Using the WP Importer plugin really is the only way when you’re coming from WP.com.

Have a look at this video. It should give you a clearer idea of how to use it. […]

Did you make sure hidden files are made visible? You may need to make WordPress generate it. You can do that by setting up Permalinks under Admin -> Settings -> Permalinks.

It should be in the base folder where WordPress is installed, however you may need to set your FTP browser to view hidden files.

The root folder I’m referring to us wherever your WordPress is installed (most of the files and folders start with ‘wp-’.) the .htaccess file is a special kind of text file that tells the server how WordPress […]

Cathryn, it sounds like your host may need to update those values for you. You can sometimes also update them yourself by adding lines to your .htaccess file in your root directory. See the following for more […]

Lori, I’m not a StudioPress expert, but i do know that you are not generally tied to StudioPress-only plugins. Provided the jQuery plugin you use is designed to use the built in jQuery library that comes with […]

The second one did spit out a […]

What browser are you using? The images rotate (dissolve) every few seconds for me.

It looks like the plugin automatically adds the script to the header, but you do need to add the php to your theme in the files where you want the slider to appear. Depending on your theme, and where you want it to appear, that might also be in header.php (for every page on your [...]

I really like their themes. They’re pretty customizable and their customer support is great.

Check your user profile page to see if the visual editor is disabled there.

Have you set up widgets on the theme, or is it using the default sidebar (no widgets set in the back end)

Just a reminder, this event is tonight. If you’re interested in going, RSVP’s are still being accepted.
