Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: site view both regular and mobileThanks for your answer WPyogi. I guess I’ll stick to trying to making sure the one theme I use adjusts automatically, rather than creating additional themes.
Forum: Localhost Installs
In reply to: spam questionsIt may be that I’ve misused the term “localhost”, and thus have placed this question in the wrong place. Anyway, by “localhost” I meant that I run the site from my own computer rather than uploading files via ftp (or otherwise) to another webserver. So, in my case I run lighttpd (similar to apache) on my own computer with Vector Linux. However, the site is served to the internet rather than an intranet or rather than simply on my own computer. So, my lighttpd.conf does not actually serve to the localhost (IE 127.0.0.1) but rather to a static IP that has been assigned to my computer by my ISP. My mysql server, on the other hand, is served to my localhost, since I run it on my own computer as well (similar to php). Anyway, I thought that running your own webserver and serving your site to the internet from your own computer rather than from an external webserver qualified my question to belong in this forum. But, in thinking it through, you’re right, I’m not simply serving this to my localhost, but to the internet as a whole.
Anyway, I think I have figured out the answer to my question. It seems that WordPress does not automatically enter comments marked as “spam” into its blacklist. I did however find a plugin that will automate the process of entering the IPs of comments marked as spam into the blacklist. My previous experience with this is with email spam products like Bogofilter, that do automatically label things as spam and do learn via Bayesian probability. I was wondering how WordPress handled such things. I haven’t found anything quite like Bogofilter, but as I mentioned I did find something the automates the process a little. Also, I recently added a captcha, and this had cut spam down significantly.
So, while my questions have not been completely answered, I have gotten a somewhat better situation than I had previously. Thus, thread solved.
When I say “I tried it in the 2011 theme”, what I meant is I created a child theme from it and then used the code that BLuu123 suggested.
I tried it in the 2011 theme, but no luck. However, I’m not too worried. I’m reasonably happy with the site as is. If I wish to modify it further, perhaps I’ll switch to the 2012 theme and try once more. Once again, thanks for your help.
Thanks for the answer, that’s great. I’ll give it a try tomorrow. My site is http://www.paralegalmark.com. Hopefully I can get it to work.

In reply to: [Twenty Eleven] register widgetOkay, I found it. Under Settings, General, I had to click “anyone can register”.
Okay, I figured this out. There is under the Dashboard-Pages menu an option to set a featured image for each page. So, that solves it.
