In reply to: 2.0 Performance Problems?I have not yet noticed speed problems except when trying to upload an oversized image. There used to be a “make thumbnail choice” and I didn’t see that this time. Other than that I am okay so far. Could it be a ping issue on posts?

In reply to: URGENT/Source Flaw: Uppercase class-IXR missingthank you I found two places I had to make the change … I think that fixed it so I can post

Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: static front pages in 2.0I have not. Perhaps I shall do so and see what happens. Good idea, I guess if it doesn’t work I can uninstall a plug-in.

In reply to: WP 2.0 feedbackForum: Alpha/Beta/RC
In reply to: Current Version or Last Version?The odd thing was that I had joined that list in the past. In fact when 1.2 came out I got an email … but not since. Wonder what happened …
So the conclusion is that 2.0 is an improvement, but 2.0.1 is soon to follow?

In reply to: WP 2.0 feedbackThank you for your reply. I did find that list of plug-in compatability for 2.0. Now I cannot find it, however. I am coming to this page: http://codex.wordpress.org/Plugins that talks about plug-in’s being available for 1.2 and up. (Given that 1.2 had security vulnerabilities, shouldn’t every mention of 1.2 urge people to see a security warning?) Anyway, I am looking for it again. I’ll eventually find it. I am noticing that search appears to be giving essentially bad results. Try searching for your username for example. You will find instances of when you had a post on the front page … but of course you aren’t there anymore because someone else posted. Anyway, great software, but working through the upgrades.

In reply to: WP 2.0 feedbackI am reading the main site … it gives no clue when 2.0 was finally released. It seems there may be several significant issues at present. I am trying to decide if now is the time to update?
I must say that I find the new layout of the wordpress site confusing and that it doesn’t give me enough information to make solid choices.
What about plug-ins? Comment spam was a huge problem. Do Spam Karma 2 or Bad Behaviors yet work with the new 2.0? Are they built in? Where is the new feature listing for 2.0. I know RTFM, but I have spent some time looking around and this is very confusing to be honest.
Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Fighting Comment SpamSolid suggestion it appears! Both installed easily as straight plug-in’s and both appear as though they may work. Time will tell.
I had one problem with sk2 however. When I first dumped it into WP plugins, it had a link saying that you needed a correctly working language tag. I clicked on that link and think I may have closed my browser by mistake or something. That link is gone. I am no wizard on language tags. I found “US” and “en” do I then combine those two tags? It was talking about putting a .mo file on the server. That whole piece went away. I missed something. Thanks again for leading me in the right direction.

In reply to: Changing colorsfind this line and change it:
a:visited {color: #xxxxxx; text-decoration: none;}obviously pick a color for the xxxxxx and it will correct the problem.
It is here in the default file you are using:
/* Begin Typography & Colors */
body {
font-size: 62.5%; /* Resets 1em to 10px */
font-family: ‘Lucida Grande’, Verdana, Arial, Sans-Serif;
background-color: #666666;
color: #333;
text-align: center;
}a {color: #931414; text-decoration:none;}
a:visited {color: #0066cc; text-decoration: none;}
***a:hover {color: #931414; text-decoration:underline;}***
a:active {color: #931414; text-decoration:underline;}Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: <!–more–>it doesn’t work if you are looking at that post, but it does if you are on the main or category page
are you sure you weren’t on that post?

In reply to: Problems setting up wp-config.php / Step 2Obviously you need to open that file in your plain text editor (I prefer notetab from http://notetab.com — there is a free light version), make your changes to the config file and save it under the name wp-config.php, then upload it as ascii using your file manager or ftp program.

In reply to: Trackback ProblemMaybe we are all confused as to what a trackback vs a pingback is … because we read the documentation 🙂
Says: For more information about Trackbacks see Trackback explained. (Which doesn’t exist yet.)
Compare that to: http://wordpress.org/docs/reference/post/#pingback
That tells you what the thing does, but not to what effect. Perhaps it is time to further develop those areas a bit, especially for people just getting into it.I have not fiddled with trackbacks much, but I am trying figure out the real value of using them. Obviously you may discover some common discussion. I understand it may help in search optimization. But what I don’t get is why I am getting slammed with trackbacks when I don’t show them on my site. I presume it must be an automated process to submit them because they would otherwise realize it is doing them no good. They don’t have a link to my blog on their site and I don’t have one to them. I do get their emails … is that the point? I am deciding now whether to upgrade to 1.5 or give it a week or two more for the shakeout. I am still running 1.2.2 on most of my sites.

In reply to: Can’t turn off moderation of commentsSame issue on our site. We are using the method that presents an image of a random code and they have to enter it into a form field to post to avoid spam. I don’t know if something about that could be causeing the problem. But others are using different methods. I suspect it is a WP bug myself. This is annoying so it would be nice to find the solution.
