In reply to: Adding BadgeIt will appear on all pages that uses the widget area you place it in, which means in most themes it will appear on every page.

In reply to: Adding BadgeI see what you mean by having “space” at the bottom of your pages. If I may suggest my plugin BNS Corner Logo.
Visit my home site and look in the bottom right corner to see it in action, as you scroll the image stays in place in that corner (optionally any corner). Perhaps it will work for you, you will just need to fill in the blanks from the information (“code”) on the page the award presenter gave you.

In reply to: WordPress.com Stats Plugin BlackoutThis issue is often due to there being no call to the wp_footer() function, usually found in the footer.php template file of a theme.
Here is the plugin’s FAQ page: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/stats/faq/
Hope that helps …

In reply to: Adding BadgeA little more information may be helpful …
What is this “badge”? Is it an ad, or an image only, or something else?
Do you want it just on the home page, or at the bottom of all pages?
There may be a theme related component to possible solutions as well …… or it may just be simply adding an appropriate widget.

In reply to: Weird favicon-related problemAbsolutely! I have yet to find a reason why a WordPress installation should not be running the most current stable released version … and I should have noticed your version was posted in the sidebar of this topic, too.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Ad Management PluginI have run across issues with WP125 myself … and forwarded my work-around to the author. The other plugins I am not familiar with.
I dropped this line of code in the wp125.php file after line 167:
echo '<div style="clear: both;"></div>';Hope that helps with “Goal #1”
As to “Goal #2” the Desk Mess Mirrored theme may not support any “Ad” wider than 255px; wider Ads could be used but would not “look” right.
Perhaps the other theme authors would be able to suggest recommendations for their works.

In reply to: Category dropdown is displaying extra textHow are you connecting your “map” location (i.e.: categories) to the interactive map?
Perhaps there is something in that code.

In reply to: Declare CSS class to active link/page – HOW?Although just a guess, it appears the
wpsc_category()function is part of the WP-eCommerce plugin. If so, you may want to contact the plugin author for help specific to it.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Weird favicon-related problemI suggested reviewing your source code as in looking at the “page source” (right-click | view source) on the page.
Since you also have found the “spam” links, I would suggest looking at all of the files in the active theme folder, or simply replace the theme with a “clean” version. This will work based on the idea the current active theme version is where the issue lies. Otherwise you have a much more serious issue to contend with …

In reply to: Add link for new posts?@sribharath – Yes, it is your code … less the domain reference as it is not needed; and, the snippet I posted can be used on most any WP blog within a text widget.

In reply to: Declare CSS class to active link/page – HOW?Based on your examples above and viewing the source code on your site, it appears the function
wpsc_print_subcategory()is generating your page links in the footer.You may need to look at modifying that function to add a class (or two?) around your page links, then use @t31os_ or @rvoodoo suggestions.

In reply to: Modify themes or php, and updates will overwrite them…If you do not want the modifications made to a theme to be over-written with the next theme update one of the best methods is to use a child theme.
I wrote a post a while ago about creating child themes that references this post: How to make a child theme for WordPress at http://op111.net
As to modifying the core “PHP” files of WordPress, there is (with extremely few exceptions) always a way to do what you need within the constructs of the theme, especially using the functions.php template file.
