In reply to: Error messageWeird. I believe the error popped up when our server did it scheduled mySQL clean-up. Does that seem right?

In reply to: Error handlingAlso, I do know about Magpie for retrieving through RSS. However, it was too slow (we get 90,000 uniques/day….)

In reply to: Special charactersI just don’t know much about encodings…well nothing. This script has worked for years on every one of our other pages and now I see that it works on a blog 404 page…weird! Thanks for your help.

In reply to: Special charactersEeek. Sorry, I will have to look closer at this. I wasn’t criticizing WP!

In reply to: Special charactersOk, ran those tests and the blog page failed.
I still don’t understand why the same php script that outputs Peña (I do not enter it statically in non-UTF-8, the string is generated server-side) looks differently on a WP page than on a non-WP page. If you look at the source of the second link, I simply pasted the header and script from the WP sans wp_head(). I am sorry if I am ignorant of these encoding issues. Thanks!

In reply to: Special charactersBut the initial problem is with a server side script that extracts info from a postgresql database. The (almost) same function works here but doesn’t work here. The only difference that I can tell is the former doesn’t have wp-head(). I have replicated the problem with Notepad, Notepad++ and DW.

In reply to: Enable Sending Referrers my assI had some luck messing with Norton’s privacy settings as mentioned in the Codex.
I have installed over a dozen blogs for people and for each one this problem has come up at least once. It usually happens after I upgrade their software. The problem normally goes away with cookie deletion or just a little patience. It happened to one of my blogs the first time yesterday and the former cookie approach fixed it.
Nonetheless, I think this is a significant issue that needs to be resolved in further releases.

In reply to: Thumbnail creationMore info:
after a lot of testing, the issue seems to be jpegs > 1386px wide. The function wp_create_thumbnail dies if I try to create a thumbnail of such an image size (file size seems unimportant) right at:
$thumbnail = imagecreatetruecolor($image_new_width, $image_new_height);My GD version (bundled (2.0.12 compatible)) is fine. Any ideas would be very helpful!

In reply to: Expandable/collapseable links by categoryThe Scotsman has a great method for expandable menus. Just view the source of that page and look for css/feedList.css and the JS function expand. Very clean.

In reply to: Upgrading to Version 1.2.1I just updated two of my blogs. It’s simple. I have two files that I have edited myself: index.php and my stylesheet. After unzipping 1.2.1 I delete those two from the new distro, back up the one on my server and ftp all of 1.2.1 to the server. No problems here.

In reply to: Change Menu FontFind the css class that is associated with that text and change it to:
font: normal 11px Verdana, sans serif;
or something similar. Check out this site.Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Fresql with wordpress!Looking at that site, it seems that FreeSQL isn’t a SQL language. Instead, it is a hosting service for mySQL, PostgreSQl, etc. So perhaps your host does have mySQL (which is also free).
