In reply to: 2.8 upgrade killed visual editorI had the same problem after upgrading to WP 2.8, but only on one of my three wordpress sites. Even after completely re-uploading a brand new 2.8 install, still happened.
the ‘define( ‘CONCATENATE_SCRIPTS’, false );’
addition fixed it.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Rich Text Editor Problem – 2.1ok – i take back (nearly) all the bad things I said about WordPress.
This is (at least in my case) a greasemonkey user script problem. If you are having this problem, disable greasemonkey and see if it goes away. If it does, re-enable GreaseMonkey and start disabling all your user scripts. The one that was causing the problem for me was “Force Wrap”, which forces wrapping of long text strings in the browser. You can either disable the script, or you can set it to exclude your wordpress site.

In reply to: Rich Text Editor Problem – 2.1yeah, i meant 2.1.3 – i just downloaded it yesterday.
but back to the problem. this is a pretty major problem, and that it hasn’t been fixed (or that is was introduced in the first place) is a bit disconcerting to me. I’ve been using WP since pre-1.5 days and I have seen a good many bugs last WAY too long and “blatenly obvious missing features” remain unimplemented, but this takes the cake. One of the most important aspects of developing a webapp is testing it across all platforms, in this case, all popular browsers. Since WP 2.0, the rich text editor is a key feature for the whole program, and should therefore be garunteed to work in all major browsers. Obviously, Firefox 2 is a major browser, so either 1) the rich text editor was not tested outside of IE, or 2) the problem was/is known, and just simply remained unfixed. Either way, I think it’s pretty unacceptable….. (yeah yeah, look at me – complaining about free, open-source software)
I just installed WP 2.1.3 for a friend/client for a new site, and it’s embarassing to have to tell him that he has to use IE to get all the functionality to work correctly.

In reply to: Rich Text Editor Problem – 2.1having the exact same problem here on a brand new installation of WP 2.0.3 using FireFox 2.0.0.3. It works in IE7. This is a pretty major problem, and I imagine a large portion of the WordPress community uses FireFox.
any updates?

In reply to: Comments to multiple email addressesHas this feature been implemented in a plugin yet? I too am a WordPress site creator/administrator, but I don’t actually contribute to the blog, therefore I do not want to receive comment notifications or be in charge of moderating comments. How can I allow the blog authors to moderate the comments on their own posts, short of putting them all in the Administrator group, and having all comments go to all of them.

In reply to: Using wordpress for more then just a blogI am strongly considering using a WordPress + Gallery2 site (using the excellent WPG2 Embedded plugin – http://wpg2.ozgreg.com/index.php/Main_Page) to create an Art Gallery page for a friend, where she can display her art and sell it too. I would be making several static pages, then use Gallery2 albums to display the art, then use a Paypal plugin (or hack one together myself) to buy the art.
Haven’t worked on it yet though – I started off using Mambo CMS and it was way overkill and too much hassle to configure. Now it’s between eZ Publish CMS – http://ez.no/products/ez_publish_cms – which is again a pain to set up, but looks to be perfect for displaying galleries, shopping carts, payment systems, etc out of the box, or WordPress, which is a snap to set up, but will require much more plug-ins and small hacks to get it working the way I want it.
