Journaling
I should totally be in bed right now but I felt the urge to blog really quick.
As some of you may have noticed, my site was dead for about 1 1/2 days. I’m still not entirely sure what happened, but I’m assuming I got rid of something important when I deleted the default themes from my server since I didn’t want them showing up in my themes list. I don’t know if I should have deleted them elsewhere (such as my WordPress Presentation link or something) but I stupidly went straight to my FTP and deleted the folders. Anyway, after reinstalling the “default” ugly blue theme, it seems to have worked. What sucks is that all my visitors are having to enter through that blue theme and then they must click the theme they actually want to view the site with twice. What a hassle. Why can’t I just leave shit alone on my website? This is like, the third time something goes seriously wrong.
Except the other two times I had to completely reinstall WordPress *scowl*.
I have a question for everyone who uses or has ever used WordPress. I know WP doesn’t have an import feature for Greymatter so how have you all (if you ever have) added your old entries? Do I just go ahead and copy/paste them into new posts but change the timestamp to the entry’s date? It sounds like such a hassle and I was kind of praying there’s a way around it, but I doubt there is. Just thought I’d ask =\. I’m tired of having to go through entry after entry on my harddrive trying to look for something (because my memory’s so bad right now I have to rely on my archives to help me remember things–no joke). It would be so much easier to have them at my disposal here on my site. Maybe I’ll do that tomorrow, while I’m only watching my two kids and Brianna. I’ll have to watch Matthew on Wednesday and Thursday because Noelia has papers to turn in at school, or some crap like that, so I get stuck with the lil’ guy. I just hope he’s in a much better mood than he was last Thursday. And what sucks is I have a doctor’s appointment (glucose test) Wednesday morning. Grr.
I should get to bed. I was going to finish folding clean towels and iron (the boys have Picture Day tomorrow! My first school portraits of Jaylen–yay!) but nah, I’m too darn tired. I’ll update about my weekend tomorrow. Goodnight!
I was worried you had banned me from your site. My computer was broke and I came back to visit and then poof! your site was gone. Glad to see you have things up and running again. Now I’m going to go get updated on everything you’ve been up to. ♥ ya!
haha, The thought of you blocking me did cross my mind also 😛 I’m glad to see you back, I just wish you hadn’t lost your stuff. I wish i could help, but I’m still a noob to wordpresss 😡
I would never! But you know what’s funny–I thought I’d somehow blocked myself from everything, too LOL!
I wouldn’t block you! And thanks :). I wish I was a genius at WP; maybe then I’d quit messing it up LOL.
Hmm, that’s strange. I’ve deleted the 2 default WP themes for the same reason as you and my site is ok *crosses every joint possible*.
Even if you do have to keep the 2 themes, you don’t have to have the blue theme as the one people see first. Login to your Admin Panel, click Presentation and choose the theme that you want as the default, and that should work. As for people having to click twice on the theme they want to use, the same happens to me. I think it’s just something to do with that particular plugin (ThemeSwitcher).
Greymatter stuff: I have no idea 😀 Copying and pasting is a bit of a hassle, but you could always do it bit by bit when insomnia strikes! I did a quick search on the WP support forums, but all the subjects about it seem to be years old and a few people got problems with it which haven’t been resolved. So yeah, I wouldn’t bother as you seem to be like me: you finally get the courage to mess around with WP and it goes tits up!
