It's just a plugin that one of the main developers of WP finds funny. There's no use for it, no. I delete it (and Akismet) after an auto-upgrade (in the manual days I just didn't upload them). </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/294818#post-1154973 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 06:56:46 +0000 khena25 1154973@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>It's just there, there is nothing you can do. If you want to, you can go ahead and delete it. But I personally don't find it useful at all. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/294818#post-1154946 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 06:08:08 +0000 isaacyassar 1154946@http://wordpress.org/support/ <br /> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/294818#post-1154772 Wed, 29 Jul 2009 02:00:04 +0000 isaacyassar 1154772@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>When I installed WP 2.7.1 to my <a href="http://www.goblogger.net">Go Blogger (dot) net</a> using Fantastico Deluxe, I got 2 plugins automatically: Akismet and Hello Dolly. I know Akismet is very important to block spam. Does Hello Dolly also has the same importance? </p> <p>Why they put it together with Akismet? </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279991#post-1109389 Fri, 19 Jun 2009 03:23:07 +0000 villager57 1109389@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I agree that I wonder what that plugin is good for and it is annoying that it is reinstalled automatically at every update, but have you just tried to delete it (with the plugin panel or a FTP client)? That's what I do. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279991#post-1109172 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 22:56:34 +0000 VRocKs 1109172@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Pissed me off too!</p> <p>But here is a real problem:</p> <p>In 2.7 the plugins were colored when turned on.. Now they are white when turned on... 1, they look like crap when white... The entire page looks like trash! 2, I just about had a heart attack when I thought 32 of my blogs didn't have any activated plugins...</p> <p>Why change the colors when it was working SUPERBLY in 2.7 making them yellow?</p> <p>It is changes like these that blow my mind!</p> <p>ANOTHER BUG!!!</p> <p>You people swapped the blogs title with the admin page in the title tag on the header... Why? Now when I work with 15 blogs in tabs I have this:</p> <p>Edit Pos| Edit Pos| Edit Pos| Edit Pos| Edit Pos| Edit Pos| </p> <p>And used to have something that told me what blog I wanted like this:<br /> Shawn's T|LCD Revie|Plasma R|Lose Wei|Gas Plas|Etc etc|</p> <p>Changes like these make no sense! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279991#post-1108440 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 13:39:41 +0000 malcarada 1108440@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I have no problem admitting that the bug is tiny, but it is still a bug, now if developers are goint to ignore bugs because they are tiny that is fine, just let people know so they dont bother reporting bugs. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279991#post-1108227 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 09:50:16 +0000 Gangleri 1108227@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Just like the WP Automatic Upgrade plugin, the built in upgrade function puts ALL files from the WP pack on your server and that pack includes Matts plugin and the default themes. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279991#post-1108211 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 09:32:02 +0000 swyx 1108211@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>i must say your bug is pretty tiny considering what other people are facing. chill out. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279991#post-1108173 Thu, 18 Jun 2009 08:23:14 +0000 malcarada 1108173@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Is there a fliping point for me taking the time to filling in a bug report? Probably not given the responses, and this will be the first and last one I post. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/280308#post-1107117 Wed, 17 Jun 2009 14:26:44 +0000 AndyD_OHD 1107117@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hi esmi,</p> <p>that's what I did. There was no other option. Just wondered if anyone else had the same problem at any time. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/280308#post-1104718 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 19:56:55 +0000 esmi 1104718@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>No idea what's causing that error. I've never seen it before - though it could be one of your other plugins. In the meantime, FTP into your site and delete the wp-content/plugins/akismet directory and the hello script in the wp-content/plugins directory. