I'm leaving this open ("not resolved") for three days to see if that is long enough to clear the cache of the unwanted link. If that is insufficient time I will update this thread with that info, otherwise I will update with any final comments and set to "resolved".

Thanks!

Thanks for the tip, timethief! I'll give "rebooting" the feature a try.

(I wasn't trying to imply you steal Tim, whoever that is... :-) )

Thanks for the tip, timthief! I'll give "rebooting" the feature a try.

I know how to turn it off entirely (Appearance >> Extras>> "Hide related links on this blog, which means this blog won’t show up on other blogs or get traffic that way"), but would prefer not to do so.

However, there is a blog entry that one of my blog entries links to that I find personally offensive. It does not violate the standards of WordPress, and it is a free country and they are entitled to their opinion, but I strongly disagree with their views and do not want to send them any traffic whatsoever. Is there a way to remove a single link that is inappropriate for my blog? Or do I have to nuke the whole (otherwise positive and beneficial) feature?

I just upgraded my blog to 2.3 and no matter what combo I use I cannot get this thing to work.

I have tried adding it with the visual editor both off and on (creating new posts each time)

Here's my sample:

[sourcecode language='php']
<?php echo 'Hello World!'; ?>
[/sourcecode]

When my page loads I just see:

[sourcecode language='php']

[/sourcecode]

It's treating the sourcecode tags as just text and then sanitizing the actual code out of the post. Any help would be greatly appreciated!

that's just how it works.

not sure if anyone but its developers could be of any help here. so, submit a feedback and, please, post back here if/when this issue is resolved.

alternatively, if you can live w/o some fancy highlighting, just wrap your code into styled scrollable PRE element tags.

I believe there should be ruby2html encoders, so you could add highlighting as well. of course, it'll be totally a DIY thing then, but done well instead.

i don't know about you guys, but being in this thread kind of feels like being stranded on a desert island :D

i mean, there are even no "yellow" posts from staff - stuff that happens when it is beyond the scope of the forum. something that says "we are working on it" maybe? :D

how do i eliminate that also?

this is what i got with the rich visual editor turned off:

view plaincopy to clipboardprint

   1. <a
   2.
   3. href=�http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php&url=PasteTheBlogPostUrlHere&title=Paste
   4.
   5. Blog Post Title� title=�Bookmark using any bookmark manager!�
   6.
   7. ><img src=�http://s9.addthis.com/button1-bm.gif�
   8.
   9. width=�125� height=�16� border=�0� alt=�AddThis Social
  10.
  11. Bookmark Button� /></a>

you can check the test post here:

is there any way i can get rid of the recurring "interrogative diamonds" in the code?

---------------------------------------

and while the the visual editor is turned on i get this:

view plaincopy to clipboardprint

   1. <a
   2.
   3. href="http://shongjog.wordpress.com/wp-admin/%E2%80%9Dhttp://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php&url=PasteTheBlogPostUrlHere&title=Paste"><img

   6.
   7. width="125" height="16" border="0" alt="�AddThis" /></a>

the post where you can find this result:
http://shongjog.wordpress.com/2005/10/02/source-code-test/

--------------------------------

i chose xml as language attribute:
[sourcecode language='xml']MYCODE[/sourcecode]
-----------------------------

the code i want to display correctly is this:
<a href=”http://www.addthis.com/bookmark.php&url=PasteTheBlogPostUrlHere&title=Paste Blog Post Title” title=”Bookmark using any bookmark manager!” ><img src=”http://s9.addthis.com/button1-bm.gif” width=”125″ height=”16″ border=”0″ alt=”AddThis Social Bookmark Button” /></a>

----------------------------------------------------

thanks in advance for solving my problem :D

Any help would be appreciated.

Notice that there are smart-quotes around css. If you change the smart-quotes to plain old single-quotes (language='css') then it works. Someone should probably go and fix the quotes on that page.

(Now, if only it would preserve my code's indentation when I go back to edit it later...)

With the Visual (Rich Text) Editor turned off, typing

if (x < y) then

Turns into the following when saved

(Note: Below, the less than symbol actually appears as ampersand lt; It doesn't render the way that I want to below.)

if (x < y) then

On successive saves, it does not get modified further. Now, the strange thing is that when I type in something like

if (x > y) then

When that gets saved, the greater than symbol doesn't get modified into HTML code and saves the way I would like.

I noticed that when I go to the code editor and post my code between the sourcecode tags everything works great. However, if I got back and edit any portion of that blog, from the wysiwyg editor or the code editor I lose the leading white space. For me that's not a problem because I just make sure if I do make changes I use the code editor and then simply repaste the code between the tags. Voila! no problem.

Don't know how to resolve the text wrapping problem, but I figure this is not really a problem because anyone really interested in the code can [view plain] [copy to clipboard] or [print] which is a really COOL feature!

You can turn off the rich text editor under your user profile page.

if (x < y) then

The code previews correctly, but when I save and continue editing the post the conditional is changed to

if (x < y) then

Which is displayed incorrectly when I preview the post. Further saves will expand the conditional to

if (x &< y) then

I've tried this in Safari and Firefox v2 with the Visual Editor enabled/disabled with the same results.

I've just done another update which includes a fix to issues with backslashes.

The line wrap issues are different depending on the browser you use, I don't get line wraps when using Firefox 2, but I do when using IE7.

mcory1 is correct, development of the code highlighter should be kept at their site. If there are WordPress specific issues (like space preservation and backslashes) then we'll work on them, if they are syntaxhighlighter specific issues (like how it renders in different browsers), then those should be reported back to the project so that everyone can benefit.

That's my guess, at least....

For rendering issues I recommend working with them to get updates/fixes in.

Excuse me Joseph, if I'm missing something here, but how are we supposed to work with them to get updates or fixes if we can't even use javascript in our blogs? Shouldn't you guys do that instead?

To me is like trying to work with the TinyMCE guys to fix those issues in Safari or Opera.

I'd agree with you if we used this in our own installs of wordpress, but not here.
