If having permalinks are not essential for you (besides making sure you’re indexed by Google) you may want to drop them altogether.

After having some problems with permalinks (specific to our windows based install) I removed them to see how Google would deal with it. All our pages are indexed by Google, so it doesn’t seem to care about permalinks. I may put them back in later, but so far not having them hasn’t been a problem.

I second you on that. Would love to be able to have users who can post only drafts (not publish) but be able to upload images.

Would you mind sharing your patch?

Definitely worth it, themes is a major improvement, loving it!
Only bug is with the login, but it doesn’t seem to affect everyone, it was also in 1.2 and it’s easy to work around it.

Same here. I am running the Feb 5 nightly. Just yesterday I had 3 different test users (all on Mac’s, using IE, FireFox and Safari) that never even went to the site before and they had the same login problem.

Right now the only solution we’ve found is after trying to login and getting the blank screen we go to the /wordpress/wp-admin url (from a bookmark), the admin pages then show up, so it’s clear the login itself actually works and that apparently it’s the redirect that’s the problem.

If it’s a cookie problem it should be easy to clear up the cookies on the first visit no?

WP is amazing, but I don’t understand why it’s taking so long to fix the login. Login is the most basic function no?

Thank you.

I’ve been using the curioso pictpress plugin:

works very well on wp 1.5.

Yngwin, wouldn’t it be simpler to just check that the theme/templates you are using are valid XHTML? Usually there isn’t that much going into a post that could break validity no?

It would be cool if the wordpress dev ran a poll to see which new features are the most requested.

I tried several other blog software packages before settling on WP (the best by far), and was running MT for a long time before switching, so I am missing a few MT features that I found useful. But I am curious to see what other WP users would like to see added in the future.

Not sure about this, but a log analyzer should be able to tell how many times the rss feed is being pulled no? the only problem I think would be with news feed aggregators, to count these you would have to check the referrer in the log file to know how many people come from each aggregator…

could it be because my images are not in the standard wp-content folder? They are in my main wordpress dir /images (wordpress/images/)

Hey Joe, thanks. I hope you can find a fix for ff, because it doesn’t seem to work at all in IE on Mac OS X, so it’s not usable for any Mac browser/user ??

I checked again the paths for config.php in ibrowser. I have them set correctly as far as I can tell, line 21 I have the web site main url (with a trailing slash, i.e. https://site.com/), line 45 the blog dir + image directory path (wordpress/images/)
I am still getting relative paths when inserting images, weird. Testing with both FF and IE6 on Win2k. Anything else I should check in the configs?

Using FF we’re also seeing some major problems, it seems after posting a picture in a post sometimes the post content gets wiped out, the weird part is the wisiwyg windows still displays the pic & text but when I hit save, and reopen the post editing page it’s all gone, the post will just contain one or two br tags.

Same on Mac OS X and Win2k, so it looks like FF specific.
We’re also getting the same line break problems mentioned above with FF.

Another problem, when posting pics, it uses a relative path to set the img src url, the url is correct for viewing the pic from an admin page, but not from the live blog page. I had to replace all img src url’s with absolute paths.

For now I had to go back to htmlarea unfortunately, but I’ll do some more testing later to see if I can give you more useful info…

Ok, thanks. I agree, I also much prefer the stability of TinyMCE, I can always resize & rotate before uploading. Hopefully they’ll add it some time soon.

Another question: does the TinyMCE engine allow resize/rotate/crop of images? Any ideas on how else to implement it if not?
htmlarea has these functions but the interface to browse pics was really bad.

Thanks.

Cool, that solves the two issues I had.
Great plugin! Thanks for your work and quick reply.

Testing your plugin on wp 1.5 it’s working great so far. Much better indeed!

Couple of issues:
– it only shows up when editing an existing post (or draft) but not when starting a new post
– how does it decide what level users are required for upload? I had to set level 8 before a user could upload images, but our wp install is set to allow level 3 users.

Testing on Firefox on OS X and win2k, and ie 6 on win2k.
Safari on OS X does not seem to work.

I had a similar spacing problem, not exactly the same though so I’m not sure this will work for you. I added a <div class="clear">&nbsp;</div> after the closing post div tag and before the next div tag. It gets rid of any inheritance between the div’s.
