Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Comments, simply not workingI’m having the same problem. If the checkbox is ticked and there is anything in the Comment Blacklist, all comments get marked as spam. I’ve tested with a long list and a single word without whitespace.
If I uncheck the box then the Comment Blacklist works as advertised.
But I’d rather shut out open and insecure proxies as well.

In reply to: rss images?But web based aggregators aren’t the only type of reader out there. I’d almost go so far as to say the web-based readers are the one’s I’d least like to clutter up with custom images. RSS is supposed to be fast. Adding pretty graphics is counter-intuitive IMHO.

In reply to: Is it possible to remove <li> in links?I’m not sure about the get_links_list() I read it was hardcoded. That actually works quite well for me at https://www.wealthesteem.org/ The menu div headings are all ul tags. That’s close to the default stylesheet.
But have you tried modifying your stylesheet and adding to the correct sections
list-style-type: none;
hint look at the default wp-layout.css and you’ll see
#menu ul ul {
font-variant: normal;
font-weight: normal;
line-height: 100%;
list-style-type: none;
margin: 0;
padding: 0;
text-align: left;

In reply to: Removing the hardcoded monthly-archiveHey Mike
I noticed in the CVS that you put the hardcode monthly back in. How come? or is there somewhere I can monitor the discussion on that?
I am quite happy with whatever the dev-team decides about that, but it’s good to know so newbies are told.Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: newbie needs helpOnce you decide to run b2 or upgrade to wordpress (b2’s “official” successor) you can play around with the layout.css file.
I suggest learning by
1) copying your index.php file to (e.g) learncss.php
2) copying wp-layout.css to (e.g.) learncss.css
3) and change the line in (e.g.) learncss.php that says
@import url( <?php echo $siteurl; ?>/wp-layout.css );
to
@import url( <?php echo $siteurl; ?>/learncss.css );
Now you can experiment with css without breaking your site. Merely fool around with learncss.css and access your site (for testing purposes) by pointing your browser to learncss.php
Note your archives links will still point to index.php?p1 so if you test and click through to index.php you wont be using your test learncss.css anymore.Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: WebringI’ve joined but…
The code includes style=”text-decoration: none;” which
1) is almost invisible on my site
2) overrides my css
3) doesn’t separate content from layout.
so I removed the style declaration. but that’s obviously a violation of the web-ring rules. I guess I could wrap a no-style id around it. hmmm pause to consider.Forum: Plugins

In reply to: Removing the hardcoded monthly-archiveHey allusion,
Isn’t it a bug that the default index.php doesn’t follow the setting in the admin panel?
I’m not trying to be rude, it just seems a bit counter-intuitive. And it seems to catch every newbie.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Removing the hardcoded monthly-archivehmmm
get_archives() worked for me. Is that poor form?

In reply to: Smilies Generate Error in .71 RDF and RSS2 feedYour feed looks fine in FeedDemon 1.0beta5a — the smilies show as ?? ?? and all the rest.
Why would you be using IE to view the RSS feed? It isn’t an aggregator. However my RSS feed https://www.wealthesteem.org/b2rss2.php renders in IE6 (but that’s a pretty useless exercise).
Note I’m using WP 0.72b2 and CVS. What version of WP are you using?
As well as validating your feed as suggested by alexkingorg, try looking at your feed with an online aggregator like https://www.bloglines.com/ or https://www.mywireservice.com/
