That’s an insanely restrictive setup you have there. “fopen, fwrite, fread, file” all forbidden? “mail” forbidden? You really need to contact them and get them to lift some of those restrictions. You’re not going to be able to do much if you can’t even read files.

You can look at $comment_count_cache[$post->ID] for that. It should be populated for you.

You would enter it in the <div id="header">...</div> section

georgianlady, Thanks for bringing this issue up. I discovered the problem last night, thanks to your bug report. The problem has been solved in SVN.

Until WordPress 1.5.1, here’s what you need to do to secure your blog against future password changes.

Request a new password for all your WP users using the “Forgot your password?” link on the login form. Each user will get an e-mail. Do not click the link in the e-mail, just delete it. If you do this for every user, you will no longer have any problems.

Stop. Drop. /wp-admin/upgrade.php

I had the same problem. There was an option for html_type added right before 1.5 launch. This designates how pages are sent, and if the option isn’t there, IE will try to download pages. Run the upgrade, and you’ll be fine.

Remember, you should do this EVERY TIME you upgrade. I got lazy and figured nothing changed that needed an upgrade. I was wrong. So do it every time. I’ve learned my lesson.

Just use <?php the_excerpt(); ?> in your test.php file. If an excerpt doesn’t exist, WP will create one. get_the_excerpt() is a function that returns, so it won’t do anything useful by itself.

You were likely doing this:

echo $post->the_excerpt;

Which grabs the specified excerpt. You have to use the_excerpt() function to have it make one in case you haven’t provided one.

Looks like you could hook in at do_action(‘trackback_post’, $wpdb->insert_id);
You could either grab the info from the DB, or use the global that should still be floating around… $comment_content, I think.
