Right. My confusion stems from the fact that weblog_ping implements the https://www.xmlrpc.com/weblogsCom XML-RPC protocol. I understand how it works, and weblog_ping sends two parms, which I pick up correctly. But it does not send the permalink and post title. So are they sent separately? The reply above seems to say that they are sent separately in an HTTP Post.

Thanx! Where can I find a description of the datastructure used? I am picking up the two parms that come via the weblog_ping function, or at least I assume that it comes from there. But I am not seeing the other two parms, i.e. permalink and Post Title.

Thanx guys, perfect, that was it. You just saved me hours of trouble-shooting !!!!

Yes, but if I delete a comment field, do I also need to delete any entries in any other rows in any other tables? I.e. is there any risk that I destroy the referential integrity of the DB?

Thanx! I realize that others have already written hacks for this and I have looked at their code. I am just trying to understand the original code.

I enter a spam message in a comment field and my filter stops it in the wp-comments-post.php file before it can be inserted in the DB. Then a few minutes later a real spammer inserts the identical message 40 times, passing right thru my spam filter. So he is doesn’t seem to be executing my code which demonstrably stops any comment with the word ‘holdem’. I am just mystified. But if the only DB insert happens in the wp-comments-post.php file then I should be able to stop him.

This is very odd. When I do that , i.e. press ctrl+f5 in the popup I see my new text flash by for a fraction of a second and then the original text comes back.

The bug is definitely in the wp-layout.css. I am not yet sure where.

OK, in what file do I start my debugging? The only two things I have recently changed is the wp-layout.css and the template. Does the template correspond to a file? It seems to be the first half of the index.php file(?)
Is the first post treated differently from the others in any way?

Whao, you guys are good! That was it. Thanx a whole lot!

You’re right, thanx, and thanx for super-fast support!

Thanx. What do I do if I want to ping blog aggregators not on Ping-O-Matic’s list? As far as I can tell Ping-O-Matic has a fixed list of aggregators it pings. The aggregators I want to ping are not on that list.
