In reply to: I can't login to wp adminThanks again, MacManX.
Even though I had already done everything you suggested, I did it all again, just to be sure. Same result: “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

In reply to: I can't login to wp adminThanks for the help, MacManX. But I’ve already done that – I tried everything in http://codex.wordpress.org/Login_Trouble. I also restarted both the browsers and my computer.

In reply to: [Sampression Lite] images on front-page@makeshifter1: While researching my own problem, I made a few experiments that provided me with an answer to your question. I found that, once you have already added the picture as a Featured Image, the simplest way to change its size on the actual post is by going to “Edit post”, and manually adding a style to the ‘img’, like
style=”width:200px, height:300px;”

In reply to: [Sampression Lite] images on front-pageI solved my own problem ( above ). I had never used the Feature Image feature before, so it was not visible when I was editing a post. I had to make it visible by clicking Screen Options at the top of the editing page, then checking its box. Then, since it had never been used, I had to give the appropriate uploads folder in wp-content Permissions of ‘777’, so it could be written to.

In reply to: [pinpress] Images not displayed in previewsI solved the “feature image” problem. I went to cPanel File Manager, and noticed that there was actually no monthly folder in uploads/2013 – even though CuteFTP showed that one was there. It was a “ghost” folder. So I created a monthly folder, using the File Manager. Only then did the “feature image” feature allow me to upload an image.

In reply to: [pinpress] Show sidebar on all pagesI found the answer to my problem above. The file I created using FTP was a “ghost file”. The only way I found to actually change it was to use the File Manager in cPanel to change the coding of the file. Then it would work the way I wanted it to.

In reply to: [Sampression Lite] images on front-pageI cannot now, and never have been able to, get a Featured Image. No matter how I try to upload one, I always get an error. Please, somebody, tell me what theme file I must change to get an image to show on the home page.

In reply to: [pinpress] Images not displayed in previewsThe “feature image” feature doesn’t work. I need to know WHERE in the coding can I change something so the image appears?

In reply to: [pinpress] Show sidebar on all pagesI can’t add the sidebar the way you suggested: I added the sidebar code to home.php – right after the “</div><!– #primary –>” line, BUT it was not accepted. When I looked in the home.php file via FTP, the new coding was there. But when I looked at the file using the WordPress “Edit themes”, it was NOT THERE. How can this be??? Is this theme un-editable???
So this plugin does nothing but allow you to edit the feeds using the Editor in WordPress. Then it’s a big waste of time. I can edit them just as easily using FTP without going to the trouble of using the plugin at all!
In addition, it isn’t going to be much use anyway unless you know enough about PHP to be ABLE to edit the feeds. I know some, but not enough to do what I wanted to do: use the META description of each post, instead of the excerpt.
I was looking for a plugin that’s a little more user-friendly.
I just started using this plugin, but after looking at a post page analysis for my chosen focus keyword, I noticed that it wants me to put this keyword in more places. I just got through “optimizing” another of my sites by REMOVING keywords, which seems to be what many SEO experts are advising. I’d really like to know if anybody has any information about this, before I make any more changes. Looks like this plugin wasn’t updated to reflect the “new SEO”.
I copied the 6 files from my ‘wp-includes’ directory to my theme directory. Now what? Nothing happened at all, that I can see.
– /feed/ looks just the same as before
– I can’t find any way to customize the feedsForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Annoying popup – new to 2.8?I have a partial answer to what caused this, but not a clue as to WHY it happened. When I disabled my GreaseMonkey scripts, the annoying popups stopped.
This kind of thing is changing my behavior wrt installing updates. I’m going to wait as long as possible before updating again, hoping that the bugs will be worked out by someone else first!

In reply to: [Plugin: Google XML Sitemaps] Sitempa still adding trailing slash?My problem is very similar to the one discussed above. I use a customized permalink structure: /%category%/%postname% . This plugin removes the category and leaves only //%postname% !
My first sitemap was hand-coded, and when I switched to this plugin, I thought nothing of it until I noticed that Google Webmaster Tools was listing a lot of my posts as NOT FOUND.
By that time, my “sticky” post, which had been at #3 for my primary keyword, was WAY down somewhere below #100.
My only solution so far is to go back to hand-coding my sitemap. I hope that Google will soon put me back on page 1. Visitors have dropped from an average of 20/day, with peaks up to 175, down to around 5/day.
At this point, I would STRONGLY urge everyone to avoid this plugin if they want to stay in Google’s good graces.

In reply to: WordPress Editor Driving Me InsaneWent to bed right after my rant last night, woke up this morning, and VOILA — the answer to my problem!
Thanks, HandySolo. This is just what I was looking for.
Users -> Your Profile. Scroll down to the bottom of the page. Uncheck the option to use the visual rich editor.
I don’t know why it’s “hidden” in Your Profile — why isn’t it in Write Post? Anyway, you saved me a LOT of grief.
Also, thanks to Otto42 for the little plugin to disable autop. That also works fine! Now I seem to have a lot more control over presentation in writing my blog.
