Look “openlycreative”, I’ve scanned through your posts to see if I can offer anything, but all I see are messages like:

“This is crap, it doesn’t work. Can no-one help? What a waste of time.”

and when you’re asked to clarify exactly what your problem is, you give nothing but more attitude and moans. How do you expect any support when you’re not actually willing to provide information on what’s not working – examples of behaviour, error messages, version numbers, environment, etc.?

Don’t just bitch about stuff, ASK politely and when people try to help, be polite, answer their questions and maybe someone WILL be able to help you.

Also, if someone points you at links for paid support, you just go silent. If you’re not willing to mention your specific problems in public, pay and speak privately to someone.

If you’re not willing or capable of doing that, head off to Drupal, or whatever else you think is so much better and stop being a whiny child on here.

Get the “Maintenance Mode” plugin. It allows you (and currently logged in users) to see it fine, but anyone else trying to look at the site will get a “Sorry, working on it, back in an hour” type of message.

So why not get the API key for Akismet..? its free.. All you have to do is register when it says “Get your key here” or whatever it is in the Akismet options page.

And the thing you’re thinking of is Captcha where you enter a word before you can submit. Its built in to various antispam plugins. Like “Peter’s Custom Anti-Spam” amongst others.

Well, I have it installed on 2.3.1 and its working perfectly for me. You tried uploading the files again? Just in case something got corrupted on upload.

You mean like:

that appears at the bottom of every post? Erm, it does…or am I missing something about your request?

Well, I just clicked on it and it worked perfectly.

Permalinks aren’t directories. They have nothing to do with directories. They’re just the way that WP uses to find the post in the database.

I would say that its something in your install that’s clashing ‘cos cforms works for me and always has and I’ve just installed another one that uses the same syntax that works too.

Go to urbangiraffe.com and look at the Search Regex plugin. It should do exactly what you want.

No problem. Its one of my freaky talents…my brain may be mush, but its logical…

Instead of taking that kind of attitude, you could always do a search for “turn off autoformat” and see what you get. There are various plugins to do it, including one I’ve updated that you can find on my site.

It lets you turn off the autoformatting for either the whole site, or page by page as you choose.

Look for “textcontrol.zip” in https://bytor.co.uk/library and see if that helps…

Yep, the way you’ve done it originally, an AND is the way to go.

If its not page 8 and its not page 6 then show stuff.

If you really want to use an OR, use the method you’ve got already…

If its not (page 6 or page 8) then do the code, so either:

<?php if ( !( is_page(8) || is_page(6) ) ) { ?>

or this

<?php if ( ( !is_page(8) ) && ( !is_page(6) ) ) { ?>

should both work as equivalents…AND do what you’re looking for.

The answer is that your logic is broken… The answer will always be true so your code will always run…

If its page 6 or 8, then one of the !is_page(xx) is true, so the result is true.

If its any other page e.g. 7, then both parts are true, so the result is true.

If my brain’s working right, you want an AND instead.

It does work in 2.3 – I’m using it on my site just now.

Are you using the latest version? What other plugins (sounds like a plugin clash with something else)?

And it was going so well. 4.3 worked perfectly. Now 4.4 is doing the same thing again…no visible error beyond the fact that the side notes don’t show up at all.

No-one?

So no-one is interested in finding out how much memory their site is using/wasting? That’s a surprise.
