    Nowhere in Contact Info do I see anything about Gravatar or avatar. Mine automatically did it. No work other than uploading to Gravatar and changing email addy

    I know. But WHERE in WP is the setting to link to your gravatar?? There is nowhere to put your hash or list an email to bring up your image.

    Thank you but where in your WordPress profile do you copy one or link to your own? I see the six choices in the admin and then this

    For users without a custom avatar of their own, you can either display a generic logo or a generated one based on their e-mail address.

    Now, having signed up to test, I created a hash of my email address to do the procedure and write it down, but there is no place to paste my hash.

    I just logged out. I then entered words, one at a time, that I knew were in private or hidden sections. Not a singe post showed up. I use Members and it seems to be working.

    I created the file and it is dated 7/11 so nothing is writing to it, I created it based on a recommendation at a security website or wordpress.org (forget which). I have an .htaccess.old file I’ll paste below.

    The email removes the forums/topics/etc, which are set in WordPress under Settings/Forums/Slugs Obviously I don’t remember coding but y’all know where the email picks up the actual post URL. Somehow it is stripping the Slugs. But just in Approval emails … so what differs between Approval and Subscribed emails in pulling the URL? I think that would be the place to start to find the error/problem/issue/annoyance.

    (I go to Dashboard and look for a number next to Replies and Posts, so I DO have a way around the email discrepancy. I just like to fix things like this before it causes more errors/problems/issues/annoyances).

    .htaccess.old (I didn’t compare them side by side to see if anything differs. I know if I FTP a file already there it adds.old to the old file)

    The plot thickens. I got email at a different email address with notification of the new post BUT the URL was right.

    It ended with

    You are receiving this email because you subscribed to a forum topic.

    Login and visit the topic to unsubscribe from these emails.

    So email to approve is wrong but subscribed posts email is correct.

    Y’all know which email is generated and how so y’all will know what’s wrong.

    Thanks. Was Post Name, changed, saved, now it’s back. Says to update .htaccess.

    Main directory .htaccess below. Not sure what to update. I just know it would be a little easier but I also like things to work right. One error leads to two, etc

    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
    ##BLOCKWP attacks
    RewriteEngine on
    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_METHOD} =POST
    RewriteCond %{HTTP_REFERER} !^http://(.*)?.sitenamehidden.com [NC]

    RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/wp-admin$
    RewriteRule ^(.*)$ – [R=403,L]

    404. I thought the path was wrong so clicked my username to bring up my profile

    http://www.domain.com/forums/users/pam

    Tried adding /profile/change-avatar to the end

    404

    I read about a few plugins but am not sure how they work. With one I had to add a Role Editor plugin

    I just came here and forgot to use the login address listed above. I just clicked Log In. It would try to connect to the main page –I assume — but would go back to the login page. All my info there, NO error message. Tried 5 times then the above URL (thank you!!!!) and I’m logged in now.

    Usually I get the WP error page with the error message.

    I had the wrong pass but it never told me that.

    Oh you asked for a screenshot but no software for that. I can list settings from any page you want.

    It happened just now. I then clicked on Robin’s link and here I am. I’m glad it’s not just me, though. And a few weeks ago when I first came here there wasn’t an issue.

    Makes you wonder what other issues are around…

    Not sure but I checked from four computers of which one had never been to my site.

    It is Private but I’m admin and logged in as such.

    I was thinking of adding a test user, giving her permissions, then testing — but — if I can’t view this as admin, why bother?

    Thank you. Installed and activated. Only issue is signature is not in black color but a very light grey. I changed #aaa to #000000 in the CSS file and now it is fine.

    Thank you, Sam. Members wasn’t activated when I tried to edit the forums. My blog guy is working on it now. I gave him the URL off that plugin.

    Once he tests and I see I can hide forums with Roles allowed, I will buy your program. The alternative is public forums but password-protect two of them. But that just ties up resources as the cracker bots try to get in.

    I installed Teknik Designs’ plugin BUT my site is already populated with forums and posts. I can’t seem to find out how to edit forums to allow access to certain roles.

    Several forums are Private or Hidden to all but those whose Role is Private or Hidden. But, of course, they are visible to all.

    Thank you. A quick glance at that program looks right but I’ll check the other link for help, too.
