Duh..I’m obviously not a well camper today Moshu..saw that you’re a mod and totally missed it when I asked that question…thanks for the patience.

Unfortuately clearing the cache didn’t fix the problem..

I have a ‘SMART COMMENTS PLUGIN v. 2.0’ that’s not activated & ‘ThreeStrikesSPAM,’ that is. I’ve just uploaded the ‘SpamKarma plugin’ but cannot see it in my plugin directory. However when I open the SK2 folder in my FTP client I see there is the first SK2 folder with files in it..and another SK2 folder within the first folder (also has files in it), though some are different. Could this be the reason why it’s not showing up in the plugins page? Sort of like the problem I had with Dark Maple not having a templete under ‘Presentations,’ another secondary folder had installed or opened into the original folder..when I deleted the 2nd folder it was fine. Should I then delete the second folder..even if there are a few different files in it that aren’t in the first folder. Or should I upload the differnet files into the first folder before deleting it?

In the other thread ‘Handy’ suggsested:
“Try ctrl-F5 from your browser to force a reload (not F5, ctrl+F5).” Just what am I trying to force a reload of exactly..an edited comment?

Thanx for closing the other thread..

Okay will give them both a try Moshu..starting with the cache first.

As I’m still relatively new at all this I have to ask the simplest questions sometimes before moving ahead with anything. So here’s one of them..can I safely delete everything in the cache?

And thanks much..I’llpost back if it gets resolved.

I’ve found a few posts about problems with editing RE:It seems there is a problem editing comments if they have a single quote character, as in – I’m – or – you’re.

Here is the suggested fix from member jaden:

“Database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax near ‘t you agree that we should go directly to the individual first to discuss this? ‘ at line 3]”

However this is not the same as the problem I have.

I found these under “How-To and Troubleshooting.” Just hope If I post under the above it’s okay..seeing as I have already this post here too?

JUst something I wanted add should someone ever have this same problem. I used the fix Devilmaycry suggested and much appreciated his help.

When I got back into my WP manager I saw this suggestion at the bottom of the plugins page:

“If something goes wrong with a plugin and you can’t use WordPress, delete or rename that file in the wp-content/plugins directory and it will be automatically deactivated.”

So there you have in folks..it pays to read and remember.

lol thanx am doing it now..will get back to you if it works or doesn’t. But it will..the power of positive thought right. :0)

Good idea..okay Devil..I’ll give it a try…(gulp)..thanks much.

Mary

Oh my..how didn’t I see that..thank you so much.
mary

okay thanks again for all your help will post back if I get it fixed.
