    Chad,

    Thanks, but I have that already and it still doesn’t work, here is one of my short codes: [catlist id=251 numberposts=80 orderby=title order=asc pagination=yes instance=1]

    Am I missing something here? I notice many times this question has been asked and never answered, so I thank for your response. It’s sad, everything else on this works great. Thanks, Rolando

    Such a great plugin, but sadly no one can answer this question, thus making a useless plugin for many that have asked the same. ??

    I’m having the same problem. So what do we put in the folder named “list-category-posts” under ‘wp-content/themes/your-theme-folder’? Do we just create an empty folder? If so, what are the read/write permissions? Thanks!

    DivaVocals,

    Thanks for the explanation. I’m no programmer or coder, I get by ?? Funny how this only happened to one site, obviously something is conflicting. I’ve been buttoning down the hatches with everything I know because there are tons of bots running around trying to login as “admin” and of the 11 sites I manage, they’re constantly getting hit–so I set the login attempts to two tries, two times locked out for 1440 hours ?? It’s working. It’s a crazy hackers world out there and any layer of protection is better than none. So far all 11 sites are using Theme My Login perfectly. I wish you the best, rg.

    Personally I was recommended this plugin by Bullet Proof Security, as I use their plugin plus also use Limit Login Attempts. I installed it in 11 websites yesterday, and all work well. I’ve been adding extra security as their is a rash of automated scripts trying to break into people’s WP installations.

    What I’m gathering, for those that experience “admin” lockouts, first of all, you should never have your /yourdomain.com/wp-admin or wp-login.php where your default username is “admin.” You’re asking for trouble if you do. If you do a search, you can find out how to change that if you have it set up that way. I’ll give you an example, a specific IP address tries to login, get’s locked out, especially if you use “Limit Login Attempts” plugin, then you install this beautiful plug-in, and you will immediately be locked out.

    If this happens, always use two browsers when adding plugins, i.e., Google Chrome and Firefox, keep both open in admin. After installing a plugin, do not activate until you open your other browser to your plugins in admin, then activate the plugin in one browser, test it, if it doesn’t work, delete it from the other browser–or you can FTP and delete it if you prefer one browser.

    So bottom line, if you add Jeff’s beautiful plugin, make sure you reset your “Limit Login Attempts” so you don’t get locked out if you have blocked people of the LLA plugin. I also found out you can run both, I have both turned on, both with different settings.

    Of note, I also renamed my “login” page this plugin creates, plus renamed the URL when editing in page edit mode, i.e., instead of yourdomain.com/login it’s something like yourdomain.com/come-on-in/ or whatever you prefer. I also renamed, not deleted, so if I need it later it’s there, the wp-login.php file to something like wp-login.phpSaveForEmergencies

    So now I have several layers of protection. If a hacker goes to mydomain.com/wp-login.php they get page not found. If they go to mydomain.com/wp-admin obviously they are redirected, but that might mean they will have to work harder as I have a weird name for my login/logout page. If they break in past Limit Login Attempts, they have to break in past Theme My Login page security. Not to mention I have installed Bullet Proof Pro so that adds a steal front door to begin with. You might also look at SpamTrawler too, it’s not a WP plugin and it’s installed in your server root directory, but it protects WP, Socialengine, Vbulletin, etc., anything on your site from spammers, but you can also block countries out too!

    Every bit of protection helps and this plugin is just one layer, but the more layers you have, the better off you arre–and that’s layers on your server and your WP installation, not just WP. Just my thoughts and I bought my products and am not employed by products mentioned here. Thanks!

    Yes please do share, as I noticed that the next day, though, when I refreshed, it resets. I’m the only poster on it for now, but will be adding one or two more people, however, I run an automated script for my Amazon affiliate, that’s what I noticed the next day, the posts it does. So please explain, which files and what to do, step by step I’d prefer ?? as I’m no coder, but I can do changes as I do all my websites and am trained by the school of hard knocks ?? Thanks!

    Thanks, yes, I saw that single quote after I posted, thanks!

    I appreciate it, though I’m not a coder, I spent hours figuring it out and came up with this:

    <?php if ( is_home() or is_front_page() ) :
    global $query_string;
    query_posts( $query_string . "&cat=4'" );
     ?>

    Not sure if it’s right. For the future though, please take “non-coders” into consideration, as when you say “use a query post” that’s like me telling you to set your camera white-balance at 3700K and unless you’re a photographer and author like I am, you probably may not know how to do that on your camera. Again, I really appreciate your quickness and help. For the record, I have it in place here: https://www.quotethequotes.com still working on it ?? Thanks!

    Everything installs just fine on my WP site using the latest version of WP in multisite mode. I only have one blog on it as I don’t allow users blogs, running Buddypress, latest version. Problem I’m having is when I try to initially generate the first site map, it gets to a blank page.

    I’ve checked permissions, created the right sitemap directory with initial (writable) sitemap.xml and sitemap.xml.gz files and it appears to have overwritten the files, but in the plugin admin panel it says still need to generate first sitemap. In debug mode I see this error: Warning: htmlspecialchars() expects parameter 1 to be string, array given in /var/www/vhosts/mydomain.com/httpdocs/wp-content/plugins/google-xml-sitemaps-with-multisite-support/sitemap-ui.php on line 124

    Any help is greatly appreciated as the professional support link on the plugin home page comes back to this forum. Thanks, rg

    I had this same issue when I moved my blog from /blog/ directory to the main root as I switched from WP 3.0 to multi-site. I downloaded the delete revision plugin mentioned above, https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/delete-revision/ which I might add is not only nice and easy to use, but deleted almost 500 unecessary revision files and also does a beautiful database check (always back up your data base first, then export a copy of your site through “tools” in the admin section.

    I then re-uploaded the entire wp-includes directory, but still had the same problem. So then I re-uploaded only the “tinymce” directory, then it all worked well again. Bottom line, I think you have to FTP the tinymce folder by itself as something gets lost if you do the entire wp-includes directory at once. That’s my belief as it all works well now at https://www.lensdiaries.com Thanks, rg.
