In reply to: Change Login CookieSearch for calls to “setcookie” in the wordpress code, you should find them in wp-login.php file and a file in the /wp-admin directory. The number you see there is the number of seconds after which the cookie is to expire. By default, the value is insanely large, just bring that down to 600 for 10 minutes.

I like that the contents are “framed” ..

In reply to: wp-admin/post.php appears to crash web serverDoes this “stall” only happen when you post entries, or does it happen when you do other things as well?
If only during posting and possibly editing, then go into Options->Writing and see what you have under Update Services. The more places you have to ping, the longer it is going to take to post your entries.
By default, it might be going to rpc.pingomatic.com. Remove it and see if your posts go faster.

In reply to: How can I display only the most popular categories?It is entirely likely that you’ll have to change the functionality of wp_list_cats. Look at /wp-includes/template-functions-category.php.
There is an option that allows you to hide empty categories, so the code is already counting the number of posts in each category. You’ll have to augment that portion of the code to determine the top 10 categories there and return/list them.

In reply to: WordPress Classic: Just modifying CSS?Absolutely, you can modify that. Though, what I’d suggest is to take the contents of the classic directory under /wp-content/themes and make a new directory in the same directory that you name differently.
Now make your changes in the new directory and under the Presentation tab in the Admin panel, select this new “theme” as your default. This way you can modify it to your hearts content while leaving the classic theme around as a reference, if need be.

In reply to: how to reset?Brainwidth speaks the truth. “Upgrading” your current installation with a stock version of WP will leave your username/password/posts/configuration intact and will only return WP to it’s default state.
Then you can take the step of bringing back whatever you liked when you were playing around.
Additionally, for the future, you might want to consider creating a second test installation on a subdomain (if your webhost supports that) or subdirectory for you to play around on and if things go badly, you can wipe it away with no qualms.

In reply to: Dazed and Confused over .htaccess and permalinksWhen you place /index.php in your Permalink structure, it effectively makes nice URL’s work without the use of a .htaccess file.
If WP is having a tough time writing to your .htaccess file, just take the contents that the Permalink page gives you, save it to a local file called .htaccess and upload it to your website. After that, perhaps the Manage/files will work as well.

In reply to: 500 internal server errorFirst thing you should do is contact your webhost to see if they can find out what happened.
In this meanwhile, create a new file called
test.htmland put in:
<html>
<body>
Hello World
</body>
</html>
Now point your browser to that file and see if it works, if it does, your web server is probably OK but something might have changed with your host’s PHP configuration perhaps.

In reply to: how to reset?Depends on how far back you want to go back. If you just want to revert any and all changes you’ve made to WP.
Then go to http://www.wordpress.org/download and grab the latest version of WP, delete all files on your website except wp-config.php, upload all the files and run /wp-admin/upgrade.php
If you want to start your blog all over again with no posts at all, then go into any database management program like phpMyAdmin that you might have running on your website, delete your current database, re-create it and do the same steps as above, but run /wp-admin/install.php instead.
Vague questions usually illicit vague responses. Please tell us in a little more detail what you want to accomplish such that you don’t lose things you didn’t want to lose.

Forum: Plugins
In reply to: My problem with WordPress PluginOnly recently has there been a central location to store plugins, but there is still no review of it.
Most of the plugins are written by people when they feel they have a need for something and either nothing exists or what exists doesn’t fit their needs. They can advertise it as they see fit. In MOST cases, most plugins are created for the author’s blog and released as a secondary thing.
That being said, you can always try a plugin in WP 1.5 to see if it works, if it doesn’t, then you can try contacting the author.
RunPHP, which you mention in your post does work fine in WP 1.5, and you will find that many plugins that don’t explicitely mention WP 1.2 or WP 1.5 will work fine as they use generic WP functionality as opposed to anything specific to a version.

In reply to: Can’t Ban HotlinkingAhh all of your .htaccess stuff outside the section that is managed by WP.
You will see comments indicating that there are WP sections. Anything outside of those sections are not touched by WP.
