I will add my voice, I have this problem occurring all over the place. Different platforms and browsers. Anyone found a fix?

I wrote a short post on installing WP-Cache, maybe you’ll find it useful. From the sounds of your problem, it look like a permissions thing or a symbolic link thing.

Otto42, move to the head of the line! Thanks for your input.

You need to tell us how posts get in the sidebar. Are you using a plugin? Which one?

I too am no security expert, but putting the fault onto WordPress seems absurd given the hacker had the MASTER password to your hosting account. He could change anything independently of wordpress. To use an analogy, it would be like a thief having keys to your house and you blaming the jewellery box company for the loss of all your valuables.

From doing some searching I see this is an ongoing issue. Perhaps its just ignorance regarding methodology, but no one knows who controls the plugin pages of the codex. See:

Can’t edit the Codex
Codex not editable
WP Keywords Plugin (wpkeys)

Having been in your position, I humbly suggest that you should start smaller and work up to creating your own site design. Coding a theme from scratch is like riding a bike, its easy once you know how.

What I would do in your situation is to find a theme that I like, and alter it slightly to match my vision. Why not have a custom header image to start? That alone will give your site a unique feel.

That all said, if you still want to go code it up, you need to start reading the codex

I think the Plugin section does have different rules because I can edit most every other page (save the main one).

I am logged in. There is no edit link like there is on other codex pages.

ImageManager (and several other plugins) use ButtonSnap by Owen Winkler to place buttons inside the post editor. ButtonSnap and Adsense deluxe, for whatever reason, do not get along. Thats the why of it.

emhouston,

I always do this check before putting a new version of a plugin on the net. My host uses fantastico so I quickly set up a fresh version of wordpress. I download the plugin from my site, and follow my own instructions to the letter to see if there is something I missed. Everything worked fine on a steaming fresh install of wordpress (ewww).

Did you activate the plugin? If you did and its still not showing up then there is something very specific about your install that is causing the menu’s not to show up. I’d be happy to work with you to get it going, give me a shout if you like.

They do this for profit. Eliminate their profit motive by reporting their actions to Google / Yahoo, wherever they get their money. See What should I do when you’ve found a content thief? [self link].

I just found this problem too… anyone got some ideas?

I think the title is important. But its important to have a different title for every page. Try this code taken from the K2 theme:

<title><?php wp_title(”); ?> <?php if ( !(is_404()) && (is_single()) or (is_page()) or (is_archive()) ) { ?> at <?php } ?> <?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></title>

I will also plug my Tags in the Head wordpress plugin for seo too. It uses tags to help generate keywords. It also provides meta description’s too.

Good luck.

I think that your best bet on help for this issue would be to contact the plugin authors directly. There is a lot of noise on these forums, and a question like yours (very specific!) often gets overlooked.

Just my 2 cents — good luck!
