Yes, me too. I’m on cable and the loading time on the sidebar has gotten so slow, it’s unbelievable. I’ve always had that javascript to show loading times on there, but it’s never gotten so slow.

Even the pics at the top are fairly small – and sometimes it looks like the sidebar itself is not going to load – and it stops the use of the scroller while it’s loading.

Any thoughts on what’s going on with it?

Hi there. I was having the same problem with the error message above, ‘”Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/usman/www/www/index.php:3) in /home/usman/www/www/wp-content/plugins/polls.php on line 80″ ‘ and then I moved the ‘<? php vote_polls(); ?>’ code from where I’d put it in my header.php file.

I moved the code to the very top of the page, before my xhtml declaration and that cleared up that problem. But when I try to vote to test, it looks like it’s not recording any of the votes.

So I moved it down under my theme code (all the css that’s in the header) and put it before ‘<?php wp_get_archives(‘type=monthly&format=link’); ?>’ but after ‘<link rel=”pingback” href=”<?php bloginfo(‘pingback_url’); ?>” />’ .

It seems that I don’t get that header error message any more, but it still looks like I can’t vote with it.

Any ideas? It worked when I first tried it, when I was getting the error message coming up on the top of my page, but now it doesn’t work.

Or at least not for me. Maybe it’s preventing me from testing it by recognizing my IP or something and not letting me vote again?

That’s it, techwench!!! You did it!

Thank you so much, it’s so hard to find where the errors are coming from when you’re piecing together 3 and 4 files at a time.

I’m forever indebted ??

Ok, thanks for the input. I changed all the span codes back to div codes and what happened was that I got twice the error messages, i.e., ‘Line 180, column 20: document type does not allow element “div” here; missing one of “object”, “applet”, “map”, “iframe”, “button”, “ins”, “del” start-tag

<div id=”comLink171″>

The mentioned element is not allowed to appear in the context in which you’ve placed it; the other mentioned elements are the only ones that are both allowed there and can contain the element mentioned. This might mean that you need a containing element, or possibly that you’ve forgotten to close a previous element.

One possible cause for this message is that you have attempted to put a block-level element (such as “” or “<table>”) inside an inline element (such as ““, “<span>”, or “<font>”).

a?‰

Line 183, column 42: document type does not allow element “div” here; missing one of “object”, “applet”, “map”, “iframe”, “button”, “ins”, “del” start-tag

<div id=”comText171″ style=”display: none”>”

So I changed the first one back to span – since I wanted that to display on the same line as the other comment features anyway, and tried it with just the second one as a div.

So now instead of getting the OL not allowed here, I get the DIV not allowed here.

I have tried changing these codes all over the place and can’t get just that one thing.

I remember in a previous version of WP that I had edited it and finally got it validated but I can’t remember how I did that, or where the wrong code was in the first place, but it was with this very same plugin, only at that time it wasn’t a plugin, just coding she’d modified from MT.

If you have any ideas on code that’s somewhere else that is impacting on this code, please feel free to let me know. I’m at a loss. Thanks.

Jinsan, if you look at the link to the invalidation which I posted in the first post, you will see that it still does not validate, and it is still the same problem which is as I mentioned in my 3rd post. Adding a missing alt tag is easily done and has nothing to do with the problem.

And no, the theme is not definitely Kubrick, it is a mix of Kubrick and Manji and all the plugin css in it as well as my own. The look is totally created by me, all the graphics, not only the colour scheme, but not once on my site do I have any “self-praise” or “self-credit”.

It seems that you have a lot of nerve in trying to insult someone because they didn’t include what you suggest, especially when this is a help forum where people are here asking for help, not for your personal ideas on what courtesies should and shouldn’t be adopted.

If it’s a requirement to include the Kubrick credit inside the css, then I will simply include it, much like I give credit all over my site for different links, products, comments. Anything I’ve taken out of the css would have been to make the file smaller, but if it’s required, then I’ll put it in.

I don’t have a problem with giving credit, what I have a problem with is the fact that you’re not providing help, you’re providing your opinions on what I should include on my site. That’s not what I’m here for.

And if you’re unable to provide help in a help forum, then I suggest you say nothing and save your insults and your opinionated ramblings for another venue.

Jinsan, the question was about validating the plugin and using some other element which would validate since it’s a block-level element within an inline element (see code above). I think the problem lays within the wp-dropdown-comments.php file.

I’ve tried what you suggested and class vs. id doesn’t make one bit of difference but I changed it to class anyway, in case I have more than one instance that could affect the list.

I don’t really appreciate being told who I should be crediting on my website when I’ve come to ask for help. It seems to me that I’ve got all kinds of WordPress links on there for anyone to check out, use, and choose a theme of their own. What next? A list of credits for all the plugins? People who helped me in the forum? Those who didn’t? The books I’ve read?

I’m here seeking help from anyone who may know the answer to the above, much like I help those who ask me for help.

the same kind of validation errors, only more of them – not allowed to have this here without object, etc. etc. as above.

I was using Avant browser, but that never even occurred to me. I just went there in Firefox and I could see it fine (looks good btw).

What’s that all about? How could it be forbidden access in one but not the other?

Whenever I try to access coldforged’s site, I get this error page:

Forbidden
You don’t have permission to access /archives/2005/02/18/new-image-headline-plugin-is-finally-ready/ on this server.

Additionally, a 403 Forbidden error was encountered while trying to use an ErrorDocument to handle the request.
——————————————————————————–
Apache/1.3.33 Server at https://www.coldforged.org Port 80

Any possibility we’ll actually be able to access your site some time in the near future?

Thank you so much, that worked perfectly ??

The page is also screwed up in Firefox, just thought I’d mention it because you say on your page that it’s not working just in IE. The “links” title bar is what seems to be breaking it in Firefox.

Ok, I checked all the stuff above and didn’t have anything other than the dot in the spammer.com (don’t want to put their name in case it gets them googled or something). Am I allowed to put the dot in the .com or does that screw it up?

I also unchecked the “blacklist comments from open and unsecure proxies” and then it seemed to work. Is that the answer?

The comments were working up until I added that spam site to the blacklist, that’s why I’m thinking that that’s what caused it.

However, I’m open to other fixes… although I’ve tried everything suggested in this thread.

I just checked in phpadmin and saw that all the “test” comments that I’ve put up there, are showing up as spam under the ‘comment-approved’ column. So it seems they have automatically been relegated to spam, cuz I didn’t mark them in the ‘awaiting moderation’ spot, and they never showed up anywhere else – other than in my db table.

Again, I think I need to edit that comment blacklist – can anyone tell me where to do it?

I didn’t activate any spam plugin, I put the url into Comment Blacklist under Options — Discussion.

I have the following plugins activated: Auto-Close Comments (after 5 days), Customizable Post Listings, Gravatar, Who is Online, Recent Comments, Content Show/Hide with javascript, and WP Plugin Manager.

Could someone tell me where I can edit that blacklist in case that’s the problem?

My comments are not working either now. I’m wondering if I got blocked because I put a spammer into that list in my options – the one below where you can add spam words. I put in https://www.spammer.com and I’m wondering if it is reading part of the url and blocking everything from the comments. I know it said that it could use part of the word, but I wasn’t thinking at the time that it could take www perhaps instead of the whole url as one thing.

If this is the case, where can I edit that list – that is the only one I added to it and I’d like to remove it to see if the comments will work again.

Thanks for your help.
