Anyone figure this out? I’m having the same problem at my site grrrrr ??

By the way, I’ll be removing that beta site soon, in case anyone finds this post in the distant future.

I think I solved it!

I added the following attributes to the CSS of that div:

#right_side {
position: absolute; top: 232px;
padding-left: 0px;
margin-left: 797px;
width: 200px;
vertical-align: top;
}


Now it appears to work just as I want it to in IE and Firefox! Woo who! ??

I guess I can keep the CSS in. It’s just that the css references graphics on the site, so when I try to capture the site with IE or Firefox or even some of the offline browsers, it skips the graphics in the css file. I’ll have to download those manually.

Didn’t quite work. It still wants to maintain the CSS. ??

FYI, Brian Groce, the author of the plugin was kind enough to provide an answer. It worked for me!

This should bypass ita€|

In maillist/index.php (the signup page)a€|

Find this line:
$query = a€?insert into $email_tablename (email_addr,date_subscribed) values (a€?$addra€?,now())”;

And change it to:
$query = a€?insert into $email_tablename (email_addr,date_subscribed,gets_mail) values (a€?$addra€?,now(),a€?1a€2)”;

Ia€?ve not tested it, but that should do it. And of course there are other tweaks youa€?ll probably want to make.

Is there a way to change the plugin so that people do not have to confirm their subscription? Believe it or not, a number of people have subscribed to my BLOG but then IGNORED the confirmation email. They just dona€?t read it all the way through and dona€?t realize they have to click the link.

I suppose these are the people whose VCRa€?s blink 12:00. ??

But still I want to accommodate them. Any way to remove the confirmation step and just sign them up when they post their email?

Thanks!

I figured it out!

in the wp-includes/template-functions-general.php file:

Where it says <table id="wp-calendar"> I changed it to <table id="wp-calendar" style="color: #FFFFFF">.

Also, in order for the hyperlinks to be that color as well, add style="color: #FFFFFF" as shown in the following lines:

echo "ntt".'<td abbr="' . $month[zeroise($previous->month, 2)] . '" colspan="3" id="prev"><a style="color: #FFFFFF" href="' . NOTE: this line appears twice

echo '<a style="color: #FFFFFF" href="' . get_day_link($thisyear, $thismonth, $day) . "\" title=\"$ak_titles_for_day[$day]\">$day</a>";

The css didn’t work because I disabled css.

I know, I know, I should not have done that, but I never learned how css worked, so I disabled it so that I could have greater control over how my pages look. Perhaps I’m paying for that now.

Anyhow, I’m sure I can add <font color="#FFFFFF"> in the right place in the wp-includes/template-functions-general.php file. I just don’t know where.

I emailed the author and he says it should only email notifications for posts, not comments. Perhaps someone can think of a hack that would send out notifications for BOTH comments and posts??? hint hint.

I’m afraid I’m not a php developer. ??

I just installed it like it says. I’d love for email notifications to go out for BOTH new posts and new comments.

I want to get email on comments, but I can’t figure out how to make that happen. What do I have to do to get emails for comments as well as new posts? Thanks!!!

You’re right! The user doesn’t have to login every time. Okay, I’m satisfied. ??
I had thought the user had to login every time!
How long does the cookie last until? Any way to make it never expire so that they never have to login again?

I do have cookies enabled and yet it still sends them to the profile page.
I agree that I installed a hack to only allow registered users to post. This was because the first day I had my test blog up (test blog – noone knew about this blog but me) I got a TON of spam comments!
I thought that requiring a login was a good way to prevent spam bots from posting.
I don’t want to give my users level 2 access because I don’t want them to be able to post new topics. I only want them to comment on existing ones.

I think I should explain again what I am trying to do.
I have a BLOG that I only want my wife and I to be able to post new topics to. I’ve figured this part out.
All other registered users can only comment on pre-existing topics. This also is currently working.
The problem I have is that when a user logs in, they are automatically redirected to the “Edit Profile” page. This is undesireable.
I want them to be put back on the BLOG page when they login.
Any suggestions on how to get them to be redirected to the BLOG and NOT to the “Profile Edit” page?
Cypher suggested this:
Modify the file wp-login.php. Look for “case: ‘login'” and before function login() add the line:
$redirect_to= get_settings(‘siteurl’);
This will return the users to your main blog page.
But I couldn’t figure out what he meant.
