In reply to: Embedded objects disappearNo problem.
yeah, Google maps is the only one that has to be iframed in.
Problem with your method is you don’t get the interactivity (zoom, directions etc) on the page with just an image.
it is very annyoing, so I always copy and save the code in a text editor and if it messes up on the site, i just paste it back in. Another way would be to embed the google map in a blank html page and iframe that. That way, you wouldn’t lose the content of the iframe as it would be something like:
<iframe src="googlemap.html width="500px" height="300px">Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: How to scale WordPressIt’s not so much WordPress (as there are some pretty big WordPress websites eg, CNN).
I don’t think it’s a question of WordPress being able to handle the scalability, rather the host.
It also all depends what the content is likely to be, eg, video streaming, image galleries or just mainly text content as all will have different requirements for bandwidth.
I would talk to the host and clarify the flexibility of running a site and talk to them about load balancing and possibly a CDN.

In reply to: Embedded objects disappearYou can also embed youtube through the ‘Old embed type’, which isn’t iframes. it uses the <object> tag, and I never have issues in WordPress with it.
You choose this in Youtube, once clicked ‘share’, you’ll see an option to choose the old method.

In reply to: Database error for login WordPress siteI would try repairing the database through PHPMyAdmin (available through your cpanel)
Follow these instructions
Most spam are generated through ‘bots’ than scan the web looking for forms.
Chances are, it has been programmed in such a way that it knows that for tag / archive pages, it can add something like a /1 and get a form.
Clever eh? Notice, if you put a /2, it also brings up a comment form.
Anyway, I would ensure that there are no posts, pages, tags or archives stored in trash (after previously deleting them), or make sure that there aren’t content pages set to ‘private’.
Other than that, I ALWAYS open:
‘Settings’ –> ‘Discussions’
and alter the ‘Comment Moderation’ section to:
“Hold a comment in the queue if it contains 1 or more links.”
By setting this to 1 link, (as spammers always add links to their spam mails), it immediately blocks anything with a link in the comments.
You’ll find your spam becomes non-existant.
Hope this helps.

Create them as ‘contributors’.
They can only write posts with no other functionality (eg, plugins, settings, pages etc)
They can’t publish themselves though, instead, they submit for review and it pops in your post queue once submitted.

In reply to: "missing" home pageOpen:
‘Appearance’ –> ‘Editor’
…and find (index.php).
This is the homepage layout, it’s not as a standard page like your other ‘pages’. You’ll need knowledge of HTML to edit successfully.

In reply to: custom content paneUnfortunately there’s no widget that I’m aware of, but you’ll need HTML and CSS knowledge to split the page into 2 different panes. It can definately be done though.
On a side note, you may also want to look at the background image, and remove the logo and telephone number out (their hidden behind the content on my PC).
After they’ve been removed, you can allocate the logo and the contact number back in (inside their own HTML elements). They will display correctly then. Not advisable to have your logo as part of the background image as it’s not clickable and will display differently in different browsers.
Also, index.php is named for a reason and I wouldn’t recommend renaming it unless you rename it in every other file where it gets mentioned, otherwise your site can break.
Let me know how you get on.

In reply to: How do i remove links on postingsIt will be in Single.php somewhere.
You’ll need to locate the navigation and remove the lines from before and after the content.
Without seeing the site, or knowing which theme you’re using, it’s very hard to guess.

In reply to: Not Receiving Generated E-mailsSeems stupid, but have you checked your spam/junk?
By default, all my mails for new WP sites get junked first until I ‘mark as safe’.

In reply to: i have problem in wp-admin (cant access Please help me)Remove db.php from inside the wp-content folder.
This isn’t present with WordPress, so I assume it’s part of a plugin that isn’t used anymore.
