Change `$sample-image` to` $sample_image`. Looks like you have to do that in three places. * Also, your one line of code would be better as: * `` * What you are doing above is actually one of the reasons why I originally wrote the [Get Custom Field Values](http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/get-custom-field-values/) plugin. All this code of yours: * ``` ID, 'sample-image', $single = true); ?>

``` * would just be this with the plugin: * ```

'); ?>
``` * (You could put the div tags in the call to the function too so that the sample- image div also doesn’t display if there is no sample image. But the way your original is coded, the div will always display, so my c2c_get_custom example behaves that same way.) * Forum: [Themes and Templates](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/themes-and-templates/) In reply to: [Custom Fields = 0 ? how to?!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-fields-0-how-to/) * [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [17 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/custom-fields-0-how-to/#post-857741) * The fourth argument determines what to show if a post doesn’t have the custom field you’re looking for. * For example: `" />` * The above code looks for the custom field “screenshot” and returns that; otherwise it’ll return the value “default_screenshot.jpg”. Of course, customize to suit your needs. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Creating Custom RSS Feed](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/creating-custom-rss-feed/) * [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [17 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/creating-custom-rss-feed/#post-857029) * WordPress will create custom feeds on-the-fly for you if you provide additional query arguments: * ``` Feed 2 Feed 3 ``` * Obviously, modify the domain to match the root of your WP site (which, if running in a subdirectory, should also be included: i.e. `http://your-real-domain.com/ wordpress/feed/`). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Exclude Specified Posts from Homepage](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-specified-posts-from-homepage/) * [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [18 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-specified-posts-from-homepage/#post-749110) * You can try out [Stealth Publish](http://coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/stealth-publish/). * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Recent posts](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recent-posts-5/) * [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [19 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/recent-posts-5/#post-469404) * By default the plugin outputs each listed post within `
  • ` tags. So you need something like: * `Recent Posts * Or define your own format via the function’s second argument (read the docs for this on the abovementioned page). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Find Category ID of post, see if it equals 20, then do something](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/find-category-id-of-post-see-if-it-equals-20-then-do-something/) * [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [20 years, 8 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/find-category-id-of-post-see-if-it-equals-20-then-do-something/#post-253903) * Try: * `

I’ll keep your user level exclusion idea in mind for the next version of the plugin (which if you confirm the above fix may be somewhat soonish). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Viewing a custom field in Manage Posts layout](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/viewing-a-custom-field-in-manage-posts-layout/) * [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [20 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/viewing-a-custom-field-in-manage-posts-layout/#post-239851) * I had written a plugin (heretofore unreleased) that allows you to do the above. I make no guarentees about it, but last I remember it worked. You can download the zip of it [here](http://www.coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/meta-in-admin-posts-listing.zip). You can see the code for it [here](http://www.coffee2code.com/wp-plugins/meta-in-admin-posts-listing.phps). * Just unzip the .zip in your wp-content/plugins/ directory. Then edit it to identify( a) the custom fields you want to add to the “Manage Posts” page, and (b) the existing columns you want removed. Sorry, no admin screen for it at the moment. * For example, using what you said, to add custom field to post listing, edit this variable like so: `$custom_fields_to_show_in_listing = array( 'country_name' => 'Country', ); * To remove existing columns (such as the author and category columns), change this relevent section: `$listing_columns_to_remove = array('author', 'categories');` * Remember, you’re editing the plugin file to add/change the above code, not your templates or WP core files. * Then, of course, activate the plugin. * If you try it, let me know how (if) it works. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Problems with Customizable Post Listings Plugin](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-customizable-post-listings-plugin/) * [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [20 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/problems-with-customizable-post-listings-plugin/#post-230252) * You’re calling the plugin from within “the loop”. Basically in the above you’re telling it to list the 20 most recent posts, doing so once for every post you have WP set to list (probably 10, as you mentioned the recent posts listings as being repeated 10 times). If you really want to use the above setup, don’t include the post loop: * `` *
    * Recent Posts *
    * * However, since you aren’t defining any customizations to the function call, you probably just want to use regular WP [template tags](http://codex.wordpress.org/Stepping_Into_Template_Tags). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Exhibit install error: Call to undefined function: get_currentuserinfo()](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exhibit-install-error-call-to-undefined-function-get_currentuserinfo/) * [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exhibit-install-error-call-to-undefined-function-get_currentuserinfo/#post-200669) * `get_currentuserinfo()` is a replacable function, hence its inclusion in the pluggable-functions.php file. As such, the function needs to load AFTER all the plugins have been loaded (unlike in pre-1.5.1 versions where it got loaded BEFORE plugins). * What this means for plugins is that you can’t call on `get_currentuserinfo()` in global space. I haven’t taken a look at the code for Exhibit, but that is my guess as to what it’s doing and why it’s now a problem. * It’s very likely other plugins will be likewise affected. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [XHTML validating & the tag](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xhtml-validating-038-the-lt-more-gt-tag/) * [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/xhtml-validating-038-the-lt-more-gt-tag/#post-197362) * There is a bug report on Mosquito related to this issue (which isn’t limited to just the `
    ` tag: [http://mosquito.wordpress.org/view.php?id=178](http://mosquito.wordpress.org/view.php?id=178) * The patch attached to that bug may not apply so cleanly as it was created months ago and the WP code has probably changed things up a bit since then, but the approach should still be valid. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [Help with wp-phpmailer](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-wp-phpmailer/) * [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/help-with-wp-phpmailer/#post-194900) * Would your server also be a Windows server? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [C2C Posts Plugin – How to truncate Permalink?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/c2c-posts-plugin-how-to-truncate-permalink/) * [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/c2c-posts-plugin-how-to-truncate-permalink/#post-194157) * I assume by %URL% you meant %post_URL%. Well, I’m close to releasing a much-delayed update to the plugin. I could probably add a setting or two to allow truncation of titles. Would you be looking to truncate by word or number of characters? A good solution might be to allow truncation of any of the percent-substitution tag values. Hmm, I may just get this version out the door before I try that. There are enough new features in it as it is… 🙂 * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [wpPHPMailer has me confused](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wpphpmailer-has-me-confused/) * [Scott Reilly](https://wordpress.org/support/users/coffee2code/) * (@coffee2code) * WordPress & Plugin Developer * [21 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/wpphpmailer-has-me-confused/#post-194611) * Don’t reinstall WP on account of the plugin. Permissions might be set incorrectly for the plugin’s file(s) and/or directory. Do you have shell access to your plugin’s directory? If so, can you check owner and file permissions? What operating system is your server and what web server are they using?
