In reply to: My footer is being sucked up into my sidebarThis is not really resolved, however, I have put in an old backup of the sidebar.php file. It re-introduces some problems that I was trying to fix in the first place. But those problems seem to be less destructive than the ones I ended up with.
So for now, consider this thread dead. Thanks for your help.

In reply to: Comments not processingI know this is pedantic, but is she entering a valid email address in the comment area? I have friends who use yahoo and aol who write down their email address as: whatever@yahoo, or whatever@aol and forget to put the .com on the end. It is worth a check.
Other than that, I don’t know. I have never had any problems with my gravatar address.

In reply to: My footer is being sucked up into my sidebarThe very last </div> closes the very first <div> of the file, the <div id=”sidecolumn”>. The one before that closes the <div class=”sidebar”> 8 lines previous. Unless you are seeing one that my glazed over eyes can’t see anymore.
These are in the sidebar.php file.
I tried removing each one of those individually and it did not fix the problem. I did not see what new problems were introduced in the process.
Thanks for taking a stab at this.

In reply to: How to poat videosNo, I don’t know about friend connect, but I am sure you can get help if you start another thread with specific questions.
I don’t know if this would work, but you may be able to change the height/width value in the embed code for the videos to make them smaller. You would want to keep the same ratio or it will get wonky looking.

In reply to: How Do I Uninstall WP Files?Checking with your host is probably the best way to do it. But, in filezilla there may be a right-click option that will let you choose the Properties of your files and directories. (It has been a very long time since I used filezilla, so I am just guessing here). You may be able to change them with filezilla. But the host can probably sort you out immediately.

In reply to: Pictures not showing upI don’t have a WordPress.com hosted blog, but according to this page you should have an upgrade tab in your dashboard. But from what you say above you have already tried that.

In reply to: Pictures not showing upgwyman888,
Uh, Unless your site is hosted at WordPress.com I don’t think this is the place to ask that question. You need to find out who your web host is and ask them.However, we can take your phone number and post it to all kinds of malicious web sites. You may want to remove that. 🙂
Terry5578, We have all done silly things like that. Don’t sweat it.

In reply to: Pictures not showing upCan you tell us what it is so that others with the same problem can figure it out?
I had problems with an image file the other day. It was permissions related. I was able to change the permissions and everything cleared up.

In reply to: How Do I Uninstall WP Files?Hmmm. As long as you have access, and rights, to the folders that the files are in, then you should be able to delete them. Seems like the problem may be at the web host (I am thinking that maybe they have FTP set to allow you to write but not delete). Is there a file manager program that they have inside of a control panel (i.e., cPanel)? That might give you more control than FTP (filezilla).
I am not sure what to say from there.

In reply to: Automatic blog posting?You mean “scraping” other blogs for content?
http://featheredfibers.wordpress.com/2007/12/08/blog-plagiarism-or-blog-scraping-what-to-do/Yes, it is illegal if you are scraping copyrighted content and presenting it as your own. You can be sued for it.
However, if you are talking about writing a post and having it show up on your site at some point in the future, then you can do that through WP when you write the post. You can set it to actually post on a certain day and time.

In reply to: How to poat videosI don’t know how to do it with the auto-embedding, but if you go to the YouTube page of the video you want you will see a box with the word <Embed> under the video. Click on that and choose the video size you want (as well as other options). In the little box above the options you will see a line of code that starts with <object…
Copy that code.
Go to your blog post editor and you must choose the HTML tab (not the visual tab) at the top of the post box. Then you can paste the code that you copied from YouTube.
Unless something has changed recently you need to always edit that post with the HTML tab selected, otherwise WordPress will munge your embedded code when you use the visual editor again. That only applies for that post. Not all posts on your site.

In reply to: How Do I Uninstall WP Files?You used Filezilla to upload the files to your webhost? And now want to delete the files off of the webhost’s machine using Filezilla?
Filezilla is a program that lets you upload files to a folder on a web server. So there is nothing actually “in” Filezilla. You need to connect to the web server with Filezilla and delete the files from there.
That make sense?
