Many thanks for your response, and information.
It’s a bit unfortunate that time of day can’t be specified, but in the absence of that capability, the “alternate method” is straightforward enough.

In reply to: CSS "leaking through" onto pageFollowup on myself and for perpetuity
While doing an earlier edit in header.php I accidentally pasted some css code (was interrupted by a phone call & lost concentration). I meant to do Ctrl+O (“save” in nano) but instead and like a real numpty, pasted then saved. Fat finger error in other words.
The matter is resolved. I need to kick myself in the head.
Fank ewe one ‘n all.

In reply to: [WP-Spotify] WP-Spotify Duplicate entry '' for key 1@doctorcilantro: Are you sure you emptied (“truncated” if working from the command line) the db table wp_spotify before you installed the fixed plugin? It sounds as if there’s still something in that table.

In reply to: [WP-Spotify] WP-Spotify Duplicate entry '' for key 1Matt Davies has updated this plugin to fix the issue. You can download the replacement (wp-spotify 1.1) here: http://www.mattdavies.gb.net/?p=141 or from @katreyuk who also kindly made it available on his site http://www.peorparaelsol.com/2011/10/09/solucion-a-problemas-con-wp-spotify-en-wordpress-3-x-wp-spotify-fix/
A huge thanks to Matt Davies for fixing this!!!!

In reply to: [WP-Spotify] WP-Spotify Duplicate entry '' for key 1Same happening for me. One of the wp-spotify tables in the db needs to auto-increment, problem is, knowing which one!
Using phpMyAdmin I can browse table structure, but it’s a hit ‘n miss effort to figure out WHICH is the primary key, and should therefore auto-increment.If I find out (more by sheer luck than knowledge) I’ll post the result.

In reply to: How come I never get an answer about WP’s awful editor?For what it’s worth – I second this complaint.
I’ve tried enabling/disabling the <p> + </ br> option in TinyMCE settings page, and just for yucks ‘n giggles tried FalconsFan code mod.
Sadly neither produced the desired result.
Oh dear, I do wish this could be fixed, it’s madly annoying.

In reply to: upgrade – site OK but dashboard inaccessibleSOLVED
The problem was twofold:
a) permissions – I looked at another blog setup on the same server and set wp-admin permissions (and files therein) to be the same. Once again, that has never (AFAIK) happened before, but hey, it did this time.This resulted in the upgrade.php page becoming visible. Now we’re getting somewhere.
b) Database needed upgrading…..
THIS time, upgrade.php emitted the “Database Upgrade Required” message – and, as expected, click “ze button” and we’re back in business.I hope this is helpful to someone with the same/similar problem who may be following this thread.
@italianst4 thanks for diving in on this and – in effect – making me look at things yet again. As is so often the case, an extra pair of eyes was hugely helpful.

In reply to: upgrade – site OK but dashboard inaccessible@italianst4
The upgrade was done within the shell.
wget http://wordpress.org/latest.tar.gz
thentar -xvzf latest.tar.gz cd wordpress cp $files, $dirsrenamed wp-config-sample.php to wp-config.php and filled in necessary values ($db_host, $db_name, $db_pass) – in other words a wholly “normal” setup.
Just to be sure, I re-downed latest.tar.gz and did the procedure once again a few minutes ago in accordance with your suggestion. Sadly I have to report exactly the same result.
Ah well, at least it’s repeatable.
My thanks for following up on this BTW.

In reply to: external hyperlinks not clickable within named anchor textMy apologies, I had to move the thing over the weekend. There was so much stuff on a single page that load times were appalling.
It can now be found at http://www/dogshit.eu/glossary/r/#regulation-t, and the text slab is now there, and works – because:

If I put in the hyperlink manually, it works. If I use TinyMCE “hyperlink injector” things get weird.

I wish I understood the underlying cause of this behavior….Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: external hyperlinks not clickable within named anchor textThanks for the replies. I may have been a bit more opaque in my description than was helpful. My apologies, such was not my intention.
OK, dealing with the section which is giving me the problem…
Looking at the URL:
http://www.dogshit.eu/glossary/#regulation-t
brings us to a slab of text;This is known as the initial margin. (For all other Regulation A-Z, please see FRB All Regulations Listing)
Now the area of concern is the latter “FRB All Regulations Listing” –
here’s the code, and it should be perfectly OK, yet oddly it’s not;
(For all other Regulation A-Z, please see <a href="http://www.federalreserve.gov/bankinforeg/reglisting.htm">FRB All Regulations Listing</a>)
The hyperlink isn’t “hot” (clickable/active/live/whatever) and it ought to be of course, since it’s a properly formed URL, and is correctly enclosed in double quotes, has correct opening and closing tags and so on……
two notes: anywhere else outside of the slab of named anchor text – anywhere anytime, URL’s are utterly trivial….it’s just not an “issue” (I sometimes think we can hand code URL’s in our sleep)….but a URL occurring within a region of this nature just doesn’t work – I have successfully replicated the problem in test pages and posts.
With thanks for riding this problem thus far, & TIA,

In reply to: Uploaded images are rendered as landscape viewFollow Up
I don’t know why, I don’t know how…but reinstalling my theme fixed this issue. Thus, it’s now marked as resolved.one thing you could try if you have command line access is to access mysql directly,
mysql> show databases;
mysql> use <whatever_you_called_this_db>;
mysql> show tables;look through tables until you find one that looks like users, let’s assume it’s called users for now…
mysql> select * fromusers;and unless the p/w is stored encrypted, chances are that you might be able to view the login/pw in plain text
Your mileage may sure-as-hell vary but it’s definitely worth a try
Hope this helps some
