Pat

Thanks.

Never mind. I had added a code to prevent hotlinking of my images in my .htaccess file. That was blocking display of my images within my dashboard.

The code was – RewriteRule \.(gif|jpg|jpeg)$ - [forbidden]

Thanks.

I manually upgraded via FTP and it worked fine. The plugin upgrade that was receiving a similar message also got resolved. I’m not sure what was causing the problem.

I’m getting the following msg and nothing seems to be happening:

Downloading update from https://www.ads-software.com/wordpress-2.9.1.zip.

Unpacking the update.

The status bar at the bottom says, Done. But I don’t see any activity or any error message.

Same here. Took me a while to trace it to AsideShop but disabling it fixed my blog.

Thanks. I don’t have root access to the server so I’ve forwarded your message to my hosting provider.

UPDATE: Unfortunately, since I host my blog on a shared-server. I can’t make the changes. I got the following message from the tech support guys:

I am sorry but we cannot change the server configurations as we maintain a standard prep across all our shared hosting servers. Custom modules can be implemented only on dedicated server solutions

BTW I use Total Choice Hosting for my hosting needs.

Wouldn’t this work as well?

Hi Arne,

Unfortunately, the sitemap on my blog gets rebuilt even when adding or deleting a comment. This is significantly increasing the time needed to post a comment. Can we somehow exclude comments? I don’t mind the delay while publishing or editing a post.

You mean the Spam Karma and Akismet plugins? I am sure, if I do that it will work but then I might be exposing my blog to tons of spam which thanks to these two I don’t see much of right now.

I meant to ask, why would a theme change ‘spank’ comments as spam?
