f you have updated your WordPress to version you may have noticed that there is an admin bar that appears across the top of your screen. This admin bar is set to appear in the version 3.1 default settings. It is only visible to the admin when logged in so don’t worry, you visitors can’t see it. The purpose of having the admin bar there is to quickly be able to move to different parts of your dashboard with fewer clicks. For example if you want to add a new post or a new page, you can click on “new page” and be taken directly to the new page section of your dashboard.
Some may find this beneficial however most feedback I have seen it has caused some confusion and let’s face it, when we are viewing our site we want to see a nice clean view of what our visitors are seeing. So, to turn off the admin bar go into your Dashboard. Goto “Users” and select the admin the user and look for “Show Admin Bar.” Simply uncheck “when viewing site” and save and now it won’t appear.
If you haven’t updated to 3.1, you should because there are some important security updates.

If you have worked with WordPress long enough, for one reason or another, you have probably started your site over from scratch. So you either log into your cpanel or ftp and totally delete everything. Now you go over to your Fantastico Menu and you are all ready to once again install WordPress onto your domain.
All is going fine, until you see this error message, “You cannot install more than one script in the root directory of a domain.” Wait a minute, I just got done deleting all files, how can this be? So you go back into your ftp or cpanel and look again and sure enough, there is nothing there. What gives??
Don’t worry there is a simple fix. It appears the previous script was not properly removed. Here is what you need to do:
1. Log into your ftp or Cpanel file manager.
2. Go to your HOME directory and look for .fantasticodata
3. Next find this php file installed_in_root.php and delete it.
That should do the trick. You are now clear to re-install WordPress!

If you have recently upgraded to WordPress 3.0 you surely seen plenty of changes.
In previous versions at the top of your Dashboard, next to the name of your blog, there was a button that would allow you to visit your site. In WordPress Version 3.0 that button has mysteriously disappeared. You can still view your post, but where is the view site button?
Don’t worry, you can still view your site after making your posts and or changes.
Simply click the title of your blog, found in the upper left hand corner, and presto! It has the same effect as clicking “visit site” and takes you to your website.

many people are running into this error when attempting to upgrade their WordPress website to version 3.0. It is caused by a memory limitation on their site as to the amount of memory that can be used. Many sites are setup with a 32 megabyte limit. Version 3.0 now includes the functionality that was once in WordPress MU as well as the new default theme. All together it exceeds the 32 Mb limit.
The easiest solution is to install a plug-in called Memory Bump. While this plug-in is active you can set your memory limit as high as 256 Mb. Without this plug-in you would be forced to hand edit configuration files on your site. If the plug-in does not work for you then you are up against a hosting service defined limit and you will need to contact them to get the issue resolved.
