Comments on: Building a baby photo site with WordPress

Found another hard-coding issue — people using this code have to replace the personalized info in wally-login.php with their own contact info.

Here’s a question, though: when I tried to visit ../wp-admin/users.php?page=unconfirmed , I saw an error message saying “You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.” This is despite the fact that I’m logged in through an admin account and can view the dashboard if I just visit wp-admin.

Is there another way to view unconfirmed registrations besides visiting that link? And do you have any idea why it might not be working? I’m using WP 3.2.1

Thanks in advance for your help.

Cool — thanks!

I might just take you up on that patch challenge. It would be a good learning experience.

In the meantime, I just revised the hardcoded info. I think I’m all set to go!

I hate to say it, but maybe the widget needs some options!

Patches welcome! Building options takes 10x as long as hardcoding.

Look in wp-content/plugins/bbg-subscribe2-widget/bbg-subscribe-widget.php.

That should have been “your dead-simple subscription plugin.”

Also, once again, thanks so much for your work on this!

Okay, Boone. So, I’ve decided not to worry too much about the Flash uploader for now. What I’ve discovered is that I can upload files one-by-one. The key thing is that those photos do not need to be inserted into the post. Instead, one adds the shortcode [gallery] to the post. That will create a gallery based on all photos uploaded to that particular post, even if they weren’t inserted into it.

So, that’s great. I can now add photos. However, what happened next is that I received an email notification announcing that the Gorges family had just uploaded photos to my site!

Can you point me to the file that holds your dead-simple plugin? I hate to say it, but maybe the widget needs some options!

Bizarre. Are you running the latest version of WP? I know that some improvements have been made to the process in WP 3.3 (currently in beta). Maybe you can try that?

Weird: Chrome, Firefox, and Safari all only allow me to use the Browser Uploader.

No, but I’ll give that a shot, even if it reeks of “This site is best viewed in Netscape Navigator 2.0″ What’s strange is that I don’t even have the option in Chrome to enable the flash uploader.

Have you tried in another browser? The Flash uploader can be kinda buggy from browser to browser.

You should be able to upload many pictures at a time, as long as you are using the Flash uploader.

It’s that last part that is tripping me up, as I seem to have only the browser uploader as an option. Any ideas how you would upload photos through the browser uploader (and/or force the flash uploader), or can batch uploads only be done through the flash uploader?

I did a bit of googling on forcing the flash uploader, but the solutions out there seem a little convoluted and, uh, forced to me.
