Found it!

Thesis > custom > custom.css

I commented out this around line 940:

/*.my_custom .menu { display: none; }*/

Now the main top menu is visible but the Admin Menu Bar still does not show on those pages.

So I commented out the following and the Admin Menu Bar is now visible:

/*.my_custom #footer { display: none; }*/

So, now here is my question… How do I do this in Thesis Admin instead of commenting out the custom.css file?

Update: I’ve systematically gone through and deactivated/reactivated all the plugins with no change to the body tag. So is my_custom something that Thesis adds to the body tag? If so, how to remove it?

You need to put the wpTextResizeControls(0) or wpTextResizeControls(1) inside php brackets for it to show the controls.

<?php wpTextResizeControls(0)?>

However, I wanted mine in the header of the child theme I am developing and even though the controls were visible they did not work when clicked. I didn’t try it in any other locations.

I’m getting an error also when trying to add my first Google Alert feed to FeedWordPress. Here is the feed url that I’m using: https://www.google.com/reader/view/?hl=en#stream/user/05924742678110826076/state/com.google/alerts/3737151145300156967

I apologize for not being more specific… It is IE8 with XP. I think if you are looking at the site in Win7 and IE8 it does work.

I just moved to Win7 from XP less than 2 weeks ago and before I moved I noticed the problem when I was in XP and IE8. Now that I am on Win7 I have installed Windows XP Mode and Virtual PC on top of it and I can replicate the problem there also. I can also boot into my old XP system and replicate the problem there.

Thank you for replying, even belated ??

The link no longer works because we have taken the site live. You can now find it at https://winslowkitchenstudio.com/ The video is at the top of the right sidebar. As I said, it works in IE9 but not in IE8.

And now I’m going to show my ignorance…

I’ve never heard “bootstrapping” used in this manner and even though I’ve tried to research what it means, I have not come up with a satisfactory answer. Could you please explain what the term “bootstrapping” means, especially in regards to WordPress?

MrGamma,

Wow… Thank you for taking the time to reply in such depth! I think I’m understanding better how the parts relate and interact with each other.

The original reason I was looking at restricting access to wp-config is my business partner attended a webinar on WP security after the WooThemes issue arose. They gave out a pdf of quite a long list of security measures to put in place to avert breaches… The one I mention above is one of them. I’m not taking everything written in the pdf at face value, I’m doing research on them before implementing… thus my question.

Based on your answer, adding the above code to .htaccess will stop access through Apache but it only works to thwart one type of attack. Good to know ??

Thank you again for your help. And for your answer to my Q2… I’ll check into that further.

opps… The title of this should read:

“Will protecting wp-config with .htaccess block plugin activation?”

Pretty site! Clear and bright.

Auto Excerpt worked fine in the one client site I needed it for but I did find that the “testimonials” category excerpts are shorter than the other category page… weird.

The striping of the formatting didn’t bother me as I CSS override everything anyway, i.e., my css file loads after everything else in the head.

If I find any other solution, I’ll be sure to post here.

After a long night of searching… I found the answer to this. Believe it or not, it was a filter tag in the CSS that made IE8 and IE9 totally freeze! So much for IE9 anti-freezing claims.

So, if you are having this problem… check your css for elements with a “filter” attribute.

I created a site with child theme of Twenty Ten and created two blog pages that query the database for a particular category. This category code is the only difference between the two pages that crash IE9 and the other pages that are straight WP Pages. There is no standard blog page on the site.

<?php query_posts(‘cat=33&showposts=’.get_option(‘posts_per_page’));
get_template_part( ‘loop’, ‘page’ );
?>
`
development install: https://winslowkitchenstudio.com/site/

The two pages are “Blog” and “Industry News” that are crashing. I also have a “Blog Test” menu item where I am testing solutions.

I tired putting the site in IE8 emulation with a meta tag but that didn’t work either:

<meta http-equiv="X-UA-Compatible" content="IE=EmulateIE8" >

We are supposed to launch tomorrow and I’m just stumped! Any help would be greatly apprecaited!

Hey, try this plugin: Auto Excerpt everywhere

Just what it says. Very little to configure. Does what I was looking for.

I too have worked through joakimstockman suggestions and tried a number of configurations but the summary is not working on the “home” page. I’m not getting any errors though. If anyone can come up with a solution that works in 3.3 please let us all know!
