He offers a free 21-day trial. It’s certainly worth checking out! Thanks for the plugins, Alex! * [mog](https://wordpress.org/support/users/mog/) * (@mog) * [22 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/alexs-12-compatible-plugins/#post-50677) * Just read that on his site, now I have to try them. Course, I am already using the style switcher and it still works after updating to 1.2 and have WPGrins in the comments. I’ll have to see what has changed. * [theoretikal](https://wordpress.org/support/users/theoretikal/) * (@theoretikal) * [22 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/alexs-12-compatible-plugins/#post-50678) * Alex, concering the style switcher, is there a way to get it to work on static pages not in the wp folder? So that the styles would be consistent throughout the site, and so you could change the style from any page (main, about, blog, gbook, etc.). I fiddled around for a while, even moving my-hacks.php and wp- style-switcher.php to the main folder, and edited the copied wp-style-switcher. php to point towards “/blog/wp-style” instead of just “wp-style.” I get the list of styles to show up, however, no default style is loaded, and whenever I click on the link to change styles it brings me back to my blog index page instead of the page its located on. Any help would be greatly appreciated, thanks. * Thread Starter [alexkingorg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexkingorg/) * (@alexkingorg) * [22 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/alexs-12-compatible-plugins/#post-50703) * Thanks for the Tasks plug NM, I appreciate it. 🙂 theoretikaL, did you add: ` ` to your other pages? * [danithew](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danithew/) * (@danithew) * [22 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/alexs-12-compatible-plugins/#post-50704) * Alex is the KING. I haven’t managed to upgrade from my 1.01(?) version to 1.2 yet (i confess… I’m skeered to mess at the moment) … but I sure am looking forward to using plugins instead of hacks. I second the expressed by NuclearMoose. * Thread Starter [alexkingorg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexkingorg/) * (@alexkingorg) * [22 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/alexs-12-compatible-plugins/#post-50724) * There isn’t really much difference between plugins and hacks. All the plugin activation/de-activation means is you don’t have to edit the my-hacks.php page. It’s basically a cleaner implementation of the same thing. * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [22 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/alexs-12-compatible-plugins/#post-50727) * Using the 12th nightly. Put the php file in the /plugins, activated it, yet get this error “Warning: main(wp-last-visit.php): failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/–path–/html/blog/index.php on line 28” My error ? * Thread Starter [alexkingorg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexkingorg/) * (@alexkingorg) * [22 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/alexs-12-compatible-plugins/#post-50728) * what is on line 28 in index.php? * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [22 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/alexs-12-compatible-plugins/#post-50730) * `` * [Stuart](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stuart/) * (@stuart) * [22 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/alexs-12-compatible-plugins/#post-50732) * Hi Alex. Thanks for the smilies plugin. I also tried out the “wp-last-visit” and got a similar error to podz. The line he’s quoting is the actual “include” line. I solved it by doing this. which gives the full path to the file. Don’t know if that means the plugin activation isn’t working properly but the plugin is now working. * [Mark (podz)](https://wordpress.org/support/users/podz/) * (@podz) * [22 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/alexs-12-compatible-plugins/#post-50734) * That did the trick 🙂 Thanks ! * Thread Starter [alexkingorg](https://wordpress.org/support/users/alexkingorg/) * (@alexkingorg) * [22 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/alexs-12-compatible-plugins/#post-50735) * I could have sworn I’d fixed that in the docs, but it wasn’t in the zipped version. Fixed now. * [Stuart](https://wordpress.org/support/users/stuart/) * (@stuart) * [22 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/alexs-12-compatible-plugins/#post-50741) * Gosh. Does that mean I did something right?? * [Beel](https://wordpress.org/support/users/beel/) * (@beel) * [22 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/alexs-12-compatible-plugins/#post-50791) * I don’t know why it is an issue for me and not others (or it would have been mentioned here) but $siteurl no longer works for me – ’tis better if get_settings(‘ siteurl’) is used. * Anonymous * [22 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/alexs-12-compatible-plugins/#post-50832) * I figured out the missing directories in step 3, but steps 4, 6, and 7 are too vague as to where the lines are supposed to be inserted. Step 7 seems to jump back to index.php but it’s not clear about that. I gave it a try but it didn’t work. Oh well.
