Podz — why does 1.5 link manager suddenly insist upon absolute instead of realtive URIs? all my old relative links (originally stores in 1.2 link manager) get an ugly and non-working https:// thrown onto the front of them [ie ‘https:///artists_statement.html’%5D which a) kills them and b) means every time I mirror my sites (I manage about 7 sites with blogs for people) I’ve got to run SQL queries to redirect them to my test server.

Ah, relativity!

er, I don’t hate the word “links” — I hate the word “blogroll” that I replaced without deleting the gloss.

I just went into PhpMyAdmin to manually change him to level10; I’ll let y’all know if I encounter any weird conflicts in the future.

For now, he can edit his own links (ugh, I hate that word) so all is right with the world.

I host and develop blogs for several people, and keep myself as the admin becuase, well — I have a lot of administering to do.

But the user should be able to do the majority of tasks within the blog without me relinquishing my *10* status as admin.

If level 10 is possible, it should also be possible to set somebody else to level 10. co-admin situations, etc.

Can some one point me to this easy-to-install plugin? Or is the “disable-nofollow-On” plugin VaporWare?

Part of the problem may be that WordPress auto-formats to a considerable degree, adding paragraph tags etc. which will break a lot of code from elsewhere. The trick is to either turn off ALL WP formatting (deep in the mysterious bowels of the code), or to put all your other-HTML onto ONE LINE — this way it won’t get broken up.

It won’t be humanly readable anymore, but so it goes…

That sounds wonderful!!!

How did you do it?

Thanks. Never noticed it in the list! **embarassed** ‘course, I’m jsut installed my first 1.5 test this weekend…..

Er, where is this BETA forum?

the short story — WordPress auto-formats all of your posts. All of them. It adds break-tags, paragraph-tags, smart-quotes, the whole shebang.

It is default, and next to impossible to turn off. Unless you want to turn _everything_ off.

Perhaps if we pooled our resources, we could bribe somebody to create a plugin. In the meantime, I am hoping to learn PHP someday, in the vain hope that I can shut the !@#$^&^! off myself.

Oh, not a plugin or anything. runs separate.

MonoEdit might do the trick — gives you access to directories. edit files, upload, delted, etc.

Some previous threads that may or may not be exactly what you are looking for.

eeek, when will this be updated? I need to switch URLs … that one works, but is not a very active site, and I have one I’m a little prouder of. Ah, well…..

I’m just worried about the continued “feature-creep” of WordPress for options that have no way of being turned off — like autoformatting. I am already frustrated with the lack of control that WordPress gives me over my posts, and am worried that it will get worse, not better. When WordPress hits 2.0 I wouldn’t be surprised to see a dancing paperclip to try to help me write my blog entries — and the only way to turn it off will be a plugin! ??
