Site works fine from here too.

David, what are the implications of having the directory be owned by "nobody"?

Hmm... I'm not a MT user, but I found this code interesting: when you view the source of the links in your comments, this is what you get: ><a target="_blank" title="http://www.aftertastebliss.com" href="http://www.eatitandloveit.com/cgi-bin/mt/mt-comments.cgi?__mode=red;id=81">Julie</a> So, in the status bar it shows the site the user entered, aftertastebliss.com. But when you click the link, it is actually trying to run some script in your CGI bin. I don't know why this is. Again, I've never used MT. But I thought this might help somebody else diagnose the problem. Good luck...

Thanks, Don. I'll check it out.

Thanks, Raul Looks like an interesting book, but maybe too advanced for a beginner. Any suggestions on a book that is an introduction to PHP?

Did Don's suggestion work for you? Did it do what you wanted? Let us know if we can help any more!

Hmmm... Your data seems okay, except that it seems to be missing any comments. So you have this data file that seems to be okay (except it is sans comments); what is the exact filename? What directory is it in (in relation to your WordPress installation)?

Yes, I would suggest following the steps in the tutorial that Bruce suggested. One thing to remember, when you copy and paste the code into the Blogger template, that line has to be one long line, with no breaks. If there are breaks in that line, it won't work correctly. Next, when you are publishing it using Blogger's publish button, what happens? Does it get to 100%? Can you find the files on your TCH server? Where are they located? What is in the files?

I'm going off memory here, but I'm wondering if you exported your files from Blogger in the correct format. Maybe you could post the template you used in blogger to export your posts. I'm also wondering if there would be help in the WordPress support forum: http://wordpress.org/support/ Maybe there is somebody there who has more experience with Blogger imports. If, however, they are the ones who resolve this question, you should still post your response over here, so that TCH family members can benefit in the future from what you learn as you fix this. So, if you can, post the template you are using for your blogger exports.

Sorry that nobody has come forward with a suggestion here. Have you tried asking your question in the WordPress forums? They have been very helpful in the past when I've needed help with some WP-specific issues. http://wordpress.org/support/

Silly me! Sorry about that! Um, welcome to both of you!?!

Welcome Kaarthik to the forums and welcome to the TCH family!

Welcome Kevin (or Karim, as some are calling you)! Glad to have you in the family. Hope you are as fast at the level 1 support as so many of your coworkers!!

Hi Jacques, Is it safe to assume that when your error message says "cpanelname" that you actually are using your cPanel login name? For example, if your cPanel login name is abcxyz and your subfolder is named 'blog' then you should really using the following path: /home/abcxyz/public_html/blog I'm just checking, because sometimes users forget that they have to customize the cPanel name. You probably didn't have this problem, but it never hurts to check...

Oh, and welcome to the forums!! (Sorry... I missed that!)

I tried to edit my themes using the built-in theme editor, and I was never happy with the result. I found it easier to use the "edit file" link in the cPanel File Manager to edit the theme files. Plus, you run a security risk, allowing all your theme files to be writable. Somebody with bad intent could totally hijack your site. So it is much safer to update in cPanel (or to even download, edit, then upload your files). That's my 2cents, which is seemingly worth less and less (especially at the gas pump!)

What kinds of errors are you getting? When you say that it is a "no go", what happens to tell you that it didn't work. In order for us to be much more help, we're going to need to localize the problem. We don't do so well with general "it doesn't work" kinds of problems. We are much better at solving, "I get this specific error: <error message>" kinds of problems. So let us know exactly what you tried, and what error message you got, and we'll see if we can't figure out where you might have gone wrong. Good luck!!

Is there a chance that it is a browser caching issue? Maybe you could check your coppermine page with a different browser, or try clearing your cache to see if changes are being made. I don't know, but clearning the cache wouldn't hurt! good luck!

The short answer is that they don't want to encourage spamming, and they don't want potential spammers to open accounts at TCH. If they publish exactly what is allowed, it might encourage abuse of the system. Paying customers can open a help desk ticket to find out. Non paying customers should look elsewhere if they are wanting to set up an account to send spam from.

I did a search on "javascript image slideshow" and I saw a variety of scripts that might help get you started. If you find something that you like there, then may I suggest that you try modifying that script for your site, and then when you encouter problems, you can post a question in the Scripting Talk forum. Somebody there is sure to be able to help you work out the errors in your script. (Somebody whose javaScript skills are less rusty than mine! ) Best wishes,

I went to "thegrinder.ws" (nice theme, by the way), and all the links I clicked on worked fine. I didn't have any trouble being directed to any .html pages. I tried firefox and IE. Have you tried using a different computer or clearing your cache?

Well, I don't think it is going to be possible with the out-of-box stuff in Dreamweaver. You could use javaScript to accomplish what you are trying to do, but I don't know that there is a javaScript pre-built that is going to do that for you. It would work best if your images were numbered sequentially. Then you would load the first image as full-sized, and you would set a variable that said which image number you were retrieving. Then you would define a function on the next and previous buttons that would increase the variable by one (or decrease the variable by one), and you would use the variable in the filename for the image called by the next and previous button functions. You would have to set a maximum number to your variable (equal to the number of pictures you have) so that you can create a loop. You would probably do this by having your add/subtract function check to see what the current variable is. For the add function, if the variable is < the total number of images, then you should add one. If the variable is = the total number of images, then you would reset the variable to 1. The subtract function would be the opposite. My javaScript skills are a bit rusty, but this should give you an overview of what you are trying to accomplish. I think it should be pretty simple, in terms of javaScript complexity.

I bet that Bruce's suggestion will work. When you extract the file, you have to edit the wp-config-sample.php file, and save it as wp-config.php. This will require that you create your database first, and then enter your database information in the wp-config.php file. The instructions that TCH Thomas pointed you to should help with that, but come back if you still have questions.
