    Ahhhh! Andy you rock!!!

    I knew there used to be a way to do this, and I couldn’t see it. That is EXACTLY what I was looking for!

    You are my hero! Thank you! =)

    I’m trying to set up a menu item (instead of a sidebar item) for a custom URL outside of my website that opens in a new window.

    A text/html widget as a menu item? I don’t even see an option to do this…

    Hi Andy…does there need to be more than that? Here’s how I entered it in the URL field

    When I put the target before the URL it completely wipes out the URL field when I save the menu.

    When I put it at the end like this…

    http://lenstripping.artistwebsites.com/art/all/+new+additions+/all target=”_blank”

    and then save the menu, it changes the URL field to

    http://lenstripping.artistwebsites.com/art/all/+new+additions+/alltarget=_blank

    I have, but that can be removed by someone that knows what they are doing.

    True, but I can’t try to make a living doing something that I love if I have no way of getting myself exposure. Exposure, these days, is much more than a local market.

    So, you are saying there is no way to stop people from gaining access to the files?

    Bogdan…

    Re: the timthumb.php script…you are right, but it definitely seemed to fix the problem as it was overriding what the PHP memory allocation was set for. =)

    Do you know of additional things that I can do to keep my photos from being stolen? I’m doing everything I know to do, but honestly there are so many ways that people smarter than I am can get to them. I’d like to do everything that I can to make that as hard for them as possible. I’d really prefer someone in Poland or anywhere else not taking my work without credit. =)

    If you have tips or tricks that I might be able to understand and implement I would appreciate them. Feel free to email me if you’d like at lenstripping -at- gmail -dot- com

    Thank you for the complement on my photos, by the way. I appreciate it. =)

    Ok…as promised here is an update. Sorry if this is long…it was a bit of a roller coaster.

    After talking with the programmer of the theme he said that the reason why the thumbnails weren’t showing up was because the PHP memory allocation on my server wasn’t high enough, and it needed to be increased.

    I talked with the programmer that handles our server, and he increased the PHP memory allocation and restarted the server. It didn’t solve the problem, and it was causing a memory error and was calling on the Timthumb script.

    I informed the theme’s programmer that increasing the server’s PHP memory allocation didn’t fix the problem. He refused to believe that the problem wasn’t the server. He then requested login information to my WP account as well as FTP access. I set up special logins for both, and he did a screen capture of an error that showed one of my photos causing 500 error (but was also calling on the Timthumb script).

    I emailed my programmer about it and asked him why an image would cause a 500 error. He told me it was a memory issue still. At the end of my rope I asked him what he though I should do as I felt like I was ramming my head on a wall. He was kind enough to look into the Timthumb.php script and saw there was the following line…

    define (‘MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’30M’); // Set PHP memory limit

    He increased the limit in the script from ’30M’ to ‘3000M’ and magically all of the thumbnails are now showing as they should!!! Woo hoo!

    Hope this helps someone else in their journey! Bogdan good luck! I hope this helps!

    Bogdan…As of this moment there is no response from the programmer for the theme that I purchased.

    When I had gone to post him about the problem I saw that someone else was having the same thumbnail problem with the same theme.

    However, I’ll be sure to keep this post updated once I hear (or if I hear) something from him regarding this issue.

    Thanks again, Esmi. I’ve emailed the programmer to see what I can see. Not necessarily the answers I wanted to hear, but at least it’s an answer to work with.

    Fantastic! =-/ Thanks Esmi. I just purchased this theme, and Timthumb is incorporated within the theme and not something that I can deactivate or remove through the plugins section in the admin. I can email the programmer that created it to find out if he’ll tell me how to deactivate Timthumb (unless you have an idea), but is there something that I can use in it’s place that 1) that actually works and 2) is significantly more secure?

    Thanks for your help…I appreciate it, truly.

    Yeah…sorry. I was exhausted from trying to figure things out. Here’s one of the gallery links
    http://www.lenstripping.com/?gallery=seasons-fall

    However all of them have some thumbnails that aren’t showing up, and this one has none of them showing up
    http://www.lenstripping.com/?gallery=old-mills

    The thing is, even when you don’t see the thumbnail, if you click on the empty spot for where the thumbnail should be, the preview of the picture actually comes up fine and you are able to scroll through to the next picture with no problems.
