I was having some serious problems with my site not loading in Internet Explorer for PC or Safari. Whenever I tried to load the site, it would prompt a download. I deactivated the Live Calendar plugin and now all is working again. Strange, but I’m just glad it works!

Godspeed,

@jinsan The alignment of the gravatar is set by adding style features to the img tag. So, you could have

<img src="<?php post_gravatar ?>" style="float:left; and any other style attributes">

You could also insert a style class and control your gravatar behavior from your style.css. So, you could have

<img class="postgravatar" src="<?php post_gravatar ?>">

And you could do the same for the comment gravatar. If you wanted less work and you wanted your gravatars to behave the same way on posts and comments, then you could have just one class for “gravatar” and style that in style.css. This would also help trim your stylesheet size. Personally, I think the reason you couldn’t tell what was happening with mine is because I haven’t styled gravatars, but I styled any image that is an anchor (img a { in css) to float left. Who knows, I may need to change that in the future, but for now it is working just fine.

Let me know if I can be of any more help.

Godspeed,

Take a look at Felix Wong’s Tags plugin. You can find it on his site https://boke.name/ or in wp-plugins.org. I am still having some minor troubles with it, but it is going to be really nice when it finally works. It works great on his site however so you can see it in action there.

There is a plugin on the wp-plugins.net database that is for “official comments” that will allow formatting for whenever you are logged in and post a comment. I’m sure it could be modified to do what you are looking to do. My modification of the gravatar plugin is working fine on my site, but perhaps I haven’t run into icco’s referenced problem. Often times, I do not alter the id material at the top since I am using it for myself, so perhaps that is the problem, i.e. that it looks just like the gravatar plugin in the plugins list in wp-admin. I haven’t had any problems with it. OT, but I have gotta change my gravatar lest people begin thinking I’m a girl and dressing like a Mac nerd version of Lara Croft.

Apologies for the link. Apparently, it kept the image location that I copied from Firefox because I couldn’t remember the name of that picture host. I will put a ticket in.

Godspeed,

Well, that isn’t exactly specific. “Where does the plugin go?” could mean where do I put the plugin file or where do I insert the php code to call the plugin in the template.

That all being said, the gravatar php code needs to go in an image tag in the comments template (location differs pending your version of WP) inside the comment loop. The plugin I posted about is for the post loop. That’s why there has to be a different plugin for post gravatars vs. comment gravatars.

@icco – What problems do you see with my comment system?

The plugin does not work for me, running WordPress 1.5 (release just prior to Official, not sure number). I have uploaded a screenshot of my errors here. I really hope to get this working as this is something I have been looking for for quite some time.

Godspeed,

I think that some default catchphrases could be useful, but it might be better if the site author included his or her own. For example, if I type “Idiot!” your definition might or might not be from Napoleon Dynamite. Thus, I think the plugin would serve the user best by having only a few included and then allowing the user to input his or her own. This seems really cool for someone like me who makes a lot of references to a wide variety of material that the reader might not catch. Have you contacted Dennis Miller about using this?

This post is a little old, but I altered the code on the Gravatar plugin on the Gravatar site to work for post authors. You can visit https://blog.jamiephelps.com/postgravatar/ for this plugin.

I hesitate to say it’s my plugin. I generally just alter other plugins’ code for another purpose with very little alteration. If that counts, then this is my second plugin. If not, then I’m a schmuck.

Godspeed,

Man, I’m an idiot!!! I was just about to post about this, and then I realized the links that were the “wrong color” were the visited ones. Jeez….

Godspeed,

This topic is a bit old, but I found that the default permalink structure of /archives/%year%/%monthnum%/%post_id%/ broke my permalinks. When I added %day% before %post_id%/ it worked like a charm.

Well, as usual, I figured it out myself. I am posting the solution on my blog for anyone who is interested.

Godspeed,

Lucky for me I have a great memory. I undid my changes one by one until I found the one that broke it. For some reason I had added a float:right; property to the #content id. Not sure why except that it must have been when I was fiddling with positioning. After I removed that line, all was well.

Update: I switched to an old stylesheet and my links worked. Switched back and they are broken. I am going to look at my CSS and see if I can figure out the problem. Feel free to look at it as well and let me know what you observe.

Godspeed,

PS, this is my username. The jamiephelps one was because I was having diff. logging in to this one. Hope the trans. is easy.
