In reply to: Spacing p:You can also click the “view html” button from the editor and add a single carriage return by adding in the
<br />tag.Thats what I do… it’s quick and easy.

In reply to: Floating footer in 1.5I fixed 99% of the validation errors (it still hates the java script I have) and revalidated both the pages and the css. The footer still floats.
I did, however, make it so that it no longer displays most of the content of the sidebar if you navigate off the main page. While a cheese workaround, that should do the trick.

In reply to: Floating footer in 1.5I’ll rerun the validation (though most of the errors I got were because I added comments to see where each
<div>began end ended (and I used<--- comment --->instead of<-- comment -->).I’ll keep looking at it and may implement the min height attribute that Jinsan suggested.
Thanks for the complement on the layout. It’s a heavily modified theme (Harbors) taken from AlexKing.org.

In reply to: Floating footer in 1.5I guess a link might help…

In reply to: sidebar issue with links wp1.5What the heck… while I’m talking to myself, I might as well add that I found and corrected the issue.
Apparently, they hard coded
<H2>tags around the link catagories section of the ‘get_link_lists’ function in links.php.While this might be fine for some, I have some extras tossed into my CCS for
<H2>tags (I specifiy a HR and a width). This is what tossed my format out the window.I removed the
<H2>‘s and it’s a beautiful thing again.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: sidebar issue with links wp1.5One more thing to add.
After looking at the parsed source that IE spits out, I’ve noticed that an
<h2>tag is getting thrown around the link catagories. This isn’t in the sidebar.php or style.ccs file.Anyone know where this is coming from? (that appears to be what’s tossing my format off)
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: sidebar issue with links wp1.5I guess I should have stated that the issue weems to be related specificly to these calls in the sidebar.php:
<?php wp_list_pages(); ?>
<?php get_links_list(); ?>If I comment those out, everything works like it should.

In reply to: Get rid of TrackBack spamI’ve gotten about 600 of these stupid things in the last 24 hours.
After much mucking about, I came up with the same solutions mentioned above (I guess I should have searched here first). I’ve had great luck with a custom one-off for comment spam and was hoping to do something similar in this case (I won’t post what I did there but will gladly share if you ask).
This is so wildly irritating.

In reply to: Recent spam in commentsI installed WPBlacklist about 30 seconds after my previous post.
Fahim… you are a GOD!! Thank you!
Does anyone know for sure how this is being done? My assumption is they have a perl script (or something similar) that’s doing an autofill on the form. If this is the case, would renaming variables and changing the order of the input boxes stop them?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Recent spam in commentsI’ve recieved about 300 coments in the past 24 hours on my site for the same url’s as above (they’re coming in faster now… about 2 or 3 per minute).
I haven’t signed up for blogexplosion.
I came here searching for blacklist software (like MT-Blacklist). I see mention of WPBlacklist and will install that.

In reply to: comment spammingIn reference to the last post by Anon. Spammers spoof IP’s. I would get, on average, around 230 spams per day… well… attempted spams… and while the IP address would change from comment to comment, you’d see groups of those comments were often exactly alike (and posted a second or so apart). The only difference was the ip address. This makes it pretty obvious it’s the same moron doing it.
Blocking url’s is about the only way to pull this off. Block that and you block the spammers goal… to propogate the url.
There is a side note to this… you might want to also block blogs that don’t clean off their spam. A new trick that seems to be all the rage is to flood someone’s site with spam, then make comments elsewhere that point to the infected site. It’s all done to raise google rank, and its anoying as hell.
Anyway.. those are my two cents.
