In all the time I’ve been using the plugin, I have never had a post lose anything in the process. I have also been able to duplicate single posts and multiple posts. * As far as I can tell, the plugin has worked perfectly for me, and I use it a couple of times a month. * I appreciate the code to remove the warning. * If you need more details about my site configuration for troubleshooting, let me know. I’m happy to assist.

Please? * This issue is a huge obstacles to many bloggers who, for legitimate reasons, want to add html to their posts but also use the visual editor. * Second, I want to add my support for requests to make the wp/wpmu integration a priority. As someone who uses both, integration of the two would be a major step forward in making it easier for me to maintain my sites. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [twitter tools 1.5.1a won’t authenticate at twitter](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/twitter-tools-151a-wont-authenticate-at-twitter/) * [Dan Butcher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danbutcher/) * (@danbutcher) * [16 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/twitter-tools-151a-wont-authenticate-at-twitter/page/4/#post-956572) * [@dorianj](https://wordpress.org/support/users/dorianj/), can’t help you get the plugin working (I’m still having problems with it too), but I can direct you to the connections tab: * Login to Twitter, click settings, and you’ll see these options on the nav bar– Connections is the last one: * * Account * Password * Mobile * Notices * Picture * Design * Connections * I checked there but couldn’t find anything filtering spam, so that seemed to be a deadend. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [twitter tools 1.5.1a won’t authenticate at twitter](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/twitter-tools-151a-wont-authenticate-at-twitter/) * [Dan Butcher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danbutcher/) * (@danbutcher) * [16 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/twitter-tools-151a-wont-authenticate-at-twitter/page/4/#post-956570) * Twitter Tools was working fine for me a few weeks ago, and then stopped today.

I’ve been using this code to generate a list of upcoming courses: * ``` $querystr = " SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts LEFT JOIN $wpdb->postmeta ON($wpdb->posts.ID = $wpdb->postmeta.post_id) LEFT JOIN $wpdb->term_relationships ON($wpdb->posts.ID = $wpdb->term_relationships.object_id) LEFT JOIN $wpdb->term_taxonomy ON($wpdb->term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id = $wpdb->term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id) WHERE $wpdb->term_taxonomy.term_id = 22 AND $wpdb->term_taxonomy.taxonomy = 'category' AND $wpdb->posts.post_status = 'publish' AND $wpdb->postmeta.meta_key = 'course' ORDER BY $wpdb->postmeta.meta_value ASC " ``` * This produced a list of courses ordered by number, and it worked well as long as I wanted to list only 1 semester at a time. * Now I need to list courses for 2 semesters, so I’ve added a key called “term” that will have the value “spring,” “summer,” or “fall” (or I could number the terms 1, 2, and 3 if that would simplify things). * So what I want to do is first filter the list by term, and then display sorted by course number. I can’t figure out how to add in the code to filter by term. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Where is the post number in the management list?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/where-is-the-post-number-in-the-management-list/) * [Dan Butcher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danbutcher/) * (@danbutcher) * [18 years, 4 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/where-is-the-post-number-in-the-management-list/#post-753967) * I would really like to see the post number added back to the display as well. * Forum: [Installing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/installation/) In reply to: [Upgraded to 2.5, now pages don’t display…WTF?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upgraded-to-25-now-pages-dont-displaywtf/) * [Dan Butcher](https://wordpress.org/support/users/danbutcher/) * (@danbutcher) * [18 years, 6 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/upgraded-to-25-now-pages-dont-displaywtf/page/3/#post-721900) * I’ve been reading about how WP rewrites URLs and came across this post from Mark Jaquith (`http://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2007/09/25/wordpress-23-canonical- urls/`); he concludes with a link to a simple plugin that solved my problem.

What’s confusing is that the post page is working fine–it’s only the front page that doesn’t work. * As a test, I did a completely new install of 2.1 with only the default and classic themes. I then created “Welcome” and “Posts” pages and assigned them through the Options page to the front page and the blog posts, respectively. Everything worked correctly. * I then uploaded my modified version of Cutline, and the links work correctly. Finally, just to check one more thing, I turned on the permalinks function. It still works correctly. * Not sure why it worked this time around, but at least I know I can make the front page option work with Cutline.
