Well it’s not really a problem as i’m starting to like wordpress a lot and learning more and more. But my goodness it’s frustrating!!

I got over the “not being in the mood” buzz a while ago and it was well worth. Partly in thanks to you, Lorelle! Cheers.

A technology blogger has to be in a mood to create a blank text file called .htaccess?

LOL. Thanks for the funny. I love it. Good luck with your blog.

If you are serious, then check out the two minute or less task of doing this in Using Permalinks and Changing File Permissons in the WordPress Codex.

WordPress says for pretty permalinks you need to have a .htaccess file. I’m not in the mood to create one as of yet.

Good luck.

You can install Coppermine Gallery where ever you want inside your domain.
Then pointing to that folder will open the gallery.

What I wanted to ask is can I have gallery folder inside wordpress installation? Let’s say I install WordPress on top domain, http://www.domain.com and gallery (coppermine gallery) at http://www.domain.com/gallery Since I will use permalink when I click http://www.domain.com/gallery it always goes to page not out. What could be the solution. I do not want to put wordpress at http://www.domain.com/blog but at http://www.domain.com itself. Thanks again.

I have no access to “folders” on the server. What you see in the URL are virtual folders created with permalinks.

Blog and CMS and websites today do not use folders in the way your computer uses folders and directories. They are created “virtually”. With permalinks, you can create a “category” which looks and acts like a folder but a folder really doesn’t exist. The URL would read /example.com/gallery/blah-blah but you wouldn’t have one in reality.

If you physically want to run WordPress in a specific folder, so the URL and the reality matches, like example.com/blog/... then install WordPress to that folder, and set the Options when installing to that folder as part of the domain address.

I recommend you read Using Permalinks, Moving WordPress, Integrating WordPress with Your Website, and Changing The Site URL to get more help on this issue.

When I switched from my static HTML site to WordPress, I had eight folders I wanted to keep in my blog’s URL and had to totally change my thinking to make them virtual categories. It’s a new way of thinking.

But I have important folders inside. For example, domain.com/gallery I wanted to put WordPress on top, how can I modify htaccess so that domain.com/gallery will work properly?

Thank you in advance. I hope you must have done the same thing..

I cannot personally help you, and you are going to personally need some help. I recommend several things.

First, hire someone. I recommend WordPress Consultants on Automattic, the parent company of WordPress, and/or the WP-Pro mailing list to find an expert to fix things.

Second, if you want to do this yourself, it will take some work to undo what you did, all of what you did, and follow the instructions in Creating a Static Front Page, WordPress Secrets: The Real Ultimate Static Front Page, and OnLamp – From Weblog to CMS with WordPress. If you can get it cleaned up as it was, you can also use one of the “front page” Plugins in WordPress Plugins for Blog Layout, Formating, and CSS Designs to control a static front page.

Good luck with this. Sorry that you didn’t get a follow-through designer. I hope this helps.
