I am building a store using the Shopp plugin, and I noticed that there are possibilities for duplicate content issues:
- A product can be accessed both by
/shop/{productID} and /shop/{product-slug}
- A tag can be accessed using
/shop/?shopp_tag={tag-uri} and /shop/tag/{tag-slug}
- A tag can be accessed using
/shop/?shopp_category={category-id} and /shop/{category-uri}

I am using the ImageScaler plugin for WordPress on a project, and I like what it does, but it adds a non-standards-compliant attribute to images, such as:

add_filter('the_content', 'strip_imagescaler');
function strip_imagescaler($content) {
$content = preg_replace('/imagescaler="(.*?)".?/s','', $content);
return $content;
}

December 9, 2009Disabling the Cookies for Comments plugin broke the comments form.
On the recommendation of Matt Cutts, I added the Cookies for Comments plugin to this blog, and also added their recommended .htaccess modifications:
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX.*$ RewriteRule ^wp-comments-post.php - [F,L]When I realized that Cookies for Comments was slowing down my blog considerably, I disabled the plugin, but did not think to remove the
.htaccessrewrite rule. The remaining.htaccessrules broke the comments on this blog (for two weeks now, could it be!?). Read more&hellip
