Full Version: Deleting Wordpress Database

Hi! I'm not exactly sure if this is the right place to post, but here goes anyway. My website designer ditched me and I am not too knowledgeable in website design, so that is what brings me here. The page I need some help with is: http://nesportsnews.com/redsox/

Now, you guys see where it says there is an error establishing a word press connection? I was wondering if there is anyway that I can delete that little thing and replace it with a text box (how it was previously). I can't seem to locate where it says wordpress in the source code. Help is greatly appreciated. Thank you!!!

Do you want to delete the database or the error message? smile.gif

The error message will go away of you fix the error. I think that's what you really want to do. You won't see anything about WordPress or PHP if you by source code mean View Source. It's all HTML by then. The stuff you want back is probably in the db and you need to get WP to work properly so it can fetch it.

Have you made any changes since WP doesn't seem to be able to connect to the db?

The only problem is the web designer has all the db login information. Aaah, am I totally screwed?

That panel on your page displaying the Wordpress error message is an inline frame. The content is coming from http://www.celtics247.com/nesox/ . If you want to display something else there, change the referenced URL.
gmags2003
Thanks, but how would I go about changing that referenced URL?
Darin McGrew
Change the src attribute in the iframe element. Please see IFRAME - Inline Frame in our HTML 4 reference.

Please see the FAQ entries Where can I learn about HTML? and Where can I learn about CSS?

Also see the FAQ entry Are there any problems with using frames?
gmags2003
Thank you so much! Now the only problem I am experiencing is putting the text starting at the top of the page instead of the middle. Any suggestions?
Darin McGrew
Use the valign attribute. See TD - Table Data Cell in our HTML 4 reference.
gmags2003
I see, but when I do this, it messes up the page big time:

<TR VALIGN=TOP> How do I make this text go to the top, instead of the middle? Thank you!</TR> </td>
Darin McGrew
At the moment, it is at the top. But the table layout looks rather broken. Maybe it's markup errors, or maybe you've just got a table structure that isn't what you want. I find that turning on table borders helps a lot when I'm debugging table structure.
gmags2003
Table borders, huh?

Yep. Adding border="1" to the table should be enough. See also TABLE in our HTML 4 reference.
gmags2003
I added the "1" to one of the tables, but it just screwed up the page elements again.
