Thanks,

Did the above and it does show the author’s name as a link but when clicked on, only takes me back to the index page.

Is there something missing in the href=”” (between the “)? And BTW, I copied the author template in my theme’s folder.

Gene

Thanks for the answer. It looks and performs just the way I wanted:

Pages
– Home
– About
– Contact

So, it’s only a static page which redirects the user to the index page by using the HTML URL code in the subject line.

Cheers,
Gene

Thanks, downloaded it and will give it a try.

Presentation -> Widgets -> drag a Text widget in your sidebar -> click on the box in the widget -> a text box will appear -> input title and text -> click Save Changes.

Or if you want something more elaborate, search the plugins database.

Gene

If your wp-content directory is still writable, fix that.

chmod 755.

That’s one of the first things I would be doing. Ive argued against plugins and settings that require that for three years.

OK, just did that, thanks.

Will the 755 permissions interfere with the plugins?

Gene

I agree with pinkgarden, although I found the config in the Manage section, I inputted some sample text and saved it but it doesn’t show in the registration panel. Also, the “agree” statement isn’t in English, even though it could be changed in the php file.

Who the heck gave this plugin positive ratings? I wish there were negative ratings as well (- 5 stars).

I hope the author can fix this or remove it from the plugin database.

Gene

Thanks, you’re a great mentor and I really appreciate your help.

The htaccess file in my public_html folder doesn’t deny IPs so I assume that the hierarchy works.

And yes, it does make sense.

Thanks again,
Gene

To understand the “mechanics” behind this, I do have a htaccess file in my public_html folder, would the one in my blog sub-folder “override” the first one even though the WP one only contains a list of “deny from XX.XX.XX.XXX” or would the system recognize the two?

Thanks,
Gene

Seems that WP doesn’t have a htaccess file, would the blog root directory be the better place to upload it?

Thanks
Gene

Great, thanks whooami! Didn’t want to foul up my htaccess file.

Gene

Problem solved, only had to insert the <?php comments_template(); ?> function in my single.php file.

Other thread wih solution

Thanks
Gene

OK, took a chance and looked at both single (which didn’t have the function) and inserted it. It now works great.

You may see it here, in the About page

Thanks again!
Gene

Thanks LenK,

So, if I get you correctly, all I need to do is insert (or modify) <?php comments_template(); ?> in the theme’s page.php?

Cheers,
Gene

All right, works well in the WP classic theme. I like the simple looks of it and was wondering if I could make it into a fixed width (800px) page.

Comments on pages are useful for a few things; personal ads, comments and/or on a particular subject (in a page, not a post), etc.

Is there code which can be inserted in any theme which would allow for comments?

Cheers,
Gene

OK, I’ll switch themes and keep you posted.

Strange that this being the default theme, a user could access all the bells and whistles.

Thanks,
Gene
