Just noticed this was asked in another thread by the same person .. deleted my response and will let the original designer respond. :/

auntie – you’re welcome. as much as your site is chockful of information, I, too, hope I never had a direct need for it. ??

Good luck.

^ wow! talk about raining on my parade! ?? (jk) i say, if it ain’t broke, don’t fix it – but seems like not i’m gonna have a choice pretty soon. arghh.

I left my former host because they couldn’t work out post-upgrade PHP5 issues on the backside. While the apps coded in 5 may be fine, the mainframe architecture seems to experience some major hiccups.

I can absolutely confirm many users have experienced issues after the hosts upgraded their PHP5. What I cannot confirm is the version and whether there was any associated similarities.

With that as a reference point, I will happily swim in the PHP4 instead.

I just got off the phone with the Bluehost folks. They indicated they are not – in the foreseeable future (next 6-12 months) doing away with PHP4. They are enabling the customer the ability to toggle – from the admin panel – between PHP4 and PHP5 prior to making a commitment. As well, if the results are not those expected, the customer has the ability to roll back to PHP4.

I personally prefer PHP4 as I don’t believe PHP5 is stable enough yet for widespread adoption.

jmo.

there’s no need to install a plugin to do this … instead – follow Matt’s advice, and hardcode it to the theme.

insert the following code:

“Just put it in your comments loop, I put it right before the comment_text() call.”

<?php
if ( !empty( $comment->comment_author_email ) ) {
	$md5 = md5( $comment->comment_author_email );
	$default = urlencode( 'https://use.perl.org/images/pix.gif' );
	echo "<img style='float: right; margin-left: 10px;' src='https://www.gravatar.com/avatar.php?gravatar_id=$md5&amp;size=60&amp;default=$default' alt='' />";
}
?>

there are plug-in incompatibilities when using the audio manager. my first guess would be to selectively undo others. if that’s not the case, contact the plugin author.

just the other day, i encountered this same problem after installing a new plugin. once deactivated, it worked fine again.

whoops, sorry – i failed to catch the part about 3 different categories on one page. i’ll pay better attention next time. ??

asony999 – i would check with the plugin author – when i just looked at the options, you can add as many catetgories as you want and the respective number and ordering of the posts. ??

asony999 – you may want try the different posts per page plugin. it may fit the bill.

betwixt – i encountered the same problems when i briefly used the K2 theme (edit: a while back) – that’s why i switched back from it. don’t know what the code is behind the built in plugins; however, those you’ve installed may be overriding the rollingarchives.

when looking for a theme, i spent hours combing through those available. if you make the proper selections from the left menu in the themeviewer, it will provide you with pages of choices.

good luck.

sorry – but the linking in the left sidebar opening in the right panel while intercepted by media in the middle sidebar is throwing me off.

if i may offer a recommendation. provide a consistent size for all images with a max w/h – i.e., landscape 400×275, portrait 275×400. have them appear in a gallery-style grid with lightbox overlay effect. the viewer can select which images they want to view without scrolling through a very long page.

while the pictures are very nice, some are noticeably pixelated which detracts from the asthestics of the image itself. better to reduce the size than distort.

jmo.

good luck.

page not found.

That’s a pretty harsh contrast between the blue and the white. Soften it out – and like referenced above, add some substantial text to see how a filled page looks.
