Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Comments disabled on postsThis is the most likely case. It must be one of the plugins, in combo with 2.6.2. A solution I found to set the comments on all posts back to “allow” is the following.
1) You must have access to use SQL commands on your database, like for example with phpMyAdmin.
2) Select your WP database and click on the SQL tab.
3) Paste and run the following SQL command.UPDATE wp_posts SET comment_status = ‘open’, ping_status = ‘open’ WHERE comment_status = ‘closed’;
I hope this helps. It will save you the time from having to visit every single post and check it to have comments allowed again.
If anyone figures out what caused this, I would like to know please! So to prevent it from happening again. Good luck!

In reply to: Comments disabled on postsThe exact same thing happened to me.
1) Somehow the “Users must be registered and logged in to comment” option was checked on it’s own.
2) Each Post has “Allow Comments” unchecked (although they previously allowed).
3) All my posts now say “comments closed”…All this after I upgraded to 2.6.2. Any idea what caused it yet? Or how to set all posts to allow comments again? It seems unchecking the “User must be registered…” option does not help with older posts. Thank you!!

In reply to: Google Video breaks my XHTML validationYou’re absolutely right 🙁 OBJECT on the other hand validates, I wonder why they’re so backward with this…
There seem to be some plugins that allow you to place a Google Video on your posts with valid xhtml (using “object” instead), yet they’re still in development and require still too much user interventions to get them to function.
We’ll have to wait I guess.

In reply to: Adsense after first post onlyI tried the original solution on this thread, as proposed by Techgnome here.
Of course implementing them at the corresponding parts of the new loop, in index.php
However, although my Google Ads do appear fine between the first and second posts, they do NOT appear on my sidebar or footer. If I remove the code, my sidebar and footer ads show up fine.
In particular there should be google links at the footer and a vertical google ad on the sidebar, as well as a half banner google ad at the top-right hand box. That’s 3 ads, and 1 link, exactly what adsense allows…
So I cannot understand why they show alternate (amazon) ads instead, or nothing (in the case of the sidebar box, where I don’t have alternate ads enabled).
If you visit an individual post’s page (making use of a single.php file not including the $showAdSense solution), everything displays as it is meant to.
I am very confused over this, anyone has any suggestions?
You can see my blog here. Thanks!

In reply to: AllEver.com and meThank you for letting me know samboll! Header looks fine on firefox 1.5.0.4 for me on XP. Are you by any chance using linux or mac? I’ll try to fix that!
As for the white box is concerned, it’s AdSense not displaying on the front page for some strange reason.. 🙁 It works fine if you visit an individual post’s page. It must be something in my code blocking it, I’ll either switch to alternative ads or twist the code 🙂
Again I really appreciate you telling me these! thanks!

In reply to: ugly “Not Found” breaks my theme! :(UPDATE: When I test on my local machine, most of the times I manage to get to the 404.php when something is mistyped in the URLs.
Perhaps this is a server issue with my host?
