I don’t think the sites are linked in any way. Every WP site will have its own unique user lists and passwords. Obviously you can set the same name and password for different sites if you want. I have a WordPress.com userid and password. No idea what the password is as it’s years since I used it, but I’m certain it wouldn’t work here.

There has always been a login button for WordPress, top left, that many folks don’t spot. It goes when you’re logged in and you get a tiny profile picture top left, where you can log out. The extra login widget that was located on the sidebar is quite nice, because it replicates that functionality, but a bit bolder. Unfortunately, it doesn’t quite…[Read more]

Yes, I had the same recently. Does the WP login work if you have a WP site? My generic WP login is different to this one

Thanks. Just tried logging out and in via that login and it seems to work, useful to know

On the other hand, I think that WordPress (.com) tries, with varying success, to track what sites are created based on WordPress, and what known userids visit them.

OK. There are a few changes to look out for. The new Main Menu is obvious, as is the new presentation of messages on the Activity Page. To be honest, I prefer the old appearance, but this version has the advantage of not suffering from the “missing posts” bug. On forums, you now have access to the “Visual Editor” as well as the old “Text (HTML)…[Read more]

Looking good! Seems easier to log in now too

Thanks, Kate. As it happens, I’ve had a nightnare day when nothing worked and the site ended up so broken that I had to restore it to the backup I did before starting. I’ll have to look at plan B tomorrow.

Your faith is much appreciated. It’s hard to sustain annoyance in the face of software that’s free and supported by a mass of volunteers. That said, it’s sometimes frustrating to follow an issue to the stage where somebody reports a similar problem, a developer responds with a few obscure statements, the online thread simply ends without any outcome.

and it happens more than once…

A quick update on the update – as in proposed changes to the site. I hope to release these soon, but there are still some annoying bugs lurking in the dim and distant recesses of the WordPress/BuddyPress/bbPress code which I would at least like to understand first. Progress has been excrutiatingly slow, so I may release some of the more useful…[Read more]

Since bugs and codes are completely beyond my capability to understand, this is where I pat you awkwardly on the shoulder and tell you have absolute faith in you 🙂

*I* have absolute faith

Thank you for all your hard work, Ath.

Just checked out previous autumn challenges and much impressed with new, improved ease of use. My IT skills being all but nil I hugely appreciate your efforts – thank you..

We need some light. Up to 500 words with a happy ending. Thank you.

Gosh, thanks Raine. I think there were some really excellent entries this month. I put my win down to luck – and sneaking “Madrigal” into my story.

Byrd
‘Somewhat overshadowed by Tallis.’
‘Sorry?’
Janet looked up from the score at Penrose who was holding his copy at arm’s length. His other hand grasped his lapel as though he was striking the pose of some learned patrician. Probably just what he was doing, she thought. She felt a twinge of guilt, but also resignation. If only he hadn’t in…[Read more]

Doug
I could be expelled, or even stuck in a young-offenders institution, but, honestly, I can’t see how they’ll ever pin it on me.
Doug isn’t a nice kid. At ten, he’s the spitting image of his dad; spitting being the operative word. He’s well on his way to being as big as him, too. Which is big.
Doug hates all the other kids at school.…[Read more]

Well, I can’t speak for anybody else, but I’m keeping well. Also ridiculously busy. MUST get an entry done for the comp this month, but currently polishing an opening chapter to take to a writers’ weekend in Bournemouth.
Good to see you back.

Yes, I saw that. It’s great. Really marvellous. We seem to have certain people amongst our present government who lack even the most basic decency and compassion*, so it’s heartening to see a positive reaction like this.
*for the sake of impartiality, other domestic political parties may well have members similarly lacking in humanity.

Although, of course, Farage is not a member of HM Government. The fact that he has stood for Parliament seven times (I believe) without ever coming near to being elected is another heartening sign that his poisonous opinions aren’t as widely accepted as he (and others) would like to think.

Hi Richard, did you catch the radio programme about the Penlee lifeboat disaster?
-
Unfortunately I missed it, but I have found something on YouTube posted by the RNLI itself. I hesitate to post a link because funny things have been known to happen when I do, but a search for ‘RNLI 40th Anniversary of Penlee Lifeboat Disaster’ will find it. Relatives of the lost crew, and others, reminiscing. It’s rather moving.

I should spend less time on the test site and more here. Cracking story, Knicks. Well done. Thanks for the competition, Sandra. I found it tough but fun.

Happy new year! I’ve been absent while recovering from orthopaedic surgery. Am still not home yet but am tentatively starting to use my laptop from a lying-down position. I hope you are all well and that 2022 is better than 2021.

Amen to that! Hope you’re up and about soon

Thanks, Daeds. So do I!

Hope everybody had a great time. We had a quiet Christmas with the day itself at the inlaws and then inviting them back on boxing day. Then on Tuesday we had more family round for a super-spreader event. Truthfully, it wasn’t. Every single person did a lateral flow test before attending. Which was a bit weird, but seemed the right thing to do.

Merry Christmas.

And to you too.

And you. Thank you for keeping this place going.
