Nevermore.us

So, i got this silly little wordpress blog thing installed and i was instructed to document just about whatever i did, so here i go.

Of course i didnt want to stare at the default theme so i went and found one i wanted and i happen to be on a windows box so i tried to use WinSCP to transfer the files into the themes folder of my wordpress install and i got a big fat error telling me that PERMISSION IS DENIED or something to that effect. Elderec, knowing more about me says just go here and do this and that and blah blah.  So i try…fail…and then he goes to edit the /etc/sudoers list and next thing you know sudo is just straight broken.  He goes back and fixes what he did but by then my cohort Elderec suggested i just copy the theme to a folder in my home dir and then symlink the folder.  Good damn idea! Made a new folder called wordpress themes in my /home/nevermore dir and then browsed to the themes folder and used the following command to symlink the file:

ln -s /path/to/theme/darkwater-11 /wpinstall/wp-content/themes/darkwater-11

Then went into the admin control and omfg j35u5….the theme was installed like whoa.

oh and i just did the same with the wordpress openid plugin
