OK, I can check that out. * Here’s the link on my server: * [http://www.kl93.com/wp-tell-a-friend/](http://www.kl93.com/wp-tell-a-friend/) * I can send Persian that I cut-and-pasted to gmail successfully. See if it works for you. I can only cut-and-paste, but I don’t think typing it should make a difference (but I could be wrong there). * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Lots of "/?s=" in log files](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lots-of-s-in-log-files/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lots-of-s-in-log-files/#post-4150719) * BBQ would be used to prevent actual malicious requests, it obviously wouldn’t catch these because they’re valid and not malicious. * With the big, big caveat that I’m not a security expert (but I do take security seriously, and my current workplace of the last 10 years involves working on sites with 60-80 million pages views a month, we’ve seen just about everything:), I don’t see anything to worry about. The how and why of these requests is probably impossible to know. It’s obviously very strange, but I’m not sure what you can do other than block IPs. I’m also not sure what you’d gain by blocking valid ( though unusual) requests. Anyway, perhaps someone else will chime in. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [editing tell a friend pop up form](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-tell-a-friend-pop-up-form/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-tell-a-friend-pop-up-form/#post-4150710) * As far as lining the button to the right, you should be able to do that with CSS. Update `tell-a-friend.css`: * ``` .TellAFriend_Button { color:#000000; width:100px; margin-right:100px; position:absolute; right:0; } ``` * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [editing tell a friend pop up form](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-tell-a-friend-pop-up-form/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-tell-a-friend-pop-up-form/#post-4150700) * I’ve installed the plugin and sent myself a test email with a bit of Persian I copied off of Wikipedia. As I don’t read Persian (but I do know it reads right to left), I can’t verify this was sent properly. But I did get in my email what I copied into my form: * همهٔ افراد بشر آزاد به دنیا می‌آیند و حیثیت و حقوقشان با هم برابر است، همهٔ‌شان اندیشه و وجدان دارند و باید در برابر یکدیگر با روح برادری رفتار کنند. * I got the sample copy from [Wikipedia: Persian Language](http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Persian_language) * Have you tried multiple email clients? I used gmail, so if you didn’t try gmail, you may try that and see if you get different results. * As far as the button placement, I’ll address that separately. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [editing tell a friend pop up form](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-tell-a-friend-pop-up-form/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-tell-a-friend-pop-up-form/#post-4150696) * OK, thank you for the update. I’ll take a look in a bit. If no one else replies, I’ll get back to you. I see you’ve also posted on the forum for the plugin itself, though it looks like it hasn’t been too active. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Lots of "/?s=" in log files](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lots-of-s-in-log-files/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/lots-of-s-in-log-files/#post-4150694) * I can’t say for sure with the information you have provided, but the given that the links you’ve listed are actual pages on your site, (and no apparent url manipulation for sql injection being passed), it doesn’t look malicious. It is possible they are bot (which could be search engines, etc.) related. Can you post the complete, relevant lines from your log?. * Is “/p=741” still a page on your site? How many of these hits are you seeing? And out of how many hits in general. * If it really worries you, you can always install the [Block Bad Queries (BBQ)](http://wordpress.org/plugins/block-bad-queries/) plugin. I use it on all my WP sites. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [editing tell a friend pop up form](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-tell-a-friend-pop-up-form/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/editing-tell-a-friend-pop-up-form/#post-4150691) * What are you using for a “tell a friend” form? A plugin? If so, which one? * Without knowing how the email is being sent (and if the data is stored in a database before sending), it’s hard to say, but it’s most likely a utf encoding issue. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Switching From Text To Visual](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/switching-from-text-to-visual/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/switching-from-text-to-visual/#post-4149840) * Well, I mean invalid syntactically 🙂 I know TinyMCE will delete HTML syntax it doesn’t like. That’s the only time I’ve noticed my own HTML being deleted by switching editors. I have a friend who will only use the CKEditor plugin because he doesn’t like the TinyMCE “quirks.” * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Moving wordpress to different URL](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wordpress-to-different-url/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wordpress-to-different-url/#post-4150164) * That worked for me and is how I’ve done it in the past (note that you’ll still need the subdirectory name in the URL for wp-admin). * Additional help: [ How do I move WordPress from a subdirectory to the root directory? * [Moving WordPress from Subdirectory to Root – FAQ](http://askwpgirl.com/moving-wordpress-from-subdirectory-to-root-faq/) * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Moving wordpress to different URL](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wordpress-to-different-url/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wordpress-to-different-url/#post-4150160) * Maybe this will help?

Have you verified (say, via FTP) that the file is actually in that location? From the information given, it just looks like the page isn’t there (404). * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Moving wordpress to different URL](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wordpress-to-different-url/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/moving-wordpress-to-different-url/#post-4150137) * Have you changed siteurl and home in wp_options? * [Codex: Changing The Site URL](http://codex.wordpress.org/Changing_The_Site_URL) * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Wp-Admin: ERR_TOO_MANY_REDIRECTS](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-err_too_many_redirects/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wp-admin-err_too_many_redirects/#post-4149548) * I’m getting the redirect error on your home page as well as wp-admin. * I’ve had this happen before, unfortunately, a different issue each time. You might check the home_url in the wp_options table (I’ve had to add www to the url). If you’re using `define('FORCE_SSL_ADMIN', true);` in wp-config.php, you might try commenting that out. You might check if .htaccess has been modified. Generally this is caused at the server level. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Use a code instead of user name for site url – possible?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/use-a-code-instead-of-user-name-for-site-url-possible/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/use-a-code-instead-of-user-name-for-site-url-possible/#post-4149546) * I’ve used the [SF Author Url Control](http://wordpress.org/plugins/sf-author-url-control/) plugin for this very thing. * It’s not randomized (that I’m aware of), but once you install the plugin, you can give each user a unique “profile url slug” of your choosing. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Switching From Text To Visual](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/switching-from-text-to-visual/) * [Scriptrunner (Doug Sparling)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/scriptrunner/) * (@scriptrunner) * [12 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/switching-from-text-to-visual/#post-4149821) * To further clarify (as it could possibly be part of your issue), one feature of the editor (TinyMCE) is that invalid HTML will be removed if you switch editor tabs (from text to visual, for example).
