    • Hi,

      My menu buttons were working fine but all of sudden i started to receive below message.

      Not Found
      The requested URL /content/view/5/6/ was not found on this server.

      Additionally, a 404 Not Found error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
      Apache/1.3.39 Server at www.thequeenspoker.com Port 80

      Would please help, what have i done wrong (again)?
      Thank you,

    • I'm using Firefox's FireFTP and successfully navigated to... /public_html/my domain/... which contains the index.php file that the tutorial says I can use to manipulate my Vortex theme's options (color, etc.).

      I downloaded it so that I could edit it, opened it w/ Adobe GoLive CS2 (which I'm not familiar w/ but find is the default program), but then didn't find the text described in the tutorial.

      Are there multiple index.php files?

      Thanks for helping a newbie! I'm eager to get started.

    • Thank you, Dan!

      I found the template's index.php file. Adobe GoLive CS2 is my default program for opening the file, however, when I do open it a dialogue box pops up saying:
      ~~~~~~~~~~~
      The page has no encoding information.

      [1st radio button] Would you like to open the page using the selected encoding? The page will not be modified.

      or

      [2nd radio button] Would you like to set the page to the selected encoding? Only the Meta-Information is changed, the page is not reencoded.

      (Then below that option it provides a pulldown menu for multilingual, western, or Japanese encoding.)
      ~~~~~~~~~~~

      Q1: Is GoLive as good as any? If not, could you nominate another option or two (that I might, perhaps/hopefully already own)?

      Q2: If GoLive is alright, which option should I select. Experimenting neither seems to give me the script I saw on the tutorial (for changing colors, etc.).

      Thank you!

    • Kylan,

      In backend, go to your templates, select rt_vortex and click on the button Edit HTML. Now you can modify it directly.

    • In GoLive, leave the encoding as it is, if it changes the file then it will likely not work properly.

      I either edit directly (as per Yves' suggestion) or, for more complex changes, use Dreamweaver.

      There are also plenty of free editors out there.
