Articles plugin – failure to display categories/articles

Yep, Andy(cowl). Thank you, ist works just fine.

I think, the idea for the plugin is perfect. Until I found ist, i didn´t know, how badly i needed it and i´m grateful for Alex to provide the plugin. But now, this post is two month old an i´m not the only one encountering this problem.

Isn´t it overdue to release a new version for this plugin? Probably many are testing this plugin, have the same problems as we have, and do not find the way to Andy`s solution. A pity.

Thanks andycowl, it worked. In case anyone’s interested, I have edited the plugin to simply display all posts, but not pages (without needing article=1). Just replace the query in aka_get_articles to:

$posts_data = $wpdb->get_results(“
SELECT $wpdb->posts.*
FROM $wpdb->posts
WHERE $wpdb->posts.post_status = ‘publish’
AND $wpdb->posts.post_date_gmt < ‘$now’
AND $wpdb->posts.post_type = ‘post’
GROUP BY $wpdb->posts.ID
ORDER BY $wpdb->posts.post_date_gmt DESC
“);

As you might assume you can change ‘post’ to ‘page’ if you want to display only pages and not posts!

I’d love this plugin if it would work. Want to try Andy’s solution. But where exactly do I put the code he proposed?

Thanks!

andy cowls fix worked for me here too.

Thanks Andy Cowl, this fix worked for me as well (Running on Wp 2.3.3}. To apply the fix, just replace the code in the top part of the fix with the code in the bottom. Corrected everything.

Okay, I tried Andy Cowl’s fix and it worked. Sort of. Now I’m getting both categories and tags displayed. I just want it to be category and the articles, no tags at all.

Any help? Maybe because I’m trying to apply this to WP 2.5.
