    If your FTP client doesn’t do this easily, get one that does.

    (I wouldn’t have said anything if I hadn’t already pulled my hair out with you trying to get you to read links posted right there in your thread)

    let me fix those last two sentences for you, NC.

    One massive and certain problem with not updating is that software always contains security vulnerabilities. So once they’re discovered, it’s easy for a malicious hacker to exploit them.

    … Security updates for *known* exploits are included in every new version. Updating is therefore really quite important. It would be nice if they would branch off at 2.3, but that’s not going to happen.

    this should be posted as a bug report.

    PLEASE for crying out loud, will you just CLICK on *any* of the links people post for you?

    Look up there, it’s blue in moshu’s post.

    it’s that genderless avatar next to your name… boys still outnumber girls on the net (thankfully it’s much less of a sausage-fest now, but still…) so I was just going with the safer bet.

    (that and english lacks a one-word singular genderless reference. Saying “they” seems mildly retarded)

    My humblest apologies 🙂

    actually, to be honest with you, I’d prefer to call everyone a she, but when you do that against the actual statistics, it sort of makes you look like a militant feminist lesbian with hairy armpits. I’m all that, except the militant part. Also, blokes get more upset about the mistake, for some reason.

    if you’re editing sidebar.php, then you’re in the right place… but, you won’t see much of it, unless you stop using widgets.

    here’s the deal…

    those who don’t know what “editing files” means, move to the left side of the room. those who know what <?php ?> does, move to the right side of the room.

    everyone on the left should be using widgets, everyone on the right should NOT be using widgets.

    heh, they’re in your browser cookies… there’s no reason for them to be on your site. Just make a new comment with different details while logged out of your blog, and they’ll change.

    since I’m posting all my code here, and you’re cutting and pasting, don’t you think it would just be easier to use a breadcrumb plugin? 😉

    this is what I use for breadcrumbs on my page.php and other page templates.

    <div id="breadcrumbs">
      <a href="<?php echo get_bloginfo('url'); ?>" title="">Home</a>
      <?php
        $parent_id  = $post->post_parent;
        $breadcrumbs = array();
        while ($parent_id) {
          $page = get_page($parent_id);
          $breadcrumbs[] = '<a href="'.get_permalink($page->ID).'" title="">'.get_the_title($page->ID).'</a>';
          $parent_id  = $page->post_parent;
        }
        $breadcrumbs = array_reverse($breadcrumbs);
        foreach ($breadcrumbs as $crumb) echo ' / '.$crumb;
      ?>
    </div>
    <h1><?php the_title(); ?></h1>

    that’s for category pages… you would use that only on category archive templates.

    there isn’t but there are a couple of breadcrumb plugins.

    you’re welcome by the way.

    In reply to: API key question

    that sentence has everything to do with akismet, and nothing to do with you… reading comprehension isn’t a strong point I see.

    What I was getting at quite simply, was your desire to question the documentation due to what exactly? Paranoia?

    lets go through this step by step, just because I want to.

    1) You want to use an online service like Akismet.
    2) that service requires you to use an “API Key” in order to access the online service
    3) it makes it abundantly clear how to get a key from the site(s) responsible for providing that online service.
    4) you get the key and put it where it tells you to put it
    5) everything works and you get a shiny green yeehaw sign.

    then:

    1) you want to use an online service like google analytics
    2) that service requires you to use an “API Key” in order to access the online service
    3) it makes it abundantly clear how to get a key from the site(s) responsible for providing that online service.
    4) you decide that must not be right, because what would they know about getting API keys? You’ve already got an API Key for akismet, so it’s google’s fault that they don’t interact with wordpress and share that information.
    5) You get one anyway and put it where google tells you to put it
    6) analytics tells you that it’s gathering results and will make them available to you in 24 hours.
    7) you don’t believe google, instead thinking that the 24 hours MUST be an overestimate, therefore you were completely right back in step 4, and everyone must be wrong, except you.
    8) despite everything going exactly as instructed, and getting nothing but success messages, you decide to come here and question the process because clearly there’s something wrong.

    … just wanted to be straight on all that.

    I’m really curious what you think they’ll gain by giving you incorrect instructions.

    $post->post_parent will give you the ID of the parent page 🙂

    if you want to keep checking further back, you can pull the parent page and find out what it’s parent is….

    $parent = get_page($post->post_parent);
    $grandparent = $parent->post_parent;

    why not follow the instructions that akismet gives you and trust that it’s telling you how to get it working, rather than trying to pull a fast one.

    ask yourself also whether akismet has anything whatsoever to do with google’s analytics, or whether the association with wordpress (and the fact that it *comes* preloaded with wordpress) means anything.

    I had a line about the warning bells, but I’m not going to use it because people don’t often take my rudeness with good humour 😛

    you’re welcome
