Sunday, 3:00 pm – coming online and looks like server is down?

Bianca

Good morning on a hot day – all fine again now and MS updates coming in.

Gene Line

Hi Yorgo,

Just confused. Here’s what I get in the cpanel when i try to use functions in cpanel.The first one is on emails. The second is when I click on MySQL Databases and the third is when I click on phpadmin and after I put the password in this pops up. I haven’t tried everything but it kinda looks like everything may be turned off for me but works for you, being admin. This is on all of the cpanels.

Thanks Gene

Bianca

Hi Y,

am puzzled!

http://psychic-delia.com/blog > she says that not only HER stuff gets into RSS Feed but also YOUR’S. I see on her attachment YORGOO Press Aggregator for WP.

When I go to Widgets > RSS in the EXTENDED FOOTER bottombar, the link in there is in my view correct:

http://feeds.feedburner.com/psychic-delia/sTcs

But when I click it, it goes to psychic-delia.com!

With Firebug I see this:

RSS FEEDSTREAM

But I just don’t find the bottombar nor the rss to correct this! Also wp-includes brings no joy.

At least no hack, but where could we change this??? HELP!

Thank you.

Gene Line

Sorry, it’s not that i can’t get into the cpanels. That’s all good. It when I’m in the cpanels at can’t get into anything like MySQL, phpamdin, fantastico, or even emails or things like that. I get something like the MySQL server in not online or i don’t have permissions.

Gene Line

i have been hacked the iNDONESIA HACK. What is the best way to just start over. I would like to delete everything and just reinstall. i few of them i will find it and delete it i would like to keep those. The genesbiz, geneline and gogene are ok.

Yorgo

Let’s talk about it at tonight’s call and define what we keep and what we redo.

Gene Line

Hi Yorgo,

I’m getting this in any cpanel that I have gone into:The MySQL® server is currently offline.
I finally getting back to fixing a site that was hacked. I was going to change the password in phpadmin but i can’t get into it.

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

Hi Gene,

I have no problem accessing. Please make sure you deleted cookies and in the worst case flush dns cache from computer. http://geneline.net:2082/
Yorgo

In as much as cPanel access is concerned: make sure the DNS settings on the domain are correct.

http://biancagubalke.com Bianca Gubalke

Y, I guess you are busy with the websites now as I can’t get to them on FTP anymore. I did send various mails to your mobile in this connection, as from early morning. I cleaned up what I could (the whole WHM aria again…) but there is something wrong with the themes folder on wp-content.

What does worry me is that I still get new user registrations from the hacker, which I wanted to stop on http://biancagubalke.com – but could not login as hacker changed the PW. I don’t know how important that is, hence this alert.

I add the link to keep this private, but have no other way to reach out.
It is all very stressful… and I only see Hanno’s blogs OK.

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

No changes on FTP from my end.
http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

You can edit admin access from phpMyAdmin on the wp-users table as done at some calls.

We have just completed migration and you may see some hacks back, however once cleaned as shown at the call you should be fine.

http://geneline.net Gene Line

Ok, on geneline.net this jerk had changed the name of the site in the back office in the settings and general page. I changed it back and it looks ok. It doesn’t seem to matter but I will change the passwords again. So where would he get in to do that?

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

I will take the site offline as we are migrating this week-end.
Just added a Maintenance text to home and changed FTP pass.

I noticed that new data base entries have been created which
I will clean as well.

Due to the migration I need to wait till I have the confirmation
of the new IP addresses to make sure that we clean out the
migrated DB and Site.
http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

Gene,

I have updated your XO to latest from XOMS and set new Child theme.
You may need to fix XO layout and sidebar settings.
Admin login user: Gene new pass same as FTP.

http://geneline.net Gene Line

I’m have the same problem as Bianca been hacked. Its not just the author blog. I have found four so far. Just go to any back office log in page you will see a big mess of stuff. Not sure when this happened just yet. Friday my internet wireless card was down. Just got it fixed.

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

I will have a look at it and clean out for you.

http://biancagubalke.com Bianca Gubalke

Y, pls check my author blog urgently, it’s been hacked just now.

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

It’s fixed; you have conflicting themes loaded!Please load only one XO version into the themes folder, i.e. xo v 3.4.x.

http://biancagubalke.com Bianca Gubalke

Good morning – Media Center downloaded and even SA is getting ready!

Great, now you need a mobile device as the next big step!

http://genesbiz.com Gene Line

Hi Yorgo,

Couldn’t see genesbiz.com did a dns check and got this

Error fetching SOA from ns1.yorgovista.com [208.78.41.37], request timed out. Probably DNS server is offline.
Error fetching SOA from ns2.yorgovista.com [208.78.41.38], request timed out. Probably DNS server is offline.
0 server(s) are alive
No DNS servers alive, tests stopped

Site is all messed up. I was learning more with datafeedr and screwed it up. I will have fixed as soon as i can see it again.
Datafeedr has some kind of Facebook feature. It puts a store on facebook for you. Not sure about it yet. I’m checking it out.

Yorgo don’t worry about the genesbiz.com I got it working. It’s a plugin. Deactivated all of them and it works. So I’m adding 1 at a time back to see which one is the problem.
I hope that you have a computer soon.

Thanks

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

Would be interesting to know which one caused the trouble.

http://genesbiz.com Gene Line

Hi Yorgo,
genesbiz.com is just a white page. When you have time could you look into this. I was working on the home page. So it may be a little missed up. Dont think that is the problem, but it might be.

Thanks

http://biancagubalke.com Bianca Gubalke

Hi Yorgo,

we may need to look at this blog: http://biancagubalke.ycademy.net/ as first there were many updates (which I did) and – set up as we did it all together – brought me tons of spam all PENDING and many coming through the contact 7 form.

There is perhaps a way to delete all this from cpanel? If we could go through this – if this makes sense to you?

Thank you.

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

I have truncated the comments table from DB.
http://biancagubalke.com Bianca Gubalke

Thank you – but I meant it in general for all of us as we set this up together and haven’t looked at it for a while. This might cause the same problems for everyone concerned? Possibly for an evening session?

  The issue is: you did not set up Akismet or similar after the most recent install. As this is an old site it was probably targeted for some time. Switching on Akismet will prevent most of the spam to hit your site.

Hi Yorgo, I’m was going to completely redo the genesbiz.com and do what you were taling about in the call yesterday. Which i should have done a long time ago. Can i do the multi site or not and what it would it take to have the best shop possible?

Thanks

Your Post archive is visible again from admin; I decreased posts per page from 230 (!) to 20 from DB.

For the rest, we will talk about at the Tuesday call.

http://marketingessentialsonline.com/ Boruch Rappaport

Hi Yorgo,

I have been near from far.

Question: You taught us many years ago that when getting traffic, if you don’t get the minimum quorum of visitors that you need to produce an action, it is waste, today’s visitors don’t add up together with yesterday’s visitors, nor with tomorrow’s visitors. Then we were talking about Traffic Exchanges, today I find the same thing true about search engine traffic, meanwhile. I ask: Why should this be true, is it that’s just the way it is, or is there some logical explanation to it? Why shouldn’t yesterday’s, today’s and tomorrow’s visitors all add up, they’re all unique visitors?

Thank you, and warm regards to all,

Boruch

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

Hi Boruch, great to hear from you!

Traffic Exchanges were running on a 24 hour timer for their stats, namely for unique visitors; the reset happened every 24 hours.

Google Ads: as you fix a 24 hour budget, you are looking for keywords with sufficient traffic to reach a minimum quorum to get a statistical daily sale at least ( then you check if that covers the budget).

