In reply to: Serious Trackback ProblemThanks for replying Brian.
Okay… now that I know the correct term, pingbacks are NOT appearing on my blog (1.5). I’m not even sure whether I want them to appear but they are not. (Trackbacks aren’t either, as far as I can tell.) They used to appear in 1.2.2 but stopped at some point. This indicates that my server changed something, doesn’t it?
If you enable your logs you can see what is and is not happening.
Question #1: How and/or where do I go to enable logs?
Question #2: How do I find out if mod_rewrite is installed and/or enabled? I do not see this term in the phpinfo file I have for my site.

In reply to: Serious Trackback ProblemI have been reading all of the threads on pingback/trackback in this forum and am still unable to receive new trackbacks or pingbacks in my blog.
- I am running a recently upgraded 1.5
- xmlrpc.php has the required number of parentheses on line 67.
- functions.php is correct on line 635
- “Blacklist comments from open and insecure proxies” is UNchecked.
- allow_url_fopen() is enabled on my server.
- I have tested at http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/TestTrack/ to see that I can send trackbacks but none of the trackbacks sent from that site have appeared on my wp1.5 blog.
Has anyone come up with a patch for 1.5 to fix the trackback/pingback problem? Having just gone through a major nightmare upgrading from 1.2.2 to 1.5, I really am not keen on having to upgrade the whole shebang again.

In reply to: Trackbacks not showing up in my comments?I too just tried the blacklist fix above. No go.
Being pretty much unschooled in php or ANY kind of programming, I’m now hopelessly lost.
edit: I have now succeeded in sending a pingback (or is it a trackback? – I don’t really know what the difference between pb and tb) to http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/TestTrack/
but as far as I know I am still not receiving them.

In reply to: Pingback confusionAnd both of you are doing better than I. Where is this trackback log? Line 624 looks to be correct in functions.php. I removed the blocking on lines 630-639 but now can’t seem to locate this log in the Admin folder.
As far as I know I am not receiving PBs or TBs on my very recently upgraded 1.5 blog. I tested at http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/TestTrack/
The last pingback that appeared is from Feb2005 – when the blog was still 1.2.2 It is only with the recent upgrade that I could see trackback entries listed on the sidebar. They used to be included in the recent comments….
I have trackbacks enabled and allow_url_fopen is also enabled.

In reply to: Trackbacks broken in 1.5?Yes, ddman. I am still having these problems. I recently upgraded to 1.5. My functions.php has the fix noted at http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/2361
And I am feeling quite dumb about this.
I tried testing at
http://www.tamba2.org.uk/wordpress/TestTrack/but as far as I can see, trackbacks and pingbacks are not working on my blog:

In reply to: style for menu headers not working after upgrade to 1.5Excuse me for replying to myself…
I stared at the source code of the blog and see that there are now h2s that have been inserted into the list items for the link categories.
<li id="linkcat-11"><h2>link category title</h2></li>For now, I have added:
#menu li h2 /* the menu headers */ {
background: #300;
/*text-transform:lowercase;*/
color:#9cf;
margin:0;
}
to the stylesheet and of course, had to add an extra section for the perverse browser IE as well:
*html #menu li h2
{background:#f0f8ff;color:#300;}My Question:
Which of the config files controls the formatting of the list items in the link lists that so I can remove the extraneous h2?

In reply to: Error: “Template is missing.”Oh, sorry, Root… I was wary of putting a link to it because I’ve had so many problems with spamming. But, throwing caution to the winds:

In reply to: daylight savings timeCeo, unless you live in GMT zone, or in one of the places in the world where daylight saving does not occur, you still have to go in twice a year and change the offset.
For those of us who do care about the time posted on the post AND are annoyed and/or too lazy to have to change the time offset every six months, this plugin is a very nice thing to have. Many thanks for creating it, ruckus.
Here is a list of timezones for those of us who think this plugin is useful:

In reply to: daylight savings timeI see. Thanks.
I hope that wasn’t construed as a complaint that it wasn’t on the wp plugin page! I was only reporting that it was not there.

I hope that all this talk about the daylight saving plugin hasn’t made people forget about the problem that Groove is having with the date….Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: daylight savings timeWhat exactly are you saying, Ryan? Are you saying that now that I have this particular plugin installed that the time stamp will not necessarily work for all viewers of my blog even if it is working for me? Is it just because my computer happens to understand it?
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: daylight savings timeI hate everything about daylight saving. And I HATE having to change my clocks. So much so that I still haven’t changed my wristwatch. So having a plugin to do this for me makes me very happy. If there were a plugin for automatically changing the time my wristwatch, I’d get it….
The point I’m trying to make is that just because you don’t want the plugin doesn’t mean there aren’t many others who are thrilled to have it.
Now, if we were talking about the need for “Hello, Kings of Leon Kings of Leon lyric plugin”, I would understand the mockery. :^)
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: daylight savings timeOn the other hand, I’m amazed that everyone isn’t clamouring for it.
And if you take a look at the comments on the plugin page, you’ll see that there are several people who wanted it.
Chacun a son gout.

In reply to: Error: “Template is missing.”If I’d known about it, yes I could have… but being a reactionary, I’m not going to change it now…
Thanks! Good luck to you too.

In reply to: daylight savings timeYes, it is. If the event occurred zero times a year (which is as things SHOULD be) there would be no need for the plugin.
