In reply to: Image Popup Plugin?Hmmm. Works fine for me on 1.2.x, but (even using the beta version), the user interface bit doesn’t appear on 1.5. Plugin doesn’t seem to be completely dead as the function code appears in the template…
No errors displayed….

In reply to: Corrupted wp-admin fileThis post might help.
In brief, you’ll need to fix the value for siteurl in your database using PHPMyAdmin or your choice of database tool, and probably modify wp-login.php to stop WordPress trying to be helpful by changing it back.
Admin – is it possible to make a link to this solution “sticky” – variations of it seem to be biting a lot of people.

In reply to: Bug ruins layout.That looks suspiciously similar to the siteurl issue that’s quite popular at present:

In reply to: jeremiah’s weather pluginHave you checked for whitespace in the plugin file? Specifically trailing spaces after the closing
?>
That does seem to be the most common cause of the “headers already sent” error. This FAQ article might be relevant.
I have the plugin working on my site and I haven’t had that issuse….

In reply to: Anyone check their blogs with IE 5?Saw mine in IE5.5/Win recently[1]. Looked a complete mess, but as I was updating the computer in question and getting as decent a version of IE as exists[2], I wasn’t really concerned.
Given that IE updates are more about system security than about rendering improvements, I have this vague idea that older versions of IE should not be catered for in layouts – if it looks broken, the answer is to update. If anyone has IE5, they likely have bigger problems than some pages looking messy.
[1] Previous version of the layout, but the current one isn’t much different
[2] Insert standard rant about IE here[3]
[3] It’s the indirect cause of much of the hassle in my job[4]

In reply to: Auto Shutoff Comments ProblemI’m using WpBlacklist to deal with the Phentermine idiot, but to answer your question, copy everything from the opening
<php
to the closing tag and paste it into your preferred text editor. Save it as a new .php file, then upload to your plugins folder. It should then be available to activate….Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: How to report spammers?There seems to be an epidemic…
I’ve been getting hundreds of spam attempts from 65.75.175.30.
WP-Blacklist is zapping them all quite nicely, so it’s merely an irritation, apart from the fact that some of the URLs are malformed, which caused Blacklist to make entries in the db that generated errors when posting legitimate comments (comment gets posted, but poster sees screen full of PHP errors). Cause turned out to be trailing backslashes at the end of the URLs. Quick edit in the db and all fixed…Forum: Plugins

In reply to: Valid XHTML ProblemA link to the site might help someone give a more helpful response.
But what often happens is that a *single* error (often an unclosed tag) can make the rest of the page throw up more errors.
Nothing wrong with using Dreamweaver – just use the “Code” mode to check for broken XHTML rather than entirely relying on the “Design” mode.
The site might look as intended in IE, but the invalid code might cause problems in other browsers, so it’s probably worth making the effort.

In reply to: I Want Michael’s Menu!Take a look at Listamatic – lots of examples of how to style lists/menus.
You can either take one of the examples as is, or use it as a basis for your own design….Forum: Your WordPress
In reply to: Losing it[1]: moved from MT to WPWell, having moved my old MT layout to WP, I decided it was time to change the look a bit. The new version is now live. I’ve moved most of the remaining static pages into the weblog to reduce the workoad next time I change the design (it’s only a matter of time…)
Now here’s an interesting thing – since I moved to WP, I seem to be making a lot more posts, and more longer posts especially. I think it’s the more pleasant interface encouraging me to do that……..Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: IE CSS oddnessThe class “post” is most definitely defined in the CSS. In mine, anyway, which is the only one relevant to this particular problem. There is a further class “post” defined in the context of the menu div:
#menu .post { whatever }Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: IE CSS oddnessIn the words of Microsoft, “that behaviour is by design”. The menu div contains a number of divs which do have the class post. Nothing odd about that at all, if you look at the CSS. And as the current design uses the same kind of structure without signs of borkage, I really can’t see that being the cause of the problem. Also, the fact that a standards-compliant browser has no trouble with the page suggests that the issue is with IE’s rendering, doesn’t it?
