Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Blog verificationWith that kind of comments all over the net, the spammer just needs to do a quick search to generate a list of blogs and their ip:s, that allow unmoderated comments. Then they can quickly spam them all, possibly with dangerous comments. An efficient way spread malware?

In reply to: plugin for full justify?“Advanced wysiwyg” can do it in WP 2.0, but it breaks in WP2.1.
You could edit the settings of TinyMCE, though. It’s part of WordPress, and it has support for full justify built in. I don’t recall where the files are but maybe in wp-includes somewhere?
Have you tried Xinha or FCKEditor?
I would recommend you to edit the css instead and make all the class entrytext p:s fully justified. It’s easier in the long run, and it does not mix content and formatting so badly.

In reply to: password-protect pages?I don’t know “Page levels”, but it might be usefull. Have a look at it, too.

In reply to: password-protect pages?I’m using a plugin called “Page restriction” with WordPress 2.0. It makes selected pages available for logged in users only. It might need a few changes for WP2.1

In reply to: Does “Bad Behaviour” block legitimate users?I though that maybe people here would know these issues allready, and I also didn’t want to trouble the author with something that might be a trivial question.
Second reason: someone might find my question & possible answers usefull.
Oh well, maybe I’ll ask the author anyway.

In reply to: Does “Bad Behaviour” block legitimate users?Ok, I found the “responses.inc.php”. It contains the explanations of the “keys” found in the database. Just perfect for all visual editor wizards like me… (True Nerds use ed and a line printer)
The user interface *could* be friendlier, though.
Where are those ‘log’ => messages going? Do I need to turn on verbote HTTP request logging to have proper logs? Or does that mode log everything?

In reply to: Does “Bad Behaviour” block legitimate users?Yes, I have disabled “strict mode” and installed the latest Bad Behaviour.
What makes me doubt, is that I cannot find the specific reasons for blocking certain requests. If I don’t know what this plugin does, then I cannot contiune using it.

In reply to: Simple Site?1) you need to log in as admin
2) you need to open “option” and then “reading”
3) make the selections
4) submitForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Simple Site?Yes, you can have several categories.
You should even be able to place posts from different categories to different pages, if you create page templates, copy/paste “the loop” from the codex to the template files, and add category selection in the code/templates. Not sure, though.

In reply to: Count failed login attempts“I think they probably know when their login attempt fails”
So, YOUR blog does not have 1237 times “login failed for admin – wrong password”?

In reply to: Generating a static site with WP“However, since it’s on a shared server, the shared database server occasionally gets hosed.”
What?
Get a professional service provider.
If you want rock-solid, secure, dependable service, then perhaps you should pay for it?

In reply to: WP as CMS – Bilingual site w/Hebrew and English“Can you really trust auto-translated content”
Like the auto-translated end user license agreement, that said in english: “for personal use only” and in finnish (and back): “for personnell use only”?
The english license restricted it to non-commercial use, and the autotranslated finnish license explicitly stated that only ~corporate use was allowed… I won’t tell you which license, because I enjoy the present situation so much that I don’t want the more limiting english license back 🙂
There have been many more ridiculous translations that have generated a lot of laughter (or worse). It is not a far fetched idea that an automatical translation might cause insult, too. Words carry many meanings. In a politically delicate blog that could be devastating.
Aren’t blogs litterature, works of art? Replacing the creative process with a rude algorithm producing barely understandable, uninteresting, uninspiring text is not a good idea. Nobody wants to read a robot.

Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: beginner needs guidenseIn many webhotels you are not allowed to edit themes and stuff from the browser.
In such a case you have two options:
1) log in using ssh and use command line / terminal tools (cd, ls, vi and so on). It’s easy, fast and convenient ONCE YOU MASTER IT.
2) log in to the cPanel/DirectAdmin management page with your web browser. Download the themes style.css, edit it, upload it back. Easier for a newbie, but sloooooooow.

In reply to: Better spacing around an imageEdit your themes style.css to add margin/padding.
Example:

border: none;
margin: 5px;
padding: 5px;
}
