Thank you! Appreciate the quick response.

Success!!! I bit the bullet and just went ahead and did as you told me. Entered the snippet and actually viewed the site at least 20 times in another browser just for good measure. Then deleted the snippet and installed the plug-in. It activated without a hitch and what’s more, those malicious ip addresses I had banned are still there. Thank you so much for the great support, Jason!

Version 1.2.2, is that the latest? Can I just reinstall and activate straight away without having to do the steps?

I’m going to try this solution in a couple of days. I usually need to build up the courage to do these kinds of things. I kid you not, I almost got a heart attack the last two times the site went down. I’ll keep you posted. Thanks, Jason!

Thanks for the response! If I wait for the next version will I still have to add the code snippet or can I just download and activate straight away?
The reason why I ask is, I’m afraid I might mess up something again. And I’m not sure exactly where to place the code snippet. Here is a portion of the header.php.

<meta http-equiv=”Content-Type” content=”<?php bloginfo(‘html_type’); ?>; charset=<?php bloginfo(‘charset’); ?>” />
<?php $the_title = wp_title(‘ – ‘, false); if ($the_title != ”) : ?>
<title><?php echo wp_title(”,false); ?> | <?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></title>
<?php else : ?>
<title><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?><?php if ( $paged > 1 ) echo ( ‘ – page ‘.$paged ); ?></title>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php if ( is_singular() && get_option( ‘thread_comments’ ) ) wp_enqueue_script( ‘comment-reply’ ); ?>
<link rel=”stylesheet” type=”text/css” media=”all” href=”<?php bloginfo( ‘stylesheet_url’ ); ?>” />
<link rel=”pingback” href=”<?php bloginfo( ‘pingback_url’ ); ?>” />
<?php wp_head(); ?>
</head>

Holy cow alchymyth! It actually worked. Absolutely genius. Thanks, Christine and alchymyth.

I’ll keep this thread open for a bit. I plan to work on it this weekend. Many, many thanks alchymyth and Christine for your support.

Thanks, Christine. I’ll take a look, but I might just wait for some genius to come up with that kind of a plug-in.

Hi Christine,

So if I understand this correctly, in FTP, I download all the theme files onto my computer, then copy page.php and rename the copy no-sidebar-page.php, then upload only no-sidebar-page.php to the same level as page.php. Question is, instead of downloading, the theme files, is it possible to just right click page.php in FTP and make a copy directly? This is probably something I should know, but I hardly ever go in FTP, because it scares me.

Thanks, alchymyth. This may sound like a stupid question, but how do I make a copy of page.php? Do I do that through FTP or can that be done in the site dashboard? If done through FTP, do I save no-side-bar-page.php at the same level as the page.php?

Thanks, really appreciate it.

It would be great if you could add those just as options in the settings panel, so the user can just make a selection whether they want to turn on the feature or not. Thanks!

Forgot to mark this resolved. BTW, I was so thrilled yesterday when I installed this plug-in I was just clicking all of them, because I could! Regards!

All good now. Didn’t realize it was as simple as that. Thanks again for this marvelous plug-in.

I went ahead and installed and activated wp-pagenavi. You’re right! I didn’t have to change any coding. Thanks, Philopil!

It works! I just went ahead and installed and activated the plug-in. Didn’t have to change a thing.
