  • To modify the <h1> element inside of your <div class=”headerleft”>, you can add the following code at the bottom of your current style.css file…

    .headerleft h1{
font-weight: bold;
font-size: 12px;
font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;
color: #ff0000;
}

    … then modify the code as desired:

    • ‘font-weight: normal;’ will remove the bolding
    • ‘font-size:’ can be changed to any any desired number – the bigger the number, the larger the font
    • ‘font-family:’ can be a list of any web safe fonts in order of preference
    • ‘color:’ can be set to whatever hex color value you like as well.

    Re-install WordPress, then add the following line inside your template’s <body> tags:

    <!-- wpscanner -->

    Once that’s done, run the web-based BlogSecurify scanner at https://www.blogsecurify.com/ , and post any security warnings (WITHOUT the address/URL to your blog) it gives you back in this thread so we can make suggestions.

    After running the BlogSecurify scanner, MAKE SURE you remove the <!– wpscanner –> line from your template , as this will prevent others from running the scanner on your site and obtaining any vulnerability information.

    You might also consider installing the WordPress Security Scan plug-in, which will tell you what permissions should be set on several crucial WordPress files.

    If you’re not familiar with setting write permissions, download the Filezilla FTP client and use it to correctly set the file permissions on your site.

    Hope we can help you out! ??

    Well, I’ve found something of a solution:

    By enabling the ‘NextGen Gallery Widget,’ I can plug this PHP code directly into the template to show a specific number of the most recent images:

    <?php nggDisplayRecentImages(numberofpictures,width,height); ?>

    Unfortunately, I’ll have to do a little code modification to make it link to the images as I’d like – It would, however, be nice to see a “By date” sorting method added into the album/gallery shortcode.

    In any case, I genuinely appreciate Alex Rabe and the rest of the NextGen Gallery team creating such a fantastic plug-in – Keep up the excellent work!

    Though .zip files are something of a universal format, there are a few different compression schemes that programs use to make them: Deflate, Deflate64, Store, and BZip2.

    Deflate is the absolute most common, but most web servers will support Deflate, Store, and BZip2, while the Deflate64 scheme is commonly not supported.

    If your client has Windows XP, the built-in “Send To –> Compressed Folder” uses Deflate and will work nicely.

    Mac OS X also has a built in “Create archive of…” feature that utilizes Store and should also work.

    Check with your client to ensure they are using a program which creates standard ‘Deflate’ or ‘Store’ .zip files, such as the built-in system utilities above. Otherwise, recommend they use 7-Zip for Windows, or Springy for Mac OS X.

    If none of the above works, it is possible the file is being somehow modified before it’s uploaded, perhaps by disk encryption, or even a malicious malware/virus running invisibly on their system.

    First and foremost, save the post/page you’re working on and then clear your browser’s cache & cookies. Then re-login to the WordPress site, open your post/page, and try publishing it again.

    Typically, people encounter this issue for one of three reasons:

    1. A caching mechanism, such as WordPress Cache or SuperCache, is serving up the older version of the page you’re trying to update, or…
    2. WordPress has been set up to require someone with higher-up account privilege to approve pages/posts before they will appear on the site, or…
    3. Your account privilege simply isn’t set high enough to allow for publishing.

    In such cases, whoever installed/setup WordPress for you would need purge/clear the WordPress Cache or SuperCache, and/or check that your account has enough privilege to publish posts/pages, especially without need for approval from another user.

    Otherwise, if you’ve been able to publish before without issue, or if you know your account has ‘Administrator’ or ‘Editors’ privileges, there may be a more technical error that the site’s webmaster/administrator will need to personally attend to.

    In any case, if you don’t have access to clear the WordPress Cache/SuperCache, and saving your post/page and then clearing your browser’s cache/cookies doesn’t work, this likely isn’t a problem you’ll be able to solve on your own. ??

    It sounds like you may need either edit your TinyMCE configuration, or even easier, install the TinyMCE Advanced plug-in.

    Once activated, you can customize all the visual editor menus/buttons through an intuitive drag-n-drop interface by navigating to Manage –> TinyMCE Advanced

    If that’s not the solution you were hoping for, reply back – Best of luck!

    The number one reason I believe some of the mods and WP-savvy site admins get a little angsty in the forums? They see the same question(s) asked over and over again every day, sometimes by people who are demanding an answer/resolve rather than kindly requesting assistance.

    I realize the WordPress Forums offer search functionality as well as keyword tagging, and genuinely appreciate both… but honestly, there has got to be a better solution to organizing the chaos, not only to make it easier to isolate issues & location solutions, but also to let the mods/WP-savvy admins keep their sanity and not be scared off by mobs of frustrated neophytes.

    Perhaps the WordPress forums need to be revised to mandate that all trouble-shooting tickets use tags from a static list, as well as contain WP/PHP/MySQL version info and a CSV list of installed plugins, as to better organize & correlate issues as they arise.

    Hopefully others will have some ideas as to how troubleshooting WP issues and logging solutions could be better – It would honestly make the WP community much stronger, and lessen the number of frustrated newcomers and the number of times solutions have to be re-posted for them.

    Just my own $0.02 – and hey, I could be totally off in left field on this one…

    Brilliant! I tweaked the code just a bit, but this was essentially just what I needed…

    <?php
$showgallery = '[gallery=3]';
$showgallery = apply_filters('the_content', $showgallery );
echo $showgallery;
?>

    Thanks for the quick reply, WhisperT – You’re wonderful! ??

    Thanks for the tough love Ivonic.

    I had figured something was demolishing the_content()’s default query and just wasn’t sure how to restore it, but this has me back up & going… and hey, my ego is even back in check. What can I say? You’re fantastic – Thanks tons!

    (@korythewebguy)

    After a lot of reading & monkeying around with code to try figuring things out myself, I’m still rather bewildered by how I can reset the_content() to pull data from the current Page rather than from the Posts retrieved by get_posts()…

    Is this a simple fix, or am I going way beyond the scope of WordPress?

    Again, I can’t say ‘Thanks!’ enough to those who offer any assistance! ??
