It’s so frustrating when people log in to say they solved a problem BUT THEN DON’T TELL THE REST OF US HOW THEY DID IT!!!
Thanks 800A! Thanks for telling us you solved it by yourself. That really helps the rest of us out!!!

In reply to: Web Scraper brokenUPDATE: The issue lies with your server/host. I contacted my host (Liquidweb) and they responded with this:
“Those functions belong to the Mbregex module.
No, your server’s PHP5 does not have the Mbregex module. PHP4 has Mbregex but not Mbstring.
The Mb refers to multibyte character encodings, such as UTF-8.”
Then they installed the extensions, recompiled PHP, and now this plugin works and lemme tell you WOW, what a cool plugin!
PS: FWIW, Liquidweb took care of this in about 30 minutes for me.

In reply to: Web Scraper brokenI get the same fatal error on line 1421, even after a reinstall. It’s probably because it’s not compatible beyond 2.9.2. I’m using 3.0.1.

In reply to: Linking Parent link to page.I’m trying to do this same thing, but only want it to get the immediate parent, not the very top parent. Unfortunately I’m not a master PHP’er, but I too can cut and paste like a champ.

In reply to: Why does my blog page always default to blog-2?Problem for me too. I have nothing in the trash that matches the slug I’m trying to use.
I want a slug called “artwork” so I renamed the old slug to “artwork-XXXXX”, then created a brand new page with the slug “artwork”, but wordpress still renames it to “artwork-2”.
I think this is a bug with wordpress because I know for a fact there isn’t anything else in the database with the word “artwork” for a slug. I even searched with phpMyAdmin and all it could find was “artwork-XXXXX” and “artwork-2”. The lone word “artwork” is nowhere to be found.

In reply to: Bug: Cannot have duplicate category and tag slugsBTW, I figured out how to remove the “unique” on the wp_terms table and it DOES break things. The site still works, but if you navigate to a page that has the same slug as another, it will always load the first page created with that slug.

In reply to: Bug: Cannot have duplicate category and tag slugsIn WordPress 3.0, removing the “unique” on the wp_terms table doesn’t seem to impact performance and everything seems to work.
How did you remove the unique attribute? I’m using phpMyAdmin and can’t figure it out.

In reply to: Bug: Cannot have duplicate category and tag slugsThis is extremely discouraging especially when factoring in wordpress’ reputation for cleanliness and SEO-friendliness. What’s even more frustrating is how this issue has been brought up by numerous wordpress users yet the development team will not acknowledge it nor offer an explanation.

In reply to: How to use the same SLUG name for multiple categories?This appears to be a bug (a very annoying bug) in WordPress.

In reply to: What are the WordPress %variable% tags called?I hate to be a “bumper”, but is there has to be at least one person or website on the internet that has given these variables a name or a place to reference them?
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: What are the WordPress %variable% tags called?Thanks, but that page is only about using permalinks which I’m already well versed in. I want to know what those variables are called and where I can find a list of every one of them that is available.

In reply to: Changing the Post Order.These are some great suggestions! I will test some out. I hope this thread will help someone else attempting the same thing.

In reply to: Changing the Post Order.Thanks. I had tried that plugin, but it did not work. In fact, it did nothing no matter how much I rearranged the post order in the admin interface.

In reply to: Why is the “automatic upgrade/installation” feature so hit-or-miss?That’s what I have to do each time as well. I would guess that I have to delete the
upgradefolder 50% of the time, but since deleting it requires me to FTP in, I just manually upload the plugin while I’m there. It’s still frustrating though how auto-upgrades just don’t work half the time and how there’s no explanation for it. No explanation that I can find anyway.
