simple solution, create an rss feed and subscribe to it, or require admin approval for all posts.

i’m using the plugin on a couple of sites, and i’m going to have to double check tommarow, ’cause i’m getting tired, but i think the way i did it was to use the register_sidebars(etc function instead of multiple register_sidebar functions.

you’ve got a couple of options,

– if you create a “page” using the dashboard under “write->page” you can place the code in there (don’t use the “fancy text” editor though), I would create my own css classes for the form’s styling and put those in my theme’s style.css file.

– if you just want to “permanantly” add one of those forms to say all “single post” pages, then just paste the form into single.php for your theme where you want the form, ditto css info.

– same idea for sidebar.php

it really depends on where/when you want the forms to appear as far as where/how to use the form code.

i was thinking you might have just created some static html pages of your own which might not work as easily as creating a “page” through the WP admin interface.

yes, you’re using kubrick based theme, author info is commented out as I mentioned. YOu’ll see where it tells you to uncomment, etc.

url problem — looks like your host (is it free or something ?) is using some kind of “iframe” setup, this is why you’re having the url problems, also the host company looks like they’re adding popup windows. i suggest finding a more wordpress freindly host for your site.

I’ve done a number of projects similar/exactly like what you’re looking to do. my email addy is chradil at comcast dot net if you need some help.

what’s your url ?

depending on what the site is “based” on for example if it’s a “blog” based site, etc. There are a couple of different approaches which will make your life much easier.

For example, for “blog” based sites, I do a WP install in the site root, then I use xoops as the cms for the rest of the site, then instead of running a standalone phpBB for example I’ll use the phpBB xoops module port, coppermine photo gallery port as a xoops mod, etc. same for mediawiki.

If the site isn’t “blog” based, I’ll do a “root” install of xoops and use the WP 2.x.x xoops module as opposed to a standalone install of WP.

my approach to all of this is pretty flexible, it requires some upfront work to get everything xhtml/css valid, and themed/styled correctly, but once that’s done you have a really powerfull platform which you can add and enhance very quickly.

if you have a site that’s been running already with lots of existing content in the applications you’ve mentioned, getting things set up correctly is a bit more difficult, but still worth the effort. I’m helping some friends in the coming weeks move a REALLY busy blog site to this type configuration.

if you zip and send me the style.css and search.php files for your theme, I’ll take a look.

I used to host my servers on my own network/T3’s, etc., I gave all that up in around 2000, and have been using CI Host dedicated servers ever since. The support is fantastic, and with the dedicated servers at least, you can do anything you want. They also have “shared” unix hosting packages which would be great for WP sites not needing a dedicated server ot those not needing more than one site, etc. http://www.cihost.com

ps. if you do decide to switch, use hradil.us as your “promo”/refferal code and they’ll give you some kind of discounts, etc.

what type of widget ? when you say “page i’ve created” are you talking about a “page” you created from the WP dashboard or just an html page you created separately and added to the site ?
