PHP is after all a programming language interpreted/ compiled and run on the fly, often optimised by being compiled on first run after any changes. * Forum:

downloads, renders, and collapses to the list of pages, a link to each, a down pointing triangle, click to toggle hover, with some browsers I can get a section to open momentarily, then it immediately collapses again. * Happens with Safari, Chrome, Firefox, Opera on my mac and even with Internet explorer via a parallels VM, so I suspect a problem in your java script. * Forum:

this, having examined the source in a more leisurely manner, but with WP 3.3.1 it has some BAD consequences that need sorting Also I think it need to be made clear whether the plugin should be network activated or not, my opinion is that it should be activated per site. * It also seems to be persistent, when deactivated, but that could be a cache effect from my browser, I think it also needs a action to at least remove the menu when deactivated. * The problem I have with it at present that a series of tabs, buttons and links in the network part of the dashboard have acquired a rogue id value. e.g. [http://example.org/wp-admin/network/site-info.php?id=2717](http://example.org/wp-admin/network/site-info.php?id=2717) [http://example.org/wp-admin/network/site-users.php?id=2717](http://example.org/wp-admin/network/site-users.php?id=2717) [http://example.org/wp-admin/network/site-themes.php?id=2717](http://example.org/wp-admin/network/site-themes.php?id=2717) [http://example.org/wp-admin/network/site-settings.php?id=2717](http://example.org/wp-admin/network/site-settings.php?id=2717) Also the content of the site-settings page cannot be accessed at all !!! * true you can get to the correct pages by hacking the URI to have the correct id (mine have an upper limit of 12 at present) but you still get an error message when finishing the settings update and have to re-hack the id to see the updated values. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [WP-reCAPTCHA V.

[@geeb10](https://wordpress.org/support/users/geeb10/) you are hosted at wordpress. com you should be asking wordpress.com specific questions at forums.wordpress. com NOT wordpress.org/support, although the answers are extremely similar. You should simply change you display name NOT you username. If you were self-hosted or on paid hosting and have access to your database the username can be altered using database editing tools – which is often required to change the default to something other than “admin” – the default when you setup with hosting under your control. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP-Optimize – Cache, Compress images, Minify & Clean database to boost page speed & performance] [Plugin: WP-Optimize] Network Activation](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-optimize-network-activatino/) * [DavyB](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davyb/) * (@davyb) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-optimize-network-activatino/#post-2090472) * That modification should be extremely simple, if network activated the wp-optimize menu should only appear on the network dashboard not rather than as at present where it shows up on each sites dashboard but in fact appears to do the full job from any sub- site. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Co-Authors Plus] [Plugin: Co-Authors Plus] plugin clash with admin-management-xtended](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-co-authors-plus-plugin-clash-with-admin-management-xtended/) * Thread Starter [DavyB](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davyb/) * (@davyb) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-co-authors-plus-plugin-clash-with-admin-management-xtended/#post-2535502) * well that explains a lot – I had not dug into the source of either plugin shame, because its often more convenient to edit the author etc. as metadata as a quick edit than dig into and edit the post/page especially when there are multiple posts to update. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[LightStart - Maintenance Mode, Coming Soon and Landing Page Builder] [Plugin: WP Maintenance Mode] On multisite – lets any network user in](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-maintenance-mode-on-multisite-lets-any-network-user-in/) * Thread Starter [DavyB](https://wordpress.org/support/users/davyb/) * (@davyb) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-wp-maintenance-mode-on-multisite-lets-any-network-user-in/#post-2533024) * possibly its the defaulted wp_admin in the excludes setting allowing me, as a certain test user with very few capabilities, to see more of the backend than I was expecting but have now changed.
