Facebook: This content is no longer available The content you requested cannot be displayed right now. It may be temporarily unavailable, the link you clicked on may have expired

When sharing a photo, photo album or a post, Facebook delivers the following message ...

This content is no longer available
The content you requested cannot be displayed right now. It may be temporarily unavailable, the link you clicked on may have expired, or you may not have permission to view this page.

Usually, the message expected would be a confirmation message that says the message has been successfully shared.

In fact, even though the message says the content is not available, it has been successfully shared.

Some people are likely to make several attempts after getting the failure message. Instead they end up posting the "share" several times.

Can You Remove Sidebar and Have Full-Width for Specific Pages in Blogger?

The answer is, YES!  Thanks to the experts at MYBLOGGERLAB, there is a tweak available that involves CSS code placement in the HTML mode of the specific page or a post. Designers don't even have to tinker with the TEMPLATE, the LAYOUT or the EDIT HTML function.

For the complete details, see ...

mybloggerlab.com How To Create a Full Width Page and Remove Sidebar in Blogger

Here is their excellent code addition for modification of specific pages to full-width:

1. Go to Blogger.com >> Add NEW Page/Post
2. Now select HTML TAB on Blogger Post Editor
3. Paste the following CSS and XML Code:

<style>
#sidebar-wrapper, #midsidebar-wrapper, .gapad2, .blog-pager, .post-header-line-1, .post-footer { display:none !important;} #main-wrapper { width:98%!important;} .post { width:98%!important; }
</style>

If you want to use pixel width, you can replace "width:98%" with width:1000px"  -- for example.

If you don't want the page title displayed -- for example, if it takes up space or is redundant -- you can use the following code.

.post-title, .post-labels, post-icons, post-author {display:none!important;}



Full width in specific pages or posts is useful for publishing embedded spreadsheets, large maps, or large pictures or embedded YouTube videos.

WordPress 4.2.2 Security and Maintenance Release May 7, 2015

Posted May 7, 2015 by Samuel Sidler. Filed under Releases, Security.
WordPress 4.2.2 is now available. This is a critical security release for all previous versions and we strongly encourage you to update your sites immediately.

Version 4.2.2 addresses two security issues:

The Genericons icon font package, which is used in a number of popular themes and plugins, contained an HTML file vulnerable to a cross-site scripting attack. All affected themes and plugins hosted on WordPress.org (including the Twenty Fifteen default theme) have been updated today by the WordPress security team to address this issue by removing this nonessential file. To help protect other Genericons usage, WordPress 4.2.2 proactively scans the wp-content directory for this HTML file and removes it. Reported by Robert Abela of Netsparker.
WordPress versions 4.2 and earlier are affected by a critical cross-site scripting vulnerability, which could enable anonymous users to compromise a site. WordPress 4.2.2 includes a comprehensive fix for this issue. Reported separately by Rice Adu and Tong Shi from Baidu[X-team].
