Fernando, I’m sorry to just tag onto the end of this thread, but I can’t seem to get to your forum for the plugin (fatal PHP error) and the comments on the plugin page itself don’t even display, so I can’t leave a comment there.
I discovered something that you probably want to look into for future versions, and that relates to password-protected posts. I had a password-protected post, and yet your plugin went ahead and displayed the excerpt on the front page without the password being entered. Kind of defeats the point of a password being required 😉
I managed to get around it by specifically excluding that post’s ID, but thought I’d bring it to your attention.
Thanks!

In reply to: Google Cache Gone CrazyNot sure why it is, but the way Google displays the cached sites seems to lend itself to this messy looking display. (My blog doesn’t even display anything but the banner picture in Google’s cached display!!)
I’m pretty certain it doesn’t affect ranking, though, because I still get lots of referrals from Google, even though none of the text of my blog displays in the cached version. The source is all there (which is all Google’s computers, or any computer for that matter! work with), but the CSS stuff gets really messed up.

In reply to: Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_STRINGDid you do any customizations to the main index template? This error often signifies some kind of unclosed (or unopened) quotes, or a missing semi-colon, or some other PHP malformed code.

In reply to: Everything points to my web siteIf you’re reinstalling WordPress, this would be a prime chance to go ahead and set it up in a different directory. Create a “/blog” directory (or some other such directory name) and install WP to THAT directory. Then the problem may go away.

In reply to: Moving WP broke my blogHmmmm, I’m stumped. I hope someone else will see this and be able to figure out what you need to do.
I’m sorry I wasn’t able to help more! 🙁

In reply to: how to get to top cat id in an arrayI don’t think it’s possible with template tags (although I don’t understand why not). I see no parameters that allow you to just pull top-level categories.
But the MySQL query would look something like:
SELECT cat_ID FROM wp_categories WHERE category_parent = 0
Note that in WP2.1 or greater, this will also retrieve categories for your blogrolls since they rolled that into the wp_categories table in Ella.
If you want to eliminate those, you would have to a bit more complicated query with joins to another table or two. Do you need that, too?

In reply to: Moving WP broke my blogYou said that you went to FTP and moved all the files over. Did you move the files that were in the root directory, or just the wp-content, wp-admin, and wp-includes directories? The files that are not showing up are files that need to be in the root directory of the blog (in your case, they need to be moved from your domain’s www directory to your new /blog subdirectory).

In reply to: how to get to top cat id in an arrayI’m not entirely sure I understand what you’re asking. Are you saying you want an array with just the top categories? And are you asking for the MySQL query to obtain that?

In reply to: Removing TitleSorry for the slow reply. I’m not aware of any easy way to remove just one category, but you can call the individual categories separately to display the ones you want (not ideal, I know).

In reply to: Removing TitleEdit your sidebar and comment out (or delete) the function that gets the links.

In reply to: Turning off Post Preview in 2.1http://asymptomatic.net/…/two-dinky-but-useful-wordpress-plugins references a “Kill Preview” plugin, but I am unable to find out for sure if it’s compatible with 2.1
This would be much more preferable to editing the post-new.php file, in my very humble opinion! 🙂

In reply to: Need Drop Down Selection BoxCan you give some more specifics on the requirements? How would the pages within the drop-down be determined? Depending on how dynamic it is, it might be fairly easy to do.
