In reply to: Um, WordPress 2.8 auto upgrade non existant?Hi Luke,
I should have mentioned that I did in fact get it working about 20 hours after this thread. I think it had something to do with the RSS or DB cache, as I cleared my browser cache to no avail.
Anyway, why I am upset is because this thread was locked about 10 minutes after it was posted. I have no proof of it being locked, i just promise you it was (if you look at my twitter account you can see me mention this shortly after it happend). I have contributed over 15 video tutorials supporting WordPress for an extremely large blog and I really just don’t appreciate being censored with no explanation. I was just asking for help.
Anyway, I know this has nothing to do with you, Luke. And I do very much appreciate your reply and advice. Stay well.
Best Regards,
Drew
P.S. I still would appreciate a response from whoever locked this thread. I think I am owed that at least.

In reply to: 2.8 upgraded, but Database Upgrade Required.. WTF?They’ll probably just lock your thread instead of dealing with any issues you are having and trying to help.

In reply to: Um, WordPress 2.8 auto upgrade non existant?Why was this closed and who closed it? Why am I being censored for asking a question
EDIT-I am amazed this post went through. I want to know exactly why this thread was locked for over 14 hours? Which moderator locked it and please give your exact reason for doing so? Much thanks.

In reply to: Upgrade from 2.7.1 to 2.8 failedI just started a topic about upgrading to 2.8 and not having a prompt box and my topic was closed. Best of luck, seems this update was rushed.

In reply to: Writing a form, whats the code to strip javascript?You could use strip_tags. As for your database, it would be wise to at least filter any data coming in from the user with mysql_real_escape_string
Hope that gives you some help.

In reply to: Showhide javascript in page templateI have no idea what your showhide.js file is doing, I’ll also assume you are calling it with the correct paramaters (without seeing it, it is hard to know) but try this:
<div id="wrapper"> <a onclick=”switchMenu(’showhide’);”>What’s New</a> <div id="showhide"> <?php include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/whatsnew.php'); ?> </div> </div>You had regular html inside javascript tags which is why you didnt see the anchor text.
Hope that gives you some insight.

In reply to: Random photo plugin@theMezz-This post is a little dated but oh well 🙂
A quick google search brought these two up, give them a look:
Plugin 1
Plugin 2This could also be done pretty quickly if your comfortable placing some php in your sidebar. A super quick example, not tested:
<?php $randomNumberAd=rand(1,15); if($randomNumberAd <=5 ){ $randomAdUrl = '<img src="path/to/your/image1" alt="Img 1" />'; } elseif($randomNumberAd >= 10) { $randomAdUrl = '<img src="path/to/your/image2" alt="Img 2" />'; } else { $randomAdUrl = '<img src="path/to/your/image3" alt="Img 3" />'; } ?> <!--Usage Below--> <div class='yourAdClass'><?php echo $randomAdUrl; ?></div>Best Regards,
Drew

In reply to: Base Theme for Starting DevelopmentI feel that this by Elliot Stocks is a must have. It is a completely “naked” theme, complete with a css reset, nice file structure, and some extra helpful css components.
