    Yeah, I know about the list of Meta plugins; I was wondering if anyone recommended any of them in particular.

    I just found and fixed the problem with book_reading.css, actually; the script author had the directory to the file as book_reading, when it was supposed to be book-reviews. The next error I’m getting is this:

    A user tried to go to http://www.sassydevil.com/function%20(value)%20%7B%20%20%20%20var%20i;%20%20%20%20for%20(i%20=%200;%20i%20%3C%20this.length;%20i++)%20{%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20if%20(this[i]%20===%20value)%20{%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20return%20true;%20%20%20%20%20%20%20%20}%20%20%20%20}%20%20%20%20return%20false;} and received a 404 (page not found) error. It wasn't their fault, so try fixing it.
            They came from http://www.sassydevil.com/

    I located where this function is, and it’s in my theme’s directory, a javascript file, addEvent.js. The function that’s the subject of the error is as follows:

    Array.prototype.inArray = function (value) {
    	var i;
    	for (i=0; i < this.length; i++) {
    		if (this[i] === value) {
    			return true;
    		}
    	}
    	return false;
    };

    I compared this with another site (an unrelated script), and it looks right, but then again, maybe it’s set some way it shouldn’t be for this script. Any idea how to fix the error? The user, in this case, was me, because I got the error sent to me after I went to my home page. Thanks.

    It’s there. As I said, the links vary; that’s only an example. Other links have nothing to do with the Book Reviews plugin. Some are about function calls, others say users came from pages that don’t exist!

    I had deactivated all the plugins, and then reactivated them, one by one, and didn’t have any problems until I came to Jerome’s Keywords. I removed that entirely, and everything was fine.

    I added a couple of new plugins, and didn’t have any errors, but then they started up again. The new plugins are Google (XML) Sitemaps and sCategory Permalink.

    PROBLEM SOLVED!!!

    I’m posting what solved the problem for me, for anyone else who might experience it. It was, indeed, a plugin. I think I forgot to update the permalink structure the first time I tried going through the plugins, and didn’t discover it. Anyway, the one that caused the problems was Jerome’s Keywords v1.9. I found an edit on a blog (not for the problem I was having, but errors with permalinks, nevertheless), and it didn’t work, so I’ve deleted the plugin entirely. If anyone has this problem in the future, and you don’t have Jerome’s Keywords (if you do, try deactivating it and see if that stops the problem), deactivate all your plugins and reactivate them, one by one, and update the permalink structure after each one. When you find the error, you’ll know which plugin(s) caused the problem. If you find one is a problem, deactivate it, but keep trying the rest, just in case there are others.

    .htaccess is in the main directory of your WordPress installation. You can edit it on the server, or download it, edit it, and upload it (overwriting the old file).

    Or, you can simply make it writable, then rewrite it in WPAdmin. I don’t know what FTP program you’re using, but basically, you select the file, and right-click it, which should bring an option to “Change Permissions” or CHMOD it. Click the option and change the permissions to “666” and that will make it writable. Then, just go to WPAdmin and do your editing, and save it.

    Oh, yeah, and the posts do show up with the correct structure, despite my getting the errors by email.

    I didn’t have it writable, but I made it so, and reset the permalink structure, and it still sent me the errors. I’ve confirmed that my server has the mod_rewrite module installed. I’ve used previous versions of WordPress with this custom structure, so I don’t know why it’s changed now.

    Here’s what’s in my .htaccess file:

    # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    RewriteEngine On
    RewriteBase /
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
    RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
    </IfModule>

    # END WordPress

    I’m not an expert, but my guess is, you need to edit the .css file for the theme you’re using. You need to find the section that colors the comment popup background (in that section, it’ll say “background” or “background-color” with the color code for burgundy assigned to it).

    Can anyone help? I’m still receiving many emails every day (I’d say around 30 a day) about these kinds of errors, even when I haven’t worked on my site, and some of the errors are saying users came from pages that don’t exist!

    At the very least, can someone tell me what’s causing them, if not how to fix them? Thank you.

    That’s a really good point, Root. I have found many themes don’t validate, and often have errors. I know enough to usually be able to fix them, and as far as validation goes, I can usually figure it out, but I tend to be slower than others at getting everything right. It’s not that I don’t want to validate; it’s just that I have so much to do (we’re moving soon, I have research to do, books to read, etc.). But I’m going to attempt to do it.

    I really do appreciate everyone’s comments. And if anyone can tell me about those errors in http://wordpress.org/support/topic/112532?replies=1 –at least what is causing them, because I keep receiving emails about them, even when I haven’t worked on my site–I’d appreciate it. Thank you.

    You’re right. I don’t want it to be necessary to validate it. I have a thousand things to do, and just want to get my site up, with a decent design, and post. There aren’t a whole lot of validation errors, on the bright side, but I couldn’t remember what the reason for validation was.

    Thanks for your reply.

    whoo, I know those aren’t validation issues. I’m just saying I have some errors to fix, and also wonder if I need to worry about validation.

    I know different computers, browser and all that see my site differently, even if it validates. That’s why I wonder if it matters at all.

    Thanks, y’all (and I still welcome more responses)! Love the “code rage” comment…I relate to that, which is why I’m wondering if I should bother, and just accept things as is, other than fixing the errors I keep getting (I wrote about those in another post in the troubleshooting section, but got no responses 🙁 ).

    I don’t know if this will be of use or not, but I recently found out about this link, so I’ll share it with you:
