presto

Esmi:

first of all, thanks for your response. I de-activated the plugins and that did not help.

However, I did find out that this takes place when I either save the post as a draft or press the “publish” button and it does this with plugins activated or without any plugins activated.

IQmatrix:

Go download the .zip file from the official WordPress download site and unzip it.

Delete all the files in the wp-includes/js/ directory, and re-send the files up via FTP. I have heard other people state that the automatic upgrader plugins had problems

Also, disable the automatic upgrader plugins before doing this.

I did all those things and it did not work. I had to temporarily disable my pop-up blocker that was within my personal firewall to get my visual editor to work

In CA personal firewall, I can now keep the firewall up and running, but temporarly disable the ad/pop-up blocker while remembering to re-activate it when I am logged off the admin station.

anyone know what is going on?

update

In reference to the first issue. I can get the little reply comments screen to appear at the bottom only in IE 7 with the buttons very small and not revealing what text effect (bold, italic, etc.)

Also, when you click on the “Submit reply” button, the ‘timing wheel’ goes on forever even though the blog clearly shows the reply and you can not do a quick reply to another comment because WP sees the submitted reply done previously as unfinished.

I still can not get anything on Firefox 3.0.4

In reference to the second issue, I have the same problem in both IE 7 and Forefox 3.0.4

I did the same thing as Jaffo. However, I uploaded and activated the 3.0 version of Google Sitemaps and it appears to have corrected my problem. However, this raises another question and thought:

Why did the plugins page not notify me of the new revision of Google Sitemaps (2.7.1 to 3.0) when I started to reactivate plugins after installing WordPress 2.3? Many other plugins did notify me of updates available for download and installation/

This may or may not help you but the following did happen to me.

About a year and a half ago, I had a controversial post on my blog that caused someone to attempt to hack my blog. I found in my logs numerous attempts from an unfamilar IP address to the login page that matched the exact same IP address of a commented that I refused to post their comment.

What I ended up doing because I was on a Linux server was setup the .htaccess / .htpasswd files (using a different name/password than WordPress) in the wp-admin directory of WordPress.

That way, I login twice. The first time via Apache properties (the different name/password than WordPress) and once I am successfully past that, then I login via the WordPress login screen.

If you need help setting up your encrypted password with the .htpasswd, you can go to this site

https://www.ilovejackdaniels.com/apache/password-protect-a-directory-with-htaccess

and there is an encrypted password generator that gives you the encrypted password to place into .htpasswd.

(1): Go register for a blog at wordpress.com

(2): Once registered, login to the blog

(3): Click on ‘dashboard’

(4): Users -> your profile and the API key is located at the top of this page. Copy this key and paste it into the Akismet.

Also, when I signed up for a wordpress.com blog and recieved my welcome e-mail, the API key was at the bottom of the e-mail.

Admin:

You may close this thread. I decided to install a third time but re-downloading the zip file and discovered that the new download was slightly bigger in bytes. Somehow during the first download, I lost a couple of packets or something in the zip file. However, Upon re-downloading and re-installing, the blog is now opening up to the main page.

Now I am reviewing everything to see if it is working.

I just tried to reinstall the WordPress. The install appears per the installation screens to successfully install. However, I get the same results as my first post.

I re-reviewed the .htaccess page to see if anything was there and no luck.


$mail->AddBCC('[email protected]', 'First Person');

where [email protected] needs to be changed to the e-mail address you want to BCC to. Place this in the file wp-email.php along with all the other $mail strings around line 70

Will this work for 1.5.2?

I found out on the RedAlt blog that my Spam Filter was blocking trackbacks. I had Kitten’s Spaminator and I even tried Spam KArma 2 and both of them were blocking trackbacks. I disabled my spam filter and replaced it with the “Bad Behavior” plugin spam filter and activated it and it appears as if trackbacks are working again.

Beer:

Thanks for your post to this thread. I went through my log files and someone outside of my IP range has been trying to get into my blog via the login pages.

I do not have the capability to allow/deny by IP address because of not having a static IP address like arjunprabhu stated nor do I have SSH, but you did mention .htaccess which made me remember .htpasswd and I was able to password protect the entire wp-admin directory to block access to my login screen.

Plus to be even more secure, it recommended to protect the file “wp-login.php” in the root directory your blog is located at because WordPress allows you to login to the admin station of the blog from that file. Therefore, I went into my .htaccess file and added :

[code]
AuthUserFile /full/path/to/username/.htpasswd
AuthName "Message to go on user's login screen"
AuthType Basic
Allow from all
<Files wp-login.php>
Allow from all
Require user username1
</Files>
[/code]

and uploaded .htaccess and .htpasswd and that helps
