Matt, thanks so much for posting that quick fix to the problem…seems to happen when the index is in root and the rest of the files are in a subdir. I’m sure its been worked out in the new alpha…I, myself, ran into the problem for the first time tonight as tonight was the first time I had attempted to use a password, and was able to remedy it quickly because of your post. Thanks again.

I’ll give that a try beel….

Beel, I added the code to my css but was too intimidated to edit the kses.php once i had opened it. I’ll have to get some coaching for that. For the time being (and since I’m out of town away from my computer which I’m familiar w/ and without all my editing tools) I’ll let ‘strong’ suffice….On Sunday when I get back home I’ll check into editing my kses.php file. thanks for your continued concern and ideas!

Also, I use https://www.wimpyaudio.com . They have a flash plugin that is pretty simple to install and use, which streams MP3’s…you can check it out on my site at https://www.idowens.com . There should be one in the 3rd or 4th most recent post. The plugin is called ‘wimpy button’ on their site.

You can check out https://www.gravatar.com. They have a plugin for WP thats fairly simple to install. It is ‘made’ to incorperate icon’s with users in your Comments list, but I suppose if you included the php call line in your index php before your post that it would do the exact same thing. Only downside is that each author has to setup a (free) account at Gravatar and wait for their image to be ‘graded’. You’ll see what I mean after visiting the site. G’luck and let us know what you decide on.

Hey beel, I’ve defined an ‘adminnote’ in my css; can I just enter <div class="adminnote"> TEXT </div> to an entry at this point, because that doesn’t seem to want to work…

podz thanks for the links…not exactly what I’m looking for, but it definitely gave me an idea of whats out there and how I can implement it…I may write a very short plugin to do exactly what Beel suggested w/o having to edit it manually….Thanks for the suggestions guys and I’ll let you know what I come up with.

This was a really old post, but I found it very helpful as I was trying to implement this plugin on my comments page…Much thanks to Cariad for the code help! Chk out any comments at https://www.idowens.com to see this in action. (Of course, until my sites visitors choose their own avatar at https://www.gravatar.com it’ll show the default on I’ve set it to.)

Cryptik, heh, I was wondering why you were encountering that problem until I read your last post…heh, glad you got it moved correctly and that all is working (Just remember, if you make changes to files other than the index (for example, the .css) you’ll need to upload them to the wordpress directory, and NOT root…index changes of course SHOULD be made to root. Maybe you can post a link to your site for us to check out. Glad you got it fixed without having to use a redirect..this way is much cleaner ?? Cya!

thepete, there is also a way to do this very effectively without having a redirect….When I initially installed WP it was into a subdirectory, and I was having to redirect via a Temp. Redirect script (which constantly filled up my server log and was annoying…plus it showed up at https://www.idowens.com/wordpress/ in the URL bar in the browser instead of just https://www.idowens.com). To make the permanant change, copy your index.php from the subdirectory it is currently in, into your server’s root. Then edit it changing the top line from
<?php /* Don't remove this line. */ require('./wp-blog-header.php'); ?>
to
<?php /* Don't remove this line. */ require('./subdirectory/wp-blog-header.php'); ?>
Then go to WP admin, Options, and change Blog URI to https://www.you.com/subdirectory/
Finally, upload your new index.php to your root directory (making sure that ‘WordPress address’ still points to your subdirectory that has WP installed to it) and that should do it…let me know if you reach any errors.
(Basically, this loads the index from your root (allowing you to not fool w/ redirects) and tells the index to pull the information it needs from the subfolder, not root).

Ok, alphaoid, I gathered from your string that it ran a query to see if you were in the gallery.php or in an actual gallery and if IN a gallery, not to apply those rules…what i did was went back to my css and added
.flickr-album {
width: 600px;
}
This makes pages OTHER than the front gallery page (in other words, IN actual gallery) display wide and thus 2×2….Others may need to adjust 600 to another number….
Thank you all for your help.
ALSO, “EXIF stands for Exchangeable Image File Format, and is a standard for storing interchange information in image files, especially those using JPEG compression. Most digital cameras now use the EXIF format.” (from exif.org)

Fixed EXIF code by adding
.flickr-meta {
color: grey;
width: 300px;
padding-left: 20px;
text-align: left;
}
but the NEXT / PREVIOUS PHOTO links and the image description are still tied up on the left…should I maybe redesignate their tags in the plugin?

It’s not a problem, I was just curious. I’ll get back to you on the css.

Heh, did you not have two pictures of your own? just seems strange to use those two of mine. Regardless, I’m sure this could be edited in the css. Give me a little while to play with it and I’ll get back to you

Do you have access to phpmyadmin? If so, log in and navigate to the wordpress db, and then wp.options. Find the locale for ‘password’ and change it manually. Then log out and log into WP.
