In reply to: [Akismet Anti-spam: Spam Protection] akismet stats page display messed upSame here, been this way for some time.
The display occupies only the top of the page instead of the whole page and you have to scroll within the narrow box to see anything else but even then it’s only a narrow strip that is viewable at one time.WordPress 3.3.1
Akismet 2.5.5The graph that normally shows up in the ‘At A Glance’ section when viewing the 60 day totals is blank, shows up when you select a longer timescale. Not sure if that ties in with what the OP was talking about, just thought I’d mention it.

In reply to: Why is my comments closed in all posts – open in all pages…!??I’ve already posted on the thread that Drawer mentions above, this happened for the second time to my blog at some point at the beginning of May. I can pinpoint the approximate time due to when the levels of spam that Akismet was catching dropped off to zero.
People have already posted some SQL queries you can use on your database to globally re-enable comments, the last time it happened to me I used the following queries from this post on the Perishable Press blog:
- Globally enable comments for all users:
UPDATE wp_posts SET comment_status = 'open'; - Globally disable comments for all users:
UPDATE wp_posts SET comment_status = 'closed'; - Globally enable comments for registered users only:
UPDATE wp_posts SET comment_status = 'registered_only'; - Globally enable pingbacks/trackbacks for all users:
UPDATE wp_posts SET ping_status = 'open'; - Globally disable pingbacks/trackbacks for all users:
UPDATE wp_posts SET ping_status = 'closed';

In reply to: Comments Closed on All Posts Over 6 Days Old on TWO blogsAs detailed in this post on a similar thread, I used the following SQL command on my database:
UPDATE wp_posts SET comment_status = REPLACE (comment_status, 'closed', 'open') WHERE post_status = 'publish' AND post_type = 'post';and that has switched comments on for all my published posts and appears to have fixed it… until the next time. I must note that ‘Allow pings’ was ok and checked for all published posts.

In reply to: Comments Closed on All Posts Over 6 Days Old on TWO blogsYes, this has just happened to my blog for the second time. I hadn’t done anything with the blog for ages (last post 25th Feb) and yesterday I did the following:
– upgraded some plugins
– backed up database
– upgraded to 3.1.2 from 3.1.1
– optimized database
– backed up database againI was fairly sure it was caused by the upgrade but, like last time, my Akismet stats are a better indication of when it happened since it drops to zero and now I’m not so sure. My Akismet stats indicate that it must have happened at the start of May but I was away and, as I’ve previously said, I’ve not done a new post since Feb.

In reply to: choosing columns in post editorSorted – thanks.
Can I remove the SEO columns from the post page?
Yes please.
Thanks sorted – had to tweak the code slightly as it was showing the least downloaded files instead the most downloaded ones:
<?php echo do_shortcode('[downloads query="limit=10&orderby=hits&order=desc" format="3"]'); ?>Yes – I think I understand what you mean, my ‘solution’ above only cured the problem in that, for some users, when they clicked the download link, it would open up another browsing tab and start playing the file whereas now it will prompt you to specify a location to save the mp3 file. Despite ticking the ‘Force Download’ box, if you right-click and save as, you are still prompted to save download.php.
The solution is to tick the box ‘Force Download’, there’s a warning that it may not work on all website hosts but it does on mine.

In reply to: Widget error text display but only on FirefoxNot sure I follow – are you saying I shouldn’t even have bothered to post about this problem in the first place? I didn’t know what widget was causing the ‘problem’ and then discovered it was only specific to Firefox which seemed a bit strange. I’m only guessing that it’s something to do with the way Firefox was caching information but that’s just a guess. This information could be useful to anyone else who may have the same (temporary) issue as when I did a search using the query “Warning: filemtime()” none of the results offered any guidance.

In reply to: Widget error text display but only on FirefoxBah! It’s corrected itself – Firefox playin’ up again, I swear there’s something delayed or weird going on with it’s caching. Nothing to see here, move along please…
Thanks stvwlf – I thought it may be that. I already modify a couple of WordPress core files that are to do with RSS feeds but good point about the frequent updates – modifying the theme is infinitely preferable. Not sure why it reverted back from having spaces, don’t think I’ll ever know but thanks for your help.
