    In reply to: Error 403

    I had a similar problem with a 403 error, but I got down to simply posting “Test” in both the title and content area and still didn’t help. I ended up finding this text which got plugged into .htaccess (a hidden file).

    <IfModule mod_security.c>
    SecFilterEngine Off
    SecFilterScanPOST Off
    </IfModule>

    Worked like a charm – have no idea what it’s doing, but I can now post again.

    Trent: you are a god.

    Thank you. Turns out that there was another css file that I was not seeing in my theme editor on the dashboard. white.css had to be edited through the website control panel, and it was there that the background color was being set. The utility that you mentioned is exactly what did it.

    Thanks again!!!!

    Thanks Trent:

    This is about all the table code in there:

    table{
    width:100%;
    border-spacing:0px;
    margin:0em 0;
    }
    table th, table td{ padding:0.3em 0.75em }
    table th{
    background:#aaa;
    color:#000;
    text-align:left;
    }
    table td{
    background:#aaa;
    color:#000000;
    }

    When the #aaa is changed to #FFFFFF, (in both instances) nothing happens. Still a mystery. I’m installing that utility you pointed to now…

    BTW – if you were literally asking what #aaa is, it’s a blue.

    its actually in a table. I’ve tried manually changing the bgcolor on the table to no success. Can it be looking at something else I’m not thinking of?

    Thanks, I’ll try the utility you referred to.

    Thanks Trent.

    Didn’t think of that initially. However, that was not it. There were 2 background=”image” in the file that I changed. The others were for search, comments, or footers. I did not test changing those.

    Any other suggestions?

    I have the same problem. However, it only appears in my posts when I view them as future dated. Once the date comes around and it becomes a public post, the problem is corrected automatically. Any chance you’re future dating your posts?

    sorry – last update – it worked and completed harvesting all links. over 400 pages and posts. Now to see if it will update links as I post them. I have many future dated posts out there and will be curious to see if the logic is in the program.

    Thanks Alex for this wonderful program. It’s both very cool and innovative.

    In reply to: Link Harvest Problem

    Update: on my larger blog I was able to get through 405 posts before it died on me. The first try it only got through 225 posts and I removed the links from the page that had about 40 links in it. Second time I removed links from the last post with about 7 links, about 5 of them redundant. However, it’s still stopping on that post. I can’t figure out why.

    At any rate – because it didn’t get all the way thought the process, it won’t be updating as future posts are added. I’ll have to keep trying.

    Alex – I’ll send you the 3 log files if you’re interested, but I don’t think there’s much in there to diagnose from.

    To Pigzen: Yup: it works. My smaller blog of 42 posts is just fine. I’m not going to try it on my blog with 550 posts.

    this topic says resolved, but here is the code i use to display 5 posts with dates in a bulleted list. just change the category and number of posts in line 1,


    <?php $posts = get_posts( "category=2&numberposts=5" ); ?>
    <?php if( $posts ) : ?>
    <ul>
    <?php foreach( $posts as $post ) : setup_postdata( $post ); ?>
    <li>
    <span class="date">
    <?php the_time('F j'); ?>
    </span>
    <a href=<?php the_permalink() ?>>
    <?php the_title(); ?>
    </a>
    </li>
    <?php endforeach; ?>
    </ul>
    <?php endif; ?>

    Nice site. I personally prefer some categorization on the sidebar and limiting the length of the blog. Scrolling down that far is rare and the content gets lost. Better if you allow people to select topics of their interest and then see the selected content.

    Just my opinion. Otherwise nice standard K2 looking blog (which is never a bad thing).

    The existing code is the following:


    <h3><?php _e('Scheduled Entries:') ?></h3>
    <ul>
    <?php
    foreach ($scheduled as $post) {
    if ($post->post_title == '')
    $post->post_title = sprintf(__('Post #%s'), $post->ID);
    echo "<li>" . sprintf(__('%1$s in %2$s'), "<a href='post.php?action=edit&amp;post=$post->ID' title='" . __('Edit this post') . "'>$post->post_title</a>", human_time_diff( current_time('timestamp', 1), strtotime($post->post_date_gmt. ' GMT') )) . "</li>";
    }
    ?>
    </ul>

    Simply adding the below does not seem to help. I’ve tried adding it to several places before the </li>


    <?php the_date('Y-m-d', '<h2>', '</h2>'); ?>
