Actually, the answer IS in one of the pages I sent you… you just need to know more PHP… try this in your functions.php file:

<?php
function custom_excerpt($text)
{
   return strip_tags( $text );
}
add_filter('the_excerpt', 'custom_excerpt');
?>

It “might” be the right code based on your versions of PHP… though I’m not entirely sure since they are so old. I could give you the updated way to do this as well, if you upgrade WordPress.

You are most welcome 🙂

Just in-page links… so your example of “Let’s say if I am on page1 and I have a link on that page to Page2”.

WordPress, when adding an in-page link, adds the full url. This does not get updated when changing your settings. There are plugins that will do this for you, but it’s simple to do in SQL if you are comfortable with databases.

If you aren’t, I suggest the plugin, or going page/post by page/post and manually changing the links.

Oh, and if you are using built in menus, those will get fixed, so no worries there either.

Yes… that will solve your problem. You might need to go through any post or page that has an internal link and change those as well. If you are comfortable with accessing your database and running a little SQL, I can give you three easy commands for that. Let me know.

There is some really good advice in these two articles:

I suggest checking there for an answer. Keep in mind, you will most likely have to upgrade your version of WordPress to do some “more advanced” stuff. You should upgrade your version regardless due to severe security flaws.

Looks to me that you should give those images you want to have this happen to a class… like class=”myclass”.

Then using the jQuery example they give in their “How To Make It Work” section, just change the code from this:

$(document).ready(function() {
   $('img').hover_caption();
});

To this:

$(document).ready(function() {
    $('.myclass').hover_caption();
});

You may need to replace any $ with jQuery, depending on your compatibility mode…

When we create a WordPress site, we typically use the following plugins on almost every site:

http://www.websitedefender.com/news/free-wordpress-security-scan-plugin/ – Good if you think you might have been hacked

http://yoast.com/wordpress/seo/#utm_source=wpadmin&utm_medium=plugin&utm_campaign=wpseoplugin – Good for SEO

http://mattwalters.net/projects/wordpress-file-monitor/ – Checks to make sure you’re not being hacked

http://www.videousermanuals.com/white-label-cms/ – Good for customization of the backend and login area for clients. Also helps with minor lock down of the admin menu.

http://www.bad-neighborhood.com/ – Prevents against brute force attacks on login.

http://ocaoimh.ie/exploit-scanner/ – Yet another tool in the fight against being hacked.

http://mtekk.us/code/breadcrumb-navxt/ – Good and easy to customize breadcrumb trail.

We don’t use WordPress for shopping carts as their are much better out-of-the-box solutions for that. All other “plugin” type stuff we write in-house.

Using someone else’s plugins causes too much overhead in that you have to rely upon them to keep it up-to-date. If you write your own plugins, they are customized to exactly what you need and easy to fix if they break.

I recommend that you look into how to create your own plugins, or at the very least, how to use the functions.php file to it’s full extent. WordPress is powerful, but that’s mainly because of it’s flexibility for us end users to basically do whatever we want! 🙂
