Hello mate. i must keep commending your effort in helping us here.. please dont know if you can help me on this, i just bought two more domains and i want to make a new wordpress installation for the two of them but on the same host, and the host has one domain already each time i try to install wordpress on the new domain name i get Installation cannot proceed because the following files already exist in the target folder :

• .htaccess

Please delete these files or choose another folder.OR
Select the checkbox to overwrite all files and continue

please how do i solve this problem..point of note when i add a directory to the domain when installing the site url becomes ugly(www.mysite.com/newdirectory instead of www.mysite.com). my main problem is how the get the /newdirectory out of the domain name..Thanks once more in advance

If you are using CPanel, first you have to add your domain in Addon domains. It will then create directory for you where you can install your WordPress.

I'd like to see a nice, simple and informative tutorial on how to actually code a Wordpress theme. I've been a web designer for 8+ years and am sure I could contribute a great theme or two to the community...if only I had the right guide to follow on getting it into Wordpress haha.

Hey, yes, I agree that would be great.

As soon as I find time to actually do that right, I will, promise!

Hey, what do you get when you point browser to your domain?

Hi, The browser just fails to load up. Error 101.

I have tried now publishing with Xsite pro and still the same problem.
I can't see what I need to do to make these domains go "live".

Really frustrating now because I'm going to need to hire some for an hour,
and it must be stupidly easy and I'm just blind to it.

Hmm sorry but I have no idea, tried googling but found nothin useful. I am not familiar with this as it is not strictly WordPress related, it is more related to your os and server installation.

Good luck.

I have been running into trouble when updating or adding new plug ins. Once I activate a new plug in my backend disappears. I am able to log in, but when I try to acccess the dashboard it is a blank screen. The website is still live, any reason why this occurs?

Try reinstalling WordPress. Also, try increasing WordPress memory limit to 128mb

 

[mallett]

If I reinstall wordpress won't I lose everything? How do I increase the limit?

You will lose nothing if you just replace WordPress files except wp-config.php.

For limit, open wp-config file and look for define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M');

If it says different, just change to 128 and save.

I am trying to find a Insurance quote request form plugin that I can install on my website to sell the leads to an affiliate, I would ideally like to take a plugin right from the affiliate and have the leads go directly to them. Is there a free insurance quote form plugin I can get or an affiliate program anyone knows of? Any help would be much appreciated

 

[bosmolskate]

I could not find the line of code: define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '128M');

Removing the plug in via FTP resolved the issue

Hello,

Great advice you have here. I (in recent months) seem to be only getting Google image refs - all posts are unique (over 100) but can't figure why this would be - any ideas why I'm not appearing in organic search?

Hi EXE. I'm looking for the full version of the 'famous' theme for free haha. Do you or any other of the chaps here have a copy? Most grateful for your time

Great, just post a question about WP, I copy it here:

​Hi, I own a wordpress site where I publish videos, articles, webcammers profiles, dating profiles, reviews and sexyshop articles, I setup different post templates for each category to make it working and showing ads strictly related to post content, it works fine however I'm looking for a little more optimization on homepage as now all thumbs are shown by wp default (the last the 1st), so this is my question:

is there a way to group post thumbs by category on homepage by setting up some php code in loop?
this is an example of what I like to get on homepage:
New videos
video 1 - video 2 - video 3 - video 4

New webcammers
cammer 1 - cammer 2 - cammer 2

Sexyshop news:
product 1 - product 2

i work with press75 video elements theme, if it can help, a tube style theme

thanks.

Also I have another one:
How to redirect to another domain when there is a database connection error?

Thankz.

I don't know about speicific form you require, but I believe you can build that using free plugin Contact Form 7, or if you require more functionalities, go with Gravity Forms.

Yeah, sometimes it's an issue with single plugin, but author of the post stated that he get's error when installing any plugin, that's why I suggested memory limit increase.
