In reply to: Embed code disappears (for some users) in WordPress 2.7I don’t understand why only Admins can post a YouTube video. That’s ridiculous. My blog has almost a dozen authors and I want them all to be able to post YouTube videos, but I don’t want to give them all Admin authority to do that.
YouTube videos are content, and that’s what authors do: post content. I shouldn’t have to give every Author the ability to change the blog’s design and settings just so they can show a dog dressed up as Thor.
If this is really an official restriction and not a glitch, why doesn’t it specify “You must have Admin authority” on all of the help pages where it explains how to post a YouTube video?
I’m not saying you guys are wrong that authors aren’t able to post videos. What I want to know is why, and where does it officially say that?
This ticks me off, because I just did a huge post on my site about how to paste in YouTube code, only to have my authors replying that it doesn’t work for them. That’s pretty embarrassing.

In reply to: Imported posts show up dated 1969? Why? How to fix?I figured it out. I’m posting this just to help anyone else who may search on these terms in the future.
The import problem has been solved! Here’s what was happening:
Check out the code on the post that was showing up as 1969.

PM? If you’re using military time, you don’t need a PM. The odd thing is that the morning posts with AM after it import just fine, but posts with PM would cause it to be import as 1969.
A simple find-and-replace of my exported text files cleaned up the posts and now they’re importing without a fuss. As soon as I’ve finished my test of a few more imports, we should be good to go.
In the meantime, enjoy reading more and more of the archived posts.

In reply to: Imported posts show up dated 1969? Why? How to fix?I may just have to import all of the entries and manually correct them afterward, but I’d hate to do that. Doesn’t anyone have a solution?

In reply to: Imported posts show up dated 1969? Why? How to fix?I’m surprised there aren’t any responses. Maybe it’s just because I posted in the middle of the night.
I can’t be the first person to have this problem, but when I did a search for 1969 all I could find was posts about people wanting to set their posts to years earlier than that. Am I really having that unique a problem?
Any suggestions are appreciated. Thank you very much for reading.

In reply to: Permalink pages not workingThat did it, man! Thank you very much, LenK.

In reply to: Permalink pages not workingFYI: I was looking over the section called ‘Using “Pretty” permalinks’ and I’m checking to see if I have all of the requirements met.
I have an .htaccess file and it’s set to be writeable.
I don’t know if my host server is Apache. That could be the problem. I’m hosted by Powweb.com, so I’ll go check their help resources.If I’m limited to the default, then c’est la vie.

In reply to: Permalink pages not workingThank you, LenK. You’re right. If I put it back to default, it works.
Shouldn’t WordPress be rewriting the .htaccess file if I select one of the other options? I would rather use the year and month to classify my files.
I read over the “Using Permalinks” help file. To be honest, I don’t know what to make of it. I had a similar reaction looking at the .htacess file.
Any suggestions or quick fixes?
