Sounds like a set-up issue. A link to your blog would help.

here is the link to the blog:

http://www.gr-hs.com/snap

Hmmm ... I'd need to look around in the back office in order to have a closer look at what's happening.

(If you want to PM me a temp admin login, that'd work, or if you prefer, you can contact me through our blog - contact link in the header)

I am trying to find out how to PM you the information.

nw ... email works

Thank you. Left email on your blog at randsco.com

Got your email. Thanks. ;)

=================
Categories

Okay ... I think the category thing must just be a confusion about how it works. Right now you have 2 sub-categories ("Door Access" and "Insurance")under a single main category "Welcome" for your blog "Snap Owners").

There weren't any posts in either of those sub categories, when I first hit your blog. So ... if I click on "Door Access" or "Insurance", I get a "Sorry, there is nothing to display" message (which makes since, because there are no posts in either of those two categories).

If I create a post under each (and I have, but published as "protected" so only logged-in users will see it) ... I see them just fine when I click the sub-categories. ;)

Categories appears to be working as they should. :D

(I've left the posts for you to play with)

=============
Requested Blog doesn't exist

You'll notice this is coming right after the "Categories" listing in the sidebar, but before XML feeds.

If you go to Admin and look under Blog Settings -> Widgets, you'll see (in the Sidebar section) that after the "Category List" widget is a "LinkBlog" widget, (right before XML feeds). THIS is your "problem".

Apparently, the linkblog designated for "Snap Owners" doesn't exist.

(Click the widget settings and you'll verify that the LinkBlog is set to ID == "3", but you only have 2 blogs - (with ID's 1 and 2, respectively - you can see the blog ID setting if you look at the LIST of blogs). So blog "3" doesn't exist, which is why that message comes up.

The fix is to either reassign the linkblog to your "Dev Blog" (ID=2) and keep the widget (Dev Blog posts will then start showing up in your Snap Owners sidebar ... something you may or may not want) ...

or delete the LinkBlog widget from Snap Owners (and then the error will go away).

Hope this helps.

Thank you very much.
This took care of the issue.
Now, a really embarrassing one . . . :oops: I logged out of my blog and cannot seem to get back in. I am certain I recall my password, at the very least my username, but apparently not :(

Is there anyway to get back in as admin to reset the username/password?

(I have dozens of sites I go to and recall the U/P combo on every one of them ... either something's wrong with the database on this one, or senility is beginning to set in).

Found it.
Whew

Thank you very much for your help!

yer welcome ... glad to help you sort it ... and that you can get in your own blog again :D

Yes ... I was able to figure that out. Now just need to find the instructions on how to set it up so people can get in and post replies and such. Right now, if you go to the site and click "Leave a comment", you get a "page not found".

Not just a comment problem, your permalinks are toasted as well. There's something basically wrong with the blog set-up ... hang on and I'll see if I can't sort it out.

I'll need you to un-neuter my login. ;) :p

That should do it -- back to where it was.

Okay ... you're on a web server that uses a Windows operating system (as opposed to a web server that uses a flavor of Linux, which most do).

Because you're on a window server, you can't use the "extra-path" (so called "clean URLs") found in the BlogSettings->URL's->Single Post URLs section. You'll need to use one of the two PARAM options.

You'll also need to change the other URL types (date/category/tags) to use PARAMS, rather than extra path.

I also took the liberty of changing the Blog Base URL from "Relative to baseurl", where it was using

http: //www.gr-hs.com/snap/blog1/index.php

as your "blog home" ... changing it to "Default blog in index.php" so it'll show up as

http: //www.gr-hs.com/snap/index.php

(which is a little "cleaner") instead.

Hmmm ... your web server appears to have crapped out in the middle of my admin session. Right now, I can't reconnect to the server.

You might want to check with your web host and find out what it wrong with the Windows Web Server to which you've been assigned.

Oops ... just came back up ...

So I changed both blogs to correctly use param-type URLs. You might want to rename the dev blog "blog2.php" file in your snap directory to be something more meaningful like "dev.php".

Aside from that, you should be good to go.

If you have the time and patience to help me along further, have issues with people logging in as well as with just responding to a post and just cannot figure out why. The other fixes you did (above) are perfect. Not sure if I should scrap this because it's on a Windows host or not, but I'm assuming some people must be successfully running on windows?

I put full details in another post here under: [2.x] Bad Installation.

Thank you.
