 * Hi Jeremy, thanks for your help. I actually figured out the problem by accident
   while trying to put the widget back in so you can see it. This time, it worked
   perfectly. It took me a minute to figure out what was different:
 * Yesterday, I had made the Title field in the widget blank, because that’s the
   way I actually want it (I don’t think a twitter widget needs any introduction).
   But, not having a Title apparently causes the weird problem where the sidebar
   pushes down the main content. I found that if I put ” ” in the Title field, I
   was able to achieve what I wanted.
 * Of course, it doesn’t seem like leaving out Title text should cause such a strange
   result, but hopefully my work-around will help someone else.

 * Oh, I figured it out. It turns out that I hadn’t completed the WordFence cache
   set up steps, so the caching hadn’t actually been turned on yet!
 * Hope that helps someone else.

 * Well, I went ahead and bought the Add-on package in the hopes that it would allow
   me to override the messages listed in my previous message. The add-on package
   does make it very easy to customize the emails and error messages generated by
   New User Approve, but it unfortunately doesn’t help me edit/override the account
   activation messages and emails already being generated by BuddyPress. Those are
   the ones that are most confusing when combined with New User Approve, because
   they give the impression that the account has been fully authorized, when it 
   hasn’t yet. It would be very helpful if the New User Approve add-on could provide
   an override interface for the BuddyPress messages, but I can understand why it
   doesn’t.

 * My mistake, it appears the plugin is working, but it fires after the user is 
   told that an activation email is on its way and after the activation email is
   sent. Perhaps that is fine if I can modify all of the messages that the user 
   is getting so that it’s clear what all has to happen before they will have successfully
   run the registration gauntlet. Does the paid Add-ons package allow me to edit
   each of the following messages currently being displayed to the user?
 * User sees this message after submitting their registration:
    “Check Your Email
   To Activate Your Account! You have successfully created your account! To begin
   using this site you will need to activate your account via the email we have 
   just sent to your address.”
 * Then user receives this email:
    “Thanks for registering! To complete the activation
   of your account please click the following link: [http://exampleurl.org/activate/675e9ea5fde4a71e6161daee7c15d1cb/&#8221](http://exampleurl.org/activate/675e9ea5fde4a71e6161daee7c15d1cb/&#8221);
 * When they click that link, they get a message that their account is now activated:
   “
   Your account is now active! Your account was activated successfully! You can 
   now log in with the username and password you provided when you signed up.”
 * But, if they try to login, they get this error message:
    “ERROR: Your account
   is still pending approval.”

 * Sorry, I meant BuddyPress. BuddyPress is what is handling the registration form
   and confirmation emails. It seems like somehow I need to get this plugin to take
   over in place of BuddyPress, right?

 * I have the exact same question.
 * Kozzmen, or anyone else, am I correct that if I always remember to change the
   users’ Forum Role to “Blocked” at the same time as using this plugin, that that
   would do the trick? I know that’s not ideal, but could suffice for now. I’d be
   happy to pay for a plugin that solved this problem automatically!

 * Apologies. I discovered that on this site, I in fact do have trouble uploading
   files larger than 1MB via the WP Media Loader. Strange, because the php.ini settings
   are already at 50MB. Looks like I have some server admin investigation ahead 
   of me. 🙁

 * I just tried updating my plugin installation with the code in /trunk and it took
   care of the Askimet problem – but now the textarea fields are shaped funny. They
   are long and skinny. Maybe I made a mistake in the process of doing the manual
   update. I don’t normally do it that way. Just thought I’d let you know in case
   it wasn’t user error.

 * I think this must be the problem that I’m having. At least, I can’t find any 
   other way to explain the fact that Google hasn’t indexed my site. But, I don’t
   appear to have any of the offending lines mentioned above in my header. Is there
   something else in my header that could be doing it:

 * I figured it out. I needed to install and turn-on runPHP to execute the PHP script
   within a Page. But, that also necessitated re-writing the installation script
   so that all the PHP logic happened within one PHP instance:
 * <?php
    if (function_exists(‘get_recent_comments’)) { print “<h2>”; _e(‘Recent
   Comments:’); print “</h2>
    - “;
       get_recent_comments(); print “
 * “;
    }
 *  if (function_exists(‘get_recent_trackbacks’)) {
    print “<h2>”; _e(‘Recent Trackbacks:’);
   print “</h2>
    - “;
       get_recent_trackbacks(); print “
 * “;
    } ?>
 * Works great. Exactly like I wanted.
