Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Remove Blogroll CategoriesThis appears to be the function that is generating your blogroll links: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/get_links
Note that it has been deprecated, you might consider removing the related lines in the sidebar (lines 47-53 inclusive of the pastebin example) and using the default “Links” widget in its place.

In reply to: How to test a plugin upgrade or installFrom what I understand on this page: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/register_activation_hook the function should work based on the user actions on the Plugin page, at least for testing purposes.

In reply to: Custom string generated based on page titleIt looks like there may be a bit of trial and error finding the most correct “separator” as well as how best to handle letters that have accents … I would refer to the documentation at php.net for strings

In reply to: Category archive, but is_category is falseYou might consider using the in_category() function in place of the is_category() function.

In reply to: How to test a plugin upgrade or installPlugin (like theme) updates are essentially an over-write of the existing code. I would suggest setting up a test environment (or several) and install the current plugin … test for functionality (it should work just fine).
Then simply overwrite the current with the latest version you are working on and re-test. Unfortunately if you have not written any “undo” functions into the plugin you will need multiple sandboxes to test with and play in.
… that would be one approach I would take. I hope it helps …

In reply to: Moving SidebarsDid you use a “hard” refresh to make sure you were not viewing a cached version of your page?
This post explains the difference between a “hard” and “soft” refresh if it is not clear: http://wpfirstaid.com/2009/12/why-hard-or-soft-refresh/

In reply to: Help: Styling comment input boxYou can use the following as suggested changes to your style.css file …
Around line 579 (font size and background color):
#commentform textarea { background-color:#123FFF; /* a shade of blue */ float:none; font-size:2em; /* edit to your preference as px, em, or percent */ overflow:auto; width:98%; }… (add to the end of your style.css file) for the (unstyled) submit button text:
input#submit { font-size: 2em; }Remember to make a backup!
