In reply to: Question about spamnot sure if this is ” new ” phenom as i have recently turned off my spam blocker on isp. i’ve given up scrutinizing over all the ip’s, which i did in the beginning but became overwhelmed.
now i use akismet and quickly scan at least 10-times a day what this plug catches and hit the “delete all.” this has proven to be much more efficient.
will continue this process until something better / worse develops.

In reply to: New “paragraph” added when publishingis your ” visual editor when writing ” activated? post writing can get quirky when VE is active.
btw – OSX shouldn’t affect behavior.
also – play with firefox and see how long you use safari ; – )

In reply to: Widgets…do you mean…
post #1 has only widget = facebook
post #2 has only widget = myspace
you have options in the widget manager to install as ” template / file specific ” so if post #1 and #2 are on different templates ( post #1 has a sidebar #1, post #2 a sidebar #2 ) than mission accomplished. there may be other ways but that’s my limited experience with this issue.

In reply to: Add category – no permission to do thati don’t believe an ” author ” has the authority to add a ” category ” to their post. author can write a post. if author feels a new category on the blog is appropriate the author needs to convince admin or an editor.

In reply to: double posts display side, but not admin sidei upgraded from v2.5.1 to 2.6.3.
as soon as i went to my plugins admin there was a red warning saying a plugin could not be activated. the error message was the dreaded =
active_plugins to a:1:{i:0;s:69:”/../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../../tmp/ro8kbsmag.txt”;}.then it went away. i went into my db via phpmyadmin but could not find any of the code there ( though i probably did not search correctly ) and may have missed it. also looked at my upload path but that is ok.
i did find that a valuable plugin ( minipost2 ) that has been working great caused the double post problem. wondering what that is all about.
i deleted and reinstalled a new minipost2 plugin but that did not fix it. not much activity on the plug author’s site.
contemplating changing my db password, etc.

In reply to: double posts display side, but not admin siderecently have same problem. my isp is scheduled for an upgrade in several days. last one was way before i had a problem.
all posts are doubling, even tripling up. recent posts match this issue. recent posts are normal when in single post view and category view.

In reply to: Spam attack!it seems i am repeating myself for emphasis…the biggest pain at the moment are comments where the email address, url, and comments are only random letter/number comments that are coming in on select older posts = impossible to put in blacklist/moderation box but when in the mood i paste the ip address in the blacklist. not sure how to jury-rig this issue.

In reply to: Spam attack!after reading the link jeremy gave us i have edited my discussion options as follows to see what happens.
1) i had a ton of ip addresses and words in the blacklist. i have taken all the words out and put them in the moderation panel.
2) only ip addresses in blacklist for now.
going to hold off on plugins for awhile.
i did try the htaccess last january when my site was hacked for the third time but that was too restrictive. i have added sabre several months ago to gatekeep registration and that has helped a lot. http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/sabre/

In reply to: Meaning of image classes?in admin section > settings > miscellaneous you will find “image size” options. this is the location for also controlling sizes in custom fields in the post admin area.
on my site my default upload size is “medium”
wp-image-627 is the ID for the image uploaded. even if you can have an absolute path for an image you may be required to also have the correct image ID or you get a path that is broken.

In reply to: Query Children of Category Parent1) this is code to get main category and it works =
<h6>» <?php wp_list_categories('include=148&title_li=&style=none'); ?></h6>( NOTE: 148 is a main category )2) i was able to insert a header option (header2.php) in a new template instead of “get_header()” with the following =
<?php include (TEMLATEPATH . '/header2.php'); ?>3) maybe a category “child1” can be summoned via a path? the code below does not work, it is just a concept =
<h6>» <?php include (CATEGORYPATH . '208&title_li=&style=none'); ?></h6>( NOTE: 208 is a child1 )4) NOTE: below is an example of one particular category sequence
main category = “objects” = ID 148 ( slug = objects ) = this works!
child1 = “home” = ID 208 ( slug = home-objects )
child2 = “kitchen” = ID 219 ( slug = kitchen-home )anyone?

In reply to: Can’t embed Youtube Videosi use this code. it is valid.
<object type=”application/x-shockwave-flash” data=”http://www.youtube.com/v/path=en” height=”333″ width=”400″><param name=”movie” value=”http://www.youtube.com/v/path=en”></param></object>
drop in the appropriate “data” and “value” url and dial in the size.
