I had a bunch of people stress test it for me earlier and have yet to hit a snag. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[User Submitted Posts – Enable Users to Submit Posts from the Front End] [Plugin: User Submitted Posts] May Be Malicious](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-user-submitted-posts-may-be-malicious/) * [spidermann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spidermann/) * (@spidermann) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-user-submitted-posts-may-be-malicious/#post-1928385) * I visited in various browsers and didn’t get any warning of the sort. * Where was your security warning originating from? Anti-virus/malware software? Google? Local Firewall? * Just curious as I haven’t been able to find a single report about it via a web search and Google malicious site search. * EDIT: * Okay, I see it now. It is coming from Google. * It seems to only be happening when going to the demo of that particular plug- in. * Most likely an errant report by someone. Web admin can fix it by reporting it as an error to Google. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [setting up a test site](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/setting-up-a-test-site/) * [spidermann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spidermann/) * (@spidermann) * [15 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/setting-up-a-test-site/#post-1926571) * Did you use Export and then Import? * When moving the content over I would use those two (they are in the Tools section). You will have the chance to tell the test site what to bring over, which will includes categories, images, tags, authors, etc. The only thing it won’t grab is things like Flash videos, but for the most part you won’t need to worry about that unless there is a specific reason to test against Flash. * I, too, have a test subdomain for pre-deployment of new features and this is how I do it. I keep all plug-ins the same, the theme the same, and just use Export/ Import for the content. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Nagging Issues](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nagging-issues/) * [spidermann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spidermann/) * (@spidermann) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nagging-issues/#post-1916261) * alltrue- * At this point, going in and changing percentage size of images through the WordPress editor is the time saving way compared to uploading new versions. That will give you code per image to resize them for the new format without having to resize the images directly. * Do you have a public preview of the new format you are creating? Being able to see it in action would allow my mind to formulate a possible fix outside of the one posted above. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Nagging Issues](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nagging-issues/) * [spidermann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spidermann/) * (@spidermann) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/nagging-issues/#post-1916152) * Images: * What is your actual issue with the images? Is it the resolution or the file size? * When I looked at your site all I saw were images that were already resized. * Either way here are two solutions that might help out some: * Mac: iPhoto is included on every Mac. You can resize upon export, which will help bring the file size down as well. * WinPC: Picasa is free from Google. It performs much the same as iPhoto. * If you are a power user there is always Aperture (Mac only) and Photoshop. Either will bring resolutions and final sizes down to manageable levels. * Without more information on the actual image issue, that is about all I can give. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Registered users (subscribers) bypassing Dashboard?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/registered-users-subscribers-bypassing-dashboard/) * [spidermann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spidermann/) * (@spidermann) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/registered-users-subscribers-bypassing-dashboard/#post-1916150) * There are plug-ins that allow bypassing of the Dashboard upon login. * Can’t think of any directly at the moment by name, but a quick search of “login dashboard” should reveal the proper results in the plug-in directory. * Read-only access is a given for the Subscriber role. I don’t see any reason to go beyond that, but you could always create a “Staff” role with the same permissions if naming is an issue. * [http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities](http://codex.wordpress.org/Roles_and_Capabilities) * That link, at the very bottom, has some resource links to roles and capabilities plug-ins that will allow you to create the “Staff” role. * As for allowing some pages and not others, you would have to set access level for each page. Again, a plug-in would be needed. * Hope that helps. I’m sure someone will come in here and make me look like a rank amateur rather quickly with more extensive knowledge, and that’s okay. 😀 * EDIT: * Just thought of something on the pages. * I think, and this would have to be looked at more in-depth, but with a plug-in you might be able to restrict access to pages within a certain category. So if you have that group of pages the “Staff” are not allowed to see, you could restrict access to the categories those pages are in by their “Staff” role. * Something to look in to as it would make restrictions a lot easier than on a page by page basis. * Forum: [Hacks](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/hacks/) In reply to: [unusual # of comments from eastern Europe](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unusual-of-comments-from-eastern-europe/) * [spidermann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spidermann/) * (@spidermann) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/unusual-of-comments-from-eastern-europe/#post-1914229) * Welcome to the club. 🙂 * Two of my sites are now getting hit with spam comments from Japan and Spain. Gibberesh stuff pulled from spammer twitter accounts and cross posted to the sites. The only common thread is a hashtag for a musical artist, so it seems someone is using bad methods to try and game Google and other search engine rankings. * Akismet catches them and marks them spam, I delete them, and move on. Nothing more you can do about it except accept that it is a part of life on the web. The only permanent solution is to turn commenting off completely. * Forum: [Everything else WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/miscellaneous/) In reply to: [Can I Sell A Fully Functional WordPress Site?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-i-sell-a-fully-functional-wordpress-site/) * [spidermann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spidermann/) * (@spidermann) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-i-sell-a-fully-functional-wordpress-site/#post-1912988) * Yeah, I’ve made a somewhat business out of it. * You aren’t charging for the software itself nor are you selling the software itself. You are charging for your services and knowledge in putting it together and making it function in the way the customer wants. * Nothing illegal about that or against any terms I am aware of. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [post(ing) issues](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posting-issues-3/) * Thread Starter [spidermann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spidermann/) * (@spidermann) * [15 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posting-issues-3/#post-1877913) * I’ve always set the permalink structure before making any posts. This site is my main site and I use the settings for every site I make after it. (you know, the template for future work. 😉 ) * I do use a Page Order plugin but nothing for posts. Never had a problem with the page order plugin and have never had a need to deactivate or remove it. * I just found that this issue is hitting another site. It is a media site (images only) and I tried making a new post. When I hit “insert into post” it 404s. * Both sites are on different servers. * Starting to think there is something going on with the servers…investigating but nothing is popping up. * Thanks for the input, much appreciated. Just very weird that it started within the past day or so. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[AddToAny Share Buttons] [Plugin: AddToAny: Share/Bookmark/Email Button] Just installed update, Crashes when posting.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-addtoany-sharebookmarkemail-button-just-installed-update-crashes-when-posting/) * [spidermann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spidermann/) * (@spidermann) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-addtoany-sharebookmarkemail-button-just-installed-update-crashes-when-posting/#post-1866298) * Do you have TwitConnect installed? * I know the two are both pushing the same things through headers, which is why I had to disable this plug-in for the moment. * Only started with this update, so there might be other plug-in incpompatibilies out there. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Fast Secure Contact Form] [Plugin: Fast Secure Contact Form] Multiple select box?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-fast-secure-contact-form-multiple-select-box/) * Thread Starter [spidermann](https://wordpress.org/support/users/spidermann/) * (@spidermann) * [15 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-fast-secure-contact-form-multiple-select-box/#post-1854529) * Just updated to the latest version and the select-multiple works perfectly. * Thank you very much for adding it and being so quick about it.
