In reply to: How to display recent comments in a single category?I solved this issue. It’s an inelegant solution, but it’s working as expected.
Here’s what I did:
1. get a copy of the Get Recent Comments plugin.
2. make a copy of it
3. open the get-recent-comments.php and carefully edit each use of the following expressions:get-recent-comments
get_recent_comments
get_recent_trackbacks
Recent Comments
kjgrc_change these to read:
get-recent-comments2
get_recent_comments2
get_recent_trackbacks2
Recent Comments 2
kjgrc2_Now be sure you change the name of the folder to “Get Recent Comments 2” or whatever you want, and the name of the “get-recent-comments.php” or whatever you want.
Load this into your plugins folder and activate it.
If you get an error, note what the error is, and this will usually tell you where you missed a duplicate name, function, or other registered piece of the plugin (go in and correct it) or that you have bungled it completely and should start over.Now call this plugin with this call:
<?php if (function_exists('get_recent_comments2')) : ?>-
<?php get_recent_comments2(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
Now go into the admin settings, and exclude the categories you want off this second list and update your settings.
I’ve repeated this for the four categories I display on my index, so I’ve got four lovely little lists of single categories, and the corresponding comments below.
It’s cumbersome, but it’s working!

In reply to: How to display recent comments in a single category?I think it’s very strange that there’s no way to do this…

In reply to: line spacing not working well in SafariAlso…
Thanks to a kind reply on my blog, I discovered that the option to disable the visual editor in question has been moved, not removed.
Now it’s in with your user information, right there at the top.
So to turn off this option, if you don’t like it, or are having editing problems, log into the admin area, click users, and edit your profile.
Uncheck the box which says “use visual editor” and it’s gone.
Also, the bad formatting is gone too.Very nice.

In reply to: line spacing not working well in Safariyes. but this was an issue resolved over a year ago which now appears to be back.
not so bad to give a little heads up.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: line spacing not working well in SafariI’ve noticed this as well.
Don’t know if it is true in the 2.x version of Safari, but in Beta 3 and on when editing a post, the “visual editor” presents the post as expected, but the code view (the one i always use) does not show anypmarkup, or retain the line returns.Thus, when editing… well, it’s a mess.
The only way around this seems to be to actually tediously markup all posts with
pandbrtags as you go through it the first time. kind of a drag.I think this is a Safari issue, but something’s not compatible.
I also wonder if there’s a possible fix within WP for this… as it didn’t behave like this before.Forum: Fixing WordPress

In reply to: Blog fraudI agree with mythusmage
In my experience, reason and litigation have failed utterly with domain snatching, impersonation, and slander.
Instead, I’ve promoted the culprits and they eventually lose interest and fade away.
Best thing is to make yourself clear, proceed with what you’re doing, and believe in yourself. Giving in to antagonism is more or less the food for the fool who is mocking you. You know, like the broken, hurt, and lonely bullies in school… if you whine and cry, they snicker and get meaner. If you laugh along, and think they’re lame, they want to sleep over at your house. to which you happily say “Om my, no thank you.”
A slappy life is it’s own reward in my opinion.

In reply to: main directories all have fatal errors! hosed.gotcha.
thank you.
it’s important in an instance where the host is expressing that wordpress is causing all kinds of problems to be able to understand what they are saying.
I really appreciate your help.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: main directories all have fatal errors! hosed.From Wikipedia:
In computing, a symbolic link (often shortened to symlink and also known as a soft link) consists of a special type of file that serves as a reference to another file or directory. Unix-like operating systems in particular often feature symbolic links.
Unlike a hard link, a symbolic link does not point directly to data, but merely contains a symbolic path which an operating system uses to identify a hard link (or another symbolic link). Thus, when a user removes a symbolic link, the file to which it pointed remains unaffected. (In contrast, the removal of a hard link will result in the removal of the file if that file has no other hard links.) Systems can use symbolic links to refer to files even on other mounted file systems. The term orphan refers to a symbolic link whose target does not exist.
Symbolic links operate transparently, which means that their implementation remains invisible to applications. When a program opens, reads, or writes a symbolic link, the operating system will automatically redirect the relevant action to the target of the symlink. However, functions do exist to detect symbolic links so that applications may find and manipulate them.
Users should pay careful attention to the maintenance of symbolic links. Unlike hard links, if the target of a symbolic link is removed, the data vanishes and all links to it become orphans. Conversely, removing a symbolic link has no effect on its target.So this is a hosting issue? Not a WordPress error?

In reply to: main directories all have fatal errors! hosed.They appear to be correct.
I have actually reloaded and run the upgrade script again on the subdomains and the issue remains.
However, to my host’s credit, they have fixed one of the two main issues. They say that there are symbolic links within the domains which were not restored correctly (and I’m not sure what that means) but they’ve fixed my site:
http://fernando-graphicos.com
which uses a sub directory /test/ for testing in relative privatethey say they did this by deleting and re creating the symbolic link.
I’ve asked them for clarification, and to please do the same for the other sites having this problem.
I still don’t really understand what’s happened here.
Thanks, yeah. I’ve been trying that. No luck. However, should i locate the culprit, I’ll return and let you know which plug (or scrap of code) it was.
I wasn’t using a cateogry exclusion plugin. If possible, I like to avoid plugins, and use the loop, or string to do what I’d like to do.
So many unexplained changes in this version.
I think it was too soon to get so excited and release it.Bummin’
