In reply to: 2 blogs one members database?don’t mean to change the subject here. trying to do something like that. having two layouts with ALMOST the same look, the main difference is the way the post lays out. a two blog solution would solve this.
i found a blog that is doing it the following way.
1) layout #1 = domain.com
2) layout #2 = special.domain.com
will look into hive but also interested in the above url solution…

In reply to: v2.8.4 and plugins and memorymy isp thinks the code idea is a good one. they told me how to monitor the server for errors and can probably pinpoint the culprit.
regarding the size of the limiter, the right size will become apparent over time.

In reply to: v2.8.4 and plugins and memoryshane, what happens. if a plugin in fact is a memory hog does the plugin crash ? is there anything else that can happen ? i will pass this by my isp and see if 32m is the optimum limit.

In reply to: Fix an old broken sitewhile i am in the process of changing the db i am still getting a flow of comments. at this time, all on one post. BUT, if you look at the post on the blog there are no comments. 45K comments in the admin but not public. hoping a new db will stop this bot from doing this…
and the anti-spam plugs as well.

In reply to: Fix an old broken sitei am upgraded incrementally to v2.8.4. i cleaned out all but known users. i have restricted only registered users can comment, etc. changed passwords.
i went to tool > export = deleted garbage. in the options section there is a drop menu to restrict authors and i only see the known authors. i selected “all authors”
i went to tool > import = new xml. site looks ok but there are still over 45K spam posts. is that because i did not create a new and clean DB ? i haven’t created a new db before on an existing site. i will check with isp on how to do that. any other details before i proceed?

In reply to: Fix an old broken sitedoes it make sense to upgrade to v2.8.4 and then tweak ? the current version is v2.1

In reply to: Fix an old broken sitewell i changed password(s) and deleted all plugins. so i am can access admin.
can you clarify the xml export. do you mean in phpMyAdmin in the area where i backup db i, instead of exporting all the files as sql is select the user file only, for example, and export the xml.
how do i read the xml ? with what application ?
oh, i meant 57K comments, not users. so i would select wp-comments ?

Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: my gravatarinstalled a new gravatar and changed the rating to “G” from “PG” thinking maybe that is the problem. still no gravatar. in faq gravatar suggests when problem like this occurs to notify wordpress forum and the forum will find the connection. thanks.
