Thank you very much for that tip!

Does the iframe security risk compromise the entire site or does it only affect the page it is on and the embedded item?

May I just add one more thing?Be very cautious about your site security. iframes are notoriously security risks. They are very unstable and there are hackers who seek sites that have them out.

My website is an old design. I plan to revise it and get a developer to make it with WordPress.org system. That will take time. Before that, I want to get the blog up and I want the blog to appear within my website. Not ideal but better than linking outside of my site. iframe seemed to be an excellent temporary solution except for the problem I described.

It looks like you have a plain html web site - so WordPress.ORG would not support what you are doing either - you could convert your whole site over and drive it with WordPress.ORG - you don't have much content so the conversion would not be large - also iframe in another site looks a bit cheezy to many people and can give you search engine issues - and as noted above we don't provide support for iframe issues

You can't and this is not a WordPress.com issue that you can get support for here. WordPress.com blogs are all free hosted here and they are not intended to be displayed iframes on any other sites at all. Here at wordpress.com removing footer links credits which in essence implies that one has created theme they have not created, and are hosting a blog that they are not hosting, is not allowed.

May I remove credit links such as ‘Blog at WordPress.com’, theme, font, or toolbar links?
All WordPress.com bloggers are required to maintain the credit links, even our VIP bloggers. Please do not hide the footer credits or the toolbar with CSS after purchasing a Custom Design upgrade. http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questions

I created a simple blog using WordPress.com and template Ari by Elmastudio. I used iframe to embed it into my existing website.
Here is a link to it: http://www.soundbridgecapital.com/thoughts

When embedded, the designer credit for WordPress.com and Ari by Elmastudio appears over my blog title "SoundBridge Thoughts". This occurs on IE10 most of the time. I have not seen this problem on Firefox, Chrome or Safari.

How can we get this corrected?

I can send you a jpg screenshot by email, if needed.

Thank you in advance for your kind assistance.

@olleydesign
We don't provide support for local installs of WordPress.org software. We don't provide CSS editing support for anyone who is not referring to a free hosted WordPress.com blog that they have purchased an annually renewable custom design upgrade from WordPress.com for.

If you don't have a username account at WordPress.ORG click http://wordpress.org/support/ and register one on the top right hand corner of the page that opens, so you can post to the support forums there and receive advice from WordPress.org bloggers.

Hi, my blog on wordpress is set as private only because I've just been experimenting/learning wordpress on it, I've got a localhost WP site here that I am trying to learn child themes on, but the menus are currently beyond me.

My existing (non-wordpress) website with the menus I like to try and recreate in WP is...

http://www.olleydesign.co.uk/

My plan is to try and re-create it as a wordpress site which I will host possibly with easyspace because I have some experience of them. It won't be a .wordpress.com site.

Also, it would be helpful to know the URL of your existing site so that we could look at the menus there to see if it is possible here.

@olleydesign, is your site going to be hosted here at WordPress.com or are you going to host it on your existing web host?

Does the Custom Design upgrade let me edit HTML?
No. The Custom Design upgrade allows you to edit fonts and CSS only. You can change the appearance of a theme, but not its HTML markup, PHP code, or content. ... read more here http://en.support.wordpress.com/custom-design/#frequently-asked-questions

All CSS editing at wordpress.com is theme specific. Which theme are you editing and how can any Volunteer help you when the blog is private and they cannot view it?

olleydesign — Sat, 30 Mar 2013 18:41:13 +0000

I have a menu system on my current non-wp site (olleydesign.co.uk) that I think works extremely well and I would like to try and use it as I change my site to wordpress.

As an example, the 3rd item in my top menu is 'potfolio' and it opens a second vertical menu for the different types of work I do.

when clicking on an item in the second menu, a list opens up and stays open, so the various things I've designed can be looked at in turn, without the user getting lost.

what I'm wondering is whether it is possible to duplicate this menu system on a wordpress site/theme, or indeed if anyone has come across an existing theme that works like this.

many thanks for any comments or help, I am very new to wordpress.

As noted above the .ORG folks are where you will get the software you will probably be using - they also support it - your students will also need to get used to using the .ORG support documents for their software and modifying code and I assume Themes (done in PHP) -

I used to help in the .ORG forum and would refer people to some of the documents for similar things such as how to make a Post were better written here than over at .ORG - that was two years ago so maybe things have changed - but the how to make a Post would probably be something you would cover in class so might not make any difference

WP Multisite might be just the solution I required. Our objective is for students to access HTML source code within their imported blog running inside Multisite.

I teach multiple technologies (3D/animation, video/audio, etc.) in addition to web design, so I need a solution with a minimal learning curve.

Is Multisite more straight forward than "multiple installs?" I won't have time to deal with proprietary problems for each student's blog. Turning off each student's plug-ins sounds like a simple way to avoid potential problems.

tandava108 on "Teaching Self-Hosted WordPress to College Students?"

tandava108 — Mon, 25 Mar 2013 15:57:38 +0000

Right. You want to either have multiple installs on the server or run WordPress multisite and let your students import their blogs there.

Our goal is to edit HTML within WordPress. We need more than simple Theme templates for my class.

It's my understanding that HTML can't be accessed with the Cloud-Hosted version - only Self-Hosted.

I think you are confused, the $100 fee is for WordPress to move a blog to a self-hosted platform. Since WordPress.org software is free you can do it yourself for nothing - in fact it would be a learning experience for them.

You could even run WordPress.org on a machine on your local LAN, meaning you don't even have to buy a domain name or pay for hosting!

I want college freshmen in my Interactive Media Class to learn self-hosted WordPress. They've gone through 6 hours of Lynda.com's WordPress.com 2.7 Essential Training

http://www.lynda.com/WordPress-2-7-tutorials/wordpress-com-2-7-essential-training/750-2.html

but I need for students to have access to self-hosting without incurring the $100 fee.

I have a self-hosting license, but can't expect students to incur this additional cost on top of the course fee. Cloud hosting is not an option because students must be able to edit simple HTML within their WP Themes.

Has anyone dealt with a similar situation? Is there a way I can make my license available to students for experimentation only? I'm not too concerned about access to my user name password if I can temporarily share my information.

If you read that you will note it only applies to blogs hosted here. Otherwise you are on your own. You report to the police, hire an attorney and proceed with legal action.

Hi, thank you so much for the prompt response.

No, it is not another blogger. Just a random person. I did call 411 who also suggested filing a police report. I have legal council

What are the steps regarding non blogger threats?

timethief — Fri, 15 Mar 2013 19:42:43 +0000

Are you actually referring to another blogger with a free hosted WordPress.com blog?

Hi, I have a wordpress.com blog: iamanafterschoolspecial.wordpress.com.

I recently received a spam-ish email to the email address associated with my blog. It was also addressed to two other emails both of which are not mine. One was [email redacted] which when i email bounces back. The other is: [email redacted]

This email address is familiar to me. I was contacted personally by the owner of this address to my blog email (which i have since changed) and we chatted back and forth. The person was mostly harrassing me about my content.

In his final email he outwardly threatened me.

I posted his email address on my blog.

When i call the "spammer" I asked how they got they got the emails to send their message to. They informed me that those were the emails linked to my domain.

Since i am not hosted I assume they meant my email domain? however they said it was that they were linked to my actual site.

This is VERY concerning! How can this happen, what does it mean and WHAT CAN I DO?

Also, what can [email redacted] do?

This email is still active.

PLEASE ADVISE ASAP

Thank you!
