Leo, I don’t have MS Word to test your option. I’ve tried “Open Office” and it doesn’t work from there. I’ve used both WP’s text and visual editors and Chrome, Firefox & IE browser to open WP, all with the same results.

I’ve been dragging & dropping “hot” links onto WP for years. This changed only with the 3.8.3 and later versions.

My hosting service won’t let me step down in versions.

I also used to be able to do D&D from the Windows desktop in addition D&D from directories directly onto WP.

Well I took a chance on a snippet of code I found:

function wpa_47010( $qtInit ) {
    $qtInit['buttons'] = 'strong,em,link,block,del,img,ul,ol,li,code,more,spell,close,fullscreen';
    return $qtInit;
}
add_filter('quicktags_settings', 'wpa_47010');

I put this in my theme’ function.php file and stripped all of the HTML elements:

function wpa_47010( $qtInit ) {
    <strong>$qtInit['buttons'] = ',';</strong>
    return $qtInit;
}
add_filter('quicktags_settings', 'wpa_47010');

Now the only quicktags outside of those provided by the Jayj plugin that appears is “proofread”.

I can live with that.

Any recommendations for hosting alternatives?

I talked to BH today and they said it would be a few more days before they could get to me.

When I mentioned that I may have to cancel the account no one really seemed concerned that I was considering doing that.

I had been self-hosting the site on a Linux box in my home office since 2005 and never had these problems before.

Thanks again for your input.

I am on a pro account with BH. My registrar is GoDaddy which I retained in case I have to switch to one of their service plans which is looking more likely.

It’s been 10 days since BH TLevel II tech support allegedly escalated my issue and I still haven’t heard from anyone.

For $249.00 upfront I expected more from a hosting service that purports to be WP friendly.

Thanks for your input.

thanks to all…

Andrew, thanks so much. Fixed it.

It’s every page that one elects to “comment” on.

As an example: https://oneoldvet.com/?p=40587#respond

https://oneoldvet.com is the page.

I’m an unpaid, and dare I say POOR blogger. I can’t afford to hire someone to create a sql query but thanks anyway.

I looked at the structures of:

wp_postmeta
wp_term_relationships
wp_comments
wp_commentmeta

and only wp_postmeta has a field for post_id

I also looked for plugin to accomplish this task and came up short on anything with enough history to assure me I couldn’t or wouldn’t screw this up.

I am not familiar enough with the inner join syntax to put a query together that will safely delete posts based on a date range, specifically all posts before 01.01.2013

I hate asking for someone to hold my hand on this but I’m flipping the switch on this move tomorrow night and am pressed for time.

Help anyone?

Thanks

Rajesh,

By “check” do You Mean I should run a SQL delete date-specific query on those tables as well?

Since comments may cross over the date threshold I have set (01.01.2013) from the date of the original post, what field in those table should I run the query against?

Thank you for your help.

Krishna, thanks for the headsup.

Like other users with this “problem” it now appears that the ads are miraculously showing up.

Don’t know why, probably never will.

I didn’t change anything after I posted my first note.

Thanks for all taking the time to read my post/

esmi, Thank you for your kind offer. Yes, I would be interested. I do hope that the development team will consider implementing those options as a feature in the future.

Thanks,

I just upgraded an hour ago to 3.4.1 and found that quicktags.js isn’t written to handle the old style of quicktags.

I had 40+ custom button that saved me hours each day coding my news portal. Now I’m back to square 1.

I found 2 plugins: Jayj’s works but you can’t put the tags in an order that works for me. The other from Bueltge doesn’t work at all for me for some reason.

I can’t think of any feature in WP more important than the post editors but to which there seems to be the least attention paid to.

Customizable editor buttons is a make or break issue for me.

Good luck!

So WP doesn’t have a user-only switch theme option that is cookie based just for that particular visitor without changing the default for everyone? Bummer!

It isn’t a good workaround because I would have to remove all of the themes I have in the system to hide them from the “switcher”.

I want two themes to be “available”, the default (my) theme and the 800×600 compatible theme.

I don’t want users to have to figure out which of the 45 themes I have available will work for them much less my having to tweak more than one theme.
