After further research and testing I think I stumbled across the source of the problem. It appears that the problem is actually a FIREFOX EXTENSION. I switched to working on the website via Chrome for a while while on another computer and didn’t have the problem. Came back to my Firefox and the problem was back. Sooooo…it looks to me like the Super Video Downloader for Firefox (https://addons.mozilla.org/en-US/firefox/addon/super-video-downloader/) is a Firefox extension to avoid when working on a WordPress site. Sadly, it also seems to be one of the most useful video downloaders available for Firefox. Perhaps the best solution for users of this extension is to create multiple user profiles for Firefox: one for WordPress work, one for non-WordPress work (which would include the FF extension in question).

Thanks.

Ricard, I don’t want the iframe at all. I didn’t insert it, it just magically appears along with the style code. From where, I know not. I want to be able to delete it and keep it deleted…preferably, prevent it from being inserted at all.

Whoops. I neglected to mention that whatever is adding the above code is also adding the following to the img tag:

class=”alignnone size-full wp-image-740″ style=”visibility: hidden;”

I know the style tag is partly to blame for hiding the image but even when I delete it and save the page the image will not appear.

Okay, I got it. The error was that I was looking for the PB widget to be called Black Studio TinyMCE> I had seen reference to it showing as “Visual Editor” but misunderstood that to mean it showed as that in the Plug-in section and missed that it was showing up as that in the PB widget list. But your note helped clarify that detail for me. Thank you.

As a side note, I am working on another site which uses your Vantage theme. No luck there, either.

The registration problem seems to be something called “WangGuard”. For some reason they have me listed as a “splogger” (not really even clear on what that is) and they have not responded to my inquiries about why they put me on their list or how I get off. Curious, since I am definatly NOT a spammer of any sort (I do occasionally tell people to go get bent, so perhaps someone is just using it as an “enemies list”).

Anyway, I do have the Black Studio TinyMCE installed. Still nothing. And although it seems silly to do, I have also added it as a widget to the site sidebar to test if that does some sort of magic with PB. Nothing. Obviously I am missing something here but I don’t know what.

Additional thoughts?

Mindshare: the tone of your response indicates to me that you have an arrogant attitude. I hope you aren’t in a business where customer service is actually required to stay in business. I fear you will fail. I will go find a plugin and author who actually cares to help people, not someone who is simply in it for their ego.

Mindshare: Sorry about the faux pas but in other forums there seems to be a tendency against new threads when they are continuations or related to an existing thread. I figured I’d err on the safe side. Sorry.

Depending on your definition of “basic understanding of PHP” I may (or may not) meet the qualification for that portion. Admittedly, I don’t on the WP development front. But could you at least point me toward the appropriate file for the code to be inserted? Then I’ll try to take it from there.

Thank you.

To follow up on dmkjr’s question, into which file should the code be placed to insert css styles? Sorry that this is a somewhat ignorant question but I am not very expert with WordPress and WP themes.

Thank you for the follow up.

11 years of locking someone out. Most people will give up trying to log in long before that expires.

This is of course assuming the intruder isn’t a bot, in which case 11 years is nothing, eh? ??

It would be great if there could (as some point) be the option of manually adding individual IP’s and a range of IP’s. The folks I am working with have another utility installed (Sucuri, which also has no option for manually adding to the block list) which is supposed to generate permanent IP blocks but the site has been hit repeatedly from several IP addresses and to date they have not made the automated block list in the Sucuri plug-in. Thankfully, your utility seems to be working as intended, adding the villians whereas the Sucuri plug-in is not.

Thank you for the utility.

display table cells which contain . should be:

display table cells which contain a non-breaking space.

catacaustic, didn’t see your post before I posted my follow up. Yes, you are corrct about the quote marks (I blame MySQL for lying to me). I’m not a WP, MySQL or PHP expert — I’m not even good enough to be a beginner — so I’m not sure what you mean by he standard $wpdb object. Could you explain that for me?

Thanks.

Found the answer. When I used MySQL to create the query, it was putting search values in quotes which was incorrect.

Same issue here. I have also tried posting a request for info in the MAMP support forums. Unfortunately, those forum posts are moderated and I have been unable to get even a single post requesting assistance through their posting process. So unless there is an answer here I am also stuck.

Reading over the Post_Types information in the codex you referenced, it seems that this may not be the situation. According to the information presented, custom post types get “a new top-level administration menu to create and manage posts of that new post type”. I am not a WP expert but I don’t think that is what is happening: The interface for inputting the data which is used to generate the posts is access from a sub-menu off of “Settings”. Additionally, the site is using the Google XML Sitemaps plug-in which (as I understand it) creates a sitemap of all the pages within the WP structure. I just checked and the pages created by this custom plug-do not appear in the sitemap. It’s almost as if they are being created as stand-alone pages but they don’t appear to exist in the site structure anywhere as PHP or even HTML files.
