It is the Pages widget (or widget_pages). I found the class_wp_widget_pages. php file. I think we’re toast on this as my coding skills are quite up to tackling that. * Thank you so much for replying! I really appreciate your taking the time to point me on the right path. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Hot Random Image] Resizing parameters don’t work](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/resizing-parameters-dont-work/) * Thread Starter [mtnerd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mtnerd/) * (@mtnerd) * [5 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/resizing-parameters-dont-work/#post-13296117) * I hardcoded the parameters and it looks fine now. * mtnerd * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Email Subscriptions Won't Appear in Sidebar](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/email-subscriptions-wont-appear-in-sidebar/) * Thread Starter [mtnerd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mtnerd/) * (@mtnerd) * [10 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/email-subscriptions-wont-appear-in-sidebar/#post-6667733) * I’ve found a couple of other “clues” (hope springs…) regarding this problem. It appears that whoever installed this system put it in a /WP directory. While the email subscription box doesn’t appear when the website it loaded, it appears when the “Home” page is clicked. This doesn’t make sense to me as the other sidebar widgets appear whether the page is loaded from the index or the Home menu item. * I hope that someone in the community can clue me in as to the why this is so and point out what can be done to force the email subscription to appear on the front page regardless of how it’s accessed. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Subscribe2 - Form, Email Subscribers & Newsletters] 404 Error with Subscription](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-error-with-subscription/) * Thread Starter [mtnerd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mtnerd/) * (@mtnerd) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/404-error-with-subscription/#post-4662172) * Thank you mattyrob. I couldn’t figure out why the widget was setting the redirect to that page id. Regardless of where I designated the widget to redirect, it would use that page id. * I think there was a problem with the widget being on multiple pages. NO idea how I pulled that off but the widget was on the home page, the contact page, yadayada. I pulled the widget off those pages, tried “referring page” again with the widget on the blog page and IT WORKS!! * I appreciate your advice – it gave me a new perspective on the problem. (And some distance from the issue can help too :-)) * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Comment Box Doesn't Appear on the Blog](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-box-doesnt-appear-on-the-blog/) * Thread Starter [mtnerd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mtnerd/) * (@mtnerd) * [12 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/comment-box-doesnt-appear-on-the-blog/#post-4661613) * Thanks Senff – Now I see how it all works.

There isn’t an icon or box for comments. Just the title link. I’m not impressed, but it works. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Force User Login] [Plugin: Force User Login] Keeps Looping to Login Page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-force-user-login-keeps-looping-to-login-page/) * Thread Starter [mtnerd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mtnerd/) * (@mtnerd) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-force-user-login-keeps-looping-to-login-page/#post-2491658) * Just in case someone else has a similar looping problems with mandatory user login plug-ins, I found a solution. I was able to modify Protected Site and it’s working. I had to change the redirect. To find the problem, I set up an echo for the two pieces of the redirect. When I saw how the combination of the two redirect functions were causing the problem, it was simple to fix. Now, I think I probably could have done the same with Force User Login but maybe not. Protected Site has a two page login process and that have helped fix the problem. * OK, next on the list!! * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Force User Login] [Plugin: Force User Login] Keeps Looping to Login Page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-force-user-login-keeps-looping-to-login-page/) * Thread Starter [mtnerd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mtnerd/) * (@mtnerd) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-force-user-login-keeps-looping-to-login-page/#post-2491570) * Let’s add some more information because I keep running into the same problem, no matter which privacy plug-in I try. I’ve tried to install Force User Login, Private! wordpress Access Control Manager, and Private Only. The index.php is in an odd root directory with the following – * ``` define('WP_USE_THEMES', true); /** Loads the WordPress Environment and Template */ require('./wp/wp-blog-header.php'); ?> ``` * And the rest of the wordpress installation is in /wp. * I think the reason these privacy plug-ins aren’t working is because wordpress is installed in the /wp directory. Force User appears to be the simplest system and I’ve tried all sorts of modifications to the redirect but nothing works properly. Here’s the code – * ``` add_action( 'template_redirect', 'force_login' ); function force_login() { $redirect_to = $_SERVER['REQUEST_URI']; // Change this line to change to where logging in redirects the user, i.e. '/', '/wp-admin', etc. if ( ! is_user_logged_in() ) { if ( is_feed() ) { $credentials = array(); $credentials['user_login'] = $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_USER']; $credentials['user_password'] = $_SERVER['PHP_AUTH_PW']; $user = wp_signon( $credentials ); if ( is_wp_error( $user ) ) { header( 'WWW-Authenticate: Basic realm="' . $_SERVER['SERVER_NAME'] . '"' ); header( 'HTTP/1.0 401 Unauthorized' ); die(); } } else { header( 'Location: ' . get_site_url() . '/wp-login.php?redirect_to=' . $redirect_to ); die(); } } } ``` * I have a lot more experience modifying Joomla systems and I’m feeling pretty lost with this problem, even though it should be really simple to fix. * Suggestions? I’ll be happy with a “Hey, dummy – here’s the solution…” (I am so tired of fiddling with this!!) * Thanks, Deb * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Add Author Name to Posts](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-author-name-to-posts/) * [mtnerd](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mtnerd/) * (@mtnerd) * [14 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/add-author-name-to-posts/#post-2183096) * I have just installed the Author Name to Post plug-in and am having the same problem. I created my own theme using the WordPress Theme Gen program (www.wordpressthemegen. com). I’ve looked carefully in the Post Author settings and can’t find anything that might incorporate this plug-in for the blog summary. * Suggestions??