If your budget is say $5 and every hit costs 50 cents and your target brings you theorethically 200 hits a day your ad will be shown till you had your 10 clicks, say after 50 page views, then after those 10 clicks your ad will not be shown till next day. Suppose now that to get one sale you need on average 100 clicks, but on any one day you don’t get them, then statistically you are wasting your money as you don’t reach on any one day the 100 clicks.

Would it be right to assume that every 10 days you get a sale as within 10 days you reach these 100 hits? No. It’s like in lotery: the probability starts with every new draw, or day in our example.

Other example: eBay. If you assume that 8 of 10 offers never get a bid, and one of 10 converts into a sale, then you should publish each entry 10 fold to reach a max of density; if you republish after expiry for 10 times you remain on a gamble of 1 in 10, whereas you occupy only one slot of the 10.

Search traffic: how do you measure unique hits? If they are not reset every day, then you could cumulate, provided also that you apply a cumulative approach with your stats tools. But this suposes that your whole environment, inclusive Google works like that and that Google does no resets every 24 hours. To figure this out you would also need to know more about cashing rules, timers and of course stats about the publishing stream concerning your concerned keyword. It seems to me that the 24 hour approach (which can then be brokendown into hourly stats and so on) is what most people and tools use and if it’s just to create some bench marks people find easy to use in work-cycle of 1 day.

Hope this helps.

Good morning!

What is the best ‘center tag’ for our 125×125 AD Widget here : http://yorgoo.biancagubalke.com/

If directly included in the script, it would automatically appear neat and tidy for the usual 125×125 ads – yes?

SUNSHINE!

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

Good evening :-)

that widget respects a horizontal margin from the left and would center automatically if the sidebar was wide enough.

In your particular case you can adjust the shot by either put the horizontal margin to ‘auto’ or as the case may be to -1px. Look in the stylesheet for ‘.xo_ad_space’ and then the 4 images.

If you use firebug on mozilla you catch it immediately.

If you need help, just shout.

Sorry i wasn’t able to talk. Headset was dead. Yesterday when we did the dns change everything was perfect. Today when i went intto it today there wasn’t any of them even listed, even what we done yesterday and i wasn’t able to add a new record.

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

I checked your cPanel and all is there under advanced or simple DNS Zone. I updated your record. Your link for YORGOO Pro beta is now: http://yorgoo.geneline.net. ( I updated the domain mapping under tools in your dashboard as well).
Enjoy!

http://geneline.net/ Gene Line

A small problem. I think. In the dash board of geneline.net I click on post to see all post and just get a white page.
The internet says that just another post had a problem and to update it with 3.5.2 so i did and i still get a white page. If you look at the error log in wp-admin it shows PHP Fatal error: Call to a member function get_post_types() on a non-object in /home/geneline/public_html/wp-content/plugins/yet-another-related-posts-plugin/class-admin.php on line 237
Do you have a idea on what’s wrong.

http://genesbiz.com/ Gene Line

It looks like i may have problems. I can get into the dashboard, but everything looks funny and i cant do anything in the back office. Also the site is messed up. No header and side bar is messed up too. The are others too, but Tell me what was wrong with this one and i can work an the others.

Thanks

Good morning from laptop.

Trying to find solutions to http://biancagubalke.com and http://showcase.biancagubalke.com … and cannot delete DELETE folders, not from FTP and not from cpanel. No idea how all this relates to BP that’s been perfectly in place on main, clean and updated.

I have searched for many hours now and 0… Permissions fine. Htaccess fine – yet ALL is affected!

I am not sure about the ETC folder above public_html as bg.com is in there ?

Full backup and d/l theme for showcase on Friday… just before they stroke

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

Don’t touch anything above public_html; if you cannot delete files or folders, check permission settings. I am on a clean out mission on a customer account which will take another few hours before I can help here. Will look into it later.

Please let me know me when it turned sour.

In the worst case load a back-up.
http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

From your error log in the root I see that you get MySQL errors since May 2 …..
http://biancagubalke.com Bianca Gubalke

I got a message from Zo late last night (Saturday) and started searching from there and most of today until now.

Friday was fine and I did the backup (download in cpanel) and download theme showcase to my pc, all was fine then – so it must have happened late Friday to Saturday when I was not online.

I did not find a single file so far that looked weird! Checked many permissions too and htaccess as well as looked at stylesheets.

I have no access to dashboard.

And sure I don’t touch above public_html, just give my observation as I go through everything… and now it’s 9:11 pm and I am ALMOST thru each file. Least confident I am with MO as so many plugins, some I don’t remember (mobile).

Shop > themes > eShop has a big cache, not sure I am supposed to empty that/delete?

The blog was hacked last month, on a Friday – do repeat-triggers exist?

Square eyes…

Yorgo, If you want to, go ahead and get the wp-touch set up for me. I’m going threw the recordings but I’m not done yet. I have problems in the back office of the geneline.net. When I’m trying to create a new page or post there are functions like add/upload a image want work. I have turned off the semiomantics widgets. I cant create or edit any of those. So with with the upload problem I’m not able to create like a landing page for the wp-touch. I have been wanting to completely redo the website but with some things not working. I have been having a hard time.

Thanks

Good morning Yorgo,

may I pick up my Q sent to you yesterday morning re the Wedding Website :

(1)
go COMMENTS and see she cannot approve/reply as I as Admin can.
I guess just something in the permission settings. I set her up as Author.

What was approved etc was done by me/admin – she can’t.

(2)
Also, just so I am ready for that Q:

as to the BLOG area… could the content area (for posts etc) be expanded without influencing anything else? I usually used the 3 column gallery, but this may not be wanted. This is just a question I asked myself and need an answer to.

(3)
Lastly, I was asked to add my name to their CONTACT PAGE as they saw I was nowhere to be seen.
Normally, we go into the footer… is that OK here… as there is very little space… and it seems you did not foresee it.

(4)
Thank you!

Bianca

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

1. An Author cannot approve comments, an Editor can; I set her user account to Editor.

2. You can change the minimum width or the blog by editing CSS:

.template-blog.content .box {min-width:600px;}

for example. Default is 430px. Also note, that a wider min-width will impact on responsiveness.

3. You can add a footer note. In fact, I have not added anything about Semiomantics either, but I will do that in the next edition. Also you can add yourself to the blogroll.

Hope this helps :-).

Nice work, as always!
http://biancagubalke.com Bianca Gubalke

Hi Yorgo,

thanks, all well understood except “add a footnote”.

For me this script is quite different from what we usually work with. I did eventually discover what’s in the sidebar.php – which leads to avia-framework – which leads to wp-footer – which just doesn’t look right either. I did an additional round in the EVO itself and don’t see any possibility here either.
So after having done my thorough round, some clarity here would be enormously appreciated. Many thanks.

Bianca
- http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis
  
  There will be a new version of EVO soon and it will include a brand footer. Just give it a few days please.

http://biancagubalke.com Bianca Gubalke

Hi Yorgo,

a Q re EVO: when I bring up any photo in the slider, I have the .pp_details underneath with arrows, number, description and the X button. I eliminated the description, however, I would like to move the .pp_details into the white field underneath the photo – basically as an integrated part that – ideally – adapts to the size of each photo being brought up.

What is the spiffy code for this please :)

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

Unfortunately this does not work with this slider :-( Or, you put a top margin to the info to move it further down; however this may not look nice on all images.

http://biancagubalke.com Bianca Gubalke

Hi Yorgo,

here’s a Question for Premiere Pro please:

I prepared a movie based on photos which I prepared in size 1600 x 900 to get HD format.

