Is gd.thumbnail.inc.php part of WordPress? Or part of something outside WP? If it is something that I cannot touch without access to the web server, I don’t think I can touch it. My site is hosted on godaddy.com
I am having the same issue. Does anyone have specific steps on how to put the above remedy in place?
I have just noticed the same issue.
I have simply deactivated this plugin, and I am looking for a way to display a random photo from my WP site’s galleries. I set this post’s status to “not a support question.”
I’m marking this one as resolved, since the first issue is withdrawn and I’m approaching the Ozh Admin Menu question in that plugin’s forum, at:
After carefully looking at the admin menu links, I have realized that we can indeed make use of Ozh’s option to disable top level menu clickability, and not lose anything. So, I am retracting the statement that it’s not an option for us. The second issue above is now withdrawn.
However, the first issue remains. There is no link to edit categories. If anyone can help me tweak the code in Ozh Admin menu I sure would appreciate it!
We are combining use of both the “Ozh Admin Menu” plugin with the “Category Write Panels” plugin. They are playing nice with each other except for only two issues.
Problem: There is no link to edit categories.
Reason: The “Posts” top level menu disappears, and the remaining “Categories” top level link leads to the wrong place. Clicking “Categories” actually goes to the Posts Edit page ( https://wvupci.net/wp-admin/edit.php ). It ought to point to the Categories Edit page ( https://wvupci.net/wp-admin/edit-tags.php?taxonomy=category ).
Solution: Edit the menu (using Ozh type code) to add the link. I just don’t know how.
Problem: Each of the category write panel’s main, top level link leads to the wrong place.
Details: When the CWP plugin is working by itself, a click on a top level menu goes to a valid, valuable page ( https://wvupci.net/wp-admin/edit.php?cat=X ). Once combined with Ozh Admin Menu, clicking a top level menu actually leads to a nowhere page ( https://wvupci.net/wp-admin/href= ).
Solution: Presumably use some Ozh-like code to give each CWP top level menu its proper link back — pointing to a category editing page ( https://wvupci.net/wp-admin/edit.php?cat=X ). I just don’t know how.
I am mucking through the code of the Ozh plugin trying to figure it out. If Ozh or anyone with experience is reading this, and can give me some tips, please post! Thanks in advance. ??
Now, if someone can help me get the author’s display name (or nickname) to show instead of “nicename” currently shown in the plugin’s template….
We’ll have a fairly solid WP 3.0 ‘Twenty Ten’ compatible version of the plugin. Anyone have any tips?
Ok, we have found the answer for #1 above. Found an answer on this page: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/320014?replies=6
…That led to this page: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/320635?replies=2
…Which led to this page in the Codex: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Template_Tags/the_content#Alternative_Usage…Which shows the following code for applying filters to get the shortcodes parsed:
<?php $content = apply_filters('the_content', $content); $content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content); ?>
Below is how we used that info to solve the problem of how to get the shortcodes parsed. By simply experimenting, I got this to work by changing this:
//Show content? if($atts['content']=='yes' && $single->post_content){ $output.= '<p>' . $single->post_content . '</p>'; }
…to this:
//Show content? $output.='<div class="entry-content">'; if($atts['content']=='yes' && $single->post_content){ $content = apply_filters('the_content', $single->post_content); // added to parse shortcodes $content = str_replace(']]>', ']]>', $content); // added to parse shortcodes $output.= '<p>' . $content . '</p>'; // line tweaked to output filtered content }

In reply to: [Plugin: Category Write Panels] More the 16 sub-categories — is that OK?We are using “Category Write Panels” in conjunction with the “Ozh Admin Menu Plugin.” We have more than 16 top level menus, and we’re not having any serious problems. It is exactly what we needed. We are using it with WP 3.0 beta 2.

In reply to: Visual Editor (TinyMCE) not showing up on 2.9.2 (Linux)PS: Now, even after the problem is found, and all is working fine, this page:
[WP Site] /wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_config.php
Still does not exist. Must have been applicable to an older version.

In reply to: Visual Editor (TinyMCE) not showing up on 2.9.2 (Linux)FOUND THE PROBLEM! FIXED IT!
Thanks for your help.
Here was the issue.
One of the plugins, called WP Secure, placed an .htaccess file into the wp-includes folder.
That file’s settings were preventing certain files from being accessed, and thus both the visual editor on the post page, and the Gears option (Turbo), were being blocked.
As soon as I deleted the .htaccess file, the problem went away.
Ideally, I would like to have both proper security, and not lose core functionality. I simply don’t know enough about how to edit an .htaccess file to get anywhere with that.
Thanks again for your help!

In reply to: Visual Editor (TinyMCE) not showing up on 2.9.2 (Linux)ESMI:
Did you retain the folder structure?
I retained the folder structure. I pasted it all up via FTP at a single motion. I took note of the file count to make sure all files made it onto the Linux server.
Have you tried:
– switching to the default theme to rule out any theme-specific problems?
It’s a new install and I’ve never left the default theme yet.
– resetting the plugins folder by FTP or phpMyAdmin? Sometimes, an apparently inactive plugin can still cause problems.
I can try deleting all the plugins. Will try that next.
– re-uploading the wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress?
I refreshed the whole install via the auto-upgrade feature. If the above plugin delete does not fix things, I will move to manually deleting and replacing wp-admin and wp-includes folders from a fresh download of WordPress
– increasing your available memory?
I am on a hosted Linux server on GoDaddy.com, and I have several WP installs working great on the same hosting and this has never been a problem. I don’t know how to increase my available memory in this scenario, and I am not sure I am allowed to do so.
Thanks for your tips. I will report back! ??

In reply to: Visual Editor (TinyMCE) not showing up on 2.9.2 (Linux)I found this page with info that indicates I should have a js page at:
[your site]/wp-includes/js/tinymce/tiny_mce_config.php
It says that page should display as text if I browse to that URL.
I get “Error 404 – Not Found” if I try that, and I also cannot find such a file inside my WP files using FTP, and I also cannot find it in the original Zip file of WP 2.9.2
Anyone know anything that could shed some light on this? Thanks!

In reply to: Visual Editor (TinyMCE) not showing up on 2.9.2 (Linux)I have done the following with no luck:
1. Disabled all plugins.
2. Used the auto-upgrade feature to reinstall 2.9.2.
3. Deleted the browser cache for this site (I use the latest Firefox)Also, perhaps not coincidentally, I just now tried to turn on Gears (Turbo), and I get an error that pertains to tinymce/plugins/…
Here is the full error message:
Turbo: Gears Status
Gears is installed and enabled on this computer. You can disable it from your browser’s Tools menu.
If there are any errors try disabling Gears, reloading the page, and re-enabling Gears.
Local storage status: Error: Download of ‘https://wvupci.com/wp-includes/js/tinymce/plugins/fullscreen/fullscreen.htm?ver=327-1235’ failed, status code 404.
