I don’t know if it’s related but I also seem to have hit a maximum size threshold for a post–anything over a certain point invariably returns a total blank… good thing I’ve taken to cut’n’pasting all my content before ever hitting save or publish, but damn is that ever unreliable.

*nudge*

Great idea. Like many admins I know my userbase has absolutely zero interest in registering and logging in to submit content even when they stand to benefit. The admin panel is too jarringly different from the rest of the site for me to even allow such a thing, and it wasn’t designed with customization in mind, as the front-end is. This plugin provides a bit of a fix for this tricky situation…

I think it has a new URL too:
https://thedeadone.net/software/tdo-mini-forms-wordpress-plugin/

OK, how about something not specifically WordPress-related? Maybe a general blogging forum with enough critical mass and an international focus exists?

I had totally forgotten, but it looks like I used the Better Feed plugin (chosen for how easily it is to customize):

As you can see, there are many handy options to mess with.

Well I can’t imagine going to the trouble of threatening legal action with some web site… in the end I decided I would simply spice up my feed a bit, throw down a copyright statement, a link back to my site, the post itself, and a fancy little “comments” link… here, for example, is the latest piece of content thieved from my feed:
https://www.roostmusic.com/News/october-rust-breitseite-ep/

All things considered, I get the SEO juice, a bit of promotion, and at least it’s clear where the content originates… I guess that’s about the best I can do, and hey, it’s not like I have to put any work into fending off the inevitable splog assaults as my content production continues…

From what I know of common implementations some readers still use the description field expecting full entry.

Currently I have modified my RSS2 feed to drop full content in both description and content:encoded… good/bad idea?

Mind-boggling.

I lost a few good posts to this bug, whatever it was… haven’t seen it since last week though. I suspect it may be session dependent so uh, flush your cache and log into your site again? That’s just a wild guess.

Am I crazy, or is your copyright only as strong as you are willing to enforce it? In the age of RSS feeds it almost seems pointless to try and torch these bastards.

Anyhow, I looked into the plugins built for this problem, and I don’t know… I think I’m just going to track what IPs access my site shortly after I make a post and try to catch ’em red-handed and simply block the IP server-side. Stupid question, but is the IP of a splogging site likely to change much over time?

Don’t you just love little “features” like this that creep up on you unaware… it’s not like anyone is going to tell me my links in the category descriptions have suddenly been neutered. Grr ??

Cool, thanks everyone… I will look into one of these solutions. My problem right now is that this splogger has no contact info available anywhere, and none of the obvious addresses attached to the domain return anything. I was thinking of making a nasty little post about the site but then again, it’s like free promotion for them… which is something I’d rather avoid ??

One more stab at this and then I let it fall to the bottom again ?? *stab*

Thanks… additionally, does anyone know anything in the way of an actual web forum of some kind?

Download WP and cut the necessary code out of the relevant theme… hooks are for plugins (not what you are trying to do here).
