In reply to: Custom taxonomy add button jumpsI just ran into this as well, but not with a taxonomy with the same name as the post type. The post type for me is “videos”, but the taxonomy was, again, “equipment”.
Has “equipment” become a reserved word, intentionally or otherwise?

In reply to: [WP Super Cache] [Plugin: WP Super Cache] Is SSL messing up my cache?Donncha,
Thanks very much for your replies. I have just a few simple questions that I want to wrap up right here so I can stop bugging you. I’m a self-service sort of guy, but I haven’t been able to find the answers out there.
- Does WPSC go through my site procedurally when creating cache files, starting with the “first” blog and going through to the last one, every [expiry time] seconds?
- Does the number of requests for a particular page affect how frequently it’s cached?
- Is there any other sort of prioritizing of some types of content (like home pages) over others?
I’m still confused as to why a request for the same content over https pulls a different cached file than when it’s viewed over http, but my main goal is just to be able to tell my users: “hey, stop refreshing the page! These are the factors the cache considers, and your updates will appear no later than X (hours? minutes? days?) depending on X.”
Some have reported content more than 24 hours out of date, and I just want to understand a little better what could be at play there.
Again, thank you.

In reply to: [WP Super Cache] [Plugin: WP Super Cache] Is SSL messing up my cache?Sorry, I should have mentioned it is in half-on mode. I suffered from 500 errors in full on mode.
Unfortunately supercache files don’t differentiate between ssl and non ssl urls. The protocol isn’t saved so the files are shown to every user.
Well, actually… that’s good isn’t it? I was trying to figure out if SSL was the reason why users would be fed an outdated cache file when a newer one was available.

In reply to: [WP Super Cache] [Plugin: WP Super Cache] Is SSL messing up my cache?Donncha,
Thanks for your reply. My main concern, though, is the cache building process itself. If the tester alone is going to work over https, no biggie.
However, my concern is that if the actual cache is building over https and http (and I think it is because you can see a different cache by requesting the frontend over https), it’s working way harder than I want it to.
I think this is also the reason why visitors on the insecure host are getting way outdated files when newer ones are available: because the newer files will only display to https requests.
Am I correct here?

In reply to: [Plugin: WP Super Cache] How can I get WPSC working on my setup?Hi, it’s me again.
Well I’ve since launched my site and WP Super cache has been doing a decent job, even in half-on mode.
However, I’m still wondering about how it is handling my multi-network multisite install. It seems to be affecting all my sites on all networks, as they all have the comments appended to the footer, but I’ll frequently hear about updates that are still not being displayed more than 24 hours later (my expiry time is set to 300 seconds).
I can see new cached files being added to the cache directory, but for some reason they are ignored until I manually delete the old ones.
I’m thinking a couple of things could be at play here. First of all my install is made up of 30 networks with over 250 sites. Each network has its own plugin settings. Currently, I have it network activated only on the root blog on the root network, but now I’m wondering if maybe I should have it network activated on every network, or—Matt forbid—every site?
Also, I’m forcing SSL admin sessions, and it seems that Super Cache is caching the site on through both the secure and unsecure channels. Should I force the public site onto standard http with additional .htaccess rules, and will that work on WPSC?
Ultimately, I feel like I don’t really fully understand how WPSC functions well enough to work these things out in my head, and I’d like to tell people more definitively when their content will be viewable. Resources seem to be slim about configuring the plugin for 3.0, and absent completely for my unique circumstances. Can anyone shed some light on what could be going on?

In reply to: Siteurl and home rows are getting altered in the DBErf… Andrea I was hoping if anyone would know it would be you!
I’ve cross-posted it here.
Please someone give me some insight, this is very troubling! It happened again just this morning on a site that was working fine yesterday and hasn’t been messed with since!

In reply to: Can you Share Users Between Multi Sites?There is a central pool of users in a MS install. If you want to give a user access to a different blog, log in as Super Admin to the dashboard of that blog, click on Super Admin->Users->Edit (under the appropriate user).
Select the desired role from the “Role” drop-down menu, and click “Update Profile”.
Your user will then have the new site added to their “My Sites” page of their dashboard.

In reply to: Can I get all user-created menus at once?Anything patently stupid about doing it this way?
<?php $menus = get_terms( 'nav_menu', array( 'hide_empty' => true ) ); foreach ( $menus as $menu ): ?> <ul class="menu-class"> <a href="#" class="menu-title"><?php echo $menu->name; ?></a> <?php wp_nav_menu(array('menu' => $menu));?> </ul> <?php endforeach; ?>Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Plugin: WP Super Cache] How can I get WPSC working on my setup?This was a 3.0 install from the beginning.
So something that I’ve just discovered: When WPSC is enabled, non-logged in users are only getting the Internal Server Error page.
Also, trying to do a cache test results in “Fatal error: Cannot use object of type WP_Error as array in /var/www/wp-content/plugins/wp-super-cache/wp-cache.php on line 474”

In reply to: Using 3.0b1 menus for multisite navigationSorry, I guess I a follow-up is in order!
switch_to_blog() is indeed alive and well in 3.0.
It did not do exactly what I wanted, as I planned to use menus in widget mode for ease of administration, and you can’t load a widget area via switch_to_blog().
However, loading them via wp_nav_menu() did work, and only cost the ability to easily change menu order. All in all, it was a good compromise.
Thanks for the help!

In reply to: Using 3.0b1 menus for multisite navigationTo me, it seems that menus—which are likely to contain navigation—should be handled in the same way as plugins, which have an “activate” and “network activate” options.
you may be better off doing this via a functions.php file in the parent, have THAT control the menu.
Care to elaborate on that? I mean, I am currently using widget areas and navigation menu widgets. The widget area is declared in the functions.php file, but the corresponding widgets are only available to the blog in which they were created.

In reply to: Using 3.0b1 menus for multisite navigationCan’t there be a way to do this programmatically in the theme? To temporarily step out of the current blog and load a menu as if it were a different blog, then back again?
Something like WPMU’s switch_to_blog() function?
I realize that the menu wouldn’t appear in admin… that’s actually the desired effect: all of the functionality, none of the control 😉
Obviously, this would require sub-sites to use a child theme; that is no problem.

In reply to: How to highlight the homepage using the new menu tool ?Well you should be able to target a specific menu easily enough with CSS. You can then make the home page the first item in the menu, and use the :first-child pseudo class to apply a style to only the first li.

In reply to: 3.0 Image editor missing on Debian hostOf course, after posting, the very next package I thought was worth a try is the one that worked.
php5-gd solved it, for the record.
