In reply to: comment_form_title not workign with threaded commentsHere’s something that’ll make you feel good:
“Reply to (author)” only displays when javascript is disabled in your browser. If javascript is enabled, you see “Leave a reply.”
Pretty smart thinking, eh? Offer less functionality to the majority of visitors, who do have javascript enabled in their browsers.
Offer more functionality to the few who do not have javascript enabled.
And while you’re at it, don’t bother to monitor the issue and attempt to explain what’s up to the users who are competely confused by such illogical behavior.

In reply to: comment_form_title not workign with threaded commentsThis issue is not resolved.
I’ve created a new ticket:

In reply to: comment_form_title not workign with threaded commentsThe ticket’s been closed without a solution!
I’m having the same problem as everyone else here. Reply link only works in a new tab, as jaacob says.
Is there any fix for this bug? Is it in fact a bug?
Thanks.

In reply to: Redirecting print stylesheet to WP-PrintI’ve edited the language in
print-posts.phpto make the print link appear more prominently. It now appears at both the top and bottom of the page and looks like this:<p style="text-align: <?php echo $text_align_opposite; ?>;" id="print-link"><?php _e('', 'wp-print'); ?> <a href="#Print" onclick="window.print(); return false;" title="<?php _e('Print now.', 'wp-print'); ?>"><?php _e('Print now', 'wp-print'); ?></a> <?php _e('', 'wp-print'); ?></p>Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Redirecting print stylesheet to WP-PrintI’ve pasted the contents of my own print stylesheet into
print-css.css, and it works quite well. I have no compatibility issues there.Are you saying that there is no way to make WP-Print intercept the browser’s print or print-preview functions? That’s what I’m really looking for.
Because otherwise, this creates confusion for the visitor. They’re going to get two different print views, depending on which print method they select.
In fact, WP-Print actually presents a print preview and does not send the page right to the printer. Visitors have to hunt for the Click here to print link down at the bottom of the page. I’m not sure that’s the best view to present to visitors.
I hope you’ll just take these comments as helpful suggestions, intended to provide visitors the best experience possible. Your plugins are great!

In reply to: Paths to mysqldump and mysqlThanks, Lester. I ran the backup and it worked fine.
It is not really possible to 100% determine the path of mysql and mysql dump.
If this is the case, why not just remove the path fields from the config page? It’s better than displaying alarming errors in red that indicate the script is not properly configured.

In reply to: Can’t Upgrade Plugins via DashboardHere’s the result of my latest “automatic” plugin upgrade:

In reply to: Can’t Upgrade Plugins via Dashboardsome hosts do not allow this action from paranoia.
Ask your host about it.That’s nonsense and typical deflection.
My experience is that some plugins update automatically, and some fail.
I suspect the success/failure rate of automatic upgrades is directly related to the competence of the plugin designer.

In reply to: [Plugin: Sociable] Display for first item only in index.phpWith your additional script, Sociable does appear in the first entry only. Looks great on the front page.
But it continues to follow that pattern as you page through the entries (
http://www.mysite.com/page/2/).I do appreciate the extra effort, but for consistency’s sake, I’ll stay with the original script.
Thanks, joost!

In reply to: [Plugin: Sociable] Display for first item only in index.phpDoesn’t
the_contenthandle the full content for each post?I have the Sociable script beneath
the_contentnow. Above that is the beginning of the loop. The only “if” statement I see isif ( have_posts() ).I set Excerpt Editor to force excerpts of all posts following the first. Other than that, I’m hazy on how this thing works.
Thanks.

In reply to: [Plugin: WP-PageNavi] Padding problem in IEHey, glad we could help out!
Seriously, including a style sheet is a nice thing, but hard-coding a style with an html entity just creates confusion.
Thanks to you for the plugin, and to dbmartin for locating the error.

In reply to: [Plugin: WP-PageNavi] Padding problem in IEdbmartin, you are a CSS scholar.
I had allowed the automatic update for wp-pagenavi, and so did not realize that the new version has added the “thin space” code.
Thanks for the correction.
Lester: With all respect for your skill and generosity as a plugin designer, if you don’t know anything about CSS, why are you gumming up your work with obscure html symbol entities?
Bad form!

In reply to: [Plugin: WP-PageNavi] Padding problem in IENot good with CSS? Then why did you include a style sheet with the page-navi plugin?
dbmartin: Check the stylesheet. If you’re using the plugin, check the output in IE. You should see the result.
