I have discovered the update occurs at exactly 0800 EST although the WP time is set to GMT-5. That’s effectively, GMT-12, I think.

Thank you snowcrashWP! Removing the default ping-o-matic thing did the trick!

Lovely now. Just lovely. I forgot the “ping-o-matic” abortion was even there and whoever’s idea that was gets 20-lashes. Dumb idea making it a default. Normally I trust defaults but those days are over.

Like snowcrash above, I too am plagued with with dreadfully slow (:20 sec typical) Publish/Save action. Pings are off, and I’ve even tried disabling select plug-ins with no improvement.

This slow-down seems to have followed my WordPress 2.0 install and I’m relieved to see others noticing (and reporting) it too.

Congratulations on a beauty of a plug-in.

Question #1:
Is there a way to prevent a Quicktime linked to my own server from pre-loading each time my page it hit?

Logic #1:
If I have a large Quicktime on my front page, every visitor gets delivery whether or not a.) They’ve seen it before or b.)They don’t care to watch it.

Question #2:
Can it be made to hold a .WMV?

Logic #2:
I have several pre-existing WMV videos before deciding those were unpopular things. I can convert them to MOVs, but if all Quicktimes are pre-loading, I don’t think I want to do that the way my blog is presently set-up.

TIA!

Thanks fellas/gals.

Your posts put me on the track but the link code needed some tweaking to work for me (using WP 2.0)

This code works like a charm in 2.0 when placed in the wp-includes/js/quicktags.js file (with the other edInsertLink function within commented out (disabled), of course):


function edInsertLink(myField, i, defaultValue) {
if (!defaultValue) {
defaultValue = 'https://';
}
if (!edCheckOpenTags(i)) {
var URL = prompt ('Enter the link URL' ,defaultValue);
if (URL) {
edButtons[i].tagStart = '<a href="' + URL + '" title="' + prompt('Enter a title for the link', '') + '"/>';
edInsertTag(myField, i);
}
}
else {
edInsertTag(myField, i);
}
}

Notice my added and essential forward-slash following the prompt for title.

Again, my warm thanks for the rapid response. YMMV, but this is a great improvement for the way I work.

UPDATE: I fixed it by reverting back to the previous Nick Momrik version 1.15. Works great with WP 2.0.Hooray!

Same situation here. When using the ‘1’ it’s broken in WP 2.0 but it worked swell in WP 1.5. with version 1.15 of the plug-in. Now using Nick’s 1.18.

I prefer the ‘1’ setting so help untangling this would be much appreciated.

Minna, your willingness to have a look and comment was wonderful. Thanks. Doubting you’d return to read my commented reply, I reproduce it here:

Not sure you’ll see this Minna, but I’m honored by your visit and your comment, and in awe of all those in the forum so willing to help folks using WordPress in the same free and open spirit as those who gave birth to the wonderful open source program driving this site: WordPress itself.

What a wonderful world we’d live in if there were lots more of that sort of thing happening. Thank you for stopping by.

Aha! Your comment there isn’t a “Tangible,” just a background image helped very much and it’s now working fine.

No, I hadn’t tried what Avenir and victr9 suggested thinking there was a misunderstanding. My sincere apologies to both because their suggestion was exactly correct.

Had I been more experienced in this forum, I’m sure being familiar with the citizenry here would have opened my eyes. Many thanks to all three of you. WordPress and this great forum rock!

Oh, you misunderstand. I do not speak of the blog title. I speak of the balloon hover pop-up tag (similar to the way IE (incorrectly) handles and displays the “alt=” when you hover an image).

I no longer use the Kubric Theme once used in WP 1.2. When I switched to WP 1.5 its default is now the Kubric theme and there has been a big change in the way such things as header images are handled. Below is a quote lifted from the file header.php:

/* BEGIN IMAGE CSS */
/* To accommodate differing install paths of WordPress, images are referred only here, and not in the wp-layout.css file. If you prefer to use only CSS for colors and what not, then go right ahead and delete the following lines, and the image files. */

The line of code I find confusing reads:

#header { background: url("<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/kubrickheader.jpg") no-repeat bottom center; }

I don’t know how to add the “title=” tag to that line or if it’s even the correct place.

Thank you. Reply most appreciated sir.

Not sure how, where, or syntax when working within header.php. Sorry!
