I have tried connecting word press.com in filezilla but it won’t connect. I think it’s because they have this new CSS upgrader and you need to pay for it. Is there any other way I could change my theme without having to pay for it?
that’s still paying.

You don’t connect to WordPress with FTP. You connect to your server that has it provided your hosting account allows use of FTP. Most free accounts do not allow FTP use.

Hi, just trying out a new site here and have run into some CSS issues. I’ve got YARPP running with TimThumb and a custom YARPP template, but I can’t seem to get all 6 thumbs to display in a neat block – if the first or second thumb has a title that is two lines or more it knocks the second line out, but if it’s the third one it doesn’t seem to be a problem…

Here’s the part of the stylesheet relating to the thumbs:

/* Related Posts */
ol.related-posts {clear:both; text-align:center; margin:3px 0px 0px 0px; padding:0;}
ol.related-posts li{width:150px; float:left; display:inline; margin-right:15px;; padding:0;}
ol.related-posts img{clear:both; padding:5px; background:#F7F7F7; border:1px solid #DDD;}
ol.related-posts a{clear:both; display:block; border:none; text-decoration:none;}
ol.related-posts li{font-size:10px;}

Here’s the custom thumb template

<h4 class="meta">Other things you might like:</h4>

<?php if ($related_query->have_posts()):?>

<ol class="related-posts">
<?php while ($related_query->have_posts()) : $related_query->the_post(); ?>

<li>
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark">

<?php $id =$post->ID;
$the_content =$wpdb->get_var("SELECT post_content FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE ID = $id");
$pattern = ‘!<img.*?src="(.*?)"!’;
preg_match_all($pattern, $the_content, $matches);
$firstimage_src = $matches['1'][0]; ?>

<?php if($firstimage_src != ”) : ?>

<img src="<?php echo bloginfo(‘template_url’); ?>/functions/timthumb.php?src=<?php echo $firstimage_src; ?>&w=100&h=100&zc=1&q=100"alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" />

<?php else : ?>

<img src="/wp-content/themes/magasin-uno/default-related-thumbnail.jpg" alt="<?php the_title(); ?>" />

<?php endif; ?>
<br>
<?php the_title(); ?> </a>

</li>

<?php endwhile; ?>
</ol>
<div class="clear"> </div>

<?php else: ?>

<p>No related posts found</p>

<?php endif; ?>

Any help greatly appreciated.

Have you removed the related posts stuff? I cant see it on your site.

In my dashboard when I click the appearance function, my themes show as blank squares with a little red "x" in the upper left corner. My tool bar does the same thing when logged in under wp admin. Spell check, etc. are all blank.

It would be nice to know whether this is .org or .com Wordpress site. Anyway the dreaded red X typically indicates a corrupted cache problem, ActiveX or Javascript problems. So clear your cache first. If you still have the problem > This could be caused by your Internet Explorer security settings being set too high, antivirus or firewall software can also block the images and the last thing is your Wordpress website is simply just hosed. Set your security settings to low in IE and make sure your firewall or antivirus software is not blocking your site images. Also if you have Firefox installed you can check your admin panel using Firefox. If everything still doesn’t look right at this point then right mouse click on the red X on one of your missing theme image pics and look at the path. Since this is occurring in both the themes area and your toolbar it is indicating that you have some sort a file path problem. Did you move anything recently? Did you rename any Wordpress folders recently? Did you change your style.css header info? If you can’t correct the path problem you are only left with trying to fix Wordpress from your SQL DB or lastly reinstalling Wordpress. Make a backup first, unless of course you have a Wordpress.com Freebie site then they back that up for you and you can request to have your freebie site restored from backup. Good luck.

Short? Long? Medium?

I have realllly thick puffy hair and I’m looking for a new style. I’m definitely going to ask the stylist to thin it out, but how should I get it cut?
I’m thinking about getting this hairstyle:

http://hissip.files.wordpress.com/2007/11/selena-gomez.jpg

But I don’t want it to make my hair look puffier! Please help! Thanks :]

Yes, I think that that hairstyle would be great for someone with thick hair. Make sure you show them the pic and specifically ask them to thin it out. Short layers make hair look more puffier, but they can also make hair appear thinner. But your best bet is to do definitely go with Selena’s hairstyle.

Hi,i want to know how to convert the yahoo answer homepage template to port it to wordpress cuz i will the homepage of wordpress like this one and after i done it will make some changes for not be the clone and i will make wordpress like yahoo answer functionally but that i know to do..i came here to ask it because when i take the source code from yahoo answer homepage or index how you want to call it and then i put that source code into the header or whenever file of wordpress template and when i type my site redirect me to mybookface thinking that an error,i am hosted in a free xtreemhost hosting.thank at all who know to answerat thiswill be great if i find a solution.

Simplest way is to capture the screen, bring it in photoshop and manipulate it.
Your work is based on Yahoo, but you manipulated it in your own way so, you are not violating Yahoo’s copyright.

I have a GoDaddy account set up with the hosting through Wordpress.
I want a flash theme and I have one that i found that i like. but its different than the wordpress templates, and wordpress doesnt recognize it.
Im a beginner at this, And I just wanted to know how to have my flash template instead of my wordpress blog?

You can do it if you’re using Wordpress the open-source hosted on your GoDaddy server. Don’t use the easy setup GoDaddy gives you.

I have designed my website in photoshop,but I do not know how to convert my psd file to wordpress
before i upload to the server.So any company can help me convert my psd file to wordpress?

Yes i do this for a living. www.ait-pro.com. I am PS designer, website designer, coder and Wordpress design and coding expert. Trying to explain exactly what steps you need to do to do this yourself would take a lot of time and still probably wouldn’t give you all the knowledge you need to do this, but i’ll take a stab at it.

Let me start out with the difference between an HTML website that you would design in Dreamweaver as opposed a Wordpress site design, which is PHP and therefore a dynamic platform using an SQL database. HTML website templates exist in real time and you can visually see everything and literally copy and paste graphics to the template in real time. PHP on the otherhand is primarily code and you will be creating source links and css source links that point to your graphic images. With PHP since it is dynamic the web pages are drawn (created) by pulling the web pages information that is stored in the SQL database, which is triggered by the PHP script in your PHP templates. I’m just giving you the basic principle here so that it may help you in seeing the what it will take to get static images into a dynamic website platform like Wordpress.

To make it simpler maybe this will help. Slicing in Photoshop (PS) is great for an HTML website design. You can literally import/export all your slices into Dreamweaver and you have an almost instant website. With PHP / Wordpress you will still need to "cut up" your design using either slices or just plain cropping. What you will be doing is cutting up your design images and then telling the PHP code and CSS code how and where to reassemble the images and web pages when the information is pulled from your SQL database. I hope i haven’t completely got you lost now. This should help you in conceptualizing the process of taking static images and using them in a dynamic website platform.

I would be more than happy to do this for you. I am very reasonably priced – actually too cheap

If I download a theme from, let’s say, http://topwpthemes.com/.
How do I get it onto my Wordpress?

Hi,

I am one of the theme contributors at topwpthemes.com so it will be no different from any other website, just:

- unzip
-the unzipped folder, upload it to wp-content/themes/.. directory in your FTP
- go to admin panel and activate the theme.

That’s all!
