Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Can't add new pluginsBasically, she is saying that she had the same issue. The installation did not allow her to install plug-ins, so she did a new installation to the latest version of wordpress and that worked.

In reply to: avoiding inactive widget area due to theme switchI fully support WP saves the settings. I get that. Question 1: Is it WP assigning those ID numbers, or can the IT coder assign these ID numbers? If the coder can, then how does one do that? (I’m quickly learning that unless I learn PHP, I’ll have to hard code in HTML/CSS).
Question 2:
Can’t WP have us tick a box that makes ALL widgets we use automatically, by default go to whatever the TOP right box is in the widget area, with all the saved settings? Surely, if they can make it go to a default area on the bottom left, why can’t they put this in a sidebar top right box? (In whatever order WP chooses wouldn’t bother me at all as long as MY non-admin users can see it.) And, for the various themes, all themes would have a default sidebar box that the admin can move their widgets out of, if they don’t want to use it.Dynamic Sidebar code: Did not work. I tried it. The Dynamic sidebar widget hasn’t been tested on the latest WP and may not work. And, it requires editing of PHP files that may be updated and then every time there is an update, I’ll have to update the file. 😛 Not cool.
Without this, Theme switchers are null and void by default except for child themes.

In reply to: [Toolbar Theme Switcher] Allow anonymous users to switch themesI thought that by deleting a line of code…
// Bail if user is not logged in. if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) return;that users not logged in would be able to switch themes too, as I have disabled membership. I guess I’ll have to allow membership. It does work when I allow membership, as I just tried it.
Thanks! And, if you do ever fix it so random people to my site can just switch themes to one of the accessible themes, I’ll gladly update! Thanks again!

In reply to: [Toolbar Theme Switcher] Allow anonymous users to switch themesThank you Rarst, as this is what I needed. I’m using your plug-in with your code you posted to accommodate people with special color processing needs. My website needs to be accessible to all people who need different theme colours, and adding every name by hand would quickly become overwhelming on a site you hope to reach thousands of people with.
Why is this important? We need this plug-in to at a minimum always work with the current version of WP. Or, we lose a huge amount of users of the internet. And this is completely ignoring all my other arguments, as this is really the most important.
1. I know that WP doesn’t have to be on non wp.com sites. I still mean that general area. 😉
2. I realize that style and theme switchers are plugin territory currently. I also am aware that WP comes with WP themes twenty eleven and twenty twelve pre-installed, akismet pre-installed. This may not be core, but it is still part of the WP experience out of the box (with some configuration needed.)
3. Given the above, the Toolbar Theme switcher (the one that works the best as far as my experiences has found) could very easily be made apart of WP, at least to the extent Twenty Eleven and Twenty Twelve and Akismet is. Yes, it wouldn’t make it mandatory, but it would be a start. Then, perhaps adding a note that says the 2 installed themes with the theme switcher are made specifically for Accessibility needs of some users who would otherwise, may not be able to use or read your website.
Thanks!I agree, it is hard to accommodate everyone.
My idea would be no different then you guys forcing “Powered by WordPress 3.5.1” to be on my WP site. Obviously, there are ways of me getting rid of it, but still. You guys have earned the rights to advertise, and I think that those who were born with disadvantages should get the same level of support. It won’t hurt the owner’s design. And if the owner balks, then owner can get glad wrap as we can’t choose to “heal” of “our disability”.
Secondly, I would not ban them from using another plug-in for switching of themes. I would just ban them from disabling the theme switcher that allowed everyone to access and read their website. Perhaps, the theme switcher could be apart of the bottom “powered by” section? Just a thought. lol
1) I can only do simple HTML 5 and CSS3. Otherwise, I would have done this years ago. I also would be a billionaire with my own social network site. 😀 Maybe someday, I’ll get rich enough to hire someone to program such a plug-in. I’ve been daydreaming of that. Thanks!
2) Isn’t it possible for theme-switcher to be a mandatory option in WP where by user to website, would see Owners Custom Default theme, but could choose Accessibility Theme using the “Theme Switcher” and have Theme Switcher be a mandatory feature in WP?
And then, have 2 mandatory theme options (black text on white and black text on yellow), but then allow the Owner of website to add additional themes if they choose too? Browsers have a built in zoom feature that allows text to be increased.
3) Backend: I relish the idea of skinning the Admin side. 😀
Answer about website:
Grapheme colour synesthesia is a disorder where people see letters in different colours. They were trying to come up with a creative way to teach reading to those with grapheme colour synesthesia, dyslexia and were rote learners.The website had a “book” one could read with those letters in different colours, but also had the letters at different distances from the straight line that letters are usually put on. I can’t find this website anymore. My computer with the link to the website, died. I’ve been looking for that website ever since, and may not exist anymore. This was a few years ago. Sorry!
