is called tierzero_new how can i check which one it’s trying to access??

i did a database check on both through cPanel and they seem fine

thanks! “line-height” was actually not specified at all under either L or R_SIDEBAR UL so I had to add it in….

You can also install a second instance of wordpress in its own folder on your server and mess with a new theme there. That’s what I’m currently doing.

(To do this you simply follow the wordpress installation instructions from the start..including creating a (second) SQL database for this purpose)

so this currently works to make the parent bold and child list normal:

/* parent*/
.widget li.cat-item{font-weight:700}
/* first children */
.widget li.cat-item .children li.cat-item{font-weight:400 !important}

but what would i replace this with to incorporate your “margin-left” code below:

/* first child list */
.widget li.cat-item .children{
margin-left: 0.8em
}

I tried just adding it to the style.css on top of the other stuff but that didn’t work.

is it possible to make the sidebar display something like this:

RECENT POSTS
————
ART (CATEGORY):
NEW POST 1
NEW POST 2

MUSIC (CATEGORY):
NEW POST 1
NEW POST 2

So basically instead of display all new posts from all categories under recent posts it shows them under their categories?

I have 6 or 7 seperate categories on my blog that I want to treat almost like seperate blogs, hence this question..

any help much appreciated.

this is a common problem…

this link might be helpful to you (even if your sidebar doesn’t drop down, following the 3 steps might work for you):

thanks but how do i incorporate both these features? I tried adding what you just showed me in addition to the original 2 lines but it did not work. I then tried to add “margin-left: 0.8em;” in there but that didn’t work either….

thanks for the quick responses so far and u can answer this simpleton question any time you want…take your time. i apologize for being so bad at css….

it worked, thank you!

is there anything i can add to this line below that you gave me, to make the child categories a bit more indented (pushed to the right?)…

.widget li.cat-item .children li.cat-item{font-weight:400 !important}

i’m guessing the answer to my problem can found in one of the 3 steps listed here: https://wpthemepark.com/2006/10/13/sidebar-drops-down.html

i’ll hopefully figure it out after an hour or 2 messing with it…

sorry to post such a redundant question

ok when I originally posted this I couldn’t even get the front page of my blog to display properly but by making a very obvious change it now displays fine HOWEVER, when I click any link to any of my posts it gives me this error:

Not Found
The requested URL /wp/2008/05/21/vancouver-rock-the-bells-cancelled/ was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
Apache/1.3.39 Server at tierzerodivision.com Port 80

I’m pretty sure this is still because of my .htaccess file being screwed up. What can I do to fix it?
