New WordPress plugin released … https://geek.hellyer.kiwi/products/deregister-contact-form-7-plugin/

@ShutUpFoodies What plugin are you referring to?

@SaratheMPA Yay! A fellow kiwi hockey player on Twitter 😀

@ShutUpFoodies It looks like the_author_firstname() is an old depreciated function … http://bit.ly/ciCjJL

@ShutUpFoodies I've never heard of the_author_firstname() before. Try the_author_meta() instead.

@ShutUpFoodies That last suggestion does not allow you to keep the original author names. It just makes sure that SOMETHING appears there.

@ShutUpFoodies If author issue isn't cause by theme, then use WP exporter, then reimport and assign posts to a new author during the import.

@ShutUpFoodies Your achives don't have links to the posts either … http://www.shutupfoodies.com/?m=197004. That's a theme issue.

@ShutUpFoodies If it does it with news posts too, then it's because you don't have the author template tag in your theme.

@ShutUpFoodies Possibly. I need to know what the question is before I can try to answer it though!

@PauldeWouters I PAID for a theme for slapshot.net.nz which included my own code! I paid for my own code !?!?!? Craziness.

Client shows me site and asks if I've worked on code like that. My response – "I wrote that code. Your former developer copied it from me."

@five15design Nothing has changed. WordPress.com has always had ads. They just don't show them often. http://en.wordpress.com/products/

@10PARK Have you paid for the "no ads" upgrade on WordPress.com? if so, something is wrong. Otherwise, that's entirely normal.

@10PARK What if what? Blogs often have Google ads. What is the question exactly?

@10PARK Sorry, I don't understand the question.

@DeFries @mharis It's not the WordPress part of their site that got hacked amusingly :p
