quesomanrulz.com – Hello again everyone, this video tutorial is about WordPress and how to install and use some of it’s basic features. Two ways of installing WordPress are covered, Fantastico and Manual. Fantastico is preferred by most people and me, it makes the process simpler. If you have access to Fantastico then you should definitely use that. http and 000webhost.com both have the Fantastico service available for their free users. I use http and would suggest that. Thanks to BlackJackEnt for suggesting this tutorial. byethost.com http wordpress.org twitter.com Visit quesomanrulz.co.cc for more!

WordPress Tutorial – Use a Text Widget to Customize Sidebar
LATEST TUTORIALS: mcbuzz.wordpress.com CODE FOR THIS TUTORIAL HERE mcbuzz.wordpress.com This Intermediate level WordPress tutorial shows how to use a text widget to customize a WordPress sidebar. To see the final product of the tutorial in the Business Blogging 101 website and the HTML code used in this example, go to mcbuzz.wordpress.com and search for “text widget”. Widgets are a very useful feature of most new WordPress themes. These are called “widget enabled” or “widgetized” themes or “widget enabled” or “widgetized” sidebars. They allow you to add custom content to your sidebars with little or no knowledge of HTML or other code. In an earlier tutorial, I showed how to add Flickr photos to a WordPress sidebar using the Flickr photo widget. The example I use in this tutorial shows how to create a custom text box with a short biographical note and part of that text is a link. In PART TWO of this tutorial, I show how to insert an image into the same custom sidebar box, along with a LinkedIn profile “badge”. You can use these techniques to put whatever you want into your own WordPress sidebar.
WordPress Tutorial – Edit a Sidebar File Using a Text Editor
This Advanced-level WordPress tutorial shows how to download, edit and upload a WordPress theme sidebar file (sidebar.php) using FTP software and a text editor. This is considered an advanced WordPress tutorial because you work with the files for the WordPress theme. You do not use the WordPress Dashboard in this tutorial. The tutorial assumes you know how to setup and use FTP software on your computer so that you can download and upload the sidebar file. It also assumes you know how to open a text file like sidebar.php using a text editor. On a PC, common text editors are Notepad and Wordpad. On a Mac, the default text editor is TextEdit. A good Macintosh text editor for HTML and PHP files is BBEdit.
WordPress plugins MISSING (old theme NOT working) Help?
Recently I (accidentally) deleted the theme I was currently using in my ftp client.
I re-uploaded the same theme (sans the few modifications I had made previously) to my ftp client under "/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/themes" like normal, but when I go into my wordpress admin panel, ALL of my plugins are GONE.
And when I activate my theme, nothing shows up but the theme alone. No posts, no nothing. I just get this error message in the sidebar:
"Fatal error: Call to undefined function get_useronline() in /home/meredith/public_html/wordpress/wp-content/themes/Minimalistic/sidebar.php on line 8"
And frankly, I don’t understand what it means.
So I did a restore with a back-up I had downloaded earlier that day, but still nothing is right again.
I tried downloading and uploading my old plugins to my ftp, but when I go to my admin panel, they still don’t show up. I’ve tried uploading them directly to my wordpress admin panel and there’s still nothing.
I just want to know how to fix my old plugins and maybe get my old them back.
Anyone know what I’m doing wrong?
Thanks.
