In reply to: [Taxonomy Converter] Description is not copied to new taxonomyI had the same issue. Converted categories to custom taxonomies just fine (thank you!), but the description was lost.
Also, the taxonomy converter page still shows a checkbox with no name, just parens, for each converted category. Post Category list is correct though.

In reply to: [DOP Shortcodes] Icon on IEI solved this issue. I shortened the VERY LONG font name of ‘DOP Shortcodes Interactive Elements Icons’. Now it works on IE 8, 9, and 10. Still doesn’t show the icon in IE7, but I’m fine with that!

In reply to: Point domain name to WP Site?I resolved this by copying the site to a subdomain and configuring the .info domain name as an addon domain.
The general steps were:
1. Create a directory for the subdomain under public_html.
2. Make a copy of the .us site. Lot of articles on this, but I did this by:
a. Copy the web site files public_html into the new directory. I used cPanel for this.
b. Copy the WordPress database. I used myPhpAdmin for this.
c. Add a user to the new database. I used mySqlDatabase for this.
d. Modify wp-config.php in the new directory to indicate the new database, username, and password.
e. Do a safe search and replace on the database. I used the tool from here: http://interconnectit.com/products/search-and-replace-for-wordpress-databases/ Note: this is NOT a plugin
3. At my .info domain name registrar:
a. Change the CNAME record from ghs.google.com to @. This was necessary since the .info domain previously pointed to a google site.
b. Set the name servers to point to the webhost for the .us domain.
4. At the .us web host site:
a. Add the .info as an add-on domain, being sure to pick the directory created in step 1 above (rather than the default where it creates a directory for you).
b. At this point the .info domain works wonderfully, but you can access it as a subdomain of .us. To prevent this, I modified .htaccess in the new directory (from step 1) as described here: https://my.bluehost.com/cgi/help/134.That’s it. No domain name transfers necessary (in fact, if I had transferred the domain, I still would have needed to do steps 1, 2, and 4). No fees to either web host. Once I started, the whole thing took about 2 hours, but that’s only because I needed to make a couple of support phone calls to learn about steps 2c and 3a. If I did it again, it would take less than 1 hour.
