In reply to: Image Linking. How did TechCrunch Solve this?What genius decided that images should be linked by default? I have to spend 30 minutes every day now going though posts getting rid of these useless links which writers who don’t know any better add!

In reply to: Image Linking. How did TechCrunch Solve this?Hmm yeah, custom plugin?
I love the feature. Frankly, I’d take anything that prevents people from accidentally linking the images to themselves (horrifically, the default)

In reply to: Why are images linked by default?This is driving me insane. Am I the only person who thinks this is a problem?

In reply to: [Plugin: WP Super Cache] Super Cache Failing At High TrafficINcredible. Now the site is just cranking along STILL at over 2500 and hour with no trouble whatsoever. Does anyone out there have a clue how this is possible? Echo? Echo? echo?

In reply to: [Plugin: WP Super Cache] Super Cache Failing At High TrafficSo here’s what really blows my mind. Traffic has actually gone UP and the site is now faster. I’m getting 2500/hr and it’s speedy as can be. Two hours ago, with half that traffic the site barely loaded.
Does anyone have a clue as to what could cause this flaky behaviour?
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Plugin: WP Super Cache] Super Cache Failing At High TrafficInteresting. Actually, maybe SuperCache is working after all. But at 2000/hr visitors, the site shouldn’t be this slow, should it?

In reply to: Traffic Issues with WP SuperCache & MediaTempleha, boom! so I restart my server and somehow it causes WP SuperCache to start working again. Then 5-10 minutes later it’s skunked again. Cache clearly not working.
Any server experts think this is a setup problem, or a “need a fancier server” problem?
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Plugin: WP Super Cache] Performance Failure?Hmm… maybe it’s just a browser thing. A new computer does show the proper comments, so I guess SuperCache is working, but good god, the site is slow. Might need to upgrade the server…..

In reply to: PHP HelpHere’s another way to look at it….
Apparantly, my public feed is working fine: http://triplepundit.com/feed/
But maybe that’s just because it’s going through FeedBurner?
How do I simply create a second RSS feed? One that’s exactly the same, but has full content? I’m very confused as to why this is difficult!
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: PHP HelpHeya – well, the guys are telling me the following:
“I have been working through creation of the iPhone app for you and we’re having an issue with the feed you’re providing. The iPhone RSS consumers seem to be having a difficult time with the markup showing up in the item elements. I see you have it marked with a CDATA section but it’s not being respected as such. Is it possible for you to escape the content? That’s what we’re doing and it seems to be working so I’m more confident in using that approach than trying to debug the CDATA issue.”
I’m in over my head here. I’m perfectly capable of editing an RSS feed or HTML, but the way WordPress generates it is totally greek to me. Does anyone have any idea what the above means? or a solution?
Thanks!
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: PHP HelpFantastic, it works!
…basically, there’s a guy who wants to syndicate my content in a creative way and we want to include the whole post, not just the exceprt (which is my prefernce for the default feed).
So I need a new RSS feed with full content. I also want to style it a little bit once that’s fixed.

In reply to: Images Linked By Default?Well, at least I understand the problem now. Thanks for your help!
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Images Linked By Default?Yeah, but I specifically ask my writers to re-size images BEFORE putting them in the posts. I think it’s great that wordpress now can do this for you, but it just confuses readers to have a clickable image that, in most cases, just goes to a page with an image on it, so unless there’s a good reason to (like some kind of large chart), I’d much prefer the images do NOT become clickable by default.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Images Linked By Default?Yeah, but it’s bad practice to force the browser to make a thumbnail (in my opinion) – slows down the site a lot. This is driving me nuts. All 6 of my latest posts from 6 different authors have this problem. THese are not web saavy people and no matter how many times I explain it, they nod, but don’t understand. There’s no question that somehow the default became the “linked” version….
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Images Linked By Default?Yeah, that’s what I thought, but it doesn’t make much sense that EVERYONE is now getting saddled with the link choice. For a dozen writers to suddenly start doing it whereas none were before seems odd…. was there some development in a recent upgrade that made this the default? More importantly, why would anyone ever want to do this? It’s a real nuisance to readers!
