Sorry, I was talking about Linux servers, is it better to use Linux technology than windows?

Hi Alex, thank you for this precision. Can you precise what auto upgrade you talk about? WordPress or the gallery plugin?
In any case, are there upgrade that are not validated by website owner?

All right, thanks to another post, I found my own solution.
Place the magerotator.swf file in wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/ folder
Then change path in slideshow options for

https://www.yourwebsite.com/wp-content/plugins/nextgen-gallery/imagerotator.swf

Works fine for me.

I have same problem, I found the path when I installed the website locally on my computer, now it is online, I changed path but WordPress Cannot find the imagerotator.swf file.
What’s wrong here ?

ok, I found it, I used a parent page for both language versions so that I can change menu+content depending on the parent_ID we are on the page.

I forgot to say I want to have a unique administration panel.

Hi wpsec, and thank you very very much for this huge good security content.

I have 2 versions of my website: one local on which I am experimenting all new changes and another one hosted by an online provider.

So for now, I am only trying things on my local website (using xampp), waiting for the moment when all security will be fixed on this version to do it online. I have another issue: using new permalink structure.

Concerning the databases prefix, I managed to change that by doing this (again, I am using xampp+my local website is only made for local testing:

step a) Finding the “httpd.conf” file under the “conf” folder inside the Apache’s installation folder.

step b) Find the following line “#LoadModule rewrite_module modules/mod_rewrite.so” in the “httpd.conf” file.

step c) Remove the “#” at the starting of the line, “#” represents that line is commented.

I succeeded change the db prefix, but is it a secure way to do this? Must I disable rewrite mode after?
+
I do not succeed changing the write access of my local files… I understand I have to connect with ftp on my server, as if it was a “distant website”… Must I define a username+password to access this local website? oups sorry, I am a bit lost here…

my website is local & mod_rewrite is enabled on my apache :
https://roshanbh.com.np/2008/04/check-enable-mod_rewrite-apache.html

to be clear one more time, as said in my first post, my website pages are category pages,

my urls are like:
https://www.dns.com/?cat=6.

I need to replace those type of links with something like:
https://www.dns.com/category_name1

Thanks for helping

Concerning the permalink issue, I still don’t get it, sorry…

I understood I need to have a .htaccess on the root :
I have one (once again, I am using wordpress for a website which is hosted locally with xampp, I am working with dreamwaver). Here is the content of this file :

‘
# BEGIN WordPress
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /wordpress/
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /wordpress/index.php [L]
</IfModule>

# END WordPress’

I am trying to change the permalinks structure for something like : /%year%/%postname%/%post_id%/
or /%category%

but that results with error pages on my website :
https://localhost/wordpress/category/portfolio/

I do not understand what is wrong, “category” should not be there I guess.
That is a bit frustrating…

Sorry, I mixed everything a little. I had another issue with .htaccess using the security plugin, this file was missing in the wp-admin folder. I managed to create a blank notepad document, added it in the wp-admin folder and was able to change database prefix, that was my other problem.

Thanks for feed back iridiax.
I have already read that too ?? But security plugin says : “The file .htaccess does not exist in wp-admin/”, that is why I do not get it :

1) do I also need to add a .htaccess in the root folder ? (website address)

2) can I add empty files? will they be automatically written?

One more info : I have one local version of my website on my computer (using xampp) + another version hosted with godaddy.

Hi iridax, I have read this but I do not see the .htaccess file appear : ‘if this file is missing, WordPress will try to create it when you activate “pretty” permalinks’
Where should it appear?
Thank you

Hi ronchicago, thanks for the feed back.
I do not know where to start with this .htaccess, my security plugin tells me there is no .htaccess in the wp-admin/.
As a start, can you tell me how many .htaccess should be on my wordpress website, on which folders (I am using 2.6 with default template)?
+
Sorry but I do not get what is this new .htaccess code that should appear..
Thanks a lot.

thank you once more to take some more time with me mrmist, can you be more explicit please? :-S sorry, do I have to add or change a line in this file, or to change something in my databases ?
