Hi Mark,

I was trying to insert a URL for an icon/logo to go to the left of my simplyliving101.com title on my WordPress blog and I messed up the system somehow and got this error. Now when I try to enter my blog I get this message:

To allow use of this page to automatically repair database problems, please add the following line to your wp-config.php file. Once this line is added to your config, reload this page.

define(‘WP_ALLOW_REPAIR’, true);

Can you help me? I’m not sure where to find my wp-config.php.file. Sorry for the inconvenience!

Hey Mark,

I have another question..
I am sind up for the Amazon Affiliate Program to advertsie on my wordpress site. Everything has been going fine with the advertisements until yesterday morning when I posted and added 3 advertisements to my post. When I view the post only the HTML info shows up for the advertisements and not the picture of the advertisement. Do you have any thoughts of why it would be doing this all of the sudden? All of my other posts still have the correct advertisement.

Your help is greatly appreciated!
Connie

@Michael & Richard – Awesome question. The custom coding required for that is beyond my ability. Sounds like you are thinking along the right lines, but I don’t know how to advise you. Here are a few sites that might help. http://crowdfavorite.com/wordpress/plugins/

Hello!
We are in development of a free website voting service where people can submit their music projects and people can vote on their projects.
However we have stumbled upon a problem.. We are using a theme called rewievit, and this comes with GD star rating plugin incorporated. So the posts or “reviews” if you wish, are sorted after the GD star rating.
We decided to go with a different vote plugin called WP Voting as we didn’t want stars but a simple vote button with a vote count, and we have managed to integrate this the way we wanted to on our website.
BUT. Now we have a problem. The WP Voting plugin is not supported by the theme widget when it comes to sorting the posts/ “reviews” by votes..
What we need to do is get the posts/ “reviews” on this page: http://russelaat.no/votes/ sorted after the amount of votes. Descending.
Is there an easy way we can do this?
Like read the number from this div class: wpv_vcount and sort the posts /”ratings” by this number?

Kind Regards.
Michael & Richard

@Mary – You need to find a backup copy somewhere. Hopefully your designer has one. If the designer customized the theme or created the home.php page him/herself, you need to get it from them. If it’s not custom (the home.php page came with the theme originally) and you know the name of the theme, you can search for it online and download a copy.

Thank you mark. I didn’t originally download the theme.
My Web designer did it. Can I still access the file to download it?

@Mary Diamond – You need to get the original files for the theme. If you uploaded the theme from your computer, you can unzip the theme files and open home.php with a text editor like Notepad on Windows or TextEdit on Mac. Copy the whole thing and paste it into home.php in the WordPress editor under Appearance > Editor (which it sounds like you were using). I always copy and paste a the file into a text editor first before making any changes so that I have a backup handy to put back if something goes wrong.

Hi there!
I have accidentally deleted the script in my home.php editor, and I don’t know what text is meant to be there. I was trying to insert a script for a switch to mobile version of my site, in the index.php, but went to the wrong screen.
Is there a generic code for this page, because now I have no live home page!
Help!!
Mary

@Amber – I don’t have a lot of experience in this area. What are the alternatives to $0.50 a transaction? A flat fee like that from a reputable host/service sounds pretty appealing to me. (I am not a Woo affiliate.) Why not try that until you find something better? (Just my 2 cents.)
