In reply to: How secure is wordpress? Not very.I’m saying *anyone* running anything on a *shared* server is only as safe as the most unsecure account on that server. And just because your WP site was hacked, that doesn’t necessarily mean that the hacker gained access through *your* account. So … just be aware and take as many precautions as you can to ensure that your install is as secure as it can be. This means upgrading when security patches are release. 🙂

In reply to: How secure is wordpress? Not very.someone owning your files and doing with them as they please.
And this can happen whether you are running WordPress or MovableType or Blogger or [insert name of any php-driven CMS]. Because remember, as long as you are on a shared server, you are only as secure as the laziest SOB on it.

In reply to: Certain editing links nonfunctional in Firefox and IEIt was Rich Manalang’s WP Amazon plugin here:
http://manalang.com/wp-amazon/Which makes sense because it installs an Amazon “button” at the top right corner of the editor viewport, right where all those other posting links are.
Shame, because that was a really great plugin.

In reply to: Certain editing links nonfunctional in Firefox and IEI *think* the answer — for me anyway — are plugins. I went in and disabled ALL the plugins and now it’s working in FF and IE7. What threw me off the plugin trail initially was that it was behaving fine in Opera. This client’s site does have a LOT of plugins and I’m enabling them, and testing, one by one, until I find out which plugin is the culprit. Sometimes, it’s just the cocktail of plugins that are all going at once that causes havoc. But I’ll post back when I find out which plugin(s) caused the behavior. 🙂

In reply to: Blank dialog after “Insert into Post” clicked, no imagesThis happens to me, consistently across all browsers, and I have popups allowed. I get this string in the address bar and a white page:
http://seethesouthwest.mytestbed.com/wp-admin/media-upload.php?type=file&tab=gallery&post_id=129
Before all this AJAX tomfoolery started, WP had a really elegant NATIVE image uploader. I wish it could be brought back, resurrected as a plugin or something. This is just ridiculous how so many “features” become nonfunctional on so many browsers.

In reply to: please a little help!browse.php? According to the installation instructions, the code should go in index.php (and any other theme template where you want these kind of paginated links). Why browse.php?

In reply to: Different headers on each pageYou can use the plugin NextGenGallery to rotate Flash Banners throughout the header rather than what you’re currently using.
We have that done on this site:
http://gnoics.org
And it’s a matter of uploading the desired banners to a folder on the server and pointing the header code there. (Take a peek at the source code on the site and you’ll see what I mean.HTH.

In reply to: How the change where the url of categories point to.Well, doc4, I’m thinking my buddy’s solution might be what he’s looking for, but as I said, unless I know more about his reasoning, it’s hard to tell.
Try this:

In reply to: Integrate “Recent Post” side widget to my existing siteThen you need to pull WP into your non-WP blog. That can be done using the tutorial (and also read some of the comments there as they also contain solutions to problems people have had attempting to do this) here:

In reply to: How to position/move downYou want to make the edit in the stylesheet, not hard code it using brute force.
The division #top-container is in your template code, but it’s not in the stylesheet. Try adding this to styles.css and see what that does:
#top-container { margin-top: 115px; }Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Integrate “Recent Post” side widget to my existing siteWhy don’t you use an RSS feed. If example.com is also driven by WordPress, use the RSS Feed widget to put the feed from example.com/blog/ there? (If you are using pretty URLs, the feed would probably be something like http://example.com/blog/feed/)
Make sense?

In reply to: (some) dates missingBut is the date somehow “blank” on that Fresh Free Icons post? I can’t think of any other reason why WP would selectively ignore a date in a post.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: (some) dates missingYou mean it is always the third post down? That’s really weird. Would you mind posting your template code then?
Have you tried disabling all your plugins to see if it goes away then or possibly using the default theme to see if it still misbehaves?

In reply to: Show author only once?Hmm. Topic is now shown as “resolved” and there’s no resolution posted. Weirdorama!
