In reply to: [Download Manager] Plugin interferes with post edit formI disabled autosave to work around this problem. But now I’ve discovered that the TinyMCE tool doesn’t work. It pops up and lets me add a file via the “quick add” etc. but then it inserts a shortcode to file 0 and the file is not actually added to the list of files on the download manager menu page.
I tried disabling all my plugins that think affect TinyMCE (NextGen, TinyMCE Advanced) but that didn’t change the behavior. Again, any advice on how best to troubleshoot this would be greatly appreciated.

In reply to: [Featured Authors Widget] Placing it on a page?Sorry for the long delay. You might look at this post:
http://digwp.com/2010/04/call-widget-with-shortcode/but it’s not immediately clear to me how that method would call a specific instance of the widget with its settings.
The other thing to do would be to define a new sidebar in your theme and then make a special page template for you page that displays that sidebar. Style as needed and it wil look like its part of the flow of the page content.

In reply to: [Featured Authors Widget] [Plugin: Featured Authors Widget] Post Excerpt?Hi, sorry for the long delay. I guess I don’t automatically get subscribed to the support forum for my own plugins. In any event, to add the excerpt you’d need to add something on line 81 like
<li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>" title="<?php the_title_attribute(); ?>" class="featured-contrib-story"><?php the_title(); ?></a><?php the_excerpt(); ?></li>My hacky solution was to set the plugin to a max-width of 100px so it would never switch from menu to select. Then I added display:none to my menu at my real breakpoint and display block to the select.
No, the primary use case for quick edit was to apply this new taxonomy to two merged blogs before launching as a new site. Now that we’ve done that the need for quick edit is less important. We’re still happily using co-authors.
You can call my version of the issue resolved if you like.
Thanks for the plugin. I am experiencing a twist on the above
WP 3.3.2
Co-Authors Plus Version 2.6.4Fairly recent posts quick edit works as expected (author is not changed when performing a quick edit). Older posts using quick edit to change custom taxonomy term causes the author to be set to logged in user. ?!? I’m at a bit of a loss as to what is different between them that would cause different behavior. Any ideas?

In reply to: Sidebar widthIn style.css,
line 246, try something like
#sidebar {
width: 257px;
float: right;
padding: 0 169px 0 0;
}To make the #sidebar narrower and pushed further left (via right padding) so it sits over your background image correctly.
Then at line 251:
#sidebar_right {
float: left;
width: 256px;
padding: 12px 0 0 0;
}To make this sidebar narrower.
Then you’ll perhaps need to make your first text widget flash embed narrower like
[embed width="256"]url to flash[/embed]Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Using shortcodes in sidbarAh. Thanks so much. I had just finished writing my own shortcode to call WP_oEmbed. But this solution is much better.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Using shortcodes in sidbarDebugging this a bit further. I’m getting different values for the global $shortcode_tags at line 223 of wp-includes/shortcodes.php when its in the content (working) vs when its the sidebar (not working)

In reply to: Problem moving my ms installYes, that’s what BackupBuddy does. DB migration seems fine (links work, images load, etc), but there’s clearly some little nuance I’m not understanding. I think it may have something to do with the path for blod_id 1.
(BTW: I did some htaccess hackery so that the web root redirects to /staging/ so the site can be live there for time being while I sort myself out. The links in the original post will take you into /staging by design now )

In reply to: [Private Feed Keys] [Plugin: Private Feed Keys] Feed keys not being generatedI was running into this problem because I thought it would work if I went to http://www.example.com/feed
But that doesn’t call the filter that generates the key. You need something that will invoke get_feed_link(). So for my case i just put the meta box in my sidebar. That has a link to my feed and that is generated by invoking get_feed_link() which calls the filter and adds the key to it.
I’m still not seeing it on my profile but its working.
I commented out 352-353 and it seems to work. Is that the best method?
