  • The conversion was pretty clean for me. The only problem I had was that most user info was lost. The password seemed to be correct, but users were given no role. A few users are still having difficulty logging in. All of the content & categories copied over cleanly.

    I just did it. See it at https://www.mcdevzone.com/

    I have a series of images kubrickheader0.jpg – kubrickheader7.jpg in my images directory and I added the following script to header.php:

    <?php
    function header_graphic() {
    echo “/images/”;
    $num=rand(0,7);
    echo “kubrickheader”.$num.”.jpg”;
    };
    ?>

    Finally, I changed the stylesheet header element as follows:

    #header { background: url(“<?php bloginfo(‘stylesheet_directory’); header_graphic(); ?>”) no-repeat bottom center; }

    Home.php would be perfect. It would be awsome if it ccan be displayed without a database query, so it will work even if my database server is down.

    I grepped my access log and the only hits containing that exact user agent ending with PCUser were wp-comments-post.php. I don’t think normal IE 6.0/NT 4.0 will have that exact string.

    I’ve converted it to a plugin, which can be downloaded here.

    I’ve been getting a ton of those. I wrote a plugin to kill those comments before it even gets passed to moderation. Download it here.
    In addition, I put the following in my .htaccess:
    SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^Mozilla\/4.0 \(compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 4.0; PCUser\)" denyThis
    <Limit GET POST>
    Order Allow,Deny
    Allow from all
    Deny from env=denyThis
    </Limit>

    I’ve been getting hit by a spammer constantly since Thursday. I find that I can block him by changing your condition to:
    SetEnvIfNoCase User-Agent "^Mozilla\/4.0 \(compatible; MSIE 6.0; Windows NT 4.0; PCUser\)" denyThis
    I’ve also written a plugin called from post_comment_text which looks for some unique spam words in the comment and calls die() with a nasty message before it even gets to be moderated.

    P.S. you can change that array as necessary to list any words that only appear in spam, such as domain names.

    Yesterday I got hit with a lot of comment spam and got tired of having to delete each one of them, so I came up with this patch.
    In wp-comments-post.php, add the following code
    $words = array (
    "golimar.com",
    "levitra",
    "tramadol",
    "cialis",
    "fioricet",
    "phentermine",
    "viagra",
    );
    foreach ($words as $word) {
    $word = trim($word);
    $pattern = "#$word#i";
    if (preg_match($pattern,$comment) || preg_match($pattern,$url)) {
    die ("You are not allowed to post comments, spammer.");
    }

    Before the line:
    $wpdb->query("INSERT INTO $tablecomments
    (comment_post_ID, comment_author, comment_author_email, comment_author_url,

    How can I convert this to a plugin?

    I was able to fix the login problem, which only occurred in Safari, by editing wp-login.php and changing every instance of COOKIEPATH to $COOKIEPATH in the setcookie calls.

    I’m having the same problem, but only in Safari. I can log in with FireFox, Opera, or IE, but when I try to log in with Safari, it always bounces me back to the login screen with “wrong login/password”, which it also displays the first time in that screen before I enter anything. When I try to reset the password, it always shows the username as blank. I’m logging in as the administrator, which is the only user in ny blog.
