comment How to handle support for a non-technical client
I suppose there isn't one right answer, but it would be helpful to know the different ways people handle this.

comment Should all plugins be encapsulated in a Class?
@kaiser, I assume @hakre is referring to the if( ! class_exists ) line you have at the beginning?

comment How to empty debug.log when file size is above xyMB?
Notepad++ or gVim should be able to open the file for you, if you don't need a code solution.

comment Site blocked by WebSense on fresh WP Install
I emailed, and they responded already indicating that they would re-categorize my site as "travel".

comment Site blocked by WebSense on fresh WP Install
Hmm, it seems like you are required to be a paid customer to use the site lookup tool. I checked over at webmasters and found this question I guess my only option is to send an email to their 'suggest' alias.

comment Do you have to have command line access to use Subversion with Wordpress?
In order to follow the WP codex directions for installing/upgrading via SVN, you must have it on the same server. I suppose if you have access to another server where you could checkout WP core via SVN, and then your IT dept would allow an rsync between that SVN checkout and the web server, you may be able to get it to work. But if you can't get shell access, I doubt you would be able to setup an rsync for the files. Can the IT department configure SVN and be responsible for running the upgrade? As in you file a ticket with them, and they run the svn sw command when it's time to upgrade?

comment When should you use WP_Query vs query_posts() vs get_posts()?
@Rarst I was referring to this section in the Codex for query_posts however, I may be mistaken regarding the effect on performance. Unless using WP_Query in your template file will also have the same result (i.e. throwing away your query, and re-executing)

comment Making a parent directory writable by the server
I would recommend only using 777 as a last resort, try 755 on the uploads directory first.

comment When should you use WP_Query vs query_posts() vs get_posts()?
I believe that query_posts is also less efficient in that it will run additional queries, when if you use only WP_Query for your main loop, it will only run the query you choose in WP_Query.

comment Issue with using .htaccess to redirect feedburner feed
Actually, this doesn't work. You have to move the last RewriteCond and RewriteRule to be above the RewriteRule ^index\.php$ - [L] line. The article specifically says it has to be above the regular WP permalink section.

comment Issue with using .htaccess to redirect feedburner feed
duh, I wasn't redirecting the comments feed, so I think I glossed over that part. Thanks! Also, the only reason everything was separated out in my .htaccess is due to allowing WordPress up add in its own rules and the download monitor, and I just copied in the feedburner code. Yours is definitely cleaner.

comment Issue with using .htaccess to redirect feedburner feed
Ok, I used your version, and I can't get it to work, as in now none of the feed links redirect to FeedBurner. I will rephrase my question above.

comment Issue with using .htaccess to redirect feedburner feed
So, are you saying that the line: RewriteCond %{REQUEST_URI} ^/?feed.* [NC] is not required? It seems to work when I remove that line, but didn't understand why that line would be in the instructions.

comment Change image link: wp_get_attachment_link
Are you outputting these images and links in a template or are the links already contained within post/page content in WP and you want to somehow filter and edit them when the page is displayed?

comment Change image link: wp_get_attachment_link
Do images already exist at this size in your WP installation? Maybe it is defaulting to that size because the 150x150 size does not exist? You can use a plugin like Regenerate Thumbnails to create the sizes you need. If that's not the issue, then there is something else in your code (not posted) that is linking to the different sized image. If you view source on the page, what do the img tags and links look like?

comment Image Insert into posts and pages not working after 3.2.1 update
The prop method is new to jQuery 1.6, so like @jeff-sebring mentioned, it is a jQuery conflict. You are likely loading an older version of jQuery somewhere in the code. Since you say there are no plugins enabled, have you hacked around with core, or made any changes to the twenty eleven theme?

comment If the only permalink setting is %postname% what happens in the case of old duplicates?
So it doesn't matter if it's an "old" post or what your permalink settings are, WP ensures that all slugs are unique?

comment Where can I download WordPress themes from?
Many already know this, but in case someone is new, and looking for WP themes, NEVER download themes from any site other than the official WP repository, or the author/company's official website. You are asking to get your site hacked if you do.
