    Okay, I installed the Hotfix plugin and it appears to have resolved the incorrect badge number issue. So hopefully whatever it fixed gets resolved in WP 3.3.2

    I can get the plugin Youtube Feeder to work but don’t like its layout as it’s more complex. Something is preventing Youtube Videos from pulling in the feed.

    It’s not a DreamHost problem something is conflicting somewhere. 🙁

    I still can’t figure this out.

    Again, this works fine on my development site but not on my actual site.

    Here are a couple of screen captures. Exact same Youtube Videos settings.

    I had this happen to me while on an aircard. The Visual/HTML tab came back when I got back to a broadband connection. I think something doesn’t get loaded properly in low bandwidth situations. I’ve seen this happen before with other aspects of WordPress.

    @swansonphotos is trying to be cheeky but in the world of social media the shortlink is needed as Twitter will automatically create their own shortlink if the URL is too long so either way a shortlink will be created. Better to keep the domain branding then have it lost in some Twitter t.co shortlink.

    You can get the shortlink back by installing this plugin: http://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/reenable-shortlink-item-in-admin-toolbar/

    I too use the shortlink a lot as it allows for posting a shorter link with domain name branding in Twitter and elsewhere. My site has a short domain name so most often there is no need for URL shorteners if the shortlink is used.

    The side benefit of using the native shortlink instead of using the longer permalink or someone else’s shortlink is that if I find an error with the title (spelling, corrections) after publishing I can change the title, corresponding permalink and the short link will still work. Without the shortlink the automatically shortened Twitter links are all broken and I have to do a 301 redirect.

    I noticed that I loose the Visual/HTML tabs when I’m in a lower bandwidth environment. Same for both Safari/Chrome on Mac OSX Lion. So when I’m mobile on an air card I loose it, when at home on broadband it’s there. Or maybe it’s just the carrier, AT&T? I’ve had similar problems before with other aspects of visiting a WordPress site from the client side when on my CDMA air card.

    I posted the start of this thread above just in case anyone else had come across this problem. I had my parter attempt to replicate what she did to cause the problem via a new post on a test site we have but it posted fine with no errors. Here’s the actual website we run. It’s not a blog so we don’t have a lot of time to stop and experiment with test posts on it: http://www.hawaii247.com

    I don’t think she replicated her steps exactly to try to cause the problem again.

    At this time I’m going to mark this as resolved as I consider it to be some kind of fluke.

    Note that I’m about 100 miles away from my partner who came across this problem on our website, it’s not like I can walk up to her and ask her to show me the steps she did. Also when I posted the start of this thread it was about 1 a.m. in the morning and I was about ready to go to sleep after a long day.

    If we come across this issued again I’ll repost with some screen captures and maybe some screen video. It’s unlikely we’d leave some awful formatted post on our site just so folks can look at it for hours to dissect.

    Re-read the second to the last line. I was able to clear the issue for that post thus there is no link to show the erroneous post. That is why we are going to attempt to replicate the issue, then I’ll leave it be and post a link.

    Delete the index.html file. If you have both the index.php and index.html file your site will default to using the index.html file. Or you could just rename that file by taking out the period or changing it to a dash.

    A big problem with the sitemaps is that some posts I have are UserGenerated and some are PressRelease and others are Opinion.

    This plugin only allows a blanket genre for all posts, not post specific 🙁

    Okay, tried modifying the code, still doesn’t quite work. Here’s what I come up with.

    For functions.php

    //START Custom Taxonomy for Genres
    add_action( 'init', 'create_my_genres' );
    function create_my_genres() {
     $labels = array(
        'name' => _x( 'Genres', 'taxonomy general name' ),
        'singular_name' => _x( 'Genre', 'taxonomy singular name' ),
        'search_items' =>  __( 'Search Genres' ),
        'all_items' => __( 'All Genres' ),
        'parent_item' => __( 'Parent Genre' ),
        'parent_item_colon' => __( 'Parent Genre:' ),
        'edit_item' => __( 'Edit Genre' ),
        'update_item' => __( 'Update Genre' ),
        'add_new_item' => __( 'Add New Genre' ),
        'new_item_name' => __( 'New Genre' ),
      ); 	
    
    register_taxonomy('genre', 'post', array(
      'hierarchical' => true,
      'labels' => $labels
    ));
    }
    //END Custom Taxonomy for Genres

    And for the plugin file:

    //START GENRES
    	        $xmlOutput.= "\t\t\t<news:genres>";
    		$xmlOutput.= strip_tags( get_the_term_list( $post->ID, 'genre', '', '', '' ) );
    		$xmlOutput.= "</news:genres>\n";
    		//END GENRES

    It now pulls Genres and outputs without the hyperlinking. The problem is that it isn’t post specific and it just pulls the genre for the last published post, tagging every single post with that genre in the sitemap.

    Still stumped. I tried contacting the plugin author with no response which is why I tried taking this on myself.
