#secondary {
background-color: #dfe1f0;
}

You don’t need the .widget-area as it is a class of the same element. What your css is saying is “look for an element with an ID of secondary, then find an element WITHIN that with a class of .widget-area”.

What you want to say is “look for an element with an ID of secondary” OR “look for an element with a class of widget-area”. Either one will work.

In any event, it’s going to look weird because the width of the sidebar is small and it’s using a margin-right. You’ll want to change this:

#secondary {
	float: right;
	margin-right: 7.6%;
	width: 18.8%;
}

To this:

#secondary {
	float: right;
	padding: 0 3.8%;
	width: 18.8%;
}

As a start… you’ll probably want to play around with it more to get it to look right. Also, add your background-color property to this block of css… it’s found on line 94 of your style.css file.

In my opinion… it’s better to write an .htaccess to restrict access to the admin section by IP address only. Place it in the wp-admin folder… something like:

#Deny access to wp-admin folder
AuthUserFile /dev/null
AuthGroupFile /dev/null
AuthName "Access Control"
AuthType Basic
order deny,allow
deny from all
#IP addresses allowed to view wp-admin folder
allow from 000.000.000.000

Only the person with an IP address of 000.000.000.000 can access the login area! Even if they were able to bypass your login page and attempt to access a file within the wp-admin folde, they’d be blocked.

This might help…

So let me get this straight… you want to have someone click on a link, be taken to a page that runs some PHP code, then have them redirected to another page?

Are you good at PHP? Does this page that will run a PHP function need access to WordPress functions?

Aside from writing your own PHP code to intercept the files on upload and optimize them yourself, no… there is no way to force WordPress to crunch a file if the dimensions match.

The whole file upload process needs an overhaul in my opinion. Even files that produce errors are still put up on the server incorrectly instead of being removed and an appropriate error message displayed to the end user. What can you do?

We are thinking of writing our own plugin to fix these problems. If we do, I’ll let you know and you’re free to have it! Need permission from the bigwigs to let me spend time on it though…

I honestly don’t know what version add_filter() came about… so I’m guessing maybe yours is too old. But I don’t really know. It seems like the css you implemented is doing the trick though…

If you do manage to upgrade, give it a whirl and let us know. Also, the non-manual use of the_excerpt() does strip out all html. So you could always go that route and then just change the excerpt length. Again, let us know the outcome!
