In reply to: Spam IP’s and blocking…Bad Behaviour and Akismet aren’t really options for me… Akismet, as I understand it, is dependent on another server, which I under no circumstances want my blog to be!
Bad Behaviour is simply to poorly documented. The page says “it does this and this”, but everything in pretty vague terms. I want to know exactly what it does before I implement anything like that on my site. I really don’t care how happy other people are about it, what I want is a guarantee that it doesn’t block legitimate comments. An example: “By logging their entire HTTP requests and comparing them to HTTP requests of legitimate users, it is possible to detect most spambots.” Oh, really? How does a request from a legitimate user look compared to a spambots? Sorry, it’s simply too vague…
The IP-approach, on the other hand, works perfectly for me. My blog is in danish, and I doubt that the average AOL-user has much legitimate reason to post comments in it…Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: .htaccess and exceptions…Mathias, thanks for the run-down. Although it didn’t solve my problem the way I expected it to, it did set me off in a new direction…
So, I have now placed my file in WPs root, and putinclude ("$_SERVER[DOCUMENT_ROOT]/wp-blog-header.php");
in the first line of my code (as I ofcourse needed the theme-layout and sidebar) – and NOW it works like it should!
And before anyone asks: The reason I put it in the root is, that the above included file in itself includes some other files, which would fail if I did not put it in the WP-root…Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: .htaccess and exceptions…What is wrong with them is, that if I make .htaccess writable and let WP write the rules, noone can access anything in my blog – they get a
403 Forbidden

In reply to: bandwidth thievestechwench, how do you set up the redirect to the image? I know it’s in .htaccess, but what to write?
And why email it to him? I would love to see it to! ??Forum: Your WordPress
In reply to: Total redesignAt first glance, I think it looks good. I do have a few suggestions, though.
The white box on the left – try skippeng that, so that the buttons are directly on the dark background, possibly with just a border – I think that would be a little more consistent.
I think you should try fading the images in the six large boxes a little more – some of the text is a little hard to read, specially in the Writing-box.
If you could also get the same amount of space between the large boxes and the menu to the left, it would be perfect. Or maybe it already is, I can’t really judge that because of the white border…
Other than that, I think it looks… Well, the only word I can think of to really describe it is “inviting!” ??Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Edit Permalink StructureOkay, that should be fine… Now, where did you put your .htaccess? And which server-software are you on?

In reply to: theme upload error messageI’m not sure I get this…
You do know that the theme should go in a sub-folder to themes, right?
So if you upload a theme namedNewTheme
, you should probably create a folder namedwp-content/themes/newtheme/
and put the files in that folder.
The above error doesn’t really make sense – it looks like you placed the.php
and.css
themefiles directly inwp-content/themes/

In reply to: mysql, php, and apache HELP!It’s not Apache that is looking for the DLL, PHP is. So you should edit your php.ini and point it to the right location. As I recall, you need to look for a line that starts with
extension=
or something like that…Apollo, your suggestion would not work in this case, as php.ini also specifies where it should look for the modules – per default, that is (AFAIR)
phpmodules

In reply to: Replace tags in posts?Okay, maybe I should elaborate on this…
In mystyle.css
, I have the following line:
.Post { TEXT-INDENT: 1em; }
My loop is then wrapped in a<div class="Post">
. All this to indent the first line of each paragraph.
Now, the problem is, that when i dothe_content(__('[read more...]'))
, It indents the first line of the post only!. This is because the post gets formatted with a<p>
at the beginning, a</p>
at the end, and at the linebreaks, it inserts a<br />
. This is, at least in my head, wrong. It should replace the linebreaks with</p><p>
, as this is more correct (in my head), and it gives some extra options for styling.
I tried replacing the line with<?php str_replace ("", "</p><p>", (the_content(__('[read more...]')))); ?>
, but that line seems to make no difference to the output at all!
Now, can the<br />
tag be replaced with the more correct</p><p>
without hacking the WordPress files themselves? Could this possibly be an idea for a plugin?Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: Translation strings…Got it: I’m going with “Kort titel (for permalink)” (“Short title (for permalink)”). That ought’a do it!
Thanks for all your help, everyone! ??Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Translation strings…And so far I have only been anble to come up with “Kort titel”, which is far from the original – it translates to “Short title”…
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Translation strings…Okay, I get the idea. But how to translate it, without actually give a full explanation?
Hmmm… I’ll have to think about that… ??
