Not at this time, the plugin uses a standard graphic size for showing the artwork.

@ladysham, thanks for the email pointing this out for me.

The plugin neither deceitful or including hidden links. It is however, under maintained. When the Widget code was added in an earlier version, a control panel wasn’t enabled. The code to disable the credit line has always been there if called from PHP, but the Widget lacked the controls to enable it.

I’ve added the code to control the Widget this morning.

@otto, thanks for the email.

The update code is legacy code, part of the code I use to update from my own servers before some became part of WP.org, I’ll check the plugins today and make sure it’s removed. I didn’t realize it would affect the WP.org numbers.

@ Econophile

I host a dozen sites with Bluehost with 25,000 views a day and have experienced the same problems in the past but recently resolved it. Last week, my site was being throttled 2.5 hours a day, now the throttling is down to 50 seconds a day.

That comes from two major changes, I moved the RSS feed off the site and redirected it (the RSS feed isn’t cached and accounted for most of my CPU usage). https://helpfulcoder.com/38/offload-or-cache-your-wordpress-feed-for-maximum-performance/ Then I also updated the Super Cache settings to preload my content once a day https://thisismyurl.com/81/gain-valuable-seo-power-with-caching/ which dropped my CPU usage to almost nothing across the sites.

Dominick, before you give up entirely there are a couple things that I would recommend.

First, check to see if the data is OK in the database. If you don’t already have access through your hosting control panel, I have a post that might help you install phpMyAdmin and get connected to your database.

If you can get into it, do an Export! Just make sure you have a full export of the site first, to be safe.

Next step, open your wp-config.php file (in your FTP root directory) and check that it’s got the correct username and password, database connection information etc. The error your website is currently displaying is commonly found when your database is simply not connected.

If you’re able to see your database in step 1, most likely you’re OK.

If you can edit your file in step 2, most likely you can reconnect to the database.

Worse case, Google has a cache of your site that you can recover your content from if you search for https://wsopne.org/, you’ll see a link to the cache files.

The plugin has been fixed and updated, James is correct of course the function of this plugin is to add img#wpstats{display:none} to the header of your website.

Could you let me know what you mean by image placement? Was if for example causing images to be left aligned or right aligned?

At the moment the plugin only works for five images, defined in the wp-admin for your website.

I am however added a new feature which would allow you to rotate a variety of images in the next versions.

Azubi, I’m not sure that I understand your comment / criticism.

The WordPress AdBlock Blocker plugin (https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/wordpress-adblock-blocker/) is designed to redirect users who are running the Firefox AdBlocker addon away from your website, or to a special page within your website.

I’m aware that it’s also possible to do this without the use of a plugin, if you understand PHP and JavaScript (as are all things in plugins) however, this plugin is designed to simply make it easier for people who would like to do it easily.

If on the other hand, you’re staying the plugin doesn’t work or your configuration I’d happily take a look at the issue you’re attempting to resolve.

Regardless of why or who or what was moved, I’m having a difficulty figuring out what you want.

Either you’re looking for a stats counter for WordPress, in which case there are two exceptional options.

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/google-analyticator/
https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/stats/

Both use third party, reliable tracking.

Although if you’re looking for code to add to a non-WordPress site, I’m not sure this is the best place to ask.

Marjiec,

Your site loads fine from here but for future reference, if it is stuck in maintenance mode on the front end (client facing) simply delete .maintenance from the server. .

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/blog-now-stuck-in-maintenance-mode

If it’s glitching on the backend, I’d recommend simply installing a fresh copy of 3.0.1 when you move it to the client site.

Colesc, when you installed XAMP it created a folder called htdocs. This folder could be located anywhere depending on your installation settings but on my machine it’s in the applications folder

Applications > MAMP > htdocs (I’m on a Mac)

This folder is where https://localhost:8888 should result to, so if you’ve placed the entire WordPress folder inside htdocs, the URL would be https://localhost:8888/wordpress/ or the admin should be at https://localhost:8888/wordpress/wp-admin/

Your comment that you modified the wp-config.php file raises a flag for me. While you can do this, there’s no reason to as WordPress should do it for you. Delete the wp-config.php and go to https://localhost:8888/wordpress/ you should then receive a notice that there’s an error and a config file must be created. Click next and answer the questions, when WordPress has completed it should create a fresh wp-config.php file for you.

I would suspect that James is on the right track here, although there could be two problems you’re encountering.

Either a memory issue on the server, in which case increasing WP’s memory in the wp_config.php file:

define('WP_MEMORY_LIMIT', '64M');

As well as an .htaccess file fix of:

php_value memory_limit 64M

and finally the php.ini update:

memory_limit = 64M ;

Do keep in mind that some servers require the .htaccess and php.ini changes to be located in the wp-admin folder, not the root. I’ve seen situations where it even needed to be placed in the wp-includes directory and wp-content to work properly for uploaded.

The second issue I’ve encountered on some hosting environments which causes an issue similar to this is permissions. If the above doesn’t work, try changing all the files and all sub directories to 777, see if that helps. Obviously you don’t want to keep it at this level but as a test it will help clarify if it’s the server’s permission settings.

Finally, it may simply be the server. Run phpinfo() to ensure that your server is running everything it needs. I have 3.0.1 installed in around 30 server configurations across a variety of hardware and software, there are hiccups on some but not on most.

Hope that helps.

Prasanta, WordPress is written in PHP and your website in ASP.net, they’re use different operating systems (it’s like trying to run Mac software on Windows) but, you can do it.

If your host has PHP installed on your .net server, then you can install WordPress and it’ll run fine.

There are a couple great plugins for WordPress to quickly add shopping carts (WP-ecommerce is one for sure) but WordPress itself does not natively have a shopping cart.

With that said, Great Chefs website is made with WP and has a complete cart in it without any plugins beyond custom fields, so yes it’s very possible if (as Rev. Voodoo points out) you code it.

For what it’s worth, I’ve been with Bluehost since forever and have had nothing but warm and fuzzy feelings for them, especially when it comes to WordPress.
