I just upgraded to 1.5-alpha-6 2004-12-21 and just installed Spam Karma. WP notified me via email that my test comments were posted.

I’m sort of a kook….in that I need to have it all in one file so I can grasp what’s going on. If I do separate parts out, I’ll still maintain the main layout within the index file. Consider me a top-down Neanderthal stuck in an OO world. ??

As a starting point I set up a WordPress default theme. I combined the wp-header.php, wp-footer.php, and wp-sidebar.php into that index.php file, being careful to take out all the calls for those files. Then I copied it into wp-content/themes/unaltered/ directory along with the wp-comments.php, wp-comments-popup.php, and wp-layout.css files. Then changed each of those files to their proper theme names–comments.php, comments-popup.php, style.css. Added the proper header info to the styles.css file….and then it was good to go.

For 1.3…..I used that file as a starting point. I don’t know if I’ll ever be done though. ??

Did Root have anything to do with this site? https://thebombsite.com/layouts.php

Thanks for the link…..bookmarked. ??

Thanks…I managed to find the link to the plugin: https://www.gudlyf.com/index.php?p=376
IMO, that plugin should be incorporated into WP. In this day and age with so much automated spam it seems like a necessity. Plus it would make upgrading easy. ??

Who are these people who set their screen resolution to 800×600?……that’s so mid 90s. ?? 1024×768 should be the minimum crutch. :p

Thanks, I’m very glad to know that.

Anonymous, the codex theme instructions are linked via the WordPress Dev Blog. And anyway, I like knowing the link to one site rather than having to search for links to multiple sites to find instructions on how to do something.

It pisses me off too. I was going to read through it to figure out what I needed to do to make sure my template files are read from the /wp-content/theme/name/ directory rather than the default templates.
