In fact, the rest of us can’t even see that page yet. Once you get your confirmation email and submit the actual plug-in via Subversion it will display normally. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Image Rotating in a single post](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-rotator-1/) * [Eric Mann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/) * (@ericmann) * [16 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/image-rotator-1/#post-1285215) * I built a plug-in some time ago that does this using WordPress shortcodes in posts and pages.

WordPress also automatically re-sizes large images to create smaller sizes and thumbnails when you upload. To see what your settings are, log in and go to Settings >> Media. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Closed Comment Was Posted To- How?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/closed-comment-was-posted-to-how/) * [Eric Mann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/) * (@ericmann) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/closed-comment-was-posted-to-how/#post-1335003) * I just tested this on my own site and found a bug that allows tech-savvy users to create comments for _any_ post on your site if they know the post ID. While there’s no immediate fix for this, the safest thing to do is make sure you’re not using the default permalink setup (blog.url/?p=102) because this exposes your post ID to the user. * To change your permalinks log in to your site and go to Settings >> Permalink. * I’m also reporting this to the dev community so we can start working on a fix. * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Disapear From Search](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disapear-from-search/) * [Eric Mann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/) * (@ericmann) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/disapear-from-search/#post-1334997) * Log in to the site and go to Settings >> Privacy.

It’s a two-step process: 1. Install the [PDF and PPT viewer plug-in](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/pdf-and-ppt-viewer/) on your site. 2. Upload your PDF into the Media Library * Create a new post/page. Click the “Add Media” button (it looks like a star) to the far right of the Upload/Insert section to upload your PDF. Make a note of the file URL. Now put it into the page using the PDF and PPT viewer shortcode: * `[pdf-ppt-viewer href="http://domain.tld/wp-content/uploads/2010/01/YourPDFFile. pdf" width="400" height="500"]` * You can see it in action [on my site](http://eamann.com/2009/10/social-media-and-marketing-plan/). * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Windows Live Writer – Image ID errors](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/windows-live-writer-image-id-errors/) * Thread Starter [Eric Mann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/) * (@ericmann) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/windows-live-writer-image-id-errors/#post-1301472) * The problem seems to have worked itself out. For some reason, only the posts with IDs in the 1200-1300 range were affected. Still trying to figure out why… * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Windows Live Writer](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/windows-live-writer-1/) * [Eric Mann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/) * (@ericmann) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/windows-live-writer-1/#post-1320117) * [@dckidd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dckidd/) The link takes me to a storefront, not a blog … but in any case it looks like that’s part of the Live Writer test post that it automatically creates on setup (particularly since it’s p=3 …) I’d recommend deleting that post and trying to post again. Let us know if it works. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Can’t setup WP to use Live Writer, iPhone App etc](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-setup-wp-to-use-live-writer-iphone-app-etc/) * [Eric Mann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/) * (@ericmann) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/cant-setup-wp-to-use-live-writer-iphone-app-etc/#post-1253639) * [@thatsnotme](https://wordpress.org/support/users/thatsnotme/) I tried going to that URL directly, and it seems to be working. What are the exact steps you’re taking in Live Writer to try to set things up? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Problem with Live Writer and WordPress uploading pictures](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-live-writer-and-wordpress-uploading-pictures/) * [Eric Mann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/) * (@ericmann) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problem-with-live-writer-and-wordpress-uploading-pictures/#post-1328397) * Martin, * You’re not doing anything wrong. When Live Writer uploads the images, it automatically creates a down-sized thumbnail image (your first screenshot) and stores it on the site. * What you’re experiencing in the second screenshot is actually a _feature_ of Live Writer, not a bug. WordPress has certain default image sizes for thumbnails, medium-size, and large-size (Go to Settings >> Media to see what they’re set to). Live Writer has its own default settings. In addition, you can re-size images in Live Writer, and it will upload both the re-sized _and_ original size to the server. * At times, you’ll end up with several versions of the same image, both the Live Writer _and_ WordPress default sizes and whatever size you told Live Writer to make the image. * So no, you’re not doing anything wrong and no, it’s not a bug. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Installing to an add-on domain – search indexing?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installing-to-an-add-on-domain-search-indexing/) * [Eric Mann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/) * (@ericmann) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/installing-to-an-add-on-domain-search-indexing/#post-1328897) * Log in to WordPress and go to Settings >> General on the dashboard. Both “WordPress address” and “Blog address” should be “[http://www.the-composers-corner.com”](http://www.the-composers-corner.com”); * I’m guessing they’re both set to the original url (www.seanbeeson.com/thecomposerscorner) which is why your site isn’t “holding” the domain. * **Before you make this change, though, make sure you have access to phpMyAdmin so you can change things back if something goes wrong!** * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [FLV that autoplays and has no controls](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/flv-that-autoplays-and-has-no-controls/) * [Eric Mann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/) * (@ericmann) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/flv-that-autoplays-and-has-no-controls/#post-1326446) * Here’s a good online media converter that handles several formats: [http://media-convert.com/](http://media-convert.com/) * Here are instructions for embedding an SWF file in a web page: [http://www.w3schools.com/flash/flash_inhtml.asp](http://www.w3schools.com/flash/flash_inhtml.asp) * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Use same Thumbnail for more than one post](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/use-same-thumbnail-for-more-than-one-post/) * [Eric Mann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/) * (@ericmann) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/use-same-thumbnail-for-more-than-one-post/#post-1326383) * There is, but it seems to be more in-depth than I have time to get into right now. For starters, check out the [Custom Thumbnails](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/custom-thumbnails/) plug-in and [the author’s discussion](http://xplus3.net/2008/11/17/custom-thumbnails-wordpress-plugin/) on how he built the system to generate custom thumbnails. * If you want your own solution, you’ll need to hook in to the ‘image_downsize’ filter, though I’m not 100% sure what you’d use with it … but I can research it later and get back to you. * It looks like you can tell WordPress to replace _any_ thumbnail with one you specify, but whether you want this applied to _all_ thumbnails or just specific ones is something you’ll have to explain. * So basically, what’s your ultimate goal here? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Site crashes in IE 7 only](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-crashes-in-ie-7-only/) * [Eric Mann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/) * (@ericmann) * [16 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/site-crashes-in-ie-7-only/#post-1326381) * I was able to load it in IE7 in both standards and quirks mode without any problems or crashing. Have you tried loading it on other machines? How exactly is the site “crashing?” Viewing 15 replies - 466 through 480 (of 681 total) [←](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/replies/page/31/?output_format=md) [1](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/replies/?output_format=md) [2](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/replies/page/2/?output_format=md) [3](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/replies/page/3/?output_format=md)… [31](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/replies/page/31/?output_format=md) 32 [33](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/replies/page/33/?output_format=md)… [44](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/replies/page/44/?output_format=md) [45](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/replies/page/45/?output_format=md) [46](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/replies/page/46/?output_format=md) [→](https://wordpress.org/support/users/ericmann/replies/page/33/?output_format=md)
