@fitzgerald – No, this is not a known issue and might have something more to do with your site, your theme, other plug-ins installed, or just the way you’re using things. If you can provide me with a link I can try to diagnose things for you … otherwise a generic “it’s not working” doesn’t do anyone any good.
@frozenheretic Network activation wasn’t even on the radar when we designed this plugin, but that’s definitely something we’ll be taking into account with the next version. Thanks for the head’s up!
Actually, 2.1.0 released just after I wrote that 🙂 Let me know how it works for you.
The problem with the permalink section is that it’s a meta box that can’t be completely removed with
remove_meta_box(). That function call removes it initially, but once the publication auto saves, it pops back in. So the CSS declaration was used to set the meta box todisplay:none;so it wouldn’t confuse users. I was just accidentally loading that CSS for every admin page rather than just the Add Publication page. Completely my fault.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [WP Publication Archive] [Plugin: WP Publication Archive] Activation ErrorOK, I’ve just updated to version 2.1.0. Give it a try and let me know if you’re still having issues. If you are, then please send me a link to your site so I can take a look and try to figure things out.
An erroneous CSS declaration caused this issue. The permalink section is not needed on a publication page, so it was removed to avoid confusion. Unfortunately, we were initially hiding it through CSS and that same declaration was hiding the permalink field for posts/pages/custom post types.
So nothing was broken … just invisible.
This will be fixed in version 2.1.0.
First of all, you don’t use FTP to add your publications. Click on the filing cabinet button on the left-side of the admin screen. Then you can add publications – they’re stored in the database as a custom post type.
Next, to actually display the archive on a post or a page, type the shortcode
[wp-publication-archive]in the content of the page. WordPress sees this text and replaces it automatically with the HTML markup for the archive list.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [WP Publication Archive] [Plugin: WP Publication Archive] Activation Error@dskallman – That’s not too big of a request at all! I’ll see what I can do for the next release 🙂

In reply to: [WP Publication Archive] [Plugin: WP Publication Archive] Activation Error@dskallman – Thank you SO much for pointing this out! It turns out I had a small typo in the initialization script … I’ve fixed it and released version 2.0.1 with the bugfix.

Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Excluding a category in recent postsThis is a much older plug-in using the old widgets API and some pretty hackish direct SQL calls (rather than using the WP_Query class). My first recommendation would be to use another plug-in to get the functionality you want.
My second recommendation, though, would be to modify the SQL query in
output.phpsuch that you’re excluding the category you want to exclude.Turns out it’s some kind of conflict with the WordPress SEO plug-in by Yoast. I’m contacting the author to see if we can find a fix. In the mean time, it’s good to know how to resolve the conflict (by temporarily disabling the plug-in).
I’ve investigated a little deeper with some additional tools. When I’m logged in, it seems that http://mindsharestrategy.com/ is continuously trying to redirect to something like http://mindsharestrategy.com/?action=login&dm=5ed67…&k=0decf…&t=11591… which, in turn, returns a 301 error and tries to redirect back to http://mindsharestrategy.com/
Any ideas?
I should also note that the other sites on this network are not having this issue. They are working properly:
http://eamann.com -> http://beta.eamann.com/portfolio/
http://prosepainting.com -> http://beta.eamann.com/creative/There is no infinite redirect loop here. What can I check to fix the problem?

In reply to: What Should 2011 Hold for WordPress?- Grandchild Themes – A lot of theme frameworks offer child themes already. Adding personal customizations to these can be problematic if they’re ever updated by the original author, returning us to the same problem we had when hacking standard themes. Adding advanced (iterative) theme inheritance would allow for child-child themes (parent theme is the framework, child theme defines the general styling/behavior, grandchild theme adds unique customizations).
- Plug-in Framework Support – As it stands, loading a plug-in framework requires
include()ing an external class file and hoping that no other developer is using a different version of the framework. But installing a framework as a separate plug-in is a hassle for end users. I’d like to see a separate system within WordPress for loading, activating, and managing common frameworks that plug-ins can hook into. This would make 3rd party code more collaborative without lots ofclass my_Frameworkandclass my_other_Frameworkandclass my_Framework_2floating around when upgrading one instance can/should upgrade them all.
