In reply to: Image Upload Problem: Forbidden 404I had a similar problem – got a 404 page when trying to insert an image. I solved it by the info in this sticky: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/164999
I used the info from no. 6 of “things to try”:
6. mod_security might be causing problems. Disable it to see if that is the problem. To do this, make an .htaccess file in your wp-admin directory. Add this to it:
<IfModule mod_security.c> SecFilterEngine Off SecFilterScanPOST Off </IfModule>
That will disable mod_security for the upload file receiving code in the wp-admin directory.

In reply to: WP 2.1 – Posting Problem@falp –
If you put the <div> on a separate line then you’ll get the correct formatting. If you write:
<div id"test"> blah blah blah </div>
then WordPress will place “blah blah blah” within paragraph tags.

In reply to: stop filter deleting id-tags from image-tagsOpen upload-js.php (in the wp-admin folder)
Find the 3 “<img” tags: lines 88, 166 and 239. They look like this:
<img src='" + ( this.currentImage.thumb ...(etc.)
You need to put an id in front of the src, like this:
<img id='" + this.currentImage.ID + "' src='" + ( this.currentImage.thumb ...(etc.)
This will give you the id values that you need. I’ve tested this and it works fine.
Good luck!Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Dropdown List of Posts in a CategoryI looked for info on this and couldn’t find any, but I worked it out fairly easily. For my purposes I used a second loop – see https://codex.www.ads-software.com/The_Loop for info on multiple loops.
I have this on an archive page. At the top of my page I have a dropdown menu for quick links to posts, underneath I have the same links listed with their excerpts.
The menu:
<form name=”jump”>
<select name=”menu”>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<option value=”<?php the_permalink() ?>”><?php the_title(); ?></option>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</select>
<input type=”button” onClick=”location=document.jump.menu.options[document.jump.menu.selectedIndex].value;” value=”Go”>
</form>To start the second loop using the same query you use rewind_posts:
<?php rewind_posts();??>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
(etc.)Hope this helps.

In reply to: yearly archives display year “0”One day later – the problem has disappeared on its own. I’ll chalk it up to server weirdness.

In reply to: Order by date not workingHmm, could be.
I think you should talk to your server support. Explain what’s going on and ask if it’s something with how MYSQL is querying the database.
I don’t think you need to clear the db and start over, though! At least I hope not. ??
The problem probably lies elsewhere./Colin

In reply to: Order by date not workingNice site!
Strange about the order. I tried to find a pattern but couldn’t. I did notice that category archives display correctly, but the monthly didn’t and neither did the index.
Have you looked at query_posts?
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Template_Tags/query_postsVery easy and powerful: open the index.php for example and replace
<?php get_header(); ?>(this is found on line 1)
with
<?php
get_header();
query_posts(‘order=DESC’);
?>This will list the posts in chronological order. Use order=ASC if you want to go the other way. Now, this is supposed to be the default that WP uses but what do we know. Sometimes things are screwy.
If this works you’ll need to paste it into a few different files: index, archive, archives, and search I guess; depends on the theme you’ve created.
Hope this helps.

In reply to: Exclude Category from archivesMake a template for your archive and use a query at the top of the page, i.e.
<?php query_posts(‘cat=-1’); ?>
which excludes category 1 from the page. Much better than a plugin IMHO!
