I believe I have gotten it sorted out thanks to your help. And it turns out wordpress-support WAS on the server; I was logging in to an old FTP user with an old installation that wasn’t auto-deleted when I switched ownership to a new user.

The wordpress-support folder does not exist on the server, and I don’t have it either of my old back-ups.

Thanks… is there any way to also change the calendar header?

I guess what I need to know is where links_list and get_calendar are defined

thanks

Alternatively, I tried to add a MyPolls.net poll to my blog:
https://www.sydlexia.com/news

But it is not working right. Specifically, the Vote button is absent. Is there anyway I can define tags for my own use so it works? The poll code is right here:

Thanks, that worked great. I played around with it a little bit and it appears that src in the only subtag that you *need* to define. Of course, the others obviously won’t work if you don’t define them….

many thanks

I think I figured it out. I moved the code above into a new .htaccess file that I placed into my images folder and deleted it from the .htaccess file in the root directory. Then I created a new folder with images that I don’t mind people linking. It seems to be working.

Thank you all for your help. I have fixed the thing that was bugging me most… I even was able to mod that script so that the input field are gone and you are forced to use your username as your post name. ??
My only other issue is with modding the way comments appear.
What file do I need to go into to do that? I don’t think it’s the main CSS file.
I want do three things to the comments:
1. Add borders and little more space between them.
2. Get rid of the numbers
3. Make it so that in the comment, when it says Posted by (NAME), Name appears as a hyperlink to the user_email.
I would also like if I could make my name be a mailto link in the main posts.

I got it to work. ??
How do I display the $comment_author string on the page? Whenever I try, I just get the actual phrase “$comment_author” displayed on the page.

In the *WRONG* place. Because that’s the part that when I take it out, the script works the way it originally did. The instructions aren’t clear enough on where I’m suppose to c&p that first part in.
Is it within the tag?
Is it right after the tag?
Is within the first tag after it says “start editing here”?
Is it right after that tag?

I’m having trouble getting https://www.ads-software.com/support/10/7663 to work. I don’t think I’m putting the first part in the right place.

Thanks. In response to my 2nd request, does that mean there’s also no way to force a user to use their username as their posting name? It irks me a lot that people are on the honor system with that.

This is my post… sorry. I just registered and I thought it autologged me in. Apparently not.
