I’m not really sure what would cause this issue, but I’ll run some tests and see if I can re-construct the issue your having and see if I can fix it.
Thanks for letting me know.
Just updated it with the fix, you should see the update in your WordPress admin panel shortly.
Thanks for letting me know about this bug, I’ll put out a fix in the next hour or so.

In reply to: How to add border around post?That would be in your header.php file most likely and the line you would have to change would most likely look something like this.
<a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><?php bloginfo('name'); ?></a>
You’d have to change it to
<a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>"><img src="LINK_TO_IMAGE" alt="<?php bloginfo('name'); ?>" /></a>
Replacing the text LINK_TO_IMAGE with your http link to your logo.

In reply to: How to show author on front pageIf your using a static front page instead of the default it may have to go under the page.php or single.php file.

In reply to: How to add border around post?Open up your style.css file and look for something like .post and .sidebar or #sidebar and add the following.
border: 1px solid #ccc; padding: 5px;
Although this may not work if your theme doesn’t use the post and/or sidebar classes. If they don’t you’ll have to search through your index.php, single.php, post.php, and sidebar.php files for the classes or ids used in your theme.

In reply to: Video Link – Popup in LIghtbox, etc.?P.S. As Ursula has mentioned if you don’t want to upload your video to YouTube and you want to self-host it, then yes install the plugin from https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/secure-html5-video-player/
Once installed test the video file to see if its working, if it doesn’t play you may have to re-encode the video file into a FLV or as the HTML 5 standard Ogg format.

In reply to: Video Link – Popup in LIghtbox, etc.?Twilitegxa – By saying you can use a video player plugin means that you’ll have to use something like YouTube or JW player. But based upon your experience your best bet is to upload the video to YouTube and use the embed code provided.
I think you don’t fully understand how video on the web works so I’ll try to quickly boil it down for you. Your video file is stored on your server and the person viewing the file needs the software installed on their computer to see the video but you cannot rely on just simply serving up a standard MP4 video file.
Commonly videos on the web are encoded as FLV files and then played using a flash player, this is because there is something like 98% of people have the flash player installed on there computers, making the file compatible for almost everyone to see.
YouTube and all other major video sites use Flash players, well it used to be like that but with the new HTML 5 video tag things will be getting mixed tossed around as time moves forward and the web evolves.
Anyway my absolute best advice for you is to either upload the video to YouTube and use there embed code or hire someone to create a custom video player and learn how to serve each video file through that player but the cheapest, fastest and easiest way for you is going to be YouTube.

In reply to: Video Link – Popup in LIghtbox, etc.?Yes you are right, best bet, upload it to your YouTube channel if you don’t know how to create a custom player and use the YouTube Embed URL on the pop-up window.

In reply to: Video Link – Popup in LIghtbox, etc.?<a href="javascript:void();" onclick="javascript:window.open('video/2008.mp4','Video Name','width=640,height=340,resizable=yes,');">Play a video file</a>
Do a search via https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/ for Video Lightbox and you’ll find a bunch of plug-ins that can do Lightbox effects for Videos, might need to play with a few to find the one that works best for you though.

In reply to: Using the standard Post URL structure for pages and custom postsI’m not 100% sure I fully understand the question because the way its phrased its already answered but…
When you publish a page just below the title there will be a little button that say’s edit that enables you to change your permalink on a per-page/post basis, you can try
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: permalink by page_id in editorLook at your URL when you edit a page it will look something like
wp-admin/post.php?post=12&action=edit
Where the number 12 is your post/page ID. This only works in edit mode if you want to get your post ID of a new post simple select save draft and go back into the edit screen and you’ll see the URL.

In reply to: Custom permalink 404 ErrorHmm that is very strange that 3.2.1 doesn’t work while 3.1.2 does, its possible there was a bug that they fixed with permalink’s that solved your issue.
P.S. Big Bagel is correct about that extra line in the .htaccess that was my bad above.
