That is not really the point… I can go find some plugins on my own. The point was the default wordpress settings for comments do not work.

The comment spam bots access the comment scripts directly.

I want to know why this problem has been around forever and wordpress has yet to fixed it. It is flat out broken if I have it checked someone need to be logged in to comment and bot/people can still comment not logged. I shouldn’t need to go get a third party plugin, wordpress should fix it or take the options which do not work out.

what happed to your site it says coming soon?

Did you A. delete the Beta folder or B. move the scripts that were in the Beta folder

You have errors, take a look at all these. Some of this stuff is pointing to your beta folder

I’m getting a javascript error from jd.gallery_1_2_4_4.js “JonDesign’s SmoothGallery v2.1beta1.” at line 177.

Tohocasu my code will not work as you are using some javascript to open and close your dropdown items

Andrew is right and your submenu links are showing, they are just in the wrong place.

Try something link this in the css

#navcontainer #nav li {
position:relative;
}
#navcontainer #nav li #sub-menu {
position:absolute;
top:39px;
left:0px;
display:none;
}
#navcontainer #nav li:hover #sub-menu {
display:block;
}

A few quick questions
1. Did you move all the files from old server to the new server?
2. Did you make a new database and import over the tables?
3. Did you change the site url
4. Did you change the wp-config.php on either site.
5. Is old site still working

Well I was just asking if they matched, not to make them match, I hope you saved or have the information of the new site config file. As you will need to point to that database.

First step I would take is login into phpmyadmin for the old site and export your database, make your export/dump can drop and create tables, I believe it is a check box option in phpmyadmin when exporting a database. Then login into you wordpress on your old site and change the site url to the new url. And now repeat the export the database step. Keep the first one as a back up. Open the second with a text editor and do a find and replace for https://www.olddomain.com and replace it with https://www.newdomain.com

Then login to the phpmyadmin for the new site and copy all text for the second exported file and drop it in to the textarea under the sql tap and hit go. Then in your wp-config file on the new site add all the correct information to the new database.

check the wp-config file on both sites, do they match?

So you have two databases? You say you created the database and go through the install.

I don’t think that fixed all your problems, as the code I show up there and the images on the home page are not the same size.

Yeah your right, yeah my brain wasn’t working that night… to late.

It looks like exclude_admin only works if the admin’s login user name is admin. Is the admin’s name admin?

And by defualt “exclude_admin” is set to 1 which is true meaning it excludes the admin. You are setting it to 0 with make the statement false so it will not exclude the admin.
