The site now has a new look:
In reply to: Updated to Desmond But Theme Not WorkingISSUE NOW RESOLVED. I have reinstalled bbPress, this time using only a pure text editor (TextWrangler) and a different FTP client. Before I was using Dreamweaver as my interface, and you would think, after years of web work and experience with DW’s thug-like behavior with relative paths, that I would have known better.
By the way, upon reinstalling without using DW, I did not have the initial reverse-slash issue. In other words, I am not having to use the path-to-url plugin, with or without its subsequent tweak.
By the way 2: I know this would be a “duh” comment for many, but just in case it helps someone avoid the problems I had: When running bb-admin/install.php, in the field where it calls for your web site, do not enter a trailing slash. I tend to add one out of habit, and I think that was the cause of some of my earlier problems.

In reply to: Updated to Desmond But Theme Not WorkingI’m viewing all this on Firefox/Mac 10.4.9 (in other words, I’m not trying anything fancy here). When I first began having the reversed-slash issue in Firefox (and IE Windows), I still was at least able to navigate through my admin panel. Now it’s giving me errors and redirects.
Admittedly your fix might not be the cause of the current problem. I’ll reinstall and see what happens. Your fix certainly was successful with the original problem. Thanks again.
In reply to: Updated to Desmond But Theme Not WorkingIt does seem to be wreaking havoc with some of the other slashes and paths, particularly within the Admin panel.
In reply to: Bad slash prevents style sheetWhile the issue technically is resolved, I think the fix creates other issues with slashes and paths. For instance, the main stylesheet displays correctly, but when I access my admin panel and then attempt to drill down into subcategories (Users, Content, Presentation, etc.), I get errors or weird redirects (gentoo.org?).
In reply to: Bad slash prevents style sheetnanome, I had just read that post and used your tweaked code to solve the problem. Thanks so much.
In reply to: Updated to Desmond But Theme Not WorkingNanome, UBD Man! (or woman, whatever)
That fix, as path-to-url.php in the my-plugins directory, did the trick immediately. Thanks for the hack.
In reply to: Bad slash prevents style sheetThe path-to-url.php plug-in did not seem to work. Yes, I do have it installed on a localhost, and I can see where that might be a problem.
In reply to: Bad slash prevents style sheetI see a similar problem and a possible fix in another thread.
