   the false alarm. Will post the link to my site in another day or two…

 * Update: There is a actually a pretty big issue with my WP 2.62/TDO 11.1 setup…
   when I attempt to use more than one custom field… they all return the value of
   custom field #1. I have tried tweaking, reinstalling, and other tricks, but can
   only get results appended to the post from one custom field. Still, its stable
   now, even with loads of other other plugins installed.

 * Update: rather than throw away 2 weeks of work, I started fresh with WP 2.6.2
   and TDO 11.1
 * Amazingly, I was done in less than an hour and all seems fine. No apparent plugin
   conflicts with ACE and Wassup… major crashing with Headspace (removed it)… also
   currently running Login redirects, Register plus, WP-Cumulus, and XML Sitemaps).
 * In this configuration, I did notice that 11.1 doesn’t does not allow you to order
   the categories for dropdowns and it seems to interfere with a random image javascript
   that was running okay on the same pages with with v12. These are minor things
   I can live with.
 * Another note- widget functionality ceased in WP 2.6.2/TDO 12 the instant you 
   touched the form hacker. Certainly that was not intended? Widgets seem to work
   fine (be reconfigurable) in WP 2.6.2/TDO 11.1
 * So I am stuck with a somewhat limited/limiting version of 11.1 for now… but its
   stable with ACE and Wassup which are critical to my site and does what I need
   it to do. Not to be presumptive, but something tells me TDO 12 might have to 
   be seriously rebuilt beginning with the major differences between v11 and v12.
   I for one would lose functionality to gain stabilty in every case.
 * Version 12 is such as tease. When it becomes stable, I’ll never have any reason
   to use the WP interface to publish my posts or pages.

 * By the way the plugins, that caused the most conflicts with TDO were ACE, Headspace,
   Contact Form 7, and Wassup. I cannot live without Wassup and it caused the most
   conflicts.

 * Sorry, but I am giving up. I spent well over 100 hours trying different combinations
   of plugins and different configurations before coming to the conclusion that 
   TDO is totally unsuitable for WordPress 2.6+
 * It was a never ending saga of 500 errors, blank manage pages, blank plugin pages,
   blank widget pages, and forms that work one day and don’t work the next.
 * The backend is too tedious to keep recreating forms that become corrupted by 
   various plugin combinations. No plugin has ever caused me anywhere near the grief
   TDO has. I gambled two weeks worth of round the clock work hoping to build a 
   forum out of WP 2.6 and this plugin and lost. Don’t let the same thing happen
   to you.
 * Don’t get me wrong, the plugin probably works fine in earler version of WP but
   don’t bother if you want to build a serious WP 2.6 site around this plugin.

 * Update: I moved WordPress to the root (it had been in a subdirectory) and Stealth
   apparently created its own .htaccess file… says it is updated… but never seems
   to work.
 * The .htaccess file just reads:
 * # BEGIN WordPress# END WordPress
 * I have changed the file permissions to allow read/write/execute access for everyone(
   777) on this file, and refreshed/retried several but the plugin still isn’t working.
 * Its says: Settings saved and .htaccess file updated.
 * But there is no .htaccess Output at the bottom
 * What is going on?
