i should add another question, which is; is ping spamming even a concern (can one be permanently banned from pingdom for example)?

also, the reason i’m asking these questions is i’m wondering if WordPress Ping Optimizer is necessary with XML Sitemaps?

the reason i’m a bit worried about ping spamming is that i (too) often edit content and publish, only to make changes a few minutes later

i haven’t actually installed it yet 🙂

from your demo site it looks like the plugin produces w3c valid code – can you confirm?

lastly, i’m not a member of any social networks – what i’m looking for is a solution to allow visitors to share the current page URL/title with on their networks and i’m wondering if this is the right plugin for me?

thanks!

that would be great – thanks

thanks

it appears there may be other problems as well – sometimes i can’t edit a post, where clicking the ‘edit’ link forwards to the root of the plugin support form

also sometimes posts simply do not appear for a period of time with no explanation – may because of moderation, i don’t know, but it can take quite a while for a post to appear

not entirely sure, but i suspect that notifications are failing only when the author replies – i know i have been notified of replies sometimes

still seeing this one…
[21-Feb-2015 11:46:24 UTC] PHP Notice: Undefined offset: 3 in /home/dir/public_html/wp-content/plugins/jssor-slider/front_views/slide_show.php on line 49

i don’t know much about php and this is just a warning, so i don’t know how important it is – i looked at that line and i don’t understand it

no offense, but your answer is exactly the generic answer i was expecting

i’m not asking that WP be all things to all people – i’m requesting that known problems and shortcomings be addressed

who would NOT benefit from…
* image categories/tags to help with sorting and finding media?
* the elimination of invalid gallery styles?
* the addition of ‘0 columns’ in the gallery UI?

would any of these add any bloat to the code?

it is bugs and shortcomings such as these that force users to install sometimes bloated and buggy alternatives that can create headaches for everyone

and how many people have griped about WP removing p and br tags? would removing the code that strips the tags bloat the core? the answer “use the text editor” is not a solution to a problem – it is a workaround to an extremely annoying shortcoming for which yet another plugin is needed, or editing of the filters, both of which SHOULD NOT be necessary – who would gripe if these tags were not stripped, like any other html editor in existence?

if you want to use the text editor, then you should be able to SEE THE CODE

as for broken links, who would gripe about being notified about broken links? a majority, or a (very small) minority?

as for assigning cats to pages, who cares if they are considered by WP to be static? should the guy searching for information on the www be aware whether he is a) searching a WP site and b) if so, whether the content is a page or post? all he is aware of is the fact that he clicked the “turtles” cat link and, in a website with 10000 pages about turtles, but no posts about turtles, nothing was returned. who considers that to be intuitive?

disable thumbnail gen – that’s your answer to re-working an obvious disk space wasting problem? to break the functionality for many users? is that really a better solution than generating the thumbnails as they are needed?

sorry for the late reply

my host is a great one for web/shared hosting – A Small Orange!

they run apache/nginx, but since it’s a shared box any change they make to the nginx config is system-wide – they might be able to make the change on one container if i pester them, but i’m not that worried about it 🙂
