Thanks Garvin, that was exactly it but very strange because I use the same host for all my sites and serendipity is installed on many of them without issues.

If I download the template I want manually, will it show up in the list without sparticus?

I'm having a problem trying to modify the styles on one of my sites. I thought maybe I would solve it by upgrading to the latest version but unfortunately, the same issue.

When I click on styles in the admin menu it takes a long time before it delivers me a blank page.

My sparticus is set to ...

oh man, I don't know what to tell you - when I did it I just blanked out the password field and everything else stayed.

I hope Garvin can help you here.

hi Kerry,

When I did this last night the field should be filled with a giant string of numbers/letters - that's the one you delete.

The same happened to me - had it saved in my browser and poof... gone.

I hope this helps.

was fighting with this for a while.

Hi Garvin,

These are the contest sites I found, I didn't go through the whole list partially because I'm not sure how to tell for sure that it's serendipity but these were the ones that stood out.

If I find some more time later, I'll look through the list in more detail

I was adding a new site to the who's using page and noticed that it's being spammed- for example, a blogspot page?? lol

it's the ambatchdotcom seocontest contest, I guess people found my link there and figured they'd join the party.

Just thought you should know.

One other note - to see your blog as everyone else does, just log out of admin instead of just going back to the blog.

No need to find another computer

That is REALLY strange because it wasn't like that earlier and the pages I have displaying the feeds all got errors, including my "latest blog" in my signature at digital point forums. Maybe some of my uninstalling and reinstalling and changing the directory name did something but HONESTLY, it wasn ...

Somehow my rss feeds have become messed up and aren't acting like feeds.

the site is http://ambatch-dotcom-seocontest.com and the feeds are on the right side bar but readers are seeing them as html pages

I tried taking out the syndicate plugin and then reinstalling it but that didn't help.

Any ...

Well, thanks all but it looks like I'm going to have to start over - nothing seems to be working and the only thing I can think of is that somehow the numbers in the dbuser dbname have gotten messed up somehow.

This isn't the first time this has happened to me - I hope it doesn't happen again but ...

Thanks Garvin -

Actually, the user name isn't the one I log in with so the whole thing might be wrong.

should the name after and before the numbers and _ be my log in name? and if I change that and put the correct password in clear text will that work? I noticed that it's always encrypted in my ...

yes, still getting the same error

Thanks Matthew - I tried every variation I could think of but nothing made any difference.

This is what's in mine;

$serendipity['versionInstalled'] = '1.0';
$serendipity['dbName'] = 'user_389806';
$serendipity['dbPrefix'] = 'serendipity_';
$serendipity['dbHost'] = '10.0.11.206';
$serendipity ...

I really have to stop messing with this because I always seem to get into trouble when I do. :cry:

I was changing some settings in the configuration and noticed that I hadn't set the url rewriting to apache mod rewrite like I have in my other blogs so I did that and now when I try to access the ...
