Hi Dan.

Thank you very much for taking the time to look at the issue.

I finally found and fixed the problem, which was to remove <li> tag from the text widget that has my Google+ details.

While this probably isn't strictly an issue with Socrates, my issue is with a plugin called WPClicks having a conflict with the Supersleight plugin that Socrates appears to use by default.

What is...

Finally found the problem (only took a month).

Turns out, the "SEO Search Terms Tagging 2" plugin introduced a new "feature" that automatically "promotes" any old article that hasn't had any...

I tried reinstalling WP3.0.4, but that hasn't made a difference.

Interestingly I posted the same question on the WordPress forums and someone else had the exact same problem.

Thanks for trying...

Hi Dan.

I'm already running WP3.0.4. Are you suggesting I reinstall?

I have tried disabling various plugins, but no luck yet.

Not sure if this is a WordPress, Socrates or WP plugin issue, but it's driving me nuts.

Since the beginning of 2011, my three oldest posts are automatically having their posting date changed to...

Can you expand on what

3. Improve container appearance

really means?

Does the upgrade mean we have to put absolutely everything back in again? Things like, widgets, all the Socrates settings, headers, colours etc etc?

My preference is for using Quick Cache.

I purposely never approve/enable pingbacks or trackbacks as there is the potential it can be seen as a link exchange and I don't want to take that risk.

What I ended up doing was editing style.css and made the following change:


.post h1, .post h2, .post h3 { margin:0px 0px 5px 0px; font-size:16pt;font-family:...

If you have an adblocker plugin in FF, it's most likely the reason you don't see the ads.

I get the same behavour as well with FF3.6 and WP3.01

As with most things SEO related, there are various opinions as to the value (or not) of pingbacks.

A lot of people view a pingback as a reciprocal link, which is generally regarded as not a good...

I use WP Syndicator on all my sites (some using Socrates and some using other themes).

It's a highly effective way of building quality backlinks with virtually no effort (apart from the initial...

Have you set the Home Page URL to be just a / under Socrates Navigation?

Unfortunately you'll find that 99% of comments are just spam. Askimet will filter out the majority of those and that should leave just a small handful for you to trash.

From an SEO perspective, you definitely want to have just one blog with the three topics.

As they say, a picture is worth a 1000 words :)

Have a look at http://demo.ultimatemarketingstrategies.net/ for an example of what I mean.

Additionally, one thing I'd love to see is better...

Hi Dan.

Hopefully you noticed my thread about vertical spacing.

I think if you surveyed people, you'd find quite a few not entirely satisfied with the current squashed up spacing if you use...

One of the reasons I really like Socrates is the flexibility and support. It's good to know it is being actively developed and supported.

I'm currently using it on a number of sites, the main...

Karn, I'm glad you got that one sorted out.

I was thinking that it was intentional that you only had your latest post on the home page.

Keep in mind that if you have a lot of content on your...
