Installed new version of that plu in and all is well. BTW, I highly recommend this plug in: New User Approve.

I deleted the new-user-approve folder (a plugin) and now the WP is OK. Apparently that plug in is not compatible.

I also would like to capture the IP address of users requesting registration.

That’s for the tip on Spam Nuker, worked great!

no, been lucky so far, have not had much, I have just been deleting.

Would I do better to just delete?

I upgraded the Loop code in my theme’s home.php to the 1.5 code, then inserted the

<?php query_posts(‘cat=ID#’); ?>

just before the loop.

This worked perfectly. Now my blog opens defaulted to my main category.

Thanks very much.

I’ll try it. The theam was brought over from my old 1.2 install.

Thanks

created home.php (moved index.php out of the theme directory just to be sure)

inserted code, now have this:

<h1 id=”header”>“><?php bloginfo(‘name’); ?></h1>

<div id=”content”>
<?php query_posts(‘cat=1’); ?>
<?php if ($posts) : foreach ($posts as $post) : start_wp(); ?>

I see no difference. When you go to my blog, posts from all categories are displayed.

I agree, how do I NOT do it?

I would prefer to default to one category, let the visitor choose other categories if interested.

Well actually, that isn’t an “upload feature”, so i guess I am still looking.

Nevermind, I just discovered the img tag.

Where is the upload feature? I can not find it in 1.5.

I am surprised that WP 1.5 does not already have a built in ability to default to a particular category. Sure looks messy to throw all my posts on the index page.

For now, I don’t think I have the talent to make this happen.

I added additional categories thinking it would be a good thing, but it just makes a mess as it is.

I did that on mine.
