Sorry, embedding seems not allowed, and the two sample URLs are:

https://www.fmueller.com/images/cropping-problem-ie.jpg

Thanks for the explanation regarding the font issue. I can live with that, and will probably make the font a bit bigger to make it look perfect in FF. Not so worried about IE ??

Regarding the cropping, the bottom right corner of all images in missing of all slideshow images when the site is viewed using FF:

Viewed with IE

Viewed with FF – note the missing bottom, right corner of the image.

Thanks – indeed, it seems to be a browser issue. fmueller.com looks fine in IE and Opera, but not so good in Firefox. Especially the fact that images in the slideshow appear cropped in Firefox is vexing. I think I recently upgraded to the latest version of Firefox (3.0.8). Maybe there is a compatibility issue?

Have you tried this widget?

Sorry, can’t help, but just wanted to say that this is an awesome idea! If you work out how to do it, please post back here. I would love to use this as well!!!

I wonder if you got the tag quite right. This tag in the body of a post:

[slideshow=2,450,280]

will display a slideshow of the gallery with ID number 2 right where the tag is. It will have a width of 450px and a height of 280px.

HTH

That video is awesome – explains it for the dummy, which is exactly the right level for me, LOL!

I was pleased to see I had no overhead – my site isn’t used all that much. Making a database backup following your instructions was a breeze! Many thanks.

As an aside, I moderate an aquarium forum and have been planning to shoot some instructional videos for some time. This experience once again confirms the usefulness of those things. I got to get onto that!

Greetings

Ah – I forgot to update all the files in the root directory! Not quite done yet with the upgrade, and right now the site looks like a dog’s breakfast, but at least the database update worked, which is a big step in the right direction. Many thanks!

How do I do a database backup? I tried to read some instructions, and have looked around the codex, but I still don’t quite get it. I thought if I ftp everything off the server, it would have to be in there, no?

Frank

figaro – many thanks for the quick response!

The way I did the backup is to ftp everything on the server into a directory on my home computer. Hope that’s what I was supposed to do!

What I forgot to mention in my initial post is that I deactivated all plugins before I started with the upgrade. I am using the default theme anyhow.

Then, you should delete ALL of your old source code except for your custom stuff in wp-content (themes, plugins, and upload directory).

Not 100% sure what you mean by that. I am using only the default theme with customizations mostly in the images, so I didn’t replace those. I also have some customizations in sidebar.php, page.php (to enable comments)and stylesheet.css. I didn’t replace those either. Everything else has been replaced. I don’t use uploads.

Not sure what to do…

That did it! Many thanks. In case anybody else of experiencing the same problem, the code that needs to be inserted in page.php is:

<?php comments_template(); ?>

I am using the default theme.

I don’t have posts, only pages. On each and every page ‘allow comments’ is enabled. The whole thing is a bit of a mystery to me, especially since I am also running another site (www.fmueller.com) and there comments work just fine.

Frank

Many thanks – I checked there and ‘allow people to post comments on the article’ is enabled. So that doesn’t seem to be the problem. What else could it be?

Thanks! I just installed the Google Analytics plugin. One can never have too much data ??

You can use an exclude argument in the page list in your sidebar.php.

The code would look something like this:

<?php wp_list_pages('exclude=33&title_li=' ); ?>

This assumes that 33 is the page ID of the main page of your category, but of course you have to use whatever the real page ID of that page is.

In the latest version of WordPress it’s a bit tricky to find out the page ID of a given page. The way I do it is open the page in Firefox and hover with the mouth over ‘Edit this entry’. If you do this, you can see the page ID in the status bar at the bottom of your browser window.
