In reply to: WP 2.5 Media Gallery OptionsI agree. That “interim” page that simply shows a little bit larger thumbnail is a waste. I want the first thumbnail in the post to display the full size image when clicked.

In reply to: blank screen, no html response, at root levelSame problem here. Posts show up in the manage list, but NOTHING is displayed on the live site.

In reply to: Anyone know what this error means?Thank you so much Michael.
I will check with my host later. I did a quick search here, but I wasn’t really too sure what I was looking for and my initial search didn’t turn anything up.

In reply to: Edit pages posting themselvesI have the same issue as well using another theme. It’s obviously a WP problem, but I have no idea if there is a solution. It’s quite annoying to have to stop the page load with the keyboard rapidly every time I want to edit a Page – especially since that usually stops the editing bar from loading as well.

In reply to: does anyone have the Adhesive plugin?You should also know that it does not work with WordPress 2.0.4 – at least, it doesn’t for me, and it was the only plug-in I had installed.

In reply to: Image Upload after 2.0.4 upgrade?Let me add to my original post.
I CAN upload to the default location of jdempsey.com/wordpress/wp-content/uploads without an issue (at least from within WP – still can’t with ecto). I just don’t WANT to upload there. I want the uploads to go to my original uploads directory from WP 1.5 which is NOT contained in the WordPress directory on my server.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Change Upload DirectoryCould you be more specific???
Changing the address in the Options:Misc tab doesn’t work because WP automatically sends you to the WP folder on the server. I don’t want images to be uploaded to the WP folder, I want them to go to a folder at the root level of the server.
This worked fine for me in WP 1.5, but the same setting doesn’t work in 2.0.4.
I suspect that it has something to do with the fact that WP no longer has a Directory URI input box, just a Destination URI box.

In reply to: Mac OS X DOCK Magnify ScriptI can’t think of any more annoying feature to add to a blog to make it less readable.

In reply to: New upload feature – problemRegarding the uploading problems:
First off, WP 2.0 apparently forces you to use a new upload directory. Unlike 1.5 that would allow you to house your images in any folder you wanted, 2.0 puts them automatically in a directory that is automatically created with each post, like so:
/wordpress/wp-content/uploads/2005/12/filename.jpgThe quick & dirty solution if you’re using ecto seems to be to re-upload the old xmlrpc.php file from 1.5. I have not tried it, but someone at the ecto support forum has done it with success.
I won’t be upgrading until I’m satisfied that this whole mess has been fixed. The whole “thumbnail” vs “original” option is nice, but was obviously either overlooked or botched up. And forcing me to upload my images into these obscure directories is a HORRIBLE idea. What happens when we want to re-use a previously posted image? Is it going to force us to re-upload another copy?

In reply to: Using WordPress blog software on MacYou can also use a program called ecto for Mac OSX to create your posts for your WordPress site.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WP keeps adding all my posts to “Uncategorized”I can confirm that the two files (functions-post.php and xmlrpc.php) that are provided at ecto’s link three posts up do in fact correct the problem with categories always setting to default. I’m using the latest version of ecto and WP.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: 1.5.12 and ectoI can also confirm that using Ryan’s two files from 6-30-05 above do indeed fix all the problems mentioned previously – with the exception of the Default Category problem when using WP 1.5.1.3 and ecto 2.3.6.

In reply to: Padding photos so text doesn’t butt against them.the hspace and vspace tags will work, but the problem is that it puts that space on BOTH sides, not just the side where text butts up against it.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Setting up – quick questionThank you for the quick response, the link you provided answered my question.
I have tried installing everything at the root level, but it seems something just doesn’t work correctly when I do that. I guess it could be that my web host has something going on that only allows .html files to be the index… I dunno.