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/280308#post-1104325 Mon, 15 Jun 2009 14:35:50 +0000 AndyD_OHD 1104325@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>HI All</p> <p>I have been trying to delete plugins from within Dashboard (Wp 2.7.1). BUt I get the error:</p> <blockquote><p>Fatal error: Cannot use assign-op operators with overloaded objects nor string offsets in /home/lams08/public_html/wp-admin/includes/file.php on line 688</p></blockquote> <p>The plugins I am trying to delete are Akismet and Hello Dolly as I wont use them. Anyone have any suggestions?</p> <p>Andy </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/279991#post-1103297 Sun, 14 Jun 2009 16:53:00 +0000 malcarada 1103297@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>I just Upgraded to Wordpress2.8 and I noticed that it reinstalls the RETARDED "Hello Dolly" plugin.</p> <p>I had previously spent time deleting this plug in from every single of my blogs, I obviously do not want it but on upgrading Wordpress will reinstall it.</p> <p>I think this is a bug, Wordpress should not be reinstalling a plug in I have already deleted. </p> <p>This is not a new installation, I already have a customized Wordpress Blog. I guess is deleting time again...</p> <p>POSTDATA:</p> <p>Another bug! I just noticed on upgrading to WP2.8 it also REINSTALLS the Classic and Default themes I had already deleted from my blogs as I do not use them. Now I have to put up with more clutter. </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/226433#post-940027 Tue, 30 Dec 2008 05:04:06 +0000 charlener 940027@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>It was updated, but looks like only relatively minor changes and it's still not compliant with best practices...</p> <p>How about showing an example options page with updates? The latest version of WP has changed a bit here and an example would be great. Ditto to previous comments on that bug report to show good usage of hooks and installation methods... </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/226433#post-933618 Mon, 22 Dec 2008 10:51:27 +0000 Viper007Bond 933618@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Erm, it was, wasn't it?</p> <p><a href="http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8188" rel="nofollow">http://trac.wordpress.org/ticket/8188</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/226433#post-928367 Wed, 17 Dec 2008 12:19:00 +0000 zamolxes 928367@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Can you update this great plugin :) to word press latest version?<br /> I mean change some display options to show it correctly.</p> <p>Have fun! </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/194541#post-821948 Tue, 05 Aug 2008 17:42:53 +0000 kalico 821948@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>This is my first attempt at adapting an admin plugin for my own purposes. I have a general grasp of php, just enough to get myself in trouble. :)</p> <p>What I want to do, and can't find quite the right code, is to modify the Hello Dolly plugin so that it displays a different set of song lines (or quotes, or whatever) for the admin vs. everyone else.</p> <p>I'd be happy enough with something really simple, like "only display if user_ID == 1". But even better would be "if user_ID == 1, display THIS; else, display THAT" And yes, I do want to use user_ID rather than current_user_can if possible -- because I only want that particular user to see the "other" text, not all admins.</p> <p>I was hoping to just surround the add_action call with an if statement, but that didn't work.</p> <pre><code>if (get_profile(&#39;ID&#39;) == 1) { add_action(&#39;admin_footer&#39;, &#39;hello_dolly&#39;); }</code></pre> <p>I get an error now in admin:</p> <pre><code>Parse error: syntax error, unexpected &#39;}&#39; in /home/********/public_html/wp/wp-content/plugins/hello.php on line 62</code></pre> <p>And line 62 just happens to be part of the opening comments of the code, so it doesn't tell me for sure where the error lies, but when I remove the comments I end up with line 62 being the first line of the following code:</p> <pre><code>function hello_dolly() { global $chosen; echo &quot;&lt;p id=&#39;dolly&#39;&gt;$chosen &quot;; }</code></pre> <p>But there is no " } " on that line, so take that for what it's worth.</p> <p>Thanks in advance for any help with this "superfluous" little project.</p> <p>:) </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/172845#post-747190 Tue, 29 Apr 2008 19:40:08 +0000 Otto42 747190@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>Hmm?</p> <p>Hello Dolly is still in 2.5.1.</p> <p><a href="http://trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.1/wp-content/plugins" rel="nofollow">http://trac.wordpress.org/browser/tags/2.5.1/wp-content/plugins</a> </p> http://wordpress.org/support/topic/172845#post-747143 Tue, 29 Apr 2008 19:02:37 +0000 thelazygeisha 747143@http://wordpress.org/support/ <p>No more 'Hello Dolly' in 2.5+</p> <p>Hmmmm... that makes me sad... </p> <p>Figured that would have been the first thing to get done.</p> <p>- nina </p>
