But I do not want the guest author to be registered in the admin panel. On the guest posts, I want to hide my (default author) name. Is it possible to conditionalize the_author function so that the author name is hidden on guest posts only but displayed on all other posts? (By imposing some kind of conditions based on tag or custom field). </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/296441#post-1175977 Sat, 15 Aug 2009 13:22:54 +0000 wayfoward 1175977@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hello,<br /> I have the same problem.

That would make a big difference. The Meta widget is rather a "take it or leave it" menu block. You get all of the links or you remove it and get none of them. The only option is to edit the sidebar file and add the links you do want via template tags. The "manually added" links would also have to be either at the top or bottom of your current menu bar. They couldn't be between your remaining widgets. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/296441#post-1160557 Sun, 02 Aug 2009 21:37:48 +0000 vagabond_uk 1160557@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Thanks. I've managed to fix the nofollow issue, which was surprisingly staring me in the face... lol.</p> <p>However, there is no &lt;?php wp_register;?&gt; in sidebar.php.</p> <p>The register link is added as part of the meta widget in the backend if that makes any difference. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/296441#post-1160540 Sun, 02 Aug 2009 21:29:06 +0000 esmi 1160540@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Try editing sidebar.php and removing <code>&lt;?php wp_register;?&gt;</code>.</p> <p>As for the 'no-follow' issue, I've just checked one of your pages that contained quite a few links and couldn't find a single link with the "no-follow" attribute.</p> <p><a href="http://netpressarticles.com/services/" rel="nofollow">http://netpressarticles.com/services/</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/296441#post-1160510 Sun, 02 Aug 2009 21:11:28 +0000 vagabond_uk 1160510@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Unfortunately not.

Or disabling it altogether?</p> <p><a href="http://netpressarticles.com/" rel="nofollow">http://netpressarticles.com/</a> - the register link appears in the sidebar.php under the Functions heading. It also appears on the login.php page.</p> <p>I'd also like to disable the ability for guests and random visitors to register accounts but retain the ability for trusted people (who I invite) to register onto my site as an author and contribute content, but without the need of them being added manually via the admin panel.</p> <p>Disabling the 'anyone can register' tab in General Settings kills the whole registration process entirely which isn't what I want.</p> <p>Is it possible to do this? Either by plugin or altering code? So far my searches have turned up fruitless.</p> <p>Thanks gor any help. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/243898#post-986711 Sun, 15 Feb 2009 07:50:16 +0000 kaneesha 986711@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Looks promising! </p> <p>Thank you CJ </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/243898#post-986532 Sun, 15 Feb 2009 00:39:40 +0000 ClaytonJames 986532@http://wordpress.org/support/ <blockquote><p>so something like: if a guest then &lt;blabla guest&gt;log in&lt;/blabla guest&gt; if not then &lt;blabla member&gt;log in&lt;/blabla member&gt;.</p></blockquote> <p>Thinking along those lines... this seems to inspire hope:</p> <p><a href="http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_user_logged_in" rel="nofollow">http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/is_user_logged_in</a></p> <p>Is your theme an original?

I noticed that it gave the browser a option to just input the name and email address to leave a comment. I do not know what I did or where did the option go, but now when I browse as a guest. That option is no longer available. How can I get it back so that a user/browser can just leave a comment without having to join the site? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/225799#post-926210 Mon, 15 Dec 2008 20:37:08 +0000 dirtyfraudsandliars 926210@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Minutes after posting this, I found out how to allow unregistered guests to post.</p> <p>In the Settings | General page there is a category "Membership" which has a checkbox that says "Users must be registered and logged in to comment". Just uncheck that.</p> <p>I assumed that all comment related permissions would be on the "discussion" page. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/225799#post-926196 Mon, 15 Dec 2008 20:31:38 +0000 dirtyfraudsandliars 926196@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I have been using Wordpress for 1-1/2 years. I used to allow unregistered guests to leave comments, but had to shut off comments due to large amounts of spam. </p> <p>Since that time, I have upgraded to WP 2.6.5, which I am currently using. I enabled the Askimet plugin today and turned comments on again. </p> <p>However, Wordpress will NOT allow anyone to leave comments unless they first register. <strong>How can I shut off this registration requirement</strong> so unregistered guests can post comments on articles like they used to be able to do in previous versions of Wordpress???</p> <p><strong>Can anyone help?</strong> I've searched for over half-an-hour now and have found no useful instructions. The reason is because if I search for anything I just get unrelated blogs because the Wordpress text used is the same on all blogs! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/187966#post-895552 Mon, 10 Nov 2008 22:10:47 +0000 indojepang 895552@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>it's a big problem if it does! :O </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/216091#post-894105 Sat, 08 Nov 2008 21:49:47 +0000 Monika 894105@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi</p> <p>WP 2.7 Beta 2<br /> installed in a subdirectory</p> <p>threaded comments activ</p> <p>if a guest would like to send a comment he is redirected to<br /> wp-comments-post.php</p> <p>with a white page </p> <p>WP 2.7 Beta 1 guests are able to comment </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/187966#post-871053 Tue, 07 Oct 2008 12:13:21 +0000 edde 871053@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>One problem remains: now all contributors are allowed to delete images uploaded by others too. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/208333#post-869062 Sat, 04 Oct 2008 10:48:10 +0000 popsantiago 869062@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hello,<br /> I find the plugin TDO MINI FORMS to permit to guest's post.
