Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Can’t mass delete spamJust curious, are you using Akismet? If not you should. It comes included with WordPress. If for some reason you don’t have it you can get it here. Also, download and install Bad Behaviour which will prevent many malicious/spam bots from even accessing your site.
To get rid of the comments awaiting moderation you could run a query. First, access your database via phpMyAdmin. Second, make a backup of your database just in case. Third, select your database then click the SQL tab and enter this query …
SELECT *FROM wp_comments WHERE comment_approved ="0"This will bring up all comments awaiting moderation. When it does run this query …
delete from wp_comments WHERE comment_approved ="0"That should delete all comments awaiting moderation. You may want to run a repair on the database after that.

In reply to: Help With fatal errorLine 29 is where the call to the undefined function is. I repeat my question, “Are you using some type of post plugin that perhaps you forgot to activate/reactivate?”

In reply to: Borders?Don’t need a plugin for that. Just define the border in the style sheet.
Look in style.css for …
img { border: none; }and change it to whatever you want such as …
img { border: 2px #000; }A caveat: this will put a 2px wide black border around ALL images. If you only want a border around images in posts then leave the above alone AND add to the style sheet …
.post img { border:2px #000;}or some such thing.Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Help With fatal errorThe error is pretty straightforward Call to undefined function in this case –>

In reply to: Blog has been hacked – can’t login in to dashoboardDoes anyone know how and why this happened?
How? –>
<meta name="generator" content="WordPress 1.5" />
Why? –> Because you allowed it by using a version of WP that hasn’t been used/maintained since the dinosaurs roamed about.I have been a wordpress user for 3 years, and this is the first problem I’ve ever had.
Maybe now you’ll take the security of your site a little more seriously. Not one single upgrade in 3 years?! It’s amazing you lasted this long.
Search this forum for the termed “hacked”. You’ll come up with plenty of threads and suggestions.

In reply to: software revison upgrade1) As always, the Codex is the place for all things WordPress.
2) Do you have Akismet activated? Also, you may want to consider another plugin called Bad Behaviour which blocks many spambots from even accessing your site. Both plugins play nicely together.Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Edit my themeHi Ibrahim.
Got your email. As I said in my reply I’m extremely busy with work the last couple of months (which is why I haven’t been very active here in the forum) but I’ll see what I can do for you. You can contact me off-forum again if you wish.
