After trying to figure out why some comments on my site failed to show up on my blog, I decided a new install of WordPress might do the trick. We’ll see how that goes, but for now I have to edit some of the code to get things looking like they used to. Watch for poorly behaving PHP and CSS, each with its own set of problems.
I thought I’d leave a note and see what happens (it’s now 22 May, 5.37pm BST…).
Thanks Sharon. For some reason my comments have moved to the right. Just something else to fix. What fun.
Try looking in a different browser. It might all be lovely. (Well, you probably read me tearing my hair out over the IE/Firefox issues the other week.)… Oh, no, same in IE. Oh well.
Oh, and by way of a further test, I’ll put in a couple of links. Let’s see what happens. (Will it go into moderation, or won’t it, or will it disappear altogether again…?) Isn’t it exciting?
I have a hold on comments with more than 3 links, but I’ll probably raise that to about 10, since I myself end up putting lots of links in my comments.
The problem I seemed to have was with comment spam filtration with the Kitty’s Spaminator plugin. After the reinstall things seem to be working smoothly, but I’m not sure if there’s a better spam plugin out there. What do you use?
Still using Spaminator, but the 1.5 version (no longer available, sadly); will probably be changing this summer, though. But I can tell you from experience, *don’t* try to use the older versions of spaminator with the new version of WP. Not good.
