Thanks, but I have managed to add photos and galleries before:
https://www.officialstation.com/category/gallery

That’s why I thought it was so strange that it didn’t work this time.

I’m using WP 2.8.4 and I haven’t uploaded any photos before since upgrading – not sure if there is a bug in 2.8.4.

Subscribe to Comments is probably what you are looking for:

Alright, it looks like the photos were uploaded properly even though I got multiple login screens.

Well, it was very strange to see these WP login screens and maybe it’s something to take a look at.

OK, the problem seems to be bigger than I thought.

I was testing the search a bit more, typed in some words that I know are in posts (both published and drafts) and no matter what I typed in it always returned “No posts found”.

So it looks like the post search engine doesn’t work at all.

Check your wp-blog-header.php file (it’s in the root of your WP install) – the hacker might have inserted some links there.

Also, make sure you have the latest version of WordPress – you say you have version 2.0.11 which is definitely not the latest version (even though you posted this 2 months ago). Version 2.0.X is vulnerable. If you have additional WordPress blogs on your server you should also update them as well.

OK, maybe I should have updated this – the thumbnails only linked to https://www.example.com/?attachment_id=635 when I was in preview mode – looking at a preview of the post. But once I had published the post the links to thumbnails followed the same permalink structure as blog posts.

OK, my bad… I just verified (on another computer) and comments on protected posts are indeed protected in the comments RSS feed – it says “Protected Comments: Please enter your password to view comments.”.

But I can still see the name of the person that left the comment – so that’s kind of a “security breach” ??

@figaro: OK, thank you. I’m not storing anything super secret but I think it would be nice if all contents of a protected post would be indeed protected.

I also noticed that comments on protected posts are not at all protected – you can see them in the comments RSS feed.

OK, in the most recent version of WordPress (2.7) photo comments appear on the dashboard under Recent Comments which is good but they still don’t appear in the comments RSS feed.

Does anybody know if they’re working on fixing this in 2.8/2.9?

OK, I checked the wp_comments table and it looks like comments on photos appear there – I don’t understand why they aren’t in the RSS feed for comments.

Do you guys know if there is an easy hack to grab all comments from wp_comments (including photo comments) and create an RSS feed for them?

Is this the right place to submit this kind of a feature request (to have photo comments in the comment RSS feed)? Or should I submit a ticket over at trac.www.ads-software.com ?

Another thing, in the album view would it be possible to show the number of comments a photo has gotten? Like [3] below a thumbnail if that photo has gotten 3 comments.

Cheers.

Yeah, I definitely hope they’ll improve the media library over time… that’s kind of why I chose the WP media library to handle my photo albums – because I’ve seen how much WordPress improves regularly.

They might also want to look at having better support for posts with a lot of photos (100+). I’ve noticed that when I’m uploading 100 and more photos to put into one album I get a script warning (“script not responding” or something) from jQuery when I’m in the media library.

Do you know if I could (easily) add photo comments to my comment RSS feed – or create a new RSS feed just for photo comments?

I haven’t checked it out, but do you know if photo comments are written in the same database table as other comments?

Yeah, I tried the orderby property but when you click on a thumbnail to view the photo the order is not the same as in the “album view” – you can’t really use the previous/next thumbnail links.

When I’ve inserted a gallery into a post the thumbnails link to something like this: https://www.example.com/?attachment_id=635

Is that normal?
How can I make permalinks for photos more readable (like on ma.tt)
Permalinks for my blog posts are following this custom structure: /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%

Thanks! That’s it – I don’t have the image.php file in my theme because I made it myself a couple of years ago when that wasn’t in the default theme.

Thanks for the links – very helpful. I should be able to figure it out now…
