all errors have something to do with "call to undifined function: permalink()" they vary as to which line they occure on but they all have this in common

Thats all because that function does no longer exist in 1.8

You have to use this instead :

<?php $Item->permanent_link( '#icon#' ); ?>

ok, so i need to search all sourcecode in the blog for "x" and replace it with that bit of code?

What do i search for and replace?

The first error is because of you still have the /admin/ folder and access it, but it's only admin.php now for accessing the backoffice.
You should/could delete the admin folder.

Well in your _main.php file you look for permalink(); and you change it by $Item->permanent_link( '#icon#' );

Normally that should be only in 1 (maximum 2) places (per skin)

well that yeilded this :

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/ajourney/public_html/blog_page/skins/Uneven/_main.php on line 161

CArringt, try to be a bit more verbose.

Do you now have $Item->$Item->permanent_link(...) in line 161?

Sorry,
In _main.php on line 161 it now reads

<li>- <?php $Comment->author('','') ?> on <a href="<?php $Comment->$Item->permanent_link( '#icon#' ); ?>" title="permalink to comment"><?php $Comment->Item->title(); ?></a></li>

$Comment->$Item->permanent_link should be $Comment->permanent_link ..

You should search for "permalink()" and replace it with "permanent_link()".

search for permalink and replace it through out the entire blog or just this file?

just the files in your skin.

ok thanks,
That made my last post show up, but that one only. I checked in the app setting and have the blog set to display the last five.

I'm getting a new error at the end of the first post

Fatal error: Call to a member function on a non-object in /home/ajourney/public_html/blog_page/skins/Uneven/_main.php on line 294

Line 294 in _main.php

<a href="<?php echo url_add_param( $Blog->get( 'blogurl', 'htmlattr' ), 'author='. $Item->Author->ID) ?>"><?php $Item->Author->preferred_name();//  the name of the author ?></a>

This is keeping everyone from viewing anything past the first post.

Any ideas?

With some help from Danny Furguson I got my blog working again. all errors in my skin.

Danny also was kind enough to post a how to on upgrading a skin from 1.6 to 1.8

http://manual.b2evolution.net/Upgrade_Skin_from_1.6_to_1.8

I am still having one problem, Something is wrong with this set of code

<li>- <?php $Comment->author('','') ?> on <a href="<?php $Comment->permanent_link( '#icon#' ); ?>  title="permalink to comment"><?php $Comment->Item->title(); ?></a></li>

and i have no idea how to fix it

I know it has something to do with the title="permalink...etc part because if i add a "<" before "title" is appears correctly on the blog, but still doesn't link to anything
I get this:

Not Found
The requested URL /blog_page/skins/Uneven/<a href= was not found on this server.

Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.

Try this:

<li>- <?php $Comment->author('','') ?> on <?php $Comment->Item->permanent_link( '#title#' ) ?></li>

I'm not sure off hand what $Comment->author('','') gives you, but I'm pretty sure that $Comment->Item->permanent_link( '#title#' ) will give you a permalink to the item that the visitor commented on. Been working through a bunch of these lately is why I think I have a clue...

Well thanks for the help, but this is just ticking me off. I'm just going to start from scratch and redesign it.

Thanks for everyone's help

Your are missing the closing quotation mark for the href:
?>" title="

*edit*: have not noticed that there's a 2nd page already.. :D

I knew it had to be something like that. I just have no diea when it comes to any code. but i'm learning so much every day just from being on here and having to trace code around. you kindof figure out what it's trying to do.

lol is twwo pages a good thing?
