Sometimes indeed the %user_password% shortcut in email notifications is rendered as “both”, which is not the actual password and leads to a very confusing customer experience. * This never occurred prior to WP 4.3. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[wpMandrill] Invalid API Key](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-api-key/) * [otravers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otravers/) * (@otravers) * [13 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/invalid-api-key/#post-3170898) * I’m running into this issue too in my local dev environment which is a Windows 7 PC running the XAMPP stack with PHP 5.3.8. In our staging environment which runs Centos and PHP 5.3.18, the same Mandrill API key was accepted without a hitch. Both WP installs are similar (local dev has a few extra plugins) with WP 3.5 and wpMandrill 1.23. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Contextual Related Posts] [Plugin: Contextual Related Posts] Incompatibility with 3.4.2?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-contextual-related-posts-incompatibility-with-342/) * Thread Starter [otravers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otravers/) * (@otravers) * [14 years ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-contextual-related-posts-incompatibility-with-342/#post-3028387) * It’s a custom theme made in-house. For now we’ve moved related articles within the loop, which restricts our layout options somewhat. You can see it in action at: [http://www.marketingcharts.com/wp/direct/data-dive-us-online-ad-spend-per-user-2000-2011-22956/](http://www.marketingcharts.com/wp/direct/data-dive-us-online-ad-spend-per-user-2000-2011-22956/) * FYI I installed the _Log Deprecated Notices_ WP plugin which returned this about your plugin: * > Argument in add_options_page() > Used in wp-content/plugins/contextual-related- > posts/admin.inc.php on line 346. > Usage of user levels by plugins and themes is deprecated.

Deprecated in version 2.0. * I don’t think it has anything to do with the original topic of this thread but I thought I’d mention it in passing. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Contextual Related Posts] [Plugin: Contextual Related Posts] Incompatibility with 3.4.2?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-contextual-related-posts-incompatibility-with-342/) * Thread Starter [otravers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otravers/) * (@otravers) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-contextual-related-posts-incompatibility-with-342/#post-3028369) * To be more specific on my code, until 3.4.1 the following query, made after having closed the loop, was properly picked up by the echo_ald_crp() function: * ``` $the_query = new WP_Query('p=$thePostID'); $the_query->the_post(); ``` * Since 3.4.2 it looks like echo_ald_crp() is oblivious to the value returned by that query and only works within the loop. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Contextual Related Posts] [Plugin: Contextual Related Posts] Incompatibility with 3.4.2?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-contextual-related-posts-incompatibility-with-342/) * Thread Starter [otravers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otravers/) * (@otravers) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-contextual-related-posts-incompatibility-with-342/#post-3028365) * For maximum flexibility in terms of placement and look & feel, it would be great to have the ability to only retrieve IDs for the related entries and leave everything else to the developer, inside or outside the loop. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Contextual Related Posts] [Plugin: Contextual Related Posts] Incompatibility with 3.4.2?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-contextual-related-posts-incompatibility-with-342/) * Thread Starter [otravers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otravers/) * (@otravers) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-contextual-related-posts-incompatibility-with-342/#post-3028357) * After further tests, I have found that the plugin itself still works, but only when I let it add its content to posts. When I use: * `if(function_exists('echo_ald_crp')) echo_ald_crp();` * I still get the same 5 unrelated entries no matter the displayed post. Does that help? This is not on a live site right now, just in dev, so it’s hard to share a URL. * Edit: I just found that echo_ald_crp() still works for me, but only within the WP loop. I’m pretty sure that until I upgraded from WP 3.4.1 to 3.4.2 I had CRP working for me outside of the loop. * Am I supposed to only use CRP within the loop? This diminished its value as a tool to place related posts wherever you want. Is there a way to put its output into a PHP variable as opposed to directly echo it? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Contextual Related Posts] [Plugin: Contextual Related Posts] Incompatibility with 3.4.2?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-contextual-related-posts-incompatibility-with-342/) * Thread Starter [otravers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otravers/) * (@otravers) * [14 years, 1 month ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/plugin-contextual-related-posts-incompatibility-with-342/#post-3028288) * These entries still exist. I went through a whole cycle of disable/uninstall/ reinstall/reindex and still get the same issue. Where should I look in the database to manually delete the index built by your plugin? * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Get Author ID in PHP Variable when Single Page](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/get-author-id-in-php-variable-when-single-page/) * [otravers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otravers/) * (@otravers) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/get-author-id-in-php-variable-when-single-page/#post-494965) * The method posted by magnus78 worked for me. Is there any way to change it to fetch the author’s first and last name instead of their IDs? * I’ve tried the methods listed [in the help file](http://codex.wordpress.org/Author_Templates#Using_Author_Information) but couldn’t get them to work (in WordPress 2.1). * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [question about the_search_query()](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/question-about-the_search_query/) * Thread Starter [otravers](https://wordpress.org/support/users/otravers/) * (@otravers) * [19 years, 3 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/question-about-the_search_query/#post-586161) * Well, since we’re using a GET search form, I went ahead and used the PHP variable from the URL parameter instead ($s). It still wouldn’t hurt to have more documentation about WordPress search. Viewing 9 replies - 1 through 9 (of 9 total)