Having rendered the movie, I see significant parts cut off, which is dramatic with images like these:

http://biancagubalke.com/website-development/wedding-video-design/

When I go to 1600 width from 1280 x 720, it gives me basically 1600 x 909 and I see all.
When I reduce to 1280 from there, it gives me 1280 x 727 and no loss either.

So why do I get this loss?

From the forums I am told I would have to tick “Default scale to Frame size” under Settings/General.

I tried this with the current project and I see no more pictures on the main monitor. After some fruitless research,
I assume I have to redo the whole movie with the tick inserted right from the beginning?

Before I make a possible thought error, and as this is quite some work to be redone,I thought I’d better ask first.

Thank you.

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

Simple and Efficient :-)

Create a new sequence in your project with correct settings , select all assets
in your old timeline then copy & paste them to the new one.

(Go: FILE>NEW>SEQUENCE …)

Done.

PS: Alternatively, Zip up the whole project with files, upload it and send me
the link, I will render it 4 u.

Yorgo, I have about 6 sites that were hacked. But these are like Bianca’s. There was a easy fix. What was that. I can go in and fix these. I’m going threw them all and making sire the BulletProff is installed om everything.

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

I just notice that geneline.net is hacked. There you need to delete all htaccess files which have been created on 2-13-2012 and redo permalinks from the concerned dashboards. It’s not as bad as last week’s trouble where we have reloaded a back-up from a week ago.

I am wondering how the hack passes security; could it be affiliate link scripts?

http://biancagubalke.com Bianca Gubalke

Yorgo, pls. check new XO > Custom Fields missing. Video/Gallery/Image all lost their pics (see side-widget on BLOG)

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

After the new theme install from this morning you need to make custom fields visible again from screen options in your editor (as we did at the seminar) and you would need to add the custom script from the seminar if you want to show pictures in the featured side widget:

Replace the storycontent DIV in /widgets/widget_feature.php with this:

Yorgo, I didn’t change a name of a file. I not sure which one has the error. But what I’m seeing that when i try to login into the dashboard it’s using http://genesbiz.com/home/wp-login.php
Why is the home in the url?
Also it shows up in this one too http://genesbiz.com/home/wp-login.php?redirect_to=http%3A%2F%2Fgenesbiz.com%2Fwp-admin%2F&reauth=1
Is was in the dashboard in the general settings and I change the url under WordPress address or the Site address and added home. Not sure which one i changed or both.

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

It’s fixed. You changed the site url which loads automatically. When this hapens you can change it back from phpMyAdmin, options table line 1.
Hope this helps :-).

Good morning Yorgo – pls. check emails as I seem to have a problem with Slider Pro as redid all last night and came to same result. Sent exactly what I did/what happened when last night. Thank you.

http://genesbiz.com Gene Line

Yorgo, on my problem with genesbiz.com. I took the source code into expression web and took the code out for the slide deck pro and the problem went away. So can i just put the plugin over in a delete folder until there’s time to look into it?

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

Sure, that would work. Don’t edit php wth expressionweb but rather with notepad or better with PSPad.

http://genesbiz.com Gene Line

It looks like i did something wrong again. I was creating a home.php and was trying to get that to show, it was working perfect then something went wrong.

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

I will check.

http://geneline.ycademy.net Gene Line

Yorgo I noticed after the call that the new XO 2012 and the old XO 3.1.3 both had the same theme name of Semiomantics XO and so I looked in both sytle.css’s and they both had the Semiomantics XO for the theme name. So would that create the problem of having the wrong design after we loaded the XO 2012?

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

You are right; in spite that the version identifier is different it picks up the theme settings as entered by the old XO into the Data Base.

Thanks for that and have a brilliant day!

http://genesbiz.com Gene Line

There are updates for the genesbiz.com site. Do they need to be done and do you want me to do them are you. I have problems with the widget sets. Cant make any changes to what displays on the side bars widgets. Also the slidedeck isn’t activated. I can use it. I get errors across the top of the page if it’s activated. I will be rethinking the site. I think that i have messed it up. It is doing nothing as far as sales. Auto Parts is a very tough industry.
I will talk to you soon.
You and your family have great holidays!

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

First of all, HAPPY HOLIDAYS to you and your Family! :-))

I have updated your site except for WP as 3.3 is likely to get an update soon because of some bugs and conflicts.
Your SliDdeck works fine – I have just installed the latest version as discussed in one of the last calls before
Christmas.
Same for the Widgets: I have installed the latest version and it works fine, please check from:
http://genesbiz.com/widget_set/yorgotest/.

Also I noticed your site did not have a Name under Settings – General. Please check it as I just typed in something
similar to the tagline.

Installed JetPack to get some stats.

Let’s discuss the site when ever you have a moment after new year and see what needs to be done to make it more
dynamic and to get more impact.

All the Best in 2012!

There are a few issues in ZN b/o since it came up when adding a post. Cannot add tags, links into post, add media into post to name a few.

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

While XO works well with WP 3.3, some of the plugins do not. For that reason I advised not to upgrade the Author Blog to 3.3 …..

I will reset your site to WP 3.2.1.

I have had these problems for a while. I’m just getting back to them. In the back office under widget set. I cant edit or add new. I see this where you do the editing.

What can I do about this

Fatal error: Allowed memory size of 134217728 bytes exhausted (tried to allocate 71 bytes) in /home/tannerl1/public_html/wp-includes/wp-db.php on line 1377

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

There is probably a big problem somewhere on your install since
a need for over 128M memory seems way too much.

A few options:

1. Try to tweak the wp-config.php file by inserting on line two:
define(‘WP_MEMORY_LIMIT’, ’152M’);

2. Kick out plugins which consume loads of memory. Like NGG.

3. Shout at your host and add to increase memory allocation to
your account.

4. Tell me which site it is and I will solve the issue for you.

Dear Gene,
your site is seriously infected with eva(bas64 …. and more.
I wonder where the security breach is, may be as a result of affiliate program product feed streams?
I will look at it later today and try to sort out some of it as this will take you hours :-).

Yorgo, pls ensure that pd.com will not be suspended – it’s that time of the month again and there are various mails to say the month was paid.

I phoned d and asked whether she would be open to an annual payment solution as we discussed the other day, and she would be quite happy with it to avoid all the hassle.

Hi – what’s the stylesheet command for opacity levels please.

Say I want my #body to be #222 @ 30% transparency as I have on my EVO. Whatever command I try, gives no satisfactory result.

Thanks.

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

Example:

myElement {
opacity:0.4;
filter:alpha(opacity=40)
}

opacity:x for transparency, while IE uses filter:alpha(opacity=x)

Hope this helps.
http://biancagubalke.com Bianca Gubalke

Yes – the beginning is clear, but the problem is that I want to apply semi-transparency to the background-color ONLY as in EVO. But here the whole ‘body’ is affected. I tried z-index without success. It’s pointed out in 3w schools – but I haven’t found how to remedy this yet, i.e. as said in my request, only keep the body background color #222 @ 30% transparent. Of course not the posts etc that appear on it!

Perhaps my thinking and thus the command is wrong.
- http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis
  
  Why don’t you load a semi transparent png as a background? The advantage would be that it can be seen in all browsers correctly. A 1px x 1 px png with repeat should do the trick.
http://biancagubalke.com Bianca Gubalke

Thank you – that just did it! Venturing in that area is quite an experience and I enjoy it!

