Forum: Hacks
In reply to: adding action hook to rss feedOkay, never mind. I guess the server session is actually caching the feed for the user or something. I’m not sure, honestly, what’s going on, but after leaving it alone for a sufficient time period, my browser fetched the newest version of the RSS feed with the node that I hooked in within functions.php.

In reply to: start attribute on ordered listsAh, good point. Thanks.
Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: start attribute on ordered listsWell, even though I’m comfortable with HTML, I do like to use the visual editor. So what I did was add the attribute in the HTML editor, and then switched back to the GUI editor, at which point it stripped the attribute off.
I did just discover, however, that if you switch to the HTML editor, add the attribute, save it, and then never again look at the post in the GUI editor, it will actually retain your start attribute. So I guess there’s a workaround–you can just do this when you’re finished working on the post.

In reply to: Meta sidebar login/logout issues.God, this is funny, but posting here actually inspired me to check something out that I hadn’t considered. I remembered a similar problem that I was having once with a forum that I had installed, and the solution was actually the same. The problem lay in the blog settings.
On the General tab of the Settings interface, there is something that says: “WordPress Address (URL)”. I had this set to http://www.uatu.net/blog/, but actually, I’ve got this set up as a subdomain, so even though that’s technically the correct directory, the address that works is http://blog.uatu.net/. Anyway, this created a rather weird result in which to read the blog, I’d use the subdomain, but to use the administrative features, I’d use the /blog/ URL. Firefox was apparently caching my login info for the /blog/ directory but not for the subdomain version of the URL.
Anyway, now that I’ve changed the settings, everything is sorted out.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Meta sidebar login/logout issues.I’ve been having this problem myself…pretty much forever. It happens on multiple computers and multiple installations of WordPress with different versions of the Firefox browser. Can anybody explain?
I think cody has explained it pretty well, but just to reiterate:
Firefox _will_ let me into the administrative back-end, and once there, everything works fine. It’s only when on the public side of your site that WordPress seems to have no idea who you are when using Firefox. So for example, rather than presenting “Log Out” and “Site Admin” options over in the sidebar functions, in Firefox it presents “Log In” and “Register” links. Clicking the “Register” link does, in fact, take you to the registration page, yet clicking the “Log In” page brings you to the administrative dashboard.
Similarly, in Firefox the “Edit” links on the public post display will not appear, and even the WordPress Stats plugin counts your visit as a non-logged-in user. Also, the commenting form doesn’t identify you as a logged in user. And yet, I assure you, I am logged in. I can go directly to the wp-admin directory and WordPress knows who I am.
This is really bothersome, and I’ve lived with it for a long time now hoping that it would eventually be resolved, and I’m surprised that nobody else is talking about this on these support forums. Could it really just be me and Cody?
