In reply to: Forgot password e-mail not directing anywhereAre you using a network install of WordPress?
Are you using a SSL certificate?
Are you using any plugins that might override the default WordPress actions for resetting a password? (you can test this by disabling all of your plugins and testing to see if the problem still exists, if it goes away, then one of your plugins is causing the issue)

In reply to: ERROR: Empty CAPTCHAAre you using any plugins that provide a CAPTCHA services? There are a lot of different anti-spam plugins that use CAPTCHAs to try to detect spammers.
As best as I can tell from the code for the Coraline theme there are no captcha functions being loaded.
If you cannot easily identify the plugin causing the issue, I would recommend disabling all of the plugins on your site, see if the issue still occurs. If it does not, re-enable your plugins one at a time until you cannot post a comment. When that happens, you’ll know which plugin is at fault and you can either disable it permanently, ensure that it is up-to-date and does not require an API key or something similar, or you can post to the support forum for that specific plugin to get help with resolving the issue.

In reply to: Facebook plugin not workingThere are several Facebook plugins, which one are you using?
You may recieve a lot better help by posting your issue to the support page for the specific plugin that you’re using.
For example, if you were using Simple Facebook Connect, you could find it’s support pages here: https://www.ads-software.com/support/plugin/simple-facebook-connect and there are also FAQ pages which may contain instructions that resolve your issue.

In reply to: GP Library – Install???You can see all the extentions that PHP is loading by creating a php file on the server with only the following code
<?php phpinfo();
This should also list the location of the php.ini file that php is loading from.

In reply to: Remove RSS SubscribeRSS is a built in feature of WordPress. If your theme is providing a link to the RSS feed, you can edit the theme to remove the link. Some themes provide widgets to display this type of information, so you may check around under Appearance > Widgets to see if there is anything there that might allow you to adjust that setting.
If you want to make the RSS feeds unaccessible by anyone at all (different than removing the display link) you can use a plugin like this one: https://www.ads-software.com/plugins/disable-feeds/ which will remove the ability for anyone to access the feeds on your site.

In reply to: Nothing updates on siteDoes your host have any caching enabled? Are you making changes to a local copy instead of the remote copy? (I have made this mistake a lot!)
Did turning off plugins make any changes to the front end of the site?

In reply to: GP Library – Install???This page explains how to install and load various php extensions under windows: https://php.net/manual/en/install.windows.extensions.php if I understand it correctly, you just need to make sure the extention file is in the right directory and php will find it from there.

In reply to: I need to remove a code that is messing up my site!There are a lot of places that this code could be coming from. A plugin could be loading it, your theme could be loading it or it could be hard coded into your theme code.
You can disable your plugins to see if that removes it. If it does, you can figure out which one is responsible by re-enabling them one at a time.
Otherwise you will most likely find the jquery being loaded in the functions.php file or header.php file of your theme. Based on the age of the version of Jquery that you’re loading I would wager that is is being loaded by your theme.
Hope that helps.

In reply to: ads misplaced after upgradeMost likely your theme’s css is broken in some way. Try running your code through the w3c validators and resolving issues they highlight to see if that will help.

In reply to: Question about post summaries on front pageThere are no built-in functions for this. You could use a custom shortcode and wrap content you want hidden from excerpts like:
[Fullpostonly]some text here[/fullpostonly]
https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Shortcode_API should help get you started in that direction.

In reply to: Difficulties with featured images (thumbnails)Interesting. I do see a minor error in the code you pasted, but not sure that would cause your issue.
><a>" rel="bookmark"
Should read:
><a rel="bookmark"
Are you certain that single.php is the template in use?
Also is it possible that you have a function in functions.php that overrides something, or a plugin somewhere?Last thought, how did you declare support for the thumbnails in your theme?
never mind, I found the hooks.
for those who find this via Google, here’s the relevant hooks:
add_filter('sfc_register_fields' add_action('sfc_register_request'
this would be a great feature for BuddyPress users…
