Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: WP 2.1 Hacked via Uploads DirectoryAs well, setting my uploads folder on a test install to 700 fails to allow display of graphics previously uploaded by ftp, stored in specific folders, and called by a normal link in a post.
Too bad too, because that would have been really nice.

In reply to: Site keeps switching back to default themeNot that it has anything to do with me, but in response to vkaryl’s reply I say: So what, it works doesn’t it? Personally I think that’s a pretty good thought.
Er…. yes, I thought that was what I meant when I posted. Not sure why you’d be offended….

In reply to: What code, where, controls length of Category ‘names’?Just back…. I believe so, I haven’t myself done that sort of thing, but there’s nothing to stop you trying – just backup the database first, using the Export function….

In reply to: What code, where, controls length of Category ‘names’?This might be in the database, instead of in the code. I haven’t looked myself (and haven’t time right now, just posting before heading to town), but you might check there first: wp_categories would be the table I think, and then you’d need to look at the structure to see how the text fields are set up.
If it’s set as “longint” or something, with a 255 char limit, then you know the problem IS in the code, and you’ll at that point have to consider whether you want to hack core code every time wp gets upgraded….

In reply to: Theme is irregularly reset to default themeNow that’s one I would NEVER have thought of! Creativity is a true blessing…. and I will file this one away to hopefully remember should the problem ever occur for either me or my clients!
Thanks for posting!
Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Limiting how much of a post is displayedThere’s a lengthy page of “how-to” on Kafkaesquí’s site where you got the plugin. I’m sure it addresses that situation there somewhere…. For one thing, the plugin defaults to “the_excerpt” – so you’re going to have to read the documentation on the page thoroughly, so that you can “undefault” the stuff you want changed.

In reply to: Displaying Child pages on every page but the homepageStart here: Conditional_Tags. That should give you the basics of what you need. After you read it over, then post back with what you tried if it didn’t work.
[I *think* you might need to do something like
if (!is_home())
, though at the moment my head is fuzzy from a cold and the wrong allergy med, so I’m most likely wrong – Handy Solo or Otto42 will be able to offer more “real” help probably….]Forum: Your WordPress
In reply to: Dusty AntOh, VERY good! How fun, clever, and evocative of personality…. Kudos to you, and happy blogging!

In reply to: One Error on ValidationWell, sorry so slow, finally looked at the error page on w3…. Take out the two breaks (

) following the closing li/ul/li series after View all posts filed under Humor. If you need extra space there, use some padding in the appropriate element in style.css.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Multiple Admins Break Write Post page. Bug?I have a setup like this using 2.0.9, on a normal host provider online. It works perfectly, so it may be something specific to xampp?
[Edit: more specifically, I have myself and another person set as admins, with different logins, and the entire write page loads and works just fine for either of us.]
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Activate pluginsYour host is running php in safe mode. Some plugins and such won’t work properly (or sometimes at all) in safe mode.

In reply to: possible to upload an excel file?Well, that’s great information, thanks! Don’t know if the original poster will ever see it, but at least the next person who’s looking for the same will find a solution!

In reply to: A Theme that will let me in…Be SURE once you’re through editing that you change the file permissions back to 644 and the folder permissions back to 755. It’s very dangerous to leave them set looser than that.

In reply to: One Error on ValidationPost bunches of code to https://wordpress.pastebin.ca/ then post the resulting link back here.
How I see where the line numbers really are: view and copy source on the page in question, paste into notepad2 (set to show line numbers), find the line number referenced in the validator, check the part of the page the line appears in (header, main, sidebar, footer, whatever), find the error in the appropriate file. Latest version of FF seems to have line numbering as well when viewing source (unless it’s one of my 30 extensions…. always possible….)
