Correction to my comment above – I do now see the semi-transparent box on each page.

Cold Cache Hits stays at: 2
Warm Cache Hits increases by about 4-5 each page load.
Cache Misses: mostly stays at 15, occasionally drops to 13-14.
Loaded data: 12 pages (what I would expect).

However, /wp-content/cache/ remains empty.

Ok, I’ve enabled the cache in wp-config.php

No change – cache directory stays empty.

I installed your plugin westi, but I don’t see:

a small semi-transparent box in the top right hand corner of the page

I do now have a page at Manage > Cache, but the only content is a button to ‘Clear the Cache’.

I understand about the security issue, but need to troubleshoot first.

When I try alphaoide’s suggestion I get the full text of each post with no break at <!–more–>.

That plug-in looks useful for lots of other things Moshu, thanks for the tip!

samboll, I know how to make the home.php method work, but in this case the client does NOT want the Blog index on the homepage at all – he wants to see it when you click the link “Blog” or “News”. He also wants to to be able to edit the homepage via the normal Page admin interface.

It still seems to me that it is NOT possible to have a WP-editable static homepage AND and normal Blog index as an internal page correctly using the more tag.

So is this correct?

If you use WordPress as a CMS and need to have a WP-editable static homepage, you will never be able to see the normal blog front page, and the <!– more–> tag becomes redundant.

If nobody contradicts this (and I’m hoping somebody will), I’ll add a warning to the Codex.

As it happens, I have found a workaround that I think I can live with. This mini-loop outputs an unordered list of a configurable number of posts, with a short excerpt.


<?php

$posts = get_posts('numberposts=10');
foreach ($posts as $post) :
if ($title_was_printed == false) {$title_was_printed = true; print "<h2>Latest Blog Entries</h2>";}
?>
<ul>
<li><small><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?></small><br />
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a><br /><?php the_excerpt(); ?>
</li></ul>
<?php
endforeach;
if ($title_was_printed == true) {
?>
<?php } ?>

Sorry, the second sentence in my question should read:

But when I load the example.com/blog/ page…

Your hack works for me too Kinkistyle, thanks heaps!

I’m using the 1.5.1-Alpha version of WP that Dr Dave packaged for Spam Karma 2.

No other obvious problems.

I can see get_currentuserinfo () in pluggable-functions.php, but whether it is faulty or not is beyond my ability to assess.

Where can I find a newer version?
