  1. Rob is right. Changing the name will only work for so long. The search engines will catch up with me. I may be asking a lot by leaving everything so open and expecting to restrict access to one file, but I have to believe there's a way.
  2. I tried searching the forums but couldn't find exactly what I was looking for. I'm not sure if hotlink protection is the term I should be using, but here's what I want to do: file.wmv has been downloaded 1800 times from a site that is not mine. I would like to redirect people trying to download file.wmv to a specific page on my site where they can download it. At least that way there's a shot I will get traffic to other parts of my site. I don't want to turn on hotlink protection for the entire site or even the entire folder where file.wmv resides. I just want to redirect downloaders of that one file. Thanks in advance.

  4. With a little hacking up, Plans might do the trick. Thanks for the lead Bruce.
  5. I finally got around to taking a look at iCalendar and the web layout looks nice. Is there any kind of web-based admin interface available for inputting events? I don't need to synch desktop calendars with the web calendar, I need people to just be able to use the web calendar from any PC.

    Golive?

    Everything has pluses and minuses, depends what you want to do with it. I would suggest downloading the trial version from Adobe's website and trying it for yourself before making the investment.
  7. Thanks Robert. That answers my question.

  9. I wouldn't expect a missing stylesheet to muff it up, just trying to get rid of the obviously wrong stuff first. Took a look at the template and The Loop seems to be intact, so it looks like it should be working. I also used your template on one of my sites and my posts showed up. The style was messed up, but the posts were there anyway. If your husband looks in the actual MySQL tables, are the post bodies in there? I would figure if the page could pull the title, date, author and categories, it should be able to pull the post content as well. Unless it's just not there. And if it's not there, there's either a problem with your database connection (but one would expect that no information would make it, not just some) or the WP install itself. If you were able to post and then one day it literally stopped working on its own, it's probably WP, although I've been using it for some time and have found it to be stable if you take care of it. If you were able to post and then changed something, anything, like maybe permalinks or a plugin or a theme or even some small layout change, you should roll back those changes. I'd go back to Paul's original suggestion of using the default unedited theme, and disable all plugins while you're at it. Troubleshooting is a tad easier if we definitively know what it's supposed to look like. (p.s. - No other WP users out there? It's very lonely in this thread...)
  10. Specifically, the source for index.php (make sure it's the one in your theme directory, not the main WP directory).
  11. That looks like the source for the post page in the admin interface, and that is likely not the problem. I tracked down the theme you are using and your site looks mashed up a bit from the original, particularly on the individual post pages. I imagine that since the titles of the posts are displaying, just not the body, there is a problem in the loop that calls for the post body. If you can zip up your version of the theme and point me to it I can probably find the problem.
  12. Are the listed prices for dedicated server add-ons (RAM, hard drives, etc.) one-time or monthly fees?
  13. Did you make the theme yourself or download it from somewhere? Can you point me to the source? May or may not be relevant, but I wanted to check a few things.
  14. That's because your permalinks don't work.
  15. Does this mean he wrote an entry directly into the MySQL table? Would that be the "File This Under..." post that shows up? If you write a post in the Admin panel and publish it, do you get any errors? Can you go back and edit the entry from within the admin panel? If you can, then the problem would seem to be retrieving the data from the table, not inserting the data into the table. And since your post titles are making it, the post bodies probably are too. Is this an upgrade from a previous version of WP, or is this a fresh 2.0 install? And your permalinks most definitely don't work. Might want to check out Bruce's tutorial and get that fixed first.
  16. What's the question? The more specific you can be (error messages, what you've tried so far, your site's address, etc.) the better.
  17. Weird.
  18. Looks pretty nice at first glance. Will play around more and give you some feedback on your site.
  19. They finally got around to announcing it.
  20. Right. And there's even a warning to that effect in the config file. This is useful for those times when you find your stats haven't updated for a week, definitely not so you can check your stats every hour every day.
  21. If you go to your /tmp/awstats folder you can modify the awstats.your-domain.conf file to put an "Update Now" button at the top of your stats display. In the file, find the line AllowToUpdateStatsFromBrowser and set it to a value of 1. Now you can update the awstats whenever you want.
  22. I was reading it as somebody was actually sending mail from his account, not spoofing mail from his account. My bad.
  23. Probably want to open a help desk ticket.
  24. For anyone that's interested, we succeeded in getting marieb's footer to stick to the bottom of the window (when the content does not fill up the page) using the suggestions here. The problem with the examples is that they are fairly simple, and if you have multiple containers/sections/etc. it can get mucked up fairly easily. In the end it came out looking very nice in both IE and FF, and it was a great lesson.
  25. That opens up a whole other Frames vs. CSS argument, in which most people would say you shouldn't even be using frames. I was talking mostly about the validation thing (and I suppose bloated code in general). But if it works for you and you have to use frames, have at it.
