If your IP is on a blackhole list( who knows, it might be!) visit my [blog](http://www.ioerror.us/) and see it in action. Hopefully I’ll be able to release it soon. Also be sure to check out my self-contained [SpamAssassin plugin](http://www.ioerror.us/wp-spamassassin/) if you have access to a SpamAssassin server. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Pingback/trackback not being posted](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pingbacktrackback-not-being-posted/) * Thread Starter [error](https://wordpress.org/support/users/error/) * (@error) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pingbacktrackback-not-being-posted/#post-124851) * As a followup: It seems to be only pingbacks.

This was being caused by LaughingLizard’s ThreeStrikesSpam plugin. I’ve temporarily disabled it until I have time to fix it. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [‘Pages’ and Permalinks](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-and-permalinks/) * [error](https://wordpress.org/support/users/error/) * (@error) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/pages-and-permalinks/#post-124666) * Your web host will have to make the .htaccess file writable by the web server process. This isn’t something you can do yourself. I recommend you have the uid set to your uid, and the gid set to the gid that the Web server runs under, with permissions of 0660. * You do need to update the .htaccess file every time you make a new post/page or change a slug. If you can’t do this, and your web host won’t cooperate, you can add /index.php/ into the permalink structure and WP will handle it that way instead. For instance: /wordpress/index.php/%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/ * If you do this, everything will go through /index.php without needing rewrite rules, but your permalinks will be a lot longer. * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Google ads](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-ads-2/) * [error](https://wordpress.org/support/users/error/) * (@error) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/google-ads-2/#post-124661) * I used the Moose Candy plugin to place the Google ads and nevermind the alignment, people are still clicking on them. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Spammers of the World, I salute you.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spammers-of-the-world-i-salute-you/) * [error](https://wordpress.org/support/users/error/) * (@error) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spammers-of-the-world-i-salute-you/page/2/#post-124111) * I’m trying to be somewhat conservative with spam blocking because I don’t want to deny commenting to a legitimate user, and I’m not quite ready to make everyone register to post comments, or make them type numbers off an image. * After the massive comment spams of the other night I installed a modified version of [John Sinteur](http://weblog.sinteur.com/)‘s [blackhole solution](http://weblog.sinteur.com/index.php?p=8106) which I’ve hacked to check multiple blackhole lists and if someone tries to comment, they get redirected to the “why am I listed in this blackhole” page for whichever list they were found on. So far no further comment spam or false positives, but I’m keeping an eye on it. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [\’ backslash appears before apostrophe in comments](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backslash-appears-before-apostrophe-in-comments/) * Thread Starter [error](https://wordpress.org/support/users/error/) * (@error) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/backslash-appears-before-apostrophe-in-comments/#post-124658) * As a follow up, this also happens with double quotation marks ” as well; they show up as \” when the user saves their comment. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Spammers of the World, I salute you.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spammers-of-the-world-i-salute-you/) * [error](https://wordpress.org/support/users/error/) * (@error) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/spammers-of-the-world-i-salute-you/#post-124034) * 764 comment spams in one night last night. That’s a record at my site, where I usually get one or two a week.

Sorry. Ignore whatever I posted; it probably won’t work. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [stattraq and 1.5 alpha 6](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stattraq-and-15-alpha-6/) * [error](https://wordpress.org/support/users/error/) * (@error) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/stattraq-and-15-alpha-6/#post-124028) * [Contact the author](http://www.randypeterman.com/StatTraq/index.php). I looked at the stattraq source, and I think the changes to get this to work with 1.5 are going to be non-trivial. Probably a good evening/weekend exercise if “Learning more PHP” is on your to-do list. * In terms of other advice, normal Web site analysis tools like webalizer, analog, etc., should work fine with WordPress. They won’t be tightly integrated, of course, but they’ll get you the same basic information. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Different Homepage while keeping site in WP](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-homepage-while-keeping-site-in-wp/) * [error](https://wordpress.org/support/users/error/) * (@error) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/different-homepage-while-keeping-site-in-wp/#post-124026) * See [this poster](http://wordpress.org/support/topic.php?id=19722) who wants to do the same thing. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [internal server error in WordPress MU](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/internal-server-error-in-wordpress-mu/) * [error](https://wordpress.org/support/users/error/) * (@error) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/internal-server-error-in-wordpress-mu/#post-124024) * You can leave that out. Better yet don’t bother with htaccess.dist at all; use the .htaccess file provided in Options » Permalinks. If you don’t see one there, then WP is automatically managing your .htaccess file and you don’t need to do anything. If you do see it there, copy and paste it into your .htaccess file, replacing any old rules you may have had. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Can WordPress (alpha) work this way?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-wordpress-alpha-work-this-way/) * [error](https://wordpress.org/support/users/error/) * (@error) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-wordpress-alpha-work-this-way/#post-124022) * I think you’d have to do two installations in order to accomplish that, and that seems rather silly to me. * If you want to have a main site, where the blog is a subsection of the site, I’ve seen this before, but the rest of the site was managed with some other CMS, rather than with WordPress. * I’m running 2005-01-01 and have been running the nightly builds for some time now, and I also have static pages. They are all in the same directory though. There’s no need to have WP in a subdirectory unless you simply don’t want WP to be the main page. You could do that simply by removing the rewrite rule for/ or changing it to something else. * Just some things to think about. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Default theme, problem with page templates?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-theme-problem-with-page-templates/) * [error](https://wordpress.org/support/users/error/) * (@error) * [21 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/default-theme-problem-with-page-templates/#post-124020) * I personally place all my files in my own folder under /wp-content/themes.
