In reply to: Strange problem with Flash image uploaderStill having issues with this. I contacted my host and this was the message I got back:
I had a look at the SWF uploader, and was not able to make heads or tails of why it’s not working. I tried 2 different web-browsers each running a different version of Shockwave Flash, and neither of them could get the Flash Uploader to work. The only thing that I can think of that ~might~ cause this is potentially the script may need to be re-configured for the new system path to the uploads directory. On your (gs) Grid-Service account the absolute path was:
/home/64590/domains/albotas.com/html/wp-content/uploads/On your (dv) Dedicated-Virtual server the path is:
/var/www/vhosts/albotas.com/httpdocs/wp-content/uploads/Since I’m not familiar with the configuration files for your Flash uploader (or where they’re located) I’ve not looked at them.
Anyone out there know how to fix this?

In reply to: Adding Featured Posts above HeaderI’ve been looking for this same thing forever, but there don’t seem to be any tutorials or plugins, but I keep seeing more and more blogs with it. Please help!

In reply to: I’m not sure what this is called, but how do I get it?Thanks for the reply!
I know about the thumbnails, but is their a name for the featured thing? I guess it’s just a featured thumbnail header. I’ve also heard it called a featured thumbnail carousel, but some people say that the thumbnails have to rotate for it to be a carousel.
The main thing I want is for the post titles to be displayed over top the thumbnails and have some sort of hover effect like at the tippy top of Engadget.com
Thanks.

In reply to: Strange problem with Flash image uploaderJust tried reuploading fresh wp-includes and wp-admin folders, but it just made it worse. Whenever I’d try to make a new post or edit a draft all of the buttons looked like a bunch of scribbled pixels, so I just went back to the old wp-admin and wp-includes folders.

In reply to: Strange problem with Flash image uploaderSwitched to the default theme and the problem persists. A new problem I just noticed is that the upload images button is gone from the Flash uploader completely now since this morning.

In reply to: Strange problem with Flash image uploaderTried deactivating all plugins and resetting the plugin folder. Happens with all images. Tried re-uploading a fresh swfupload folder in the /wp-includes/js/ directory, but it didn’t work either.

In reply to: Strange problem with Flash image uploaderJust got off the phone with my web host and they said the permissions looked fine, but they couldn’t locate the error. They even tracked the error log live while I tried uploading an image and couldn’t see anything.
So weird. As soon as the image upload gets to 100% and says “crunching” the wordpress login screen pops up inside the little image uploading box.
Even weirder still is the fact that the new author that I added has no trouble uploading images at all.
The browser uploader works fine, but I have a few image-heavy posts that I need to go up and uploading one by on is a bit of a pain, but I guess I can manage although I’d really like to sort the problem out.

In reply to: Strange problem with Flash image uploaderThanks. I’ll try that.
Just so it never happens again, any clue what could have caused this strange error? Could it really have been caused just by adding a new editor to the site? Or was it probably something else?

In reply to: Strange problem with Flash image uploaderThanks so much for the suggestions and quick responses!
Tried all the above advice and I’m already running the latest version, but I’m not sure what that 755 recursive permissions stuff means. Sorry.
Any help would be great. This site is sort of my livelihood at the moment and I really hope to find a way to fix this, but I don’t have much technical knowledge when it comes to these things.
Thanks again.

In reply to: Is it possible to put post title inside header image?Okay, so I have something sort of like this in my loop:
<?php query_posts('ports_per_page=1&category_name=FEATURED'); if (have_posts()) : ?> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?> <div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>"> <div class="lead-image-wrapper"> <h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2> <?php $image = get_post_meta($post->ID, "lead_image", true); ?> <img src="<?php echo $image; ?>" /> </div> <div class="entry"> <?php the_content('READ MORE'); ?> </div> <p class="postmetadata"><?php the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', '<br />'); ?> Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php edit_post_link('Edit', ', ' | '); ?> <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments', '1 Comment', '% Comments'); ?></p> </div> <?php endwhile; ?>Not sure if it works yet and I highly doubt it will. Anybody see anything that maybe I’m missing so I can add it before I test it out?
Thanks.

In reply to: Is it possible to put post title inside header image?Thanks so much! Where would I put this code? Would it go in the loop or as a style. Sorry, I’m really terrible at this stuff.

In reply to: How do I add a “featured post” tab with thumbnails?Thanks vangrog, but I was looking for something for the sidebar that lists small square thumbnails in a row instead of in a rotating gallery.
Like this:
Thumbnail: Excerpt
Thumbnail: Excerpt
Thumbnail: Excerpt…and so on
The Grungezine theme does this elegantly, but I’ve outgrown that theme. I just wish I could figure out how to do this one little trick.

In reply to: Warning: Cannot modify header informationI tried sticking it at the very top of the functions page, so before. Then I also tried pasting it at the very bottom and got an error again.