Btw: beautiful photo with Ylino – what speed/aperture? His ears a little prolonged, he could be a little BIG elf with wings frolicking in the waters :)))

  Exposure time: 1/320 sec.
  ISO: 80
  Exposure bias: 0 step
  Focal length 49 mm
  35mm focal length: 399 mm
  That’s about the maximum optical zoom range of the cam, however there is an intelligent zoom feature which would multiply the range by 1.5, say to about 600 mm and then you could use the digital zoom … which I have switched off.

It still worked two weeks ago but now doesn’t load at all.
Thanks
Eileen

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

Dear Eileen,
your site is suffering from misconfiguration which is caused by incompatible plug-ins, unauthorized use of a Pro Plug (I have deleted WPTouch from the shop) and lack of maintenance.
I have corrected what could be done rapidly, however whoever has had it’s hand on that blog has caused damage, namely in as much as the product images and image handling are concerned.
Your SEO does not work – I have corrected the most important settings.
I am glad to see that you have populated your shop nicely with interesting products; the shop needs a major overhaul and fixes which need to be done manually if you don’t want to lose all the work you have invested.
If you want me to fix your site, I will have to charge you $100 which you can send via PayPal to nesta(at)yorgo.net, as repairing things will take a few hours if we don’t want to lose the content.

Please let me know how you want to proceed.

Request for tonight’s Workshop (Tuesday,16 August 2011) :

How to bring SlideDecks onto STATIC PAGES in Semiomantics XO:

1.
Given we have a Frontpage (HOME) with a SlideDeck and say a Sprite-Menu, and wanting our SLIDES in the SlideDeck to LINK TO corresponding categories on STATIC PAGES, how exactly do we do this?

The Linking is not the question here, but the setup of a full-width PAGE with correct SLIDEDECK integration.

2.
If we wish to FEED our blog posts (say from Author Blog) into the SlideDeck of ONE of these STATIC PAGES – like imitating a BLOG – , how do we do this?

How efficient is this in SEO terms?

3.
If we wish to FEED our blog posts (from Author say) according to CATEGORIES to several individual STATIC PAGES, how do we do this?

Example:
On the Author Blog, we have a CATEGORY say “Web Design” – now we wish that all the posts here go into our SLIDEDECK on the STATIC PAGE “WEB DESIGN” – via a FEED.

Mimicking a BLOG on a WEBSITE via a SD on a Static PAGE :)

Probably once again, sorry, but this time sloooowly and step-by-step for uniquely loyal, absolutely adorable and highly ambitious NON-MONKEYS – please!

THANK YOU!

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

Hi Bianca,

let me answer this point by point:

Ad 1: There are two ways to look at it:
1.1 Your frontpage does not have a content body and consists only of the header and footer scripts (.php) whereas the SlideDeck and the sprites menu have been integrated into the header.php.

You could just create multiple of such pages by creating new page templates and corresponding headers as demonstrated last night at:

http://photo.yorgoopress.com

1.2 You can create new static pages from the dashboard and select the full width layout from the page editor. Then you just load the SlideDeck into the editor using the SD button from the editors menu bar. Save and you are done.
You may want to use another header than on the front page as the home header contains already a SlideDeck.

Ad 2: Again, two ways to look at it:

2.1 Create a new Smart SlideDeck, feed in the category feed of your choice and add the new SlideDeck to a page according to Ad 1 above.

1.2 Feed your Author Blog Category Feed into a category on your new blog, then create a Smart SlideDeck and select the corresponding category as content for the Smart deck.

From an SEO point of view, I prefer the second solution.

Ad 3: It is the same as above under Ad 1 and Ad 2. Load the category feed into a Smart Deck and then load that Deck onto the page using the SD button from the page editor, or proceed as under 1.1.

Hope this helps :-).

  Thank you Yorgo – yes, I think especially the Workshop based on some of these questions last night was very helpful to all, although we did not address the Feed topic there as yet. As we saw and always see, it’s not necessarily the understanding of the general lines, but the ‘little devils’ inbetween – whatever the reason may be.
  
  Experience, patience and persistence are the key I guess. These Workshops move us forward!

On the big store. Should i upgrade to the current xo theme or always keep using the original one.

We only upgrade WP on the big store when we have first assured that there is an upgrade soft for the store available which will work with the new WP version.

there is a WP Touch Update we need to decide on – as I lost Internet connection during the call yesterday this was not possible. But fine again – fingers crossed.

Hi Yorgo,

on my above blog I wish to CENTER each Category Name (of 3) above each corresponding IMAGE of the MENU, eg HOME in center above my image… and same on the 2 others.

What is the command for this please? Going blind with trying what did not give me the desired result!

Thank you!

http://photos.biancagubalke.net Bianca Gubalke

Hi guys -

for all of you waiting for an answer to my question: you may UPDATE WP TOUCH!

Enjoy your weekend!
Bianca
http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

Create a CSS class for each menu list item and then set the horizontal margin to “auto”.
Other solution: don’t use the WP menu all together and create the entire menu as a sprite menu, then fit it into the header.php IN STEAD of the navigation.

http://genesbiz.com Gene Line

Hi Yorgo. I have been struggling with the shop. But the last few days it all started coming together and then i got this showing in the side bar. Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach() in /home/genesbiz/public_html/wp-content/plugins/widget-context/widget-context.php on line 86

I can deactivate the Semiomantics Widgets plugin and t will go away. So i wasn’t sure what to do.

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

Just delete that widget then… I will look at the issue and come with a new plug.

  Thanks I see in header.php – but there is a problem on FF. The MENU bar suddenly changed – but fine in IE?
  It’s perfect on the BLOG and nothing else changed?
  
  I cleaned out cookies like crazy, but still see the underlying background image (from FRONTPAGE).
  But looking forward to discuss this issue (different backgrounds for diff pages) in general tomorrow.
  
  Thanks and SUNNY HERE tomorrow :)
  - http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis
    
    The menu looks all over the same to me.
    Backgrounds…. is it really necessary to make life difficult? You would have to code background variables and decide what triggers a background image to load, for example category IDs.

Hmmm, should not be green/orange, except maybe the ad which is rotating.

http://boruchrappaport.net Boruch Rappaport

Yorgo,

Regarding setting up my shop: Sometime about a week ago I copied what I needed, went in via ftp and deleted all of the files in the subdomain shop.br.COM, then I went into cpanel and deleted the db, and then I deleted the whole subdomain. Then I waited about 12 hours till the next day to let the dust settle. Then I recreated the subdomain, manually loaded a WP, manually loaded an eShop 3.1 that we received at the seminar, then I started to listen to Feb.’s recordings in order to configure it properly.

I got as far as I got. I decided not to load the dummy products in order to avoid that variable. When I got to configuring most of the general settings and the design settings, according the order that was taken in the seminar, I decided to load four products.

Now, before I go further, I see that the slider on the home page still doesn’t work. I remind you, that this was an expression of the site being messed up the first time around. I ask at this point: Am I in trouble again, or is it acceptable that the slider shouldn’t work at this juncture?

Please advise.

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

Hi Boruch,

your slider works perfectly as you can see. You just missed to load the widget. Please configure the widget now from Appearance – Widgets – Front Page Slider – Latest Slider Posts.

http://biancagubalke.com Bianca Gubalke

Hi Yorgo,

As I am preparing the ‘psychic project’, on my ‘psychic’ dummy blog on XO, here are two TEMPLATE related issues:

(1) Header ./. Slidedeck:

I have a frontpage (HOME) leading to bloghome (BLOG) via the menu as you know from the pdf I sent you.

On HOME I want to show the specially designed HEADER with sprites as on the design I did (pdf).
On BLOG I wish to show the SlideDeck with the rest I set up.

