Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Markdown on legacy postings@gappiah I have it running on my site. The issue I have with it is that I have to disable it every time I want to compose a new post, because it replaces the Block Editor. I only need Markdown for old posts.

In reply to: Markdown on legacy postingsI have tried that one, but it isn’t for parsing legacy Markdown posts; it provides its own editor, a bit like Classic Editor, with MD enabled.

In reply to: [Markup Markdown] Disable editor, parsing onlyThanks, but your link to the “markdown shortcode” snippet is a 404.
I have had the same problem – WP is dog slow when I’m logged in (I’ve tried loading the site when I’m not logged in, e.g. by using a Chrome incognito window, and it loads fine). The problem is intermittent – it will go hours without any problems, and then it will take ages to load anything, and often end up loading no actual content – it will load headers, but no website content and it will say 0 entries, comments etc.
This problem started in 2011, and I fixed it then by disabling what was then called the WP Stats plugin and Gravater (all Automattic features, in fact, except Akismet). Then they integrated that into Jetpack. More recently the intermittent slowness problem has reappeared with a vengeance. Looks like deactivating that service will be the only way to stop this problem. Unless, of course, Automattic fix whatever it is that’s making people’s sites slow.

In reply to: WordPress hanging while logged inI disabled most of the plugins I was using and for several weeks this problem didn’t occur. However, in the last week or so I have installed routine updates for Fast Secure Contact Form and Jetpack, and the problem has started again.
Last time this was happening, I fixed it by disabling WP Stats and Gravatar.

In reply to: [My Link Order] Displays "missing argument" errors in sidebar on WP 3.5I just posted a fixed version to my own blog – you’ll need to upload it to the plugins directory of your WP install (say blog/wp-content/plugins) and extract it and it’ll start working:
I just filed the same report here and was given a way to edit it to make the problem go away.
I uploaded the result to this address – you will need to upload it to your plugins directory (your blog’s path followed by /wp-content/plugins) and extract it – your web host should provide a file manager for that purpose.

Hope this helps.

In reply to: [My Link Order] Displays "missing argument" errors in sidebar on WP 3.5Thanks. That made the problem go away.
I’m using 2010 Weaver on WP 3.0.4. My link categories are in the usual alphabetical order even after I moved one out of order to test it.

In reply to: Please restore ability for blind users to add and move widgets.I have recently had to set up the widgets for my blind friend Ginny when she should have been able to do this herself. This should not be happening in 2009.

In reply to: Importing from Movable Type: No Hard ReturnsI’ve had the same problem, and have solved it by editing the MT import file. (I’ve submitted a bug, and a patch, on Trac.)
You need to open the file wp-admin/import/mt.php, go to line 442, and you will find the following:
if( !empty($line) ) $line .= "\n";You need to insert this code, under those two lines:
if( empty($line) ) { if ( 'body' == $context ) $line .= "\n"; if ( 'extended' == $context ) $line .= "\n"; if ( 'comment' == $context ) $line .= "\n"; if ( 'excerpt' == $context ) $line .= "\n"; }So, it preserves the newlines when the context is relevant, and discards them otherwise.
