Yes, on it! Thank you.

Hi Lester,

Yes, manual backups work. I can also delete backups. All the notices for backup status are green.

WP-Crontrol alerted me to the problem. There was a problem spawning a call to the WP-Cron system on your site. This means WP-Cron jobs on your site may not work. The problem was: SSL certificate problem, verify that the CA cert is OK. Details: error:14090086:SSL routines:SSL3_GET_SERVER_CERTIFICATE:certificate verify failed

Thank you!
Brian

I had to exclude the two CSS files that load before my child-theme css file for Minify NOT to break my theme while I was logged in.

admin-bar.min.css
dashicons.min.css

This is not an issue while logged out.

Clicking the images in the order I wish them to appear is a workable solution. It does become tiresome as the number of images increases.

WordPress queries the media library database entries and sorts them in some way. Can you intercept the query with a custom sorting value? Sure… having this set in the plugin settings would be okay.

Maybe the best place for client-side image sorting is in the lower queue instead of the media browser. Do you think there is room for a “reverse order” toggle of some kind?

Hi David, thanks for your swift response. I’ll follow up with clarifying details.

These screen captures show the WordPress default sorting behavior with uploaded images and images selected from the media library.

Ideally, I think custom sorting should occur alongside your filtering and search tools.

I personally would enjoy sorting by EXIF/IPTC meta data like the image capture date/time, but that is more complicated functionality than I truly need. A simple timestamp or filename sort with ASC/DSC options would suffice.

Regarding the Gallery, WordPress offers a “reverse order” button that isn’t present for inserting individual media items.

I host with ASmallOrange.com, and support told me that the file map_functions.php is being modified by their security scanner (Linux Malware Detect script), which is widely used in the hosting community:

Since most hackers are using base64 encode when importing exploits in php scripts, our scanner is automatically cleaning that. I’ve blocked that file fomr (sic) being edited, and our scanner won’t “clean” it again.

Must have been a fluke because my latest iOS post fed to Facebook without error. Sorry for the false alarm. If it happens again, I’ll work to identify any plugin incompatibilities. Thank you!

Avatars must be enabled in WordPress settings.

In Settings > Discussion > Avatars, set “Avatar Display” to “Show Avatars” and then click “Save Changes.”

I had to modify this plugin to work with WordPress 2.9.2

Remove or comment this code:

/* function wp_user_defaults_menu() {
  add_options_page('Default User Settings','Default User Settings',10,__FILE__,'wp_user_defaults_options');
} */

Modify the function wp_user_defaults_add_pages by replacing the function call at the very end ‘wp_user_defaults_menu’ with ‘wp_user_defaults_options’:

function wp_user_defaults_add_pages() {
  add_submenu_page('users.php','Default Settings','Default Settings','administrator','wp-user-defaults','wp_user_defaults_options');
}

Now it works!

I verified that I can successfully post via email using a POP server that does not require SSL authentication.

I think because gmail requires SSL authentication, the POP server will not authenticate wp-mail.php until it includes an option for SSL authentication.

Can anyone verify?