My challenge is now to get the SlideDeck OUT of the HOMEpage (I deleted the entry on the php but it still shows and I see it on Firebug html… can’t be cookies?)… while keeping it on the BLOGpage – where I do NOT want the special header.

(2) IMAGEBAR

Also, I want NO IMAGEBAR on HOME, but I want it on the BLOG as I had it before. I vaguely remember you saying this is not possible? But then you say “…nothing is impossible” too :)

So, what is the Code I need to punch into the style.css… as I guess I need to define the desired changes/give the !important commands correctly here? Separately for header-frontpage – and header-bloghome???

Or what steps do I need to take?

I’m working on bg.NET/psychic-readings .

Thank you!

Bianca

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis
Hi Bianca,

I have re-coded your child theme where needed.
Here we go:

1. Your frontpage.php looks now like this:
```
<?php
/*
Template Name:Frontpage
*/
get_header('frontpage'); ?>
<?php get_footer('home'); ?>
```
We insert simply the heder-frontpage.php which does not contain the SlideDeck on line 144.
Also we create a footer-home.php which does not contain the image bar and call it on line 6 of frontpage.php

2. bloghome.php
The blog home page corresponds to index.php, reason why we call for that page with the following code:
```
<?php
/*
* Template Name: Bloghome
*/
locate_template( array( 'index.php' ), true );
?>
```
That’s all you need on bloghome.php.

As you are working with a child theme where you add all custom code, you just add index.php to the child theme and start with the following line of code:
```
<?php get_header('bh'); ?>
```
As you see, we pull in the header file called header-bh.php which contains the SlideDeck on line 144.

Note: the above has nothing to do with Style sheet. The image bar can also be removed via functions.php whereas you would then “remove” the concerned action on the concerned page.
Also: at present the SlideDeck only displays on the Blog Home. You can add it easily to the default header if you wish or create another SlideDeck for single post, page or archive pages.

Hope this helps :-).

Into which php file do I put such a statement:

if(is_category(‘jewish-holidays’)){slidedeck…

regarding individual posts? I tried index and page, without any success. Thanks.

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis
This depends:

If you want to display the SlideDeck in the header of any post of a particular category, you either create a header for that category or you use one header and put the conditionals to where you display the slidedeck; note however that SlideDeck needs to be defined as a function. … or you could also use the php insert as we did at the call and insert a template which features just that particular SlideDeck: the SD insert code would then be on that template.

Example:
Create a new php file called sdcat1.php
Punch in the corresponding SD insert code
Insert the template where you want to place the SD, either with or without conditionals.

Example 2:

Create different headers for each category like:

header-cat1.php
header-cat2.php
header-cat3.php

and

rename header.php to header-default.php

Create a new header.php where you just load the conditionals and inserts:

Example:
```
<?php 
if (is_category('1')){
   <?php include(TEMPLATEPATH.'header-cat1.php'); ?>
}
elseif (is_category('2')) {
  <?php include(TEMPLATEPATH.'header-cat2.php'); ?>
}
elseif (is_page('christmas')) {
  <?php include(TEMPLATEPATH.'header-christmas.php'); ?>
}
elseif (is_category('Brap Web Design')) {
  <?php include(TEMPLATEPATH.'header-brapwebdesign.php'); ?>
}
else {
    <?php include(TEMPLATEPATH.'header-default.php'); ?>
```
NOTE: This is the only content of the new header.php (the original content has moved to header-default.php which will be on display if no condition is met as per last “else”

I presume that each header you created holds a different SlideDeck which will then display when the condition is met.

I hope this helps.

FINALLY:
```
<?php
 if ( in_category('jewish-holidays') )  {
 slidedeck(1234);
  }
?>
```
This code can be placed where ever you want the SD to display, in the header or before the loop for example.
In other words, you just embed the SlideDeck insert code in the conditional.

  Thanks again, but I’m still not getting it to work. As is the way of coding and debugging, I am sitting on this problem for 4-5 hours, no complaints, but as part of my debugging I wish to ask you a question: When I put the <?php slidedeck(… in single.php without conditions, it works fine, when I add the conditions, it doesn't. I tried the category slug, the name, and the number. I found this article, it may be relevant:
  
  http://wordpress.org/support/topic/is_category-and-in_category-not-working
  
  Note the moderator's first answer, "is_category() tests to see if you are displaying a category archive, but you are displaying a single post, so this will always return false"
  
  I'm not trying to "pull rank", I rely on you more than any stranger that I'd meet on the net. Just I ask: have you actually succeeded in using the if is_category on our server, in our blogs?
  
  Here is my code:
  
  Hmmm, I don't know how to embed a picture here. here, I hope this doesn't mess up your page, ah, I'll put a comment thingy:
  
  /*
  
  ’99%’, ‘height’ => ’250px’ ) ); }
  ?>
  
  */
  
  Your other solutions will all involve the same problem, on the face of it, thus I haven’t tried any of them yet.
  
  Please advise.
  
  I might not be there tonight, Tuesday, its my turn at my mother’s. Or I might be very late.

Hello Yorgo

Last night during the session phpadmin I accidently deleted the content of the options folder. Obviously, this was an error. Afterwards I couldn’t access the wp-admin anymore, it seems that the database couldn’t be found. I was asked to repair the database by inserting: define(‘WP_ALLOW_REPAIR’, true); in my config-file. It seems, that WP accessed another DB. Is there a way to fix the problem? Otherwise I have to make a new installation of my author-blog and to
start from scratch.with a new DB. Thanks for your help.

I have been talking to people about what they want on the website. Most that i have talk to have been women, They want to be able to put the year, make, model and the part name or just put the VIN# and the part name in and have it go the that auto part. Haven’t been able to figure that out yet. Then with this page that comes up and maybe then to be able to search by price. Which that can be done. The VIN# is what i always like to use as a parts sales man. It eliminates almost all mistakes. So maybe buying auto parts with just your VIN# is the way to go.

Hi Gene,

the criteria you mention could be custom taxonomies which is no problem when loading products right into the site. Extracting such data from a product feed is another story unless the stream comes with corresponding custom fields.

With this short note I close my computer for about 8 days, except in order to deal with any emergencies. Until last Thursday I cleaned my computer for computers folder by folder. It was excrutiating work with constant blue screens, and sudden rebooting. It took a full week. Finally last Thursday I got the AOK from MS Sec. Ess. for the whole contents of my drives. I still didn’t feel secure, you see I received this from the data center early last week:

HI Boruch

1. I am scanning the mentioned account with clamscan antivirus, please update
this ticket in 20 minutes to find results.
2. The mentioned file was uploaded using the account’s main FTP account with
it’s password (no brute brake):

Mar 30 19:06:44 [NOTICE] /home/infertil//public_html/blog/59.php uploaded (11312 bytes, 31.31KB/sec

There may be two explanation:
1. Intruders know your password
2. There is some trojan running on your computer which steals your login
details and allows horses to come in.

The second scenario is seems to be more likely though.
–

So last Thursday I sent the computer into a lab to have it cleaned out professionally. I just received it back late this afternoon. They found many more viruses, especially in images, especially in gifs. They told me, with your patience, forgiveness, and understanding, that Sec Ess is a waste of time, they disabled it for me and loaded another anti-virus. They also, or it also, reset Windows 7 for automatic updates, so now I am again the oddball of our group. I had a scare when I logged on, for even though I looked in my servers in my domains, and everything, apparently, seemed OK, still the browser showed a different favicon then my standard BR, a B of a wierd font. I had actually started this note once in order to ask you whether you were fooling around with it, (and if not, then who is), but |: the computer blue screened in the middle of writing this note on your site :|, and I checked the site and favicon.ico was still correct, and and when I got back all was in order. So therefore I don’t know whether I’ve licked the SOB yet.

