  • Here’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.

    This issue is not resolved.

    I’ve created a new ticket:
    http://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/10084

    The 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.

    I’ve edited the language in print-posts.php to 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>

    I’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!

    Thanks, 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.

    Here’s the result of my latest “automatic” plugin upgrade:

    Upgrade Plugin

    Downloading update from http://downloads.wordpress.org/plugin/google-sitemap-generator.3.1.2.zip

    Unpacking the update

    Could not copy file: /public_html/wp-content/upgrade/sitemap/google-sitemap-generator/documentation.txt

    Plugin upgrade Failed

    some 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.

    With 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!

    Here’s my Loop:

    Doesn’t the_content handle the full content for each post?

    I have the Sociable script beneath the_content now. Above that is the beginning of the loop. The only “if” statement I see is if ( 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.

    Hey, 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.

    (@bobjones)

    dbmartin, 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!

    Thread Starter bobjones

    (@bobjones)

    Not 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.
