In reply to: Permalink and Graphics problemDue to the re-writing that happens when you’ve got permalinks enabled, it’s best to always use absolute paths for your images from “/” instead of “../”.

In reply to: Not Able To Login AdminCan you view posts on your blog? Or are you having problems there? If you wp-config.php file is not valid you will get a message that WP couldn’t connect to the database.

In reply to: RSS feedsThey look fine. To get images, just slap together some <img> tags and put the link around the image and you’re all set. Nothing fancy there.

In reply to: Regenerating RSS filesThe RSS output is generated dynamically when the <your-website.com>/feed URL is accessed by anyone. So whenever anyone visits that URL on your site, they will get the latest entries in RSS form.
Looking at the RSS contents right now just seems to largely show the Permalinks to your articles and some excerpts.
Check your settings in the Admin panel.

In reply to: DreamHost and Receiving PingbacksFor those on Dreamhost or other hosts that have disabled allow_url_fopen and want to use the WP Plugin Manager, I have made it work with CURL and have emailed the plugin author about releasing it.
Thus far, it’s been almost a week and half and I haven’t heard back from the author yet, so not sure what to do with my mods. 🙂

In reply to: Where are my themes?If you are indeed using WP-1.5, then go into /wp-content/themes and you will see Default and Classic directories there. The default is the theme based on Kubrick, while Classic is the ..well..classic theme. 🙂
You can add additional themes to that directory and then go into your Admin panel and Presentation and choose your theme.

In reply to: No automatic logout?One of the first things I did was go and shorten the life of the cookies used by WP to about one hour. This has the effect of logging me off after one hour.
Go into the /wp-admin directory and search for “setcookie()” and change the number of seconds there to 3600 for one hour or whatever else you want.

In reply to: Looking for an image plugin where i can pull images directly off my deskopTo make images available on your blog, you’re going to have to FTP it to the site. You can use an offline blogging tool like Ecto, w.bloggar and so on to upload your images as well as publish your posts.
If a plugin was to be made, it would only allow you to FTP images to your host.

In reply to: WP-pluging manager suddenly not workingI’ve modified WPPM to work with CURL and have tested it on my Dreamhost account and it works fine. I’ve contacted Dr. Dave about releasing the modifications, but haven’t heard back yet.
I made the modifications to v1.7.0b which, as far as I know, is the latest.
I could/would release the mods once Dr. Dave OK’s it..

In reply to: Spam Karma – Deleted CommentsNot sure about the profanity words.
As far as the comments go, go to Manage->Comments and click on “Only spam” and see if the comments you want show up there, if they do approve them. If they were silently deleted by Spam Karma, then you might not be able to get them back.

In reply to: Spam Karma – Deleted CommentsIn the Admin panel go to Options->Spam Karma and you should see the latest IP’s and URL’s that were added. If you recognize URL’s and IP’s that are safe, uncheck them and update the list.
That should help a little, also if your visitors are being proxies it tends to cause problems. Disabling the option: “The comment must be made from the same IP address as what requested the comment form.” should help with that, but then it opens you up for other attacks..
