require_once('../wp-load.php');to
require_once( ABSPATH . 'wp-load.php');I have to change this line with each upgrade. My error shows up in the file
update-links.php.I am the author of the WP Random Quotes. The styles added by the plugin are nearly all margin and padding settings so that the quotes appear indented on the sidebar or page. There is ONE font change – to make the author’s name boldfaced and right-aligned.

In reply to: Upgraded before thinkingAre you both using the same theme? Because of tag deprecation, some themes no longer work as expected in WP 2.1. I know I had to change my themes a bit (am still in the process of that) to make them work the way I want them to.

In reply to: Error messageFrom the looks of things, the “page.php” file in the Slate theme has a parse error in line 83. You’ll need to edit that file of the theme in order to have the error go away. A parse error is USUALLY a missing semi-colon at the end of a line of PHP code. Another solution is to contact the theme author and have him/her fix the problem.

In reply to: Upgraded to 2.1 But No PostsWhen I first updated, I had a message that said “No posts match the query” or something like that… I then logged in to the Admin Panel and was asked to upgrade. After running the upgrade there, my posts showed up again.

In reply to: Replacing sidebar headings with imagesYes, something like that would insert the same image with each of your sidebar headers with the class “donate”. Of course, I don’t think you want to indent the class -9999em 🙂
One that I’ve used before in the CSS for a theme is:
#sidebar h2 {
font: italic bold 16px Trebuchet, Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
margin: 8px 0px 3px 0px;
padding: 15px 0px 0px 0px;
height: 35px;
text-align: center;
color: #FFFFFF;
background: #DAA520 url(images/sidebardiv.png) no-repeat center;

In reply to: Replacing sidebar headings with imagesWhen you say you want to replace the headings with images, do you mean completely replace each heading with a unique image or do you mean to preceed or trail the heading with an image or do you mean to have the heading text with a background image to set it off?
The unique image one would be a bit more work. The other two are easily done with CSS.

In reply to: Open image in new windowI tried this a number of times, but ended up installing the Image Manager plugin. It makes it quite easy to do what you are asking.

In reply to: Title ErrorsKafkaesqui, when I read his question, I assumed incorrectly that he was working in the HTML head section. In my experience, flaky things happen when you use the
bloginfo()template tag there because nothing between the<head>...</head>tags is displayed to the browser except what is between the<title>...</title>HTML tags. After reading his posts further, I see he is working in the HTML body section, using thewp_title()template tag which is completely different.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Admitted NoobThe best suggestion is to turn off the WYSIWYG editor – personally I’ve never used it, but I’m comfortable with HTML. Then you can manually edit the tags.
If you feel you need a WYSIWYG editor, I’d suggest XinHa for WordPress. While it’s a sizeable plugin, it is much more reliable than the TinyMCE built in to WordPress.

In reply to: Errorsafe pop-up problemWhen you say “I have scanned my computer, no problem in there.” I assume that you mean you have scanned it for viruses. That is true, Errorsafe is NOT a virus. It is adware. You need to use some kind of spyware removal tool; my personal preference is Spybot Search & Destroy. If you Google Errorsafe, you’ll find at least one page with instructions on how to remove the adware and it’s popups.

In reply to: Title ErrorsIf you are going to use the blog name in the title, you need to use the
get_bloginfo('name')function as it is defined within the head HTML tags. Thebloginfo()template tag is used only within the body HTML tags.