I have two sides whether to write a nasty post about the person, I more understand to let things rest and keep a lower profile.

Count me in for the seminar even though I will not be paying for it until after the holiday, ~ April 26. I haven’t received yet an email with the discount code.

I signed up for updates for your blog mainly because I wanted to receive word also about the comments. It didn’t work, only the posts. If you can get me signed up for the comments also, I’ll appreciate it.

Best.

Yorgo, I still have same problem with my WHM sites.
Problem clears for couple hours and back again same problem.
Suggestions please as I have to correct this.

http://boruchrappaport.net/ Boruch Rappaport

We’ve run out of levels for replying, I start fresh, this is a continuation of your yesterday’s answer.

I have a comment about: Google unlisting, maintenance page, ftp client, computer clean, and a few of the other details you raised. But before all that, I am stupified about one thing which gives me the feeling that I’m not clear what’s going on. If you look in my google analytics, you will see that my author blog and infertility – cure – articles . com / blog / are continuing to get 100′s of visitors to the site / virus / , and GA reports that many are viewing 3 and 4 pages, and staying on the blog some time. Now, the virus is no longer there, so they should be getting no more than a 404. Now, true, I ammended the 404 php, but I find it confusing, almost as if the infected file is still there. And both with ftp and with cpanel it says that it is not there.

May I trouble you to take a peek at my google ana. both for br.net, infertility, and to a lesser extent holocaust, and tell me what you think? I’ll send you the entry via email. It’s stranger than Sci Fi. Thanks.

Briefly – I am still listed under a couple of post slugs, and categories, although lower for one. I don’t know what Maintenence page is. I hope to be able to report by tomorrow night that my computer is completely clean. My author blog is hosted on your hosting. It seems that so far nothing has “jumped back” from any database, not withstanding the non-clarity re: Google analytics as above.

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

One of the main problems with these kind of hacks is: we don’t always know what we are looking for. The infected file may write some code to different places and pages, code which looks absolutely normal. In as much as GA is concerned: as Google caches our files, it may take a while till you see the impact from a deleted file.
http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

Btw: I am reloading my Windows today and all the progs; for that reason my answers may be a bit superficial, sorry :-).
- http://boruchrappaport.net/ Boruch Rappaport
  
  Update: I finished going through my hard drives, although with experience I see that I missed things, like when you go through a folder, subfolder by subfolder, you haven’t actually covered the files in the folder which are not in a subfolder, nonetheless I don’t have the patience to go through it again. I hope for the best. Security Essentials found a significant amount, also when a subfolder or file blue screened twice I just deleted whatever it was. Mostly products accumulated over the years.
  
  I see you reloaded WP into br.net, thoughtful move, thank you. I’m going to do it now on the other blogs, although it means upgrading it to the new XO, but the time spent will be worth it. I am also going to contact my server support like you recommended. Regular visitors have continued to “infertility” for the past couple of days, but it looks like s.e. traffic has ceased to br.net yesterday and today. I hope that when this gets all sorted out that regularity will set in.
  
  With the Passover holiday a week away, and we are busy preparing the house, it is unlikely that I will be able to come to the calls this week. And from next, let’s say Sunday evening, I will be offline for the holiday, besides checking in once in a while for emergencies. If we can be in contact through your blog, this way, I’ll appreciate it.
  
  Question: My original XP was loaded on my C drive. When we upgraded as a group to Windows 7, with your advice I installed W7 on my E drive. (There was an issue of Hebrew for my wife, etc etc). For many months now we haven’t been logged on to XP at all, and I have been planning to reformat it and use the C drive for something else. Now, with this current business, I decided that now is the time. However, Windows won’t let me reformat it. I get a “Windows Was Unable To Complete The Format” error. From the top 10 forums in Google they talk about that Windows won’t allow you to format the disk where Windows itself is running, and other ideas along these lines. Here it’s not exactly the same thing. Do you know how I can do this?
  
  Thank you.
  - http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis
    
    Reformat a HD should not be a problem, namely if you install a new Windows on it. You either do it from your running installation or with the Windows 7 disk. Example: just insert the Win 7 disk and do a clean install on the concerned drive … it will ask you about the partition or disk and under advanced settings you will be able to format that disk.
    After you get formatting confirmation, just interrupt the install process.
    
    Yes, communication here is a fine option :-).

SOS, I’ve been hacked. http://boruchrappaport.net/

They put in a file in the root folder of the blog, that is, in the folder in which sits the folders wp-admin, wp-content, and wp-includes, a file called 32.php. it went in in March 30. I saw strange keywords coming up in my google analytics, for example “tuzlarije”, which caught my eye (I don’t have such a word on my blog), and I did a google search and sure enough my site was there br.net/32.php?q=tuzlarije…etc. and when I clicked it, boy oh boy, an experience I never had, files that caused Windows 7 to ask every 20 seconds like a nudnick whether I want to make changes on my hard drive. I found, in between, the files that were doing it, and I deleted them, but they kept coming back out of the grave again and again. I found it very difficult to get control over it. MS Security Essentials didn’t flag it. Now other keywords are coming up on my Google analytics. I want to just delete the file, (if it will delete), but I wanted to show it to you first. I would like to open it, Edit it that is, but I;m afraid.

But we should see from which door the hacker is coming in. Please advise.

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

Congratulations: means you have traffic :-).
Sorted out.
- http://boruchrappaport.net/ Boruch Rappaport
  
  FYI & experience, I was inspired to look around on my servers, and lo & behold, I found the file on almost all of my blogs on all of my servers, even blogs that I haven’t entered for months. Even on html sites I found it, like on braphosting. The one exception which was surprisingly clean were the yorgoopress blogs, br and jewish, clean as a whistle.
  
  I did a full scan, and twice in the middle it bombed out with a blue screen, after hours of running. So then I tried just with E:, where Windows7 is loaded, and it also bluescreened after a few hours of scanning. (I get blue screens from time to time.)
  
  Since the files haven’t come back yet to the blogs, H.Y.H., I think to go back to work. I am a bit worried, on one of my blogs, infertility, Google tells me that I had nine visitors today on bad keywords, and I deleted the file last night already ~ 3am. And 16 visitors on my author site. And so forth. Oh, well.

    Now this seems to be a major issue …. it could indicate that your hosting account got infested. Let’s have a look at it when you are back.
    - http://boruchrappaport.net/ Boruch Rappaport
      
      I’m trying to minimize the issue by first making sure that my computer is 100% clean, if we may rely on Security Essentials. This is taking me time, because it keeps bombing out for different reasons, which means rebooting etc etc. I’m almost doing nothing else except for checking that the hacker’s files have not been uploaded again, which they haven’t, and looking at the 100′s (in the past 2days) who have answered Google’s call to come visit the virus on br.net and infertility. and I put a comment in the sidebar on both sites. Other than that, and visiting here, I’m impatiently going through my hard drives folder by folder. Other than that I am around. If you think that I should check my hosting account, which I would need to be shown how, what you mean, we can meet on Voip, like from Sun morn. If that’s possible, can I trouble you to drop me an email? Thanks
    - http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis
      
      Here is what I would suggest: If Google has not yet unlisted you, put the Maintenance page up!!! Even if it lasts for a few days.
      
