   Hi,
   I've upgraded my blog to WP 2.8. I'm using the WP-usersonline plugin. The widget shows the users online, but when i click on the usersonline link i get a 404 page not found. Does anyone recognize this problem? Thanks in advance for helping me out.

   Regards, Martin

   Installed the plugin on a 2.8 test blog and it works for me, so revisit these instructions:

   1. Go to 'WP-Admin -> Pages -> Add New'
   2. Type any title you like in the post's title area
   3. If you ARE using nice permalinks, after typing the title, WordPress will generate the permalink to the page. You will see an 'Edit' link just beside the permalink.
   4. Click 'Edit' and type in 'useronline' in the text field (without the quotes) and click 'Save'.
   5. Type '[page_useronline]' in the post's content area (without the quotes)
   6. Click 'Publish'
   7. If you ARE NOT using nice permalinks, you need to go to 'WP-Admin -> Settings -> Useronline' and under 'UserOnline URL', you need to fill in the URL to the UserOnline Page you created above.

   Hi Michael,

   That simple? It works!
   Can i leave the page status draft, so it won't show on the page bar, or does this mean that users won't see it.
   Thanks a lot!

   Greetings, Martin

   Not sure of that, but you can use the exclude= argument with template tag, wp_list_pages(), or use the Exclude option of the Pages widget.
