Thanks Mike!

That removes the text, but it stills leaves a blank between the “E-Mail Address again:” text and input text box. I might need to hardcode a change to remove it?

Looking at the page source, I see this:

<div style="text-align:left;">
<span style="font-size:x-small; font-weight:normal;">Please enter your E-mail Address a second time.</span>
<br>
<input id="si_contact_email2_1" type="email" size="40" value="" name="si_contact_email2" style="text-align:left; margin:0;">
</div>

The three things that would need to be done in order enable/disable it thru CSS would be (1) Move the BR tag inside the span tag, and (2) assign a class name to the span, and (3) add a section in the Style area so you could hide/unhide the span. If the span is hidden, then the BR tag would not come into effect and the blank line would not appear!

So something like this:

<div style="text-align:left;">
<span class="some-new-class">Please enter your E-mail Address a second time.<br></span>
<input id="si_contact_email2_1" type="email" size="40" value="" name="si_contact_email2" style="text-align:left; margin:0;">
</div>

And then in Style you would have a new entry for “some-new-class” with this in it:
font-size:x-small; font-weight:normal;

Thanks

EDIT: Had to change my br tags to BR so they dont get removed!

Okay, after several hours of searching and playing around, I came up with the following plugin that does 4 things on the Edit Posts admin page:

1- Removes the Author column.
2- Adds a new column called realAuthor which displays the whats stored in the custom meta data field called ddfmName.
3- Adds a new column called realAuthorEmail which displays the whats stored in the custom meta data field called ddfmEmail.
4- Adds a new column called ID and displays the Post ID number (older versions of WP did this by default).

<?php
/*
Plugin Name: Display ID & Custom fields

Description: On the Edit Posts list view page, it will display the Real Authors name and email, and the Post ID. All submissions to the blog are made by the 'anonymous' author (#5), but the persons real name and email are stored in the meta-data custom fields called 'ddfmName' and 'ddfmEmail'... This Real Name and Email will be displayed.

I’m assuming you ACTIVATED the plugin as well?

I am honestly not very well versed in WP code or plugins… I had a problem, and was able to find the above fix for it… sorry, but I do not have any suggestions for why it does not work for you.

I’ll try it, thanks.

It’s part of the editor that is built into WP2.5 … so I think you would say it’s part of the core.

When you go to create a new post or edit an existing post, it shows up as one of the available buttons.

Thanks
