I have un-installed the plugin now anyway as it was taking away any email contacts I could have made…

I just don’t understand why you would have access to my contacts and I don’t????

oh dear.. looks like I might be stuck with them in disarray then hmm. we need a side bar sorter plugin making by some clever someone ??

Its strange really because unlimited sidebars are a feature ( I think of genesis???) so perhaps I’ll contact them and ask if they can help.
Im sure I’m not alone in needing this to happen.

Many thanks for your help guys

Karen

well thats all very well Ron but I would have to delete them all and start again to do that wouldn’t I?

I have 40 sidebars each been added over time. And now they need organizing somehow alphabetically. Cannot drag and drop as I’ve mentioned.

I can rename them and keep the origianl ID but they still don’t arrange themselves alphabetically.

I think maybe there is a plugin that would do this or some other way. Drag and drop would be perfect!
Actually as its genesis sidebars maybe I should be asking them ??

I have limited the number of characters but this option doesnt seem to have worked for me??? Any ideas why? As you can see a few bios are still very long

All in all this has promise to be great plugin.

I do have other questions but I will start another thread so as not to confuse things ??

I tried to find the author but he has a very low and inactive profile on the web ( something to always check in future) .
Anyway
I managed to delete the plugin via my ftp panel …wp-content… plugins… then delete the plugin.
its done the trick unless I fid some horrible little probs with files later on hmm

LESSON LEARNED.. dont add plugins unless they are properly supported byt he author/developer

I get the same problem Rhiannon. Looks like you didnt get a reply though so not sure what to do next.

Did you find out how to do it by any chance?

I have same issue and cannot resolve it.
if a member is an “Author” then It doesnt disable the “publish” button.

If I change the user role to “Contributor” then the publish button is “submit for review”.. which is exactly what I require (ie they cannot publish). HOWEVER .. the media functions (upload image) are disabled in contributor EVEN THOUGH THEY ARE UNCHECKED.

The complete ideal solution I need is contributors can upload images but NOT publish the posts.

many thanks
Karen

I have now removed the pop up to my site and taken the route of adding a link to privacy and cookies via my main menu.
Many thanks

i think what we have got to understand is that these are humans that sit all day long spamming. They paste rubbish into the text areas and I am going ot say that even thought thier email address looks false it will be a real email address. IF you have set your contact forms or email with an auto response ie SORRY OUT OF OFFICE TILL MONDAY then they have got your real email address and this can then be sold onto mailing lists.

I think this is the only reason they do it… they must be able to collect thusands of auto responding email addresses like this and I feel there is little we can do about it

The spam was coming from each of my forms 1,2,3, so I presume they can get through easily no matter which form they are using. I have taken some rather drastic action and totally blocked Thailand from emailing … the IP address is always the same, but keeps changing at the end of it ( last 3 numbers).. sorry if there is anyone in Thailand who wishes to contact me genuinely but they will have to find me on twitter or g+ ….

these are the emails I keep receiving indicating they are most definitely coming through the contact form PLEASE DO NOT CLICK OR ATTEMPT TO VISIT ANY DOMAIN BECAUSE THIS IS SPAM AND THERFORE COULD BE DANGEROUS ( I have broken the link so they do not get a backlink from here)

What do you mean by put in dummy information please?
My spam has started about two weeks ago and building up from one a day to 4 or 5 now
They must be auto bots that can read the captcha maybe???

where do I find the attatchment.php file..
still not got any more answers for this problem.. it’s a mystery???

Hi maidul
Thanks for replying.

I think I must have an author php file because all of the authors for posts do have correct profiles and not error 404 as you can see here

(I am sorry for outlinking but its the only way I can explain it properly)

The problem seems to be linked somehow to the media gallery or my own admin profile maybe?
