In reply to: gravatars from skippy does’t workWhat exactly is the problem? It’s not clear to me what the problem is. I see gravatar images in the link you provided.

In reply to: Insert an extra paragraph on the home page.snotty: your main page is (usually) controlled by index.php.
yes this would display on every page view; unless you use the conditional tags or home.php, as suggested by moshu.

In reply to: WP stopped sending emails to new registrantsEmail itself is largely contained in /wp-includes/pluggable-functions.php, in the wp_mail() function. But without knowing what changes you’ve made, it’s hard to say whether you’ve adjusted the return value of some function into a null value, which some other functions expects not to be null and therefore aborts further processing.
Have you checked your Apache error log for any error messages?

In reply to: Insert an extra paragraph on the home page.You need to intercept [The_Loop] (see also [The_Loop_In_Action] for more examples).
Start a counter before the beginning of your Loop:
$mycount = 0;Then, in the loop at the place you want the static text, you check the value of $mycount:
if (0 == $mycount) {
// do your thing here
}And finally, just before the loop ends, you increment $mycount:
$mycount++;In this way, you only execute something on the first pass of the loop.
An alternate solution would be to place your content above the loop, so that it happens before any posts get sent to the user.

In reply to: Why not distribute source code with ZIPfiles?http://wordpress.org/download/
Two blue boxes on the right side. One links to a zip, the other to a gzipped tarball.

In reply to: WP stopped sending emails to new registrantsIf you kept records of what changes you made where, you could try to undo them, one by one, checking after each revision to see if mail functionality is restored.
Without knowing what changes were made, it’s hard to say whether anything you did could the cause. Generally speaking, though, things don’t often “just stop working”; so I strongly suspect your changes to be the cause.

In reply to: Categories Index / Table of Contents?Do you mean wordpress.com? If you’re a wordpress.com user, then there’s nothing you can do. Templates are, by design, restricted there.

In reply to: WP stopped sending emails to new registrantsDid emails work before you started making changes?
Have you confirmed that the emails were not flagged as spam at the receiving end, and automatically filtered?
Your host should be able to check the mail server logs to determine whether the messages went out. If they did, then the receiving ISP should be able to confirm whether they received the messages.

In reply to: Hacked WP Files, Trackbacks, and QuestionsCheck with your hosting provider about what can be done to restrict access. 777 is, obviously, not ideal; but many hosting providers are not set up to provide anything better. If you host can’t — or won’t — help you, consider shopping for a new host.

In reply to: Error establishing a database connectionWhere was the
sql_violethourdatabase created? You mentioned “personal firewall” which makes me suspect that you created the database on your workstation?The database needs to be created on the database server supplied by your host. If GoDaddy told you to use
mysql85.secureserver.net, then you’ll need to double-check the login name and password, to make sure you’ve keyed them in correctly.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: add_action questionWhat diagnostic steps have you taken? For example, have you made the first step of your function

In reply to: import users/membersSomeone on the WP Pro mailing list might be willing to write an importer for you. It should be trivial to iterate over a CSV file containing names and emails, construct user names, assign passwords to be the same as the email address, and populate the wp_users and wp_usermeta table.
