In reply to: Suggestions on creating a site which displays different menus@deepbevel – cool stuff. I will look into that if I don’t find the answer haxxxton mentioned.
@haxxxton – That site’s menu style wasn’t what I had in mind, but I like it a lot and definitely could use that. So superfish or listamatic2 would be the direction to investigate to get those menus then? It would be implemented on OptimizePress.
Thanks guys. I really appreciate the help.

In reply to: Suggestions on creating a site which displays different menusNot been successful in toying with it and searching online. Anyone have any ideas?
Should I just install multiple installs of WordPress in each directory and then is there a plugin where I can do a multiple WordPress install combined search?
Thanks

In reply to: Someone hacked my site, how do I find this file?Thank you, esmi for your reply.
I actually have a lot of experience with WordPress security and have secured many blogs and helped people with cleaning their hacked sites.
However, I’m not a programmer. I was just curious about the
<?php wp_footer(); ?>
code in the footer file as that obviously is not a file which means if I can learn where that function call is located (or function is, rather), I can try and delete the eval/base64 code.Thanks

In reply to: Can I put one link on homepage but not all pages?I’m just trying to link to my brother’s Landscape website from my blog to help give it a push – FYI

In reply to: Can I put one link on homepage but not all pages?@mattyrasker – Not the navigational bar, just somewhere on the homepage, like in the footer, but without being distributed over all posts and pages.
@esmi – The homepage is the most recent 10 or so blog posts.
Thanks for the help everyone.

In reply to: Can I put one link on homepage but not all pages?Because it would be a better link coming from the homepage, that’s all really. The home page has a PR3 and the other pages N/A or 0.

In reply to: How can I track a zip file download?Thanks for the reply.
The plugin looks promising but it’s not recording any downloads. I tried testing it several times and it keeps showing 0.
Perhaps I’ll look for a different one.
Thanks again.

In reply to: My WordPress site got hacked.If it appears to be in your theme then why not try doing this…
- Note all the plugins you use.
- Save any custom work you’ve done to your theme (which widgets you are using, code inside text widgets, menu customization, etc.)
- Don’t forget to note your Akismet Api
- Download a backup of your database
- Put your site in maintenance mode
- Create a new directory on your hosting (like /blogbackup) and move all your blog’s files over there (just as an extra back up)
- So now your blog’s directory should be empty
- Install a new version of WordPress in your normal blog’s directory
- Copy over your wp-config.php file from the /blogbackup directory and change the SALT values
- Download a new version/copy of your Theme, install it, set your Widgets back up
- Download fresh versions of your plugins and edit their settings to the way you like them
- Paste in your Akismet API key
- See if your site appears to be normal again
- Take your site out of maintenance mode
- Learn how to secure WordPress a little better
- Never use unsecured FTP
Install the WordPress Firewall 2 plugin
Install the WordPress File Monitor pluginGood luck ??

In reply to: I'm looking for a plugin that can track clicks….Yeah but that’s not tracking clicks, right? In that example wouldn’t I have to set up a web page which includes the Google Analytics code in the header file so that I can track how many times that page has been visited?
The ebook would actually be a zip file download. Zip files and pdfs usually don’t show up in the main GA area, just web pages which are visited are.