      If you are sure that your computer is clean and that namely the FTP client is not infested and loading nonsense, you may well scan your files and folders with the possibility that the virus is lodged in the database and will jump back in every time someone surfs the site.
      
      You may also ask your host to do a virus scan or to help you: some do this, may be for a fee as this can be a time consuming issue.
      
      Last: if you have recent data base back-ups, you may be well advised to install a back-up if the hack touched the DB and if the culprit cannot be detected easily.
      
      Please let me know if you need help.

Backed right off on securities and added acceptance to my site where possible.
Was again in touch with my ISP and they said the problem lay with my host/domain
and that they could not help me further.
My other sites immediately state in the bottom left of the screen “waiting for…”
then open whereas with barry-bell it immediately states ” looking for … and gets no further.

After I preface my excitement that I feel with plans to implement the fantastic ideas that you gave over that I just now heard from Saturday night’s recording…

My shop: In the second recording (Ute’s) of Sunday by day, you tried to use my shop and it didn’t go, and you had two points of criticism, one that I didn’t configure the slider on top from my dashboard, and two, that the feed doesn’t work, something’s wrong, so you went on to Ute’s shop. I didn’t hear this completely at the time, because I was in and out with a lousy connection.

I am now ready to tackle this problem, but I need your guidance how to. I configured the widget PT Latest Slider Posts with Category 19, which is the only one with products in it. A few problems, I imagine interrelated:

* when I close the blog and open it up again, the widget disappears, goes back home to the left side of the page.

* The feed indeed doesn’t work, shop.boruchrappaport.com/category/custom-web-page-design/feed/ gives me a “Internet Explorer cannot display this feed. This feed contains code errors” error.

* I mention that I am not sure that I know how to correctly designate a graphic as the Featured graphic, I might not have done it correctly.

This is my input regarding this question. If you can guide me, I’ll appreciate it.

I have a second problem, much less pressing, which I don’t want to mention now as to not mix things up. One thing at a time, I suggest, for your sake. Just that I am sure you will notice when you go to the site that I messed something up with the navigation bar, I’m aware of it, I had a reason for it, it is indeed a problem, but first things first.

Thanks.

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

Hi Boruch,
I will look at this in a while, just at the first glance:

1. The Feed Works perfectly on FF and on IE the following problem occurs:

Only one top level element is allowed in an XML document.
Line: 117 Character: 2

Frankly I don’t know where imgaa.net link comes from – an affiliate link?

In any case, you would be well advised to redirect the feeds through Feedburner and choose an optimized version (Feedburner offers a choice). This should take care of the problem in any case.

2. The slider widget … has been working when we set up the shop; what have you modified?

3. Featured image: when you upload a picture from the post editor, you get some choices like adding Capitation, Alt Text, Positioning and … next to the “insert to post” button you find a link to make the image the Featured Picture. Also you find a link at the bottom of the right column in the editor (underneath categories and tags) where you can proceed from.
- http://boruchrappaport.net/ Boruch Rappaport
  
  Ca-pi-ta-li-za-tion you mean.
  
  1) I see that in FF the feed works. I will take your advice about streaming it through Feedburner.
  
  I don’t see the imgaa.net link that you refer to. I don’t remember touching any affiliate link except the semiomantics link in the footer, if I or anyone changed it, I think not.
  
  2) the only thing I modified is to take out the dummy data via the button in Themes. At some point I became comfortable with the script, justifiably or not, and I am itching to get my shop in shape the way it should be. I don’t recall touching anything else.
  
  3) I take your words to apply to uploading a picture for the first time, to make it Featured instead of not-featured. Accepted. What I was referring to was to the instructions that you gave in the seminar at some point during the first day instructing how to make a previously uploaded picture a Featured picture. I didn’t exactly grasp, but I understood that you click that “Set Featured Image”, bring up the picture from the gallery, make whatever changes, and then “Save Changes” without “Insert Image to Post”. Why I suspect that I missed something is that it would seem that to select the picture, “Show” that is, from amongst the gallery collections, and then do nothing except for “Save Changes”, and then the gallery closes again, it would seem that this accomplishes nothing.
  
  4) I see that you removed my custom menu. OK. What I was trying to accomplish is that I added a page for an internal reason which appears on the menu bar, but I don’t want it there. Thinking that the obvious solution is to make it a blog post and not a page, I imagined as the wise man with his eyes in his head that in the course of development of the shop that ultimately other pages will be needed, so that I will again come around to the same problem, so let’s just do it now. What seems to you?
  
  Thank you.
  - http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis
    
    Sorry for the custom menu, it’s in the widget list (bottom) just add it again – was to check if that would impact.
    
    Featured: you can always click on the upload icon and instead of grabbing a pic for upload from your computer, you select Gallery and “show” one of those and then scroll down to the corresponding link and make it “featured” (without inserting as the case may be. Save changes, done.
    
    Re slider: I frankly don’t understand what went sour, but there must have been a modification somewhere. Will look at it later.

Regarding loading a SlideDeck to a post: I am working through recording #5 which was after the dinner break Saturday night. I preface that I never actually worked through the exercises of setting up a slider with the material that you provided, because you set it up for me on Sunday, and I went from there and set one up with my own pictures without any trouble, which you can see on my author blog. Following along the exercise from the recording, putting a slider in a post, I published a slider in a post called “Test Test”. You said in the seminar to note that it is out of symmetry, which I see that mine was, and that we should change the height configuration to 450 and then you fixed it to 430. You were working at the time with 800 x 600. My question: I found that changing the height configuration did nothing. Not to 430, not to 600, and not to 150. (I am working with a 300 px heigth). And therefore I don’t know how to make it right, symmetrical. Thanks.

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis
Boruch, here is the extended reply:

1. The Ribbon skin has a fixed height and you cannot just reduce the dimension in the embed code.
Therefore: choose another skin.

2. I have loaded the default now to your post and there you have two possibilities:
- either you adapt the image size to a desired slider size
- or you adapt the slider to the cropped image size.
If you go for solution 1 you have to calculate your image size in function of the column-width, the spine width and the number of spines. In your case it would boil down to an image size of about 508 x 269 for a Slidedeck with height 300 px as per image below:

The second solution is easier to implement as your images have given proportions which have to fit in to the slider: you use a skin with flexible height and you then play with the height till the display is perfect: takes a few seconds while in the first case you would have to reedit the pictures.
Here the screen-shot:

Finally there is a solution for masochists by Nikos Advertizopoulos:
Modify the Ribbon skin to the height you wish and re-edit your images function of the above values every time you use the skin :-).

Note: a SlideDeck in a post will mess up your feed, on static pages you will not have problems.

Hi Yorgo,,
Still cannot gain access consistently to my website.
Have had a 30 minute access via our laptop and then no more.
Just downloaded Maxthon again and have quick access. If I try again later, then nothing.
Tried IE9 with no success at all. Same with Firefox.
Been in touch with ISP Telkom and they can’t help.
Now been going through emails that I might have missed and came upon this one whilst away on holiday. Could this be my site problem and if so how do I resolve?!

New DNS Settings
Please point your YORGOO Press domain to:
ns1.yorgovista.com
ns2.yorgovista.com

Barry, I have made corrective changes to your domain and updated the name-servers to:
ns1.hostingsouthafrica.net
ns2.hostingsouthafrica.net

It may take a few hours to propagate – please let me know if you can see the site. May be you should do another dns flush on your system.
- Barry
  
  Yorgo thanks a lot but still no success here. Done DNS flush a couple of times again, removed router jack for about 25secs. Checked access on our laptop as this has Vista and different security. No success either.
  
