I read it and now, thanks to your time and effort, will save my time and patience by avoiding this plugin like the plague. Thank you for your service. Please accept my gentle pat on the back.

What I have found is that, when editing an old post, or creating a new one, whatever “zones” you have set up are listed as categories. You can pick among them by checking them off. So they’re really just another way of classifying things.

Thanks for the reference artc1209. I’ve read it but still don’t understand how to use the plugin. As I recently wrote the author “I have installed your zoninator plugin but cannot see its value, usefulness, or how it works at all. Take your installation instruction #3 which reads, “Go to Dashboard > Zones to create and manage zones.” Well, I go to my Dashboard and see there is nothing called “Zones” anywhere. No listing called Zones, no menu item called Zones, nothing! So, of course there is no obvious way to “create” or “manage” zones. I’m using WordPress 3.1.4 and the Atahualpa 3.6.7 theme. Are zones meant to be a way to order the layout of your posts? If so, how do they do that? Or are they just another way to segregate types of posts, like categories (and if so why not just use categories?).
I really wish plugin authors would spend a bit more time explaining the use and value of their code then thy tend to do around here.

Hooray! This problem is solved!

The solution was provided as follows:

Suggestion from katrina1 at Lunarforums.com: It sounds like you may be hitting a mod_security error. Add the following to .htaccess:

<IfModule mod_security.c>
SecFilterEngine Off
SecFilterScanPOST Off
</IfModule>

I did as suggested. Afterward had no problem posting my post. And the video works very well when accessed.

Well, thanks for letting me know. I haven’t a clue about what it is, its seriousness, how it bears on my problem (if at all), or what to do about it. But thanks for taking the time to check it out and write to me.

I’m a writer. Certainly not a php programmer. If there’s a problem with the php code that’s on www.remarpro.com’s head. We must be free to just write and post without worrying about how the engine is tuned. If it doesn’t meet our needs, or becomes too much trouble to use, we’ll just found another venue and dump the turkey.

I had the same problem. My error was in simply uploading the first folder to be produced when I unzipped the zipped file (I hope that sentence makes sense). Anyway, it turns out there is another folder WITHIN that first folder which is the one which is supposed to be uploaded. It usually has the same name as the folder which appears when the original zipped file is unzipped. Confusing, yes. A bit tedious, yes. But uploading the next file down solved my problem.

Thanks, TechGnome! I crossposted there (www.joomla.org) so I’ll go check with them from time to time. The Joomla folks put out a great CMS, but their approach to blogging is weak. And WP’s is so cool, artistic, and well developed in comparison.
