Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: V1.5 Broken ThemeProbably you’ve created pages that use a template file available in one theme (the default 1.5 theme includes template files named “Archives” and “Links”) that aren’t available in the theme you’re trying to use now.
Either edit the pages you have using either of those template files to use the default template instead, or create replacement template files for your new theme(s).

In reply to: Need Help diagnosing cause of slowdownWell, the MP3 files probably account for a large chunk of your bandwidth.
Suspiciously, last month there were almost 6500 hits from a single IP address (qualcomm). Bloglines servers (routers, at least) accounted for 2 of your top 3 visitors (possibly this is just a search robot).
But when so many single IP addresses are accounting for SO many hits individually, something’s up.
Orrrr, the site is just really popular and people have developed an addiction to it and you need to upgrade your hosting to handle their traffic 🙂

In reply to: Block IP AddressJust type it into the spam words list in your Options/Discussion screen. Make sure you don’t leave any blank lines in there though 😉

In reply to: Comment spam stopper for Windows server?Doh. That fix works for RC6, but RC7 doesn’t work on me blog. Message is
url dashes, unknown url, Array. I assume, then, that the plugin is *technically* working, but that the new version I copy/pasted from on wp-plugins.org is goomped? Dunno 🙁Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Enabling Sending Referrers.Well, I’m sorry you don’t have the patience to keep trying. You say it’s something that started happening out of the blue, and we already know that having
httpas the value forsiteurlcauses the problem, we just have to figure out why WP is resetting it on you. And if you’ve been able to duplicate the error at every machine you’ve tried, it’s obviously a hosting issue. Whether whatever they changed exposes an actual bug in WP or not, it is a reversible situation – somehow.And without someone experiencing the potential bug (you, but not anymore), how do you expect it to be fixed? Maybe Jose’s problem is caused by the exact same thing yours is (he’s looking for a different host now, as far as I know), and the same fix (when it’s found) will work for you.
Anyways, have a better day tomorrow.
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: wp122 and wp15 share one db?Nope, 1.5 and 1.2 cannot use the same tables for data. They can technically share a database (any number of installations can, of any version) provided each installation uses a unique table prefix (set in the
wp-config.phpfile), but not data unless they’re the same version. Even then, you’ll have problems with administering the thing and comments.So your only option is to either work from a fresh 1.5 install, or copy your existing database and use that for 1.5. When you’re ready to make the jump completely (presumably when 1.5 is released), just change back to the 1.2 database and upgrade it (after backing it up, natch).

In reply to: Enabling Sending Referrers.Sarcasm is an appealing trait in a person.
The reason I was double-checking (particularly the part about hitting phpMyAdmin after renaming the htaccess file before going back into WP) is because that exact problem (and I do mean *exact*) has been solved twice now, and nowhere at all (until just now) did you mention anything about doing it. You mentioned doing “everything”, but you also mention every other suggested fix – except that one.
Good luck.

In reply to: Comment spam stopper for Windows server?I just added the credit line to the text file, I forgot to copy it from the changed plugin file here. It should be:
// Credit for this function goes to Kriek, found at http://ca3.php.net/checkdnsrrForum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Enabling Sending Referrers.TG, the
.htaccessfile was causing that exact problem for someone else – have you tried renaming it or deleting it to get it out of the loop, *then* fixing thesiteurlsetting in phpMyAdmin before trying WP again?Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Comment spam stopper for Windows server?Here it is 🙂

That function added to the plugin (after the class definitions) will add Windows Server compatibility without requiring any other code changes.
checkdnsrrdoesn’t exist at all in the Windows version of PHP, so you can name a function after it. *nix functionality *should* be unaffected since it checks if the function exists first, but I can’t test that here.It does require that
nslookupexist on the Windows machine, so this might not work on Win98 or XP Home.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Comment spam stopper for Windows server?actually, unless your plugins do interesting things with the rewrite rules, it doesn’t have to be IIS, it can still be Apache in windows. the incompatibility (at least in Spaminator) stems from PHP calls that aren’t windows compatible.
The one I posted about a couple days ago, for example. The docs claim there is a PEAR equivalent though, but I haven’t tried messing yet 🙂

In reply to: Comment spam stopper for Windows server?i can give you a test blog and ftp access to my IIS server if you want, take about 5 minutes to square up 🙂

In reply to: How can I hide a page ?No problem 🙂
Actually, thanks to the wonky way this forum makes you post code, my example template file above ended up with a lot of double-quotes instead of single-quotes. That’s likely what the problem was, and why I just slapped those text files on my server 🙂
Have fun!
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Contact page pluginIf someone were to make a ContactMe plugin, there are two (obvious) ways to go about it. A completely self-contained version (the Easy way), or one tied into WordPress’s spam stuff, including other spam plugins (the Hard way).
But I’m a masochist when it comes to this stuff, so I’ll look at the Hard way first 🙂
