Okay, I figured it out on my own.

In case anyone else has this problem, it had to do with the use of a plugin called “Fuzzy Recent Posts” by Denis de Bernardy. This plugin creates a cache folder in the WP-contents directory and it interferes with the WP Editor. I disabled the plugin, and deleted the cache folder. Now I am able to edit properly.

Wonderful! My hat’s off to ya!

Now I can get my iimage browser to work.

Okay, I spoke too soon.

Those tags are only listed in the $allowedposttags under CUSTOM_TAGS in the kses.php file. I had to add them to the $allowedtags like this:

‘img’ => array (‘src’ => array()),

Now it works.

BUT, that still doesn’t answer my question about setting the permission level for uploading files.

Anyone?

Gravatar seems to be down more often than it is up lately. The common excuse for the downtime is to blame the host they use, and usually the downtime will last a couple of weeks instead of an hour or two. For this reason, I have completely abandoned the use of Gravatars on my sites.

I am looking for a similar system that is localized, where my commenters can upload their own avatars like they can on any other forum page. It would be nice to be able to go to a user profile, upload a graphic and then associate that graphic with the user. That way I am not dependent on another server or service going down.

Isn’t there anyone on this forum that is capable of writing such a plugin? I wish I could, but I am not that code saavy.

Okay, I am moving MY WP site to DREAMHOST from Hosting Matters. I exported the database, but now I am stuck on how to dump it into the Dreamhost server. Everywhere I look I get “telnet” or “SSH”. It is all greek to me.

I have a slightly different problem.

Because the number of comments on my blog is so huge, I get the following error:

Fatal error: Maximum execution time of 30 seconds exceeded in /home/misha/public_html/2004/wp-includes/classes.php on line 710

I just moved this stuff over from an MT installation and I know there are hundreds of SPAM (possibly thousands)

How do I increase the amount of time given to searching all of these comments? Thirty seconds just isn’t going to do it — I am guessing maybe five minutes might do it.

It only has to be temporary.

Hmmm. [taps foot and waits some more]

Apparently not, and from the looks of it, nobody cares.

I have almost the opposite problem. My commenters cannot edit their comments unless they are the ones who started the thread. Additionally, a person with a higher level cannot edit someone’s thread with a lower level.

The only exception is the level 10 admin which can still edit everything.

I tried the author_description thing, and found that it only displays the author of the thread, and not the description of the people making the comments on the thread.

Many people like to have some kind of signature line that consists of a favorite quote or something, much like what you see in many forum boards. There should be a way to use the user profile to generate those descriptions for each commenter instead of just displaying the description for the author of the thread.

I would be at a loss there. Then I would have to deal with browsers like Safari.

I am trying to get them to look something like this:

Title of entry 1: Bob Jones said: yadda yadda yadda…

Another title: Susan said: blah blah blah blah…

Yet another title: Bill said: yabba dabba doo…

The most recently commented entry would appear at the top.
