RoamFree

This is nagware.
The www.ads-software.com plugin description and the plugin’s home site does not mention that the free versions have messages linked to the plugin’s site.

To get rid of the links to the site’s home page, you have to buy an upgrade to the plugin.

Hmm.. I was somehow confused about the description behavior. The description is always appearing, no matter where the mouse is. There is a configuration option someplace that implied that mouseover was necessary.

The skin descriptions don’t mention which ones have the PhotoGalleryCreator.com advertising. We can’t tell whether any free nor purchased ones will have it (without accurate descriptions, we can’t be sure what the purchased skins will do).

Found the problem. The “default” site had a definition for the top-level directory /var/www which had “AllowOverride None”.

As I said above, changing the Permalink structure to default does allow the page to be visible. I can see the .htaccess file is being altered, so WordPress does have write access to the file.

Hmm. When I am viewing the default URL of the page, change the Permalink structure, and then refresh the page with the default URL — the URL changes to the permalink URL of the page and I get the 404. WP is seeing the request and redirecting to the permalink URL. I am seeing an error in the Apache error log that the 404 happened on https://localhost/kitchen/about

Apache2 does have mod_rewrite configured and the module is loaded in the Apache server.

“AllowOverride All” is in all of the directories in the kitchen server site configuration file.

So by default any user on any site has read access to all sites in their Network, and can comment on any site. Can read access to a site be restricted to only users registered in that site?

So usernames are reserved across all participants of a network, but the users only have privileges within the one site where they were defined? The “super admin user” has access to all sites.

Never mind. Yoast changed his plugin, and as a side effect all posts are now showing up. All OK.

Oh, never mind. I thought it was working, but it isn’t. How do we make it recognize HTML tags? I’ve only been able to make it recognize an alphabetic word.

Either I messed that up or it got filtered. Trying again.

Replace
<br>
with
 

And I have a correction… WP has a function which is already being used elsewhere in the code to clean up incoming strings. This seems to be what is needed:

$title2 = $wpdb->escape($title);

And then replace $title in the following line with $title2.

amplifiedshock: Which fix: str_replace() or mysql_real_escape_string()?

I’m running with mysql_real_escape_string() and two titles yesterday had colons without a duplicate problem.

Are the titles identical, or is there a subtle difference, such as spaces or what is at the end of the title?

This shows that SQL injection is possible, and the plugin is probably vulnerable in other places. Maybe a better choice if you’re using MySQL:

$title2 = mysql_real_escape_string($title);

There is a Help link in the Rewrite section which expands into a summary of how to use it.

Note: there is a Weaver widget on a page, which does allow a page to be hidden on the “primary menu”. Should this plugin have an option to do this globally, which is needed for themes which don’t offer this ability?
