  • I’m not sure if a CSS-based collapsing menu can be built to execute on one page without a lot of Javascript. If you really want CSS, and are willing to use a flyout menu instead, try searching on Son of Suckerfish. They use a little Javascript to account for the lack of support in IE for hover pseudoclass on anything but a link tag.

    As for where do you edit, that depends on how your theme is built and where on the page you intend to put this menu.

    Check the index.php file for the theme you are using and see if the Comments Template is still called within the loop. you should see a line like:
    <?php comments_template(); ?>
    Your theme may not have included this out of the box, and someone added it.

    Seems to be consistent through your archives also. Are the posts appearing twice in your user panel also, or just in the blog display?

    You can convert a Word document to HTML and use it, but I think this is a very bad idea. Word imposes a HUGE amount of formatting, which can make the file size of a simple web page enormous. You are much better off to save your Word document as plain text, and use CSS to format it. At least consider pasting your text into a page in a good WYSIWYG HTML editor, and formatting with that.

    Older than you I’m afraid (first programming experience on a VAX11). You are right, my tag above should have said border:none;, not text-decoration. My mistake, probably due to advanced age.

    Looks like my post was too late, you already handled it. Best

    I’m guessing Joni’s first name is Joni. Yes, it’s pretty clearly an addition to keep Spam Bots from hammering your comments. This was most likely added by the author of your theme, and it might be best to ask him/her if it can be disabled. To do it yourself, I expect that You would have to edit out the form field in comments.php, and probably disable the code in wp-comments-post.php that handles this field.

    I’m pretty sure I can see your ads with Firefox. Is there any chance that you have security settings cranked up in Firefox?

    Forum: Fixing WordPress
    In reply to: Wrapper or iframe?

    What are you trying to accomplish? iframe was intended to include external content on your page. Some designers use it for organic content because because they can fix the content frame in the first pageload. People like the fixed frame length (I’m told) hence my question. I try to avoid iframe in my designs unless it really is bringing in external content, because Google and other search engines treat iframe content as external content anyway and don’t index it.

    If you are running WordPress on your server, it seems to me that it would be better to link to your forum, and give it a similar brand. Many people will not even kow that they are no longer on your blog.

    I can’t see the blue borders with IE6 or Forefox. But I suspect that your issue comes from all of these images being nested in link tags, which could be providing the blue border. You might try:

    .postcontent a img {
       text-decoration:none;
    }

    and see if that fixes it.

    Very likely this came in on a plugin or template from a questionable source. A plugin could write an executable to wp-content if that dir is write enabled the first time it activated, so it wouldn’t matter if you turned it off later. So it is time to think about what you brought in, and take a close look at that code.

    Also, take a look in wp-content, and check for stuff that shouldn’t be there. if you still have your download of WordPress, check the templates in your default theme to see if the time stamps match on anything you have not modified yourself.

    I know, painful. Best of luck, I hope you find it.

    First, haochi is right, look in your sidebar code between student and Analysis, you’ll see the spare bold:
    <b>

    Each of your paragraphs should be enclosed in paragraph tags:
    `<p> </p>’
    If you do this, and remove the inline styles, then the browser should style the paragraph according to the style sheets provided, which will provide upper and lower margins and appropriate line heights.

    I don’t know what to say about the problems you are having with the editor, or how Safari might affect that. You should not actually need the line breaks at all, the browser should break the lines to fit in the content container.

    I notice that you have installed some conditional comments to detect IE7 and IE6 and supply different style sheets for each. I’m not sure what you were trying to correct with this, but after you get done removing the MsoNormal tags, you might want to take these out to see how your browser does without them. In any event, to keep this from getting out of hand, you probably want to use the conditional commments to re-style only the tags you need, and let the external style sheets do the heavy lifting. Remember styles cascade, so each subsequent styling of a tag overrides the last.

    Best of luck

    I’m not sure how just adding a post could have done this. Did someone logged in as admin make ANY changes at all to your theme files?

    Faster than I am again haochi

    I may not understand what you mean by “turn off”. I guess one way to do it is to create a web page that says “sorry, blog temporarily unavailable” or something like that, and name it index.php. Then go to your ftp client, navigate to the folder of the theme you are using, change index.php in that folder to something else like indexhold.php, and upload your “new” index.php. Be sure you don’t delete your original index.php or write over it, you’ll need it back.
