In reply to: RSS Feed appearing in GoogleI tried puting this code in the /feed/ directory as suggested, but it killed my regular RSS feeds.
Also, the Google Sitemap tells Google where to go but does not limit where Google goes. So just because a link is not listed in your sitemap.xml file does not mean that it will be ‘skipped’ by the search bot. That is why you need to have a good robots.txt file too.
Here is my latest attempt at the robots.txt file to fix the feeds problem, etc:

In reply to: Comments Not WorkingMy site was doing the exact same thing. It took quite a bit of testing and elimination and I was amazed at the solution.
My blog, like chanblog, was that arrays were empty.
It turns out my blogs address does not have the www on the front of it (a dreamhost setting?), but on the options page had my site url with the www.
When I removed the www from the siteurls on the option page everything worked!
Probably be same problem with chanblog. I notice the address given above was www…. but when at the site the links to the posts are all without the www.

In reply to: WYSIWYG / HTML toggle button?I agree. There should be a checkbox on the post & page editing screen to ‘toggle wsyiwyg’ that either stayed off till checked again or at least for this page and then goes back to the default.
Right now you have to go to your User Profile to toggle it – go make changes – and then toggle it back. But since this is such a pain I just leave it off.

In reply to: Website not updated when database changesI have just installed the cache-flush plugin ( http://www.xyooj.com/blog/plink/technical/31/plugin-to-flush-wordpress-cache/ ) because I was having problems when I edited posts it would pull up the cached version for me to edit instead of the version with the changes I had just made.
Kind of a pain to have to go ‘hit the button’ but much easier than going in and manually deleting the cache files.
My other wish is that the cache directory was not placed in the ‘wp-content’ directory since wp-content contains the files that should be backed up regularly and there is no need to backup the cache. Too bad it was not placed in a wp-cache directory at the same level as wp-content.

In reply to: Multiple category searches via one query link?I would be interested in being able to do the same – like being able to check the boxes of the categories you want to ‘and’ together.

In reply to: Can we fix batch-categories?Yes, I meant like EDIT – and yes, I can jump from edit to Batch-Categories.
My posts show the Date they were created and then the “Last Modified” date and also on my sidebar it shows all the ‘Latest’ posts which includes any posts that have been modified recently. If all I do is correct a category I don’t want the ‘last modified’ date changed – so batch-categories does the job whereas the regular edit changes this date.
What I really would like to find is a hack that allows you to keep the ‘last modified’ date from changing, just like is already built into Edit for the Post Date.
BTW – I tried to document all I did in installing batch-categories to my blog at:

In reply to: Can we fix batch-categories?Now I just wish I could figure out how to call this routine from within a post – so I could easily change it’s categories without modifying the post_modified date.

In reply to: Can we fix batch-categories?This is a hard thread to follow since there appears to be about 3 different versions of the plugin/hack being discussed.
I finally got it working by following only Kaf’s advice. Then I typed
http://my-site/wp-admin/batch-categories.php
and it worked! (of course change my-site to the name of your site).Now to hack a menu call to it as mentioned by Lorell on 3/3 and I will be set!

In reply to: Tags System for WordPressSomething is not working right on my install of cat2tag. The ‘tags’ I put in the tag box at the bottom of the message are just ignored.
No one on the author’s website seems to be having this problem, so am wondering if I have a conflict with another plugin?

In reply to: How to make a last updated timestamp?Is there a way to change the last modified date? I just migrated my blog over from another system and all were dated correctly till I modified their categories. Now all my posts have been modified within the last month.

In reply to: Error: ‘invalid argument’ instead of ‘wp_list_pages’I just applied the same ‘comment out the if-statement’ fix and it worked, but then found this: http://mosquito.wordpress.org/view.php?id=934 which in turn links to: http://trac.wordpress.org/changeset/2421 which has links to two replacement files that truly fix the problem and not just a hack.
The files are:
trunk/wp-includes/template-functions-post.php
