It seems the hosting server was dealing with issues due to the latest WordPress hacks that have been going on in the last day or two. Hope all are safe with respect to their own WP sites, if you hadn’t heard of it, best to ensure updating your wordpress version to the latest secure version, as this has been released to help prevent the recent hacks.

The strange thing is that whether I have Akismet installed or not, my admin comment is still being marked as spam. Although after I un-spamed it, Akismet marked it as ‘false positive’. * I did find this article regarding the ‘false positive’ [http://akismet.com/support/#ht9](http://akismet.com/support/#ht9) which I’m a little unsure of how to best take the steps to ensure my admin comments don’t get marked as spam again. * In the article from the link above, it mentions that CAPTCHA plugins _may_ also cause this to happen. There are 3 plugins that are Captcha related that I do have installed, they are: 1. Really simple Captcha (this to go with Contact Form 7 plugin) 2. WP-reCAPTHCA 3. Register Plus * These 3 plugins I have had them installed for a few years now, so it’s definitely not Akismet, as I only installed it now for the first time. * Anywho, I really hope someone is able to assist me on fixing this issue. Looking forward 🙂 * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Admin comments are being marked as spam](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-comments-are-being-marked-as-spam/) * Thread Starter [ArtWave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/artwave/) * (@artwave) * [13 years, 5 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-comments-are-being-marked-as-spam/#post-3198662) * It is definitely strange behavior 🙁 The funny thing is that I don’t have Akismet plugin installed on our site. And from doing a bit of research it seems that Akismet would be the only other possible plugin that might cause that. I don’t have any other ‘spam’ related plugins installed…I even uninstalled and deleted the WP-SpamFree plugin which didn’t really fix the issue. hmmmm…mind boggling eh… * The other option I have is to upgrade our wordpress version to the latest (am running 3.3.1 right now) and see what happens. * Again, I so so so appreciate your assistance!!!!! And still open to any other suggestions….am hopeful that we’ll get to the bottom of it and find a solution. * Looking forward and openly receiving any and all suggestions 🙂 * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Admin comments are being marked as spam](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-comments-are-being-marked-as-spam/) * Thread Starter [ArtWave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/artwave/) * (@artwave) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-comments-are-being-marked-as-spam/#post-3198649) * I checked my settings in discussion….and there were a few ip address listed in the blacklist…however not mine 🙂 In either case I deleted them anyway, saved and went to reply to a comment again… unfortunately it still went to spam 🙁 * Very weird and a tad bit frustrating…. * Maybe this experience I had about a year ago may assist: I had 2 admins in my users once, and there is only 1…so after much research and assistance from wp folk, I was able to get rid of the 2nd (hidden) admin that was showing….it had turned out that perhaps it was some hacker that had created it….long story short…. I took care of it and never happened again. * Do you think this may be somehow connected? I would doubt it, considering that it’s my ip/admin that’s going to spam… * Have you ever heard or read of this same situation happen before? * I am determined to get to the bottom of this issue and resolve it….and of course your assistance is greatly appreciated !! * I am open to any and all suggestions 🙂 * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Admin comments are being marked as spam](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-comments-are-being-marked-as-spam/) * Thread Starter [ArtWave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/artwave/) * (@artwave) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-comments-are-being-marked-as-spam/#post-3198646) * hmmm….so I deactivated and deleted the plugin…then I went to reply to a comment and it still went to spam 🙁 * Any other suggestions…thoughts? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Admin comments are being marked as spam](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-comments-are-being-marked-as-spam/) * Thread Starter [ArtWave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/artwave/) * (@artwave) * [13 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/admin-comments-are-being-marked-as-spam/#post-3198645) * Thank you for your response 🙂 Here’s a link to the actual plugin that I’m using, not sure if it helps… [http://www.polepositionmarketing.com/library/wordpress-plugins/wpspam-free/](http://www.polepositionmarketing.com/library/wordpress-plugins/wpspam-free/) Although I did notice that their latest version was done 2010…so it might be a possibility that it’s clashing with the more recent versions of WordPress. * However, I will try your suggestion…see what happens 🙂 and of course get back… * Again very much appreciate your assistance !!!! * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Administrator number showing 2 when it's 1](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/administrator-number-showing-2-when-its-1/) * Thread Starter [ArtWave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/artwave/) * (@artwave) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/administrator-number-showing-2-when-its-1/#post-2527747) * I found the solution!! * Check this thread…and you should be able to find those sneaky “hidden” admins… and delete them 🙂 [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-delete-hidden-admin-user](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-delete-hidden-admin-user) * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [How to delete hidden admin user](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-delete-hidden-admin-user/) * [ArtWave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/artwave/) * (@artwave) * [14 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/how-to-delete-hidden-admin-user/#post-2187980) * Thank you romson!!!!!!!! this completely exposed the 2nd “hidden” admin 🙂 and deleted!! * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Content on All Pages Not aligning Correctly – using Meta-morphosis theme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-on-all-pages-not-aligning-correctly-using-meta-morphosis-theme/) * Thread Starter [ArtWave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/artwave/) * (@artwave) * [15 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/content-on-all-pages-not-aligning-correctly-using-meta-morphosis-theme/#post-1721699) * Thank you so much for responding Esmi! I really appreciate your time & assistance 🙂 * I checked the links you suggested…i’ve actually checked these resources before, and unfortunately have no idea what to do with them. * The theme i’m using (Meta-morphosis) wasn’t built by me…(it’s a free theme by WooThemes) so all these code errors i’m getting from the validation site…is foreign to me. And i’m at a loss to know how to fix them. 🙁 * Mind you though, the content layout was aligning correctly before on all browsers… This is very new. It’s just recently that i’ve noticed the pages Not aligning correctly when viewed in Safari browser. On Firefox it shows correctly. * I’m not an expert on markups or validation…and even after checking the markup and css errors i still don’t know what is causing this…especially when it’s only showing incorrectly on Safari, IE & Chrome. * I just can’t seem to get my head around it. 🙁 * I’m in most humble appreciation for anyone to be able to assist in any way… * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Widgets Not showing, using Meta-Morphosis theme](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widgets-not-showing-using-meta-morphosis-theme/) * Thread Starter [ArtWave](https://wordpress.org/support/users/artwave/) * (@artwave) * [16 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/widgets-not-showing-using-meta-morphosis-theme/#post-1125493) * Ok guys…i’m all good yay!!!

First of all **spstieng**, thank YOU so much for your assistance! I changes the opacity to 100, and the widgets are showing!! – very cool. * There is a couple of problems still though. _**1.** The recent posts & Links are only showing two lines, when there should be 10 recent posts and about 6 links ???_ * _**2.** The fourth widget is overriding (on top of the first Meta widget) and when you click on the ‘next’ button to go to the next slide, it doesn’t move, in fact it just refreshes the same page. Any clue as to why this is happening???_ * Here is the footer.php file source (the widgets area): * ```

This area is controlled in your WP admin under Apperance > Widgets. You need to add your desired widgets to one of the 9 widget areas (Footer1-9).

Regarding the opacity you mentioned in the style.css, line 402 – do i just remove the opacity??? I’m not sure what to do exactly…yet! but i’m gonna try and remove the opacity, see what happens and will be back here shortly 🙂 * Blessings! Viewing 12 replies - 1 through 12 (of 12 total)
