If using Sempress WordPress theme, then remember that the ‘Aside’ and ‘Status’ Post Formats do not show the title of the post in WordPress.

This is intended behaviour.  This post, incidentally, was an ‘Aside’.

That was a public information broadcast. 🙂

 

For more info, see this issue: https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/24011?cversion=0&cnum_hist=43

    Concern over WordPress user account security #security #wordpress

Word up, @WordPress.  I have a locked-down WP site.  Please tell me how this user can ‘Like’ a post on my site when they are not registered on it? How/where can I see more information on this user?  #wordpress

I recently kept getting this problem in Firefox:

Screen capture of error message in Firefox
Are you seeing this a lot when using Firefox / Iceweasel / etc?

If you use Firefox and have recently come across this error, fear not.  This intention of this page is to resolve these errors once and for all!

There are a few key steps to resolving it:

  1. Clear Cookies & Cache
  2. Use System Proxy
  3. Disable all Add-ons
  4. Close and restart browser
  5. Try again

The instructions provide clues, but don’t spell out, how to set up org2blog for multiple blogs. https://github.com/punchagan/org2blog

(setq org2blog/wp-blog-alist 
  '(("wordpress" :url "http://username.wordpress.com/xmlrpc.php"
     :username "username"
     :default-title "Hello World"
     :default-categories ("org2blog" "emacs")
     :tags-as-categories nil) 
    ("my-blog" :url "http://username.server.com/xmlrpc.php"
     :username "admin")))

But what if you don’t want to specify your username and password in this multi-site set-up?

The answer lies in expanding on the elisp provided.

(let 

 (creds-stevedowe creds-warpuni creds-status)
 (add-to-list 'auth-sources "~/.netrc") 
 
 (setq creds-stevedowe (auth-source-user-and-password "stevedowe.me")) 
 (setq creds-warpuni (auth-source-user-and-password "warpuni.com")) 
 (setq creds-status (auth-source-user-and-password "status.warphost.net"))

 (setq org2blog/wp-blog-alist 
  `( ("stevedowe.me"
      :url "https://dowe.uk/xmlrpc.php"
      :default-categories ("me" "process" "things" "world")
      :tags-as-categories nil
      :username ,(car creds-stevedowe)
      :password ,(cadr creds-stevedowe)) 

     ("warpuni.com"
      :url "https://warpuni.com/xmlrpc.php"
      :default-categories ("Analytics","BioData","FreeSoftware","Internet","Mobile","News","Productivity","Security","Social" "Support")
      :tags-as-categories nil
      :username ,(car creds-warpuni)
      :password ,(cadr creds-warpuni)) 

     ("status.warphost.net"
      :url "https://status.warphost.net/xmlrpc.php"
      :tags-as-categories nil
      :username ,(car creds-status)
      :password ,(cadr creds-status)))))
