THANKS all 🙂
I suppose so 🙂
IMO it’d be ideal if a future iteration of WordPress let you input your FTP password somewhere so that it can be stored to the server. The issue really is that I have to type in the password all the time. Why can’t it just be saved in the Settings tab or something? I think it’d be a lot easier than having to worry about hacks.
Just a thought. suPHP it is, I s’pose 😉
Thanks jd. I’m aware of the security risks of making this public, but thanks for reinforcing it 🙂 I’ll consider suPHP, I suppose.
Just one question: in case I do try the risky method, how do I easily identify what the Apache2 user runs as?
(and what kind of real WordPress person would actually put spaces in filenames and directories? 😉 )
haha, you can install it, but you still have to activate the module 😛 Right? I’m not going to take any risks. Plus, my PHP is outdated so I have a good excuse!
I guess I could just set the group ownership of the files to “nobody” or “apache” (I’ll have to figure out which one is used). I suppose that’s what WP wants then, right?
Thanks Otto 🙂
Otto, thanks.
Without requiring suPHP, I’m curious to know what, if anything, would allow me to “create the files under the username that owns the WordPress scripts itself.”
On the server, all of the files *are* owned by the user.
Should I chmod the files to a specific permissions? Is there an easier way?
I’m recompiling Apache right now to enable suPHP, but I’m just curious about easier alternatives because I host some WordPress blogs on sites where I don’t have that kind control and can’t enable suPHP.
Thanks again.
Good call – I don’t think I ever turned this on. Must be a default setting.
Thanks for the fast turnaround, mrmist!

In reply to: Bug with Akismet on WP 2.5.1?btw, speaking of which, it’d be nice to incorporate WordPress commenter moderation functionality into Akismet. In other words, I would like the ability to Approve/Delete comments within Akismet and have them immediately removed (which could potentially solve the problem I describe in this post). That way, I can hit Delete and not have to scroll through the 300+ lines of amateur porn videos, and I can approve the comment exactly where it is in the queue than to have to go scroll through all comments to hit the “Despam marked comments” to whitelist the better commenters. It’d make my life (and I’m sure many others) a lot easier.

In reply to: Bug with Akismet on WP 2.5.1?The new version of Akismet *does* let me navigate beyond the first 50 posts, but it’s not a fix to let me navigate to ALL my comments. I have hundreds of spam comments just sitting there, and page 7 is the same as page 8 and page 9, for whatever reason. I can’t understand what’s happening here. 🙁

In reply to: Bug with Akismet on WP 2.5.1?I wonder if the best course of action is to revert to 2.5… 🙁

In reply to: Google Custom Search in WordPressSorry lazyazian – didn’t mean to leave you there hanging.
Here’s the information that I used.
For the search box:
<!-- Google CSE Search Box Begins --> <form id="searchbox_014170601555854922742:d3x1hsdptlk" action="http://www.techipedia.com/search/"> <input type="hidden" name="cx" value="014170601555854922742:d3x1hsdptlk" /> <input type="hidden" name="cof" value="FORID:11" /> <input name="q" type="text" size="20" /> <input type="submit" name="sa" value="Search" /> </form> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://google.com/coop/cse/brand?form=searchbox_014170601555854922742:d3x1hsdptlk"></script> <!-- Google CSE Search Box Ends -->On the search page:
<div id="content_cse"> <!-- Google Search Result Snippet Begins --> <div id="results_014170601555854922742:d3x1hsdptlk"></div> <script type="text/javascript"> var googleSearchIframeName = "results_014170601555854922742:d3x1hsdptlk"; var googleSearchFormName = "searchbox_014170601555854922742:d3x1hsdptlk"; var googleSearchFrameWidth = 400; var googleSearchDomain = "www.google.com"; var googleSearchPath = "/cse"; </script> <script type="text/javascript" src="http://www.google.com/afsonline/show_afs_search.js"></script> <!-- Google Search Result Snippet Ends --> </div>You WILL need to fill in the variables yourself — 014170601555854922742:d3x1hsdptlk is specific to my CSE and won’t work. Similarly, my code shows my domain — edit it for your search page. 🙂

In reply to: Bug with Akismet on WP 2.5.1?Frustrating. Any way around this or do I have to dig into the database?

In reply to: Bug with Akismet on WP 2.5.1?Okay, no responses from anyone. That’s cool. My question, then:
Is anyone seeing this or not? 🙂

In reply to: Google Custom Search in WordPressOkay, figured it out after spending about 7 hours straight on this PITA.
Google wasn’t generating the code properly. I copied and pasted from another site and modified the variables and it seems to be fine now.
Yeah, I kind of wish I had a better solution to offer, but this is it. 🙂

In reply to: Google Custom Search in WordPressbtw, I tried this, but still, a blank page:
