Thanks to everyone for your replies. I’m now using Bad Behavior instead of WP-Spam Free and it’s working great. The other problem I had with WP-SpamFree is that it prevented me from including several URLs in my responses to people’s comments. I often need to do that, since my blog is scientific in nature.

Thanks.

kalamazookid,

What did you find out in your provider search? I have 1and1 and they’ve been pretty terrible. My blog always loads so slowly, and this morning it’s completely down again.

Recommendations?

Thanks.

Here’s an example: it is considered good practice from all of the articles I’ve read on taxonomy to assign no more than 2-4 categories to a post. However, if the subject of that post includes concepts that are also categories that I choose not to use for that post, and I use those concepts as tags, then I end up having categories as tags. Bad new.

I guess one problem I’m seeing is that when I enter a tag (with lowercase) that has the same name as a category (with mixed uppercase and lowercase), it automatically gets converted to the category name. Again, I’d really like to keep categories and tags separate. Is it possible?

Unfortunately, that plugin wasn’t right for me.

I’m still having trouble getting DD Sitemap and Google XML Sitemap to play nice together. Any ideas?

Also, I’d like to set it up so that the popularity rankings don’t appear on pages. Can anyone help?

THANK YOU! I spent hours trying to figure out what I was doing wrong, and I just discovered this thread. Andy’s solutions worked perfectly.

Thank you so much. This plugin is fantastic!

Thanks for your reply, TrishaM. Actually, this is the full contents of my sidebar.php file:

<div id="sidebar" class="secondary">

	<?php th_sidebar(); // The magical sidebar hook ?>

	<?php $wp_the_query->current_post--; setup_postdata($wp_query->next_post()); // Reset post data for comments ?>

</div>

I do not see the line of code that you mention above anywhere in the file.

I believe this is because the Tarski theme has a hook for the sidebar. In the “Tarski Options” configuration panel in Admin>Settings, there is a menu where I can choose to enable Widgets, the Tarski sidebar, or my own sidebar.php file. Perhaps this explains why the code you mention is missing?

Thanks. I’ll check it out.

Anyone?

Thanks!

Thank you both – that’s exactly what I was looking for!

LenK,

Thanks for pointing that out. I’m still a novice with all of this, and on somewhat of a crash course here.

I changed the reference in “loop.php” and that worked. However, my question now is whether there’s some way of automatically inserting the <–more!–> code at the end of every post automatically so that the reader can click through to the full post?

Thanks.
