You can read more about a) what it does, and b) how to disable it here: https://wordpress.stackexchange.com/questions/5451/what-does-l10n-js-do-in-wordpress-3-1-and-how-do-i-remove-it

“Plugin could not be activated because it generated 152 characters of unexpected output.”

Only upon first activation. After that, the plugin works normally. Even after deactivation/reactivation.

Mine spits out the same warning. Ignore it and try activating again. It’ll load up and works fine from that point on…

Okay, so the problem is in WP and Permalinks.

I have WP installed in /blog/. And through the guide, I’ve moved WP in the root (moving index.php and putting required lines in htaccess and changed WP address and URL accordingly).

So I serve a static front page (main) and then my blog is found at news. I’ve setup Permalinks to use pretty URIs, but that’s the problem. I’ve prefixed them all with:

/news/%postname%/

It works fine, but apparently anything I put immediately after news in the address bar, returns the blog page (e.g., dom.com/news/3000/). Not a 404. So it looks like WP can’t handle a Permalink pointing to the actual page you use to serve your blog (in my case news). If I change the Permalink structure to the following, it works:

/news/%year%/%postname%/
or
/blog/%postname%/
or
/%postname%/

Still trying to understand the extent of it by playing around with different Permalink structures, but it looks like WP needs a bit of tweaking to work in this manner.

This is getting very strange.

Changed themes. Problem persists.
Created new DB. Problem persists.
Removed everything except for required WP entry in htaccess. Problem persists.

My install of WP is not in the root and my home page is not my blog. Could this be a WP bug?

Webstractions,

Thanks for that! But it should be:

add_filter( 'gallery_style', 'my_gallery_style', 99 );

function my_gallery_style() {
    return "<div class='gallery'>";
}

No one else has a problem with this? I lost all my ’09 and ’08 stats. It says 3 spam, one legit for a %100 accuracy? I’m not the best mathematician, but that seems wrong.

Now it listed a perfectly legit comment as spam? I’m looking for alternatives. I’d rather have spam that block my legit readers… meh.

Oh, I should point out that the stats in the Dashboard are correct, and continue to update properly (e.g., Akismet has protected your site from 447 spam comments already, but there’s nothing in your spam queue at the moment.)

Yep, same here. I have one entry from 2007 and then one from 2008. Nothing else… plugin not 2010 compliant? ??

All of the people pumping eighteen sidebars, 9 on each side, you are out to lunch. One sidebar. Read, one sidebar.

I’m sick of blogs that clearly suffer from widget overuse. I don’t need to see the calendar. Nor the time. Nor your tweets. Nor how much spam you blocked. Nor the myriad of other html you feel like regurgitating. I don’t spend hours perusing blogs, memorizing every detail. Frankly, we all like to think we’re that important, but we’re not. And the rise of blogs daily sees quality articles dwindling at an alarming rate.

Keep it clean. Restrict the urge to flood a page without anything remotely irrelevant. I’d like to see the focus back on the actual journalism. While people are no doubt going to abuse the system, or just don’t have anything decent to say, I’d rather give them less power than more.

I’m all for aesthetics, but I’d hate to see a blank slate (which a lot of people misattribute as usable and fresh) or some ridiculous theme that has more sidebars and widgets than actual, real content.
