I believe my plugin External Files will help. It provides a shortcode which imports code from a file or url and auto-highlights it.

I’d appreciate any feedback!

Hi

I had much the same requirement and found a syntax highlighter i liked, so I wrapped it into a plugin – External Files.

If your code snippets are saved as a file or url, you can wrap that file or url in [external] shortcode in the editor and the file will be imported and highlighted automatically.

Extra parameters allow you to specify which lines to import and override the syntax highlighting format.

It’s available at https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/external-files

I’d really appreciate any feedback – I’ll try and update the plugin with any suggestions you have.

Thanks, Adam

Hi Maev

I wrote a plugin for showing code, although the code needs to be in an external file or url – it’s called External Files.

Hi Takuhii

I had much the same problem, especially with maintaining code indenting, so I wrote a plugin – External Files.

You could just use

$_SESSION['blogname'] = get_bloginfo('name')

in file a (assuming session_start() has been called by wp). Then, in file b

session_start(); \\ at the very top
echo $_SESSION['blogname'];

Instead of using send.php, why not have the contact form post to itsself (myplugin.php). Then in myplugin, have an ‘if’ statement to see if the form has been posted

if($_REQUEST['message']) {
/* send the contact form */
/if

Could you install another version of phpmyadmin on your hosting?

The only thing you could do is put a conditional statement at the top of your plugin(s) that checks, say, a page variable and only runs the script if it matches

You could try going direct to the settings page at https://www.yoursite.com/blog/wordpress/wp-admin/options-general.php

Obviously you’ll need to change that (up to wp-admin) to match your site

One thing i’d do is make sure your content is extractable – ie, it’s valid markup with no inline styles, so that if you want to export it and use it elsewhere at some point you can.

We’re just finishing a site in WordPress 1.5 which rapidly grew to 2,500 pages (way above expectations). The amount of work i’ve had to do to get things usable… for example, the internal function that generates a nested list of all the page titles is really inefficient, and is used on more pages than you’d think!

I guess you could change the akismet plugin to show all spam posts, not just one per IP address. Shouldn’t be too difficult?

There’s a few posts about this;

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/1417

And Alex King wrote a plugin called WP Unformatted which removes the auto-formatting based on custom fields, but can easily be changed to remove it from every post.

Good thread, i’ve also been wondering why this is. Blogachover says;

the likelihood is just about 100% that if you got one spam from an IP address, everything from that IP is indeed spam

But does it work both ways? If a legitimate comment is marked as spam, and that user (ie IP) has posted more than one comment, will marking the first comment as ‘not spam’ also mark the users’ other comments?

Thanks for the plug, Croila!

Madsphi: the site we are working on at the moment is currently at about 2,500 pages (and 0 posts!). This is why i wrote the Pages+ plugin Croila mentions above.

The main issues we’ve had with wordpress are;

Friendly URLs using mod_rewrite
WP creates 4 mod_rewrite rules for each page – so was causing the htaccess file to run to about 11megs. Crashed our hosts’ webserver, got in trouble! Resolved by using index.php/path/to/page/ syntax.

Speed issues with certain core functions
Some of the core WP functions are obviously not written for page-based sites. For example, wp_list_pages – if you want to get a page ‘tree’ of all pages below page X, this function gets the entire page tree and then filters it – so becomes very resource intensive.

WP auto-formatting posts
Wordpress automatically replaces newlines in posts with br tags – so if you put html code in the page content, you’ll end up with lots of whitespace on your code. Today I found a way of turning this off – I’ll plugin-ise it and post it when i get a second.

A few lesser issues, but contact me through my site if you want to chat in more depth!

Use urlencode($title) where $title is the text to encode. If you also want it lowercase, use strtolower(urlencode($title))

hope that helps, adam
