In reply to: editor htmlthanks that did the trick..
Yes that stops the creation of the link to an image comment. 2.8.4 treats images as posts so they can be commented on. Stopping the creation of the link stops the ability to comment on the photo which may be a fix to stop the error showing but it doesn’t fix what looks like a bug.
I have reported it to the bug people.Should have said I’m using 2.8.4
No one else experienced this problem?

In reply to: Google webmaster keeps asking me to Verify My SiteI had a look at that plugin and it won’t do anything for your SEO.
It’s about telling google, yahoo and Microsoft that you have verified your website with them which you haven’t.I would suggest you uninstall it and if you want to verify your site with each of those search negines, then set up an account with them to do it as you appear to have done with google.
But you don’t need to verify your site for it to be listed in any of those search engines. The accounts you set up with them just provide you with some feedback on how they are indexing your site. They don’t allow you any direct control over the indexing.
I would suggest “Meta SEO Pack” which if configured thoughtfully with regard to your post text and post titles, will give you good SEO.

In reply to: Google webmaster keeps asking me to Verify My SiteI have no knowledge of AOF SEO. Never seen it so couldn’t comment on it.
But google site verification is nothing to do with SEO. It requests verification so that you can prove you are the site owner. Otherwise it won’t allow you to see statistics or midify anything about the site.
So just do what google tells you to do to verify your site. Uploading the file it asks for tells google you have administrator rights for your site otherwise you wouldn’t have the passwords to allow you to do the upload. It is a security thing.

In reply to: Google webmaster keeps asking me to Verify My Sitejust follow the instructions in google for verifying your site. You just have to create an empty file with the name they give you and upload it to your domain root folder and leave the file there indefinitely.

Look at the code in noob.Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: TinyMCEchecked out that plugin. Problem is that it disables Ctrl+C and Ctrl+V from within original rich text editor which is not good for making amendments.
I’ll investigate TinyMCE’s own cleanup code.
It would still be nice to know if the version in WP has been modified in any special way so that I know what not to touch.

In reply to: comments rssback again. I have been playing with this a little more and what happened was that I had edited the rss files to use my domain name in the generator tag. Having done that it wouldn’t work on my local server and I discovered the files were in western Latin format so I changed them to UTF-8 in dreamweaver. It then worked on my local system but not on my ISP. So then I reverted to original files and it worked on both local and ISP servers.
The question is, since the files are now not encoded in UTF-8 why do they work on both my local and ISP servers when the XML generated says they are in UTF-8 format?
the w3c validator says my isp server is sending us-ascii.
so how should the rss files be encoded?

In reply to: Adding flash and its thumbnailinstall and activate plugin filosofo-home-page-control
then create a PAGE not a post.
then using options set that page as your deafult home page. On that page put your thumbnails with permalinks to other posts or pages as desired.

In reply to: comments rssWell thats confused me because it didn’t work when I reported it, but it does now. Strange. I suspect there may be some cacheing issue with my ISP although I never experienced that before with them.
Thanks anyhow.

In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionThat worked great! You’re a star.
Thanks.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionThis is what MySQL says when wp tries to connect:
1251 Client does not support authentication protocol requested by server; consider upgrading MySQL client
why would that suddenly start happening. It worked fine before and now I’m trying to install an older version of wp so its defintely something with either apache or mysql on my machine but I don’t know waht I have changed. I did reinstall MySQL but no change.
Any clues?
the correct params are being passed to the connect.
