How do I do this?

Hi, I have a graphic on my front page that the link would sit behind, so I would need a hyperlink, not a widget. Thanks.

Ok thanks, that worked.

I am running a live website so won’t be installing a dev version, when will this be fixed in live?

Removing that line from the file didn’t fix it for me either.

Is it because the draft version (i.e. the Scheduled version from when I wrote it) is still in the cache? Or does WP Super Cache check the status of the post from the database? Or is it checking “seconds” too (i.e. it’s scheduled for 06:52:42 but wp-cron runs at 06:52:00)?

I have exactly this – updated from 1.0 to 1.1 and now the cache is not cleared whenever a scheduled post is published (and I do have the “Clear all cache files when a post or page is published or updated” option enabled). I’ve changed no settings at all since upgrading, and now I need to manually clear my cache each morning.

Resolved: ‘The Simple Post Template’ plugin adds three blank space characters into the Excerpt field. So it was displaying my manual excerpt – turns out the plugin was overriding WP generating the excerpt by adding a manual excerpt of blank spaces.

Update: I’ve found in wp-admin that I can add ‘Excerpt’ to the ‘Edit Post’ screen using the Screen Options. This is blank for all posts, before and after the December upgrade.

If I add in a manual excerpt for one of the problem posts, it displays in the Category archives page. I don’t know if this is using an overriding database field instead of where WP generates the excerpt to – I guess it must be if it’s blank for all the posts where the excerpt displays correctly.

So as a workaround I can manually paste my excerpt in, but it seems like WP has stopped generating them automatically?

Hi esmi,
I did as you suggested, but when I reran the upgrade it gave me an Internal Server Error at the end when it navigated to about.php?upgrade or similar. I don’t know if this has affected anything.

If I use the TwentyEleven theme, the excerpts display fine – I think using get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() );. Using my own theme, which simply uses the_excerpt(), I still have the issue.

Interestingly, when I replaced get_template_part( 'content', get_post_format() ); from TwentyEleven with the_excerpt();, I got the same behaviour – TwentyElevn didn’t display the excerpts for the period, but did display the excerpts for the period before the December upgrade, which suggests to me that wherever the_excerpt is stored, it’s now not being stored there when I save a post. (I’ve also tried editing one of the problem posts since tonight’s re-install to see if that would repopulate the_excerpt but it hasn’t).

Okay, I checked your support site and it turns out they were all Pings, not Comments. I’ve run your ‘Auto Close Pings and Trackbacks’ plugin, cleared my cache and will let you know if I get any more.

If I don’t want comments at all, can’t I just remove the functions in comments.php? Better to stop it completely than to allow people to do it and then have me go in and delete them every day.

I run a charity website and there’s no spare money for Akismet. How do I configure WordPress so that comments cannot be made?

They’re on my site at the bottom of posts. I don’t know how they’re getting there because each new post has “Comments are closed.” at the bottom. And then a few days later, there’s loads of spam comments there.

Yes, I have that set which prevents any comments from being autopublished, but the fact is that if I’ve ticked ‘user must be registered and logged in to comment’, then I should only have comments waiting for approval if they are registered and were logged in.
