In reply to: Don't want to display page name in address bar@manderson: Great, could you mark this as resolved?
Regarding frames, I wouldn’t use them, it was the description of your problem led to that suggestion. But as you wish to have a private blog, that explanation would have been clearer. Luckily Fonglh had the right idea. I would actually be against the use of frames, again for usability reasons as Fonglh mentioned.

In reply to: spam posts on my blog, cannot find them in dashboardHi,
Did you get this resolved? I didn’t see anything out of place in your .htaccess if you want to remove it.
Also, if it is now resolved, what was the issue if you’ve found the solution?
Thanks,

In reply to: How to increase word count limit in posts?Check your database via phpmyadmin, run a repair table on your wp_posts table. Sometimes the table just needs to be fixed. This could be what is causing your seemingly random display issues. The not displaying of posts could be simply not being able to retrieve it from the db.
If that fixes any rows, run a repair table on the remainder of the database just to ensure the integrity of the db.

In reply to: Website running really slow!@richardwpg – they would hardly throttle the speed of delivery of files would they? I suppose you would have to look at the T&Cs of the hosting, what they do in the event of exceeding bandwidth. I thought they would merely charge you the excess usage, they normally charge for every GB over or so.
@ johnnyflash – The sub pages do seem to load slowly. I tested a page I previously had not visited on your site and thus had no cache version of. It took about 26secs to load completely. The reason being the sheer number of additional components in the background.
http://www.openresources.org/categories/message-series/finance – This was the post I tested, in the background there were 70 files to fetch before the page was fully loaded. That totaled 83kb of data, which is fine, that’s quite small, as there was even a few images included in that, which are very small. Your browser only sends a set number of HTTP requests at once, which increases the load time as all the files are queued.
Looking at the above file, there are a number of share buttons for each post, and a number of posts. Another example here took 2.7mins to load. Of which there was 114 HTTP requests, but only 98kb of Data. It is the volume of requests being made which is slowly down the page load.
Perhaps reducing the share options on the category landing pages, and offering all of the share options on the post page would keep the volume of requests down?
Hope this helps explain the potential issue. Though, I’d like to hear other people’s opinions. Obviously I don’t know everything! I usually try to reduce the number of requests where possible by using sprite images. I’d try to consolidate my CSS files, and try to limit the number of unnecessary files (CSS, Javascript) loading in the background.

In reply to: Sidebar JumpingNo worries.
I’ll pass my bill on for the help so far to that address. 🙂 Shall I address it to Scott Bigfishingshop?
Yeah, I allowed the sidebar could be in a few locations. Hope you can get someone to have a look at it, you could probably get them to upgrade WordPress as well. Though it may break your theme, so be careful upgrading as well as doing so may result in you having to get someone to significantly redevelop your theme, costing you even more money.
All the best,

In reply to: How to increase word count limit in posts?Could you activate the Twenty Eleven theme briefly and see if the problem persists? That way we can rule out it being a theme specific issue or not.

In reply to: How to increase word count limit in posts?What version of WordPress?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How to increase word count limit in posts?There is no word count limit on posts, as in the database it is stored as longtext. This can stored up to 1 trillion characters, will far exceeds what is necessary to store a 500 word post.
This could be something specific to your theme? Are you using one you’ve developed/modified yourself or have you purchased/downloaded one from the internet somewhere?

In reply to: Sidebar JumpingHi Scott,
I can tell you it’s to do with the following javascript.
t = jQuery('#sidebar1').clone(true); jQuery('#sidebar1').remove(); jQuery('td#content').before(t);The above code is, after the page loads, it clones the sidebar, deletes it, and then places the clone before the content. That is why the menu looks like it jumps from one side to the other, as that is what the code above is basically doing.
You could change your theme place the sidebar before the content. As I’m not sure how your theme is constructed, I would not be able to guess where the code for this is. Usually it would be in sidebar.php or footer.php. And I would guess you could move this to header.php, right before the opening td#content. Again, it’s guesswork. If you know someone a bit more familiar with web design, get them to do this for you.
After you do the above, you would need to remove the 3 lines of javascript I added above. They are most likely in your footer.php somewhere.
Hope this helps!

In reply to: Don't want to display page name in address barWhat if you want someone to share your post http://wp.mydomain.com/this-is-the-life-of-bob/ and they cannot because there is no link?
There is no plugin I know of or file you can edit, as this is how the internet/browsers function. It required the URL of the document you wish to view. The browser cannot simply guess which file you wish for it load.
However, you could display websites like how you’ve described using HTML Frames. You would have to redevelop your theme to incorporate Frames, though as I’ve never attempted it. Frames are an older way of developing sites, sometimes using Frames for certain types of sites can be useful, but for general browsing experience, I wouldn’t try to do this.

In reply to: spam posts on my blog, cannot find them in dashboard@govpatel – it has nothing to do with comments.
The .htaccess shouldn’t contain anything too sensitive. But I understand your concern. You could add it to pastebin, put an expiry on it or you could sign up for pastebin, that way you can delete anything you post. I can take a quick look, and then you can just delete it.

In reply to: spam posts on my blog, cannot find them in dashboardCheck the contents of your .htaccess file, as it could be doing a URL rewrite in there. To resolve, delete the line, NOT the file. Also, change the file permissions on this file, so it is not writable by everyone but your username.
You may wish to update your WP Admin and FTP passwords as well. Just in case.

In reply to: TrackbackIf you open a post, in the top right hand corner of the screen, there is a tab called ‘Screen Options’, beside ‘Help’.
Click this and a list of choices should slide down, is the ‘Discussion’ tickbox ticked in both? As if it’s not in the one you can’t see the trackback options, it’s because it’s just hidden from view.
Hope this is it.
