If they are not spam, but merely include links they sincerely added, why remove the links ?

If they are spam, the commentators are not going to come back to appreciate your post, their formula-written idiot comments, nor the loss of the links, so just ruthlessly destroy the comments.

It’s a kindness in the end.

There’s a plugin called Post Mirror that duplicates the contents of a post into another page, but whether it could combine multiple posts into a single page I very much doubt.

In the meantime I was looking to install Antispam Bee from the dashboard, and the search page came up with yet another, iF AJAX Comments For WordPress which stated it was out of date and people should install PTM-AJAX Comments instead; so maybe that one would be best, despite the first working well enough.

Go to Appearance in the Dashboard, and in the sub-menu choose Editor.

There you will get the screen ‘Edit Themes’. On the right is a list of templates you can edit there, including header.php.

You will need to do this for each theme you use.

[ Although personally I link in the post as:

<center><a href="https://www.ser.com/imagesX/Cats.png"><img src="https://www.ser.com/imagesX/Cata-small.png" alt="Cats" /></a></center>

Where Cats-small.png is the image in the post and Cats.png is the larger image linked to, both in directory imagesX.

I can’t see why this could not link to a page instead of to a larger image… ]

I admire the fascismo of Decisions — Not Options ! in an abstract sense, really I do ( ever provided the effects are remote from me… ), but would it not be simplest for there to be a prominent page on .org listing every plugin, present and future, that can revert an aspect back to that which just worked ?

That way progress on the one true path can proceed, while those who dislike certain changes can continue ( albeit with additional plugins merely to stay asyouwere ) can run their own blogs as they prefer.

Personally, I shall not go to 3.3 mostly because of the admin bar, but also this — I like 3.2 as it is; but such a reference page could be of great help to those who do.

Additionally: should your site be personal, and not for profit, the chances that anyone will bother you — or ever notice your website — are minimal, and even then you could argue ‘fair use’. And if they did you could always withdraw the picture.

Weirdly, around ten years ago, the sort of people who want to be paid whenever there is any transaction argued that whilst they couldn’t claim copyright ( to be paid to the current owner of the work of art… ) on behalf of the original artist who happened to die 500 years previously, the copyright applied to the photographic image of the art currently in their possession. This was rejected by US courts on the grounds that no further original artistry was involved in duplication.

Stopping Fine Art from being circulated is one thing: what of currently produced work ? It is as bad manners to copy pictures off another blog as to copy their posts. With proper *living* artists or photographers who make money from their work, only with their permission [ although really, any true artist would welcome exposure — it’s not as if they are overwhelmed with publicity, poor things ). With random stuff you get off Danbooru, and other useful image sites which have fairly small legal rights to show works — being art aggregators rather than galleries, it’s lottery odds against anyone caring. Again, these are ( sometimes brilliant ) works ‘…whom there were none to praise and very few to love.‘ and any further exposure has to be a good thing.

Thanks for this great plugin.

However, according to this — semi-official, since it was linked from my dashboard — site,

Previously, you could disable the admin bar while reviewing the dashboard by simply unchecking a box in your user’s profile area. In WordPress 3.3, that option is removed for the good.

Will the plugin still work in 3.3 ? I know that programmers ( in KDE, which I prefer, as much as Microsoft ) tend to remove options for users to disable much-hated features, but this instance seems absurd…

Thanks, photocurio, I was desperately looking for some way to disable it for myself — it being new, and I being quite able to open the Dashboard in a new tab.

All these additional bars, on top — slide-in — pop-up etc. etc. are the curse of the internet…

Your upgrade works perfectly, and behaviour is exactly as before.

Many thanks for a superlative plugin which has made putting video into blogs trivial and pleasant.

I’ve deactivated all the plugins several times… Including renaming the folder etc.. Nothing. Plus as said I took out all recently updated plugins and uninstalled supercache.

And no,I’ve had the same theme for the past three years with no alteration or addition, so that is very unlikely.

My best bet is that the slight fault I intimated in my last sentence is mixing badly with an old server: leaving a piece of blame on each side. And that the Permalink updating issue is at the heart of the problem.

[ I have always used /%postname%/ since the start. Altering to default and then back — or to other structures — makes no difference. ]

Wordtube is one of the best plugins there are, and I’m very grateful for it.

I looked to updating it a few hours ago ( WP 2.9.2 Wordtube 2.2.2 ) and downloaded JW Player 5.1, renamed player-viral.swf to player.swf to get it working and swapped out the old file for the new. I was surprised the new file was 85kib instead of 42kib, but it worked fine with my old videos.

Sadly however, there’s a bug or something, which I couldn’t find in any setting: when paused the old version merely showed a triangle-pause button; the new version had a hideous black & white script with various options for sharing, emailing etc. and this just covers the video screen until continued, without any possibility of getting rid of it.

Not everyone wants to continue a boring video, on the other hand they don’t want to look at that rubbish either. There isn’t the faintest point in my offering sharing etc. anyway, though some may chose to.

I changed back to the previous player.swf and all was working well again. So I wouldn’t recommend upgrading: I’m not even sure if there are any benefits to upgrading since wordtube works so well…

I found this though looking on Google for drafts excerpts wordpress plugin…

I totally agree. With many drafts, it would be good to just see what each contains.