  Downloaded Maxthon 3 to see if it could highlight anything. All it says is “Unable to resolve Domain Name. Check your that DNS server settings are correct”
  
  This barry-bell site has given access problems before.
  
  Have just checked my co-ordinatedcrafts site with no, as far as I am aware, server change and it loads very quickly but out of date of course.
  
  Should I scrub the barry-bell site and transfer all to the co-ordinatedcrafts site? Any thoughts & assistance greatly appreciated.
  - http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis
    
    Now you have a point; the DNS change seems to be a problem. I will look at it first thing in the morning!
    You have set to yorgovista.com, in fact it has to be hostingsouthafrica.net
  - http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis
    
    Barry, you should now be able to see the site!
    - Barry
      
      G M Yorgo,
      Tried to access without success again yesterday and again now. Have just tried http://barrybell.ycademy.net and http://co-ordinatedcrafts.com and they load quickly without problems. As these both work, I have changed DNS setting back to the same as these as per Bianca’s email March 4th.
      Will keep trying here but actually getting no result.
    - http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis
      
      Barry, your sites are up and running fine. The problem must be local on your end: fire-walls or whatever as you can see other sites from the same servers. Did you call your ISP and ask for guidance?

Hello Yorgo,
I trust you received my message yesterday for when I tried to access my site early last night it opened quickly with no problems. Worked on it for a while. All OK.

Tried to access again early this morning without success.

I canceled Windows firewall first – couldn’t open site. Then I have allowed Windows access to Firefox – still no success.

Left the router disconnected Sunday night and Monday my IP Address now 41.145.2.155 – just checked it again now to double check.

Hope you can assist easily.
Regards

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

Barry, your IP address is not blocked as confirmed by the data center:

“The IP address 41.145.2.155 of your client is not blocked on the server.
I have white-listed the IP on our server.
Please suggest your client to access his site after disabling
firewall/anti-virus of his local machine or suggest him to access his site from
different network connection.”

May be a call to your ISP may help ?

Yorgo, thank you for the previous issues, works brilliantly.

I ask — during the seminar you took out of my sidebar the Collapsing Categories, saying that there are widgets/plugins that were once good but are no longer any good. OK, accepted. I ask: Can you refer me to another such Category-sidebar-widget which has both the category and the posts?

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

This was a general remark in respect namely to the menu features offered by WP 3. However, the widgets you were using can be used as before and you will not interfere with SEO or any other feature of the blog. Just reactivate and use them if they provide the desired result.
(In as much as I am concerned, I have deleted them from my blog as they don’t add any significant improvement to MY blog.)

Another thing I don’t understand, is that I configured “NO” to a lower sidebar, yet in all three browsers it reserves space for the lower sidebar, also messing up the page.

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

Clean cookies.
- http://boruchrappaport.net/ Boruch Rappaport
  
  Again, here also cleaning cookies didn’t help. I’m probably just making a simple mistake, but I think it needs another set of eyes on my configuration in my dashboard, my eyes just don’t find it.
  
  Also here I am curious if others had the same problem.
  - http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis
    Some answers:
    
    Your lower section side-bar:
    1. Enable the lower section sede-bar
    2. Set the width thereoff to 0
    
    IE Images
    Editing the iestyles.css file will do the trick. On the other hand I am working on a built in work-around.
    I have added to your iestyles:
    
    #rightposts img{width:120px;}
    
    IE Slider
    What is a problem in some IE 8 versions will not be an issue in IE 9; I am working on a work-around for IE 8.

http://boruchrappaport.net/ Boruch Rappaport

As of this writing I reconfigured the new XO script on my Author blog, except for the Custom CSS. I have a problem that on my front page some of the pictures appear in the size 120 x 80 like I configured in the dashboard, and some are full, big, and messes up the page. After I had this question I see that the problem is only on IE, IE8, but on FF and Chrome all of the pictures appear fine.

I can take your advice and only use Firefox, but I am concerned about the masses that still use IE.

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

Clean cookies and edit iestyles.css if needed.
- http://boruchrappaport.net/ Boruch Rappaport
  
  Cleaning cookies didn’t help. I will try to edit iestyles if I don’t have too much trouble figuring out from Firebug what thing has to be changed.
  
  Another issue is that the Sliderota doesn’t work on IE for me.
  
  I am curious whether others had the same problems?

Hi Yorgo,
I’m reinstalling everything on my computer and I think that only thing that I seem to not be able to find is my key code for CS5.
I will soon have the new Imac and will be going threw all of this again. lol

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

This goes into your custom.css:

.main_navi ul li a:hover {background:#E60000;}
.main_navi ul li.current-menu-item a {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #ad0000;
    color: #FFFFFF;
}
.main_navi ul li.current-menu-item a:hover {
    background: none repeat scroll 0 0 #ffa800;

}

Yorgo its all over in geneline.net I found over 600 files. I did a search for .htaccess in ftp and found them. Do you want me to just delete all of them? I will leave the ones that we need to keep the 1kb and just delete the 4kb ones.

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

I will have a look and discuss the issue with the data center. Could it be you uploaded it?

http://geneline.net/ Gene Line

Yorgo I’m seeing that .htaccess 4kb file again. I’ts geneline.net/shop
I deleted the contents but left the file if you need it. They are being a little smarter this time and not killing the site. So you don’t notice anything wrong.

Just checking on hosting south Africa. Is it down. I’m not able to get into hosting or cpanels.

Hi Gene – just a note from me – Bianca – : I see monkeyvalleyresort.net is 100% fine – so should be fine.

Hallo Yorgo!

Noch ein Test.
Habe eine Subdomain (shopping) und mit Fantastico den Blog angelegt.
Datenbank wrdp2
Danach habe ich die Datenbank vom 25.02. hochgeladen.

Im File Manager ist alles sichtbar aber in FTP sehe ich gar nichts.
Seite ist auch im Browser nicht vorhanden. Fehler: Server nicht gefunden

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

Bitte lass es so … werde an diesem beispiel mit dem Datacenter arbeiten.

http://store.uteschaedler.com Ute Schaedler

Danke Yorgo !

Habe das 1. Produkt hochgeladen. Alles funktioniert einwandfrei.

http://yorgonestoridis.com Yorgo Nestoridis

Perfekt! Sieht gut aus mit deinem CSS.

http://uteschaedler.com Ute Schaedler

Hallo Yorgo,

habe 2 neue Shops angelegt.

1. Shop mit Fantastico. Mit Subdomain funktioniert es nicht.
MySQL database: uteschae_wrdp2
MySQL user: uteschae_wrdp2
Der Ordner shop1 ist im cPanel/File Manager vorhanden aber in FTP nicht.
http://uteschaedler.com/shop1
http://uteschaedler.com/shop1/wp-admin/ 404 Error page not exist

2. Shop
Habe eine Subdomain und Datenbank erstellt und WordPress hochgeladen per FTP.
Daten in wp-config.php eingetragen.
http://shop.uteschaedler.com/wp-admin/install.php
http://shop.uteschaedler.com/wp-login.php
Es erscheint eine weiße Seite. Keine Fehlermeldung.

Im cPanel/File Manager ist im Ordner shop nur der Ordner cgi-bin und sonst gar nichts.
In FTP sind alle hochgeladenen Daten aber nicht der Ordner cgi-bin.
Habe die Datenbank von shop1 zu diesem shop hochgeladen (die links habe ich vorher geändert), es erscheint trotzdem eine weiße Seite. Die .htaccess Datei ist leer.
Weiß nicht, was ich noch ausprobieren könnte.

Ute
