ahhh that did it thanks!
So this issue was just another ID-10-T error on my part…
by rerouting my ip via the port 80 redirect option at https://www.no-ip.com I am unable to use the DNS alias so after doing so I noticed that whenever the page is loaded, that the real ip address is posted rather than the alias, in my case ‘murphyzone.com’…
Thanks again.

thought I should add that I have removed all of my add blocking software as well… still no go….

I am having the same problem… try to delete a link and I get “Sorry, you need to enable sending referrers, for this feature to work.”
I tried the editing of function check_admin_referer() but it did not work for me. I am using Firefox as a browser but tried in IE as well, still didn’t work. I am also using Norton Anti Virus so disabled it to see if that was conflicting in anyway, but it still didn’t work (I know an IT Security person who tells me to dump Norton because it is such a pain and is usually the root of all the networking problems she deals with).
All that said, the problem could still be in my set up: I am running WordPress on my default installation of Apache on my home computer.
My ISP here in BC Telus, has started to block port 80 to stop people from running web servers from their standard accounts, have to give them a whole lot more $$ to get a static IP and open port 80. However, I set my router (standard Linksys Etherfast cable/dsl 4 port) and configured Apache to listen to port 9090 for the http server. I also use https://www.no-ip.com and their Dynamic Update Client to automatically update the dynamic IP # assigned by Telus.
It all works fine, and I do this so that I can build and test web sites on my home computer. Now I say it all works fine, or has, at anyrate, until this ‘referer’ problem. I can’t seem to find a fix that works, and that may be simply because of the wacky rerouting going on explained above. Though I am not sure, and I suppose will not be sure until I post all of this up on a server and get the proper URL without having to reroute to different ports etc.
BUT if anyone has any other thoughts as to what may be going on, I would love to try and work them out as I really want to be able to run WordPress off my seerver at home as well…
thanks

ahhh of course… should have thought a bit more about that one before posting…
Thanks again…

oops, should there be a ‘<?php _e(‘Links’)>’ ? I can’t seem to find it in index.php. I wonder if I boldly deleted it by mistake… All I can seem to find is the ‘<?php get_links_list(); ?>’… yet ‘Links’ still appears in the browser?

Thanks a mill… I thought if I did such a thing the blog would break and a traffic light in Dublin would flicker…
