  • check your theme’s index.php, page.php and single.php, the author information is probably in there but commented out, just remove the html comments and you should be good to go.

    i can’t seem to load your url to be sure that’s the issue.

    unfortunately, as with many plugins this one seems like a graet plugin, however it’s very poorly documented. the author does have the following (only a little helpful) faq page which might help you –

    if you’re using the sidebars widget plugin, you shouldn’t need to make changes to functions.php. you should only need to place the proper calls to the sidebars in your theme’s pages. unless I’m not understanding the problem correctly.

    URL ?

    url please ?

    to really resolve the issues, and ensure that future changes, additions, etc work correctly, begin by addressing –

    then for the css, have a look at –

    i just went to my server and did a check of the reverse dns for your ip address, here are the results –

    I do most of my work at home, and have a comcast cable modem, so for example, I know that comcast kills all mail where reverse dns doesn’t match the senders domain, so if you tried to send an email to me (chradil at comcast dot net) from your domain, I would not recieve it.

    many ISPs/Hosting providers have firewalls/routers, etc set up in this manner since many spammers spoof the “from” address. Comcast for example admits that not only is this configuration not the “ideal” solution, but it does in fact inconvenience many innocent emailers. However, when you register a domain name, the hosting providers also need to do a better job of keeping accurate reverse dns information. I use CI Host for a number of dedicated servers, and by default, reverse dns is something they typically “skip”, and I have yet to take the time to even get a couple of my domains configured properly, which they will do if you request it.

    in the answer section for the reverse lookup of your ip/domain, it should simply state your domain name.

    many mail servers (like possibly the server used by wordpress.org/com) and the networks they run on are now filtering emails they consider to be “spam” by doing a reverse dns lookup on the “from domain” (the part after the @), so, if reverse dns is not configured properly for ianbrandt.com, that would cause the exact issue you are describing. the mail is being “eaten” by an isp’s network as it is considered spam, so it never arrives at your server.

    for the login box, i just explained that to another user, see this post:

    sorry, I posted an answer to a different post here, i’ll get back to this one shortly.

    one other thing, i almost forgot, check your style sheet, it looks like your last declaration (a img i think) was missing the closing bracket, so I couldn’t even run the style check at first. a missing bracket could have unpredictible results in almost any browser.

    In reply to: Why? Help!

    when working on sites like this, I like to get everything in terms of html/xhtml and css clean and valid, this way when I need to make changes, enhancements, etc, I know that my basic code is valid, thus ruling that out as an issue, and eliminating most cross browser relates problems automatically.

    if you really want to clean up your theme/site, here are a couple of links to get you started –

    http://validator.w3.org/check?uri=http%3A%2F%2Fpeneloperoom.com%2F

    and for the css, here’s a report on that as well –
    http://www.hradil.us/sandbox/penelope.html

    to get the most out of your css, I have found that using the “long hand” method of coding, and using “standards compliant” methods, you can accomplish all of the same things, and avoid most of the problems.

    what’s the url ?

    one other thing, i’d incorporate this link under the form:
    <a href="<?php bloginfo('wpurl'); ?>/wp-login.php"><?php _e('Login') ?></a>

    if i were using the registration form.

    and this link:
    <a href="<?php bloginfo('wpurl'); ?>/wp-register.php"><?php _e('Register') ?></a>

    under the form if I were using the login form.

    if you want to add a login box somewhere, you’ll just need to paste:

    <form name="loginform" id="loginform" action="wp-login.php" method="post">
    <p><label><?php _e('Username:') ?><br /><input type="text" name="log" id="log" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars(stripslashes($user_login), 1); ?>" size="20" tabindex="1" /></label></p>
    <p><label><?php _e('Password:') ?><br /> <input type="password" name="pwd" id="pwd" value="" size="20" tabindex="2" /></label></p>
    <p>
    <label><input name="rememberme" type="checkbox" id="rememberme" value="forever" tabindex="3" />
    <?php _e('Remember me'); ?></label></p>
    <p class="submit">
    <input type="submit" name="submit" id="submit" value="<?php _e('Login'); ?> &raquo;" tabindex="4" />
    <input type="hidden" name="redirect_to" value="<?php echo $redirect_to; ?>" />
    </p>
    </form>

    where you want the login box, I would create a custom “div” class in my css and put the form in a <div> with that class, and to style it to my liking.

    if you want to “encourage registration” and put registration boxes where ever you’d like to you just need to paste :
    <form method="post" action="wp-register.php" id="registerform">
    <p><input type="hidden" name="action" value="register" />
    <label for="user_login"><?php _e('Username:') ?></label><br /> <input type="text" name="user_login" id="user_login" size="20" maxlength="20" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($user_login); ?>" /><br /></p>
    <p><label for="user_email"><?php _e('E-mail:') ?></label><br /> <input type="text" name="user_email" id="user_email" size="25" maxlength="100" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($user_email); ?>" /></p>
    <p><?php _e('A password will be emailed to you.') ?></p>
    <p class="submit"><input type="submit" value="<?php _e('Register') ?> &raquo;" id="submit" name="submit" /></p>
    </form>

    where you’d like the registration form to appear, ditto the <div> info above.

    I’ve noticed some weird display issues at both the WP support forums and in the codex (especially the edit boxes), even using IE 6.0.

    I uninstalled 7.0b a couple of weeks ago, even though MS has really gone a long way to add complete support for w3c standards, etc. right now there are LOTS of quirks, I did a bunch of development for a client about a month ago and was using that as my browser, needless to say, the css was a mess in EVERY other browser, including IE 6, so until they get the rendering quirks resolved I wouldn’t reccomend using IE 7.0 on your main machine, and only using it on a separate box and for testing only right now.

    I really like it, especially the tabs, etc. but I’m not going near it ’till i’m sure standards support is working correctly.

    As for the wp site and codex, I’m just using firefox right now, instead of dealing with the quirks in IE 6 i’ve been noticing.
