I’ve used it to show links to a category’s last 5 entries.

You may then insert the post_nav_link function in your index.php page and it will insert “Next page/previous page”. [http://wiki.wordpress.org/posts_nav_link](http://wiki.wordpress.org/posts_nav_link) For more information on the posts_nav_link function. My site uses something similar. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Where did my catergories go?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/where-did-my-catergories-go/) * [Silver](https://wordpress.org/support/users/silver/) * (@silver) * [21 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/where-did-my-catergories-go/#post-74720) * This happened to me a month ago. The box that contained all my categories would not show unless I minimized my screen first. It was strange and I thought that the problem may be with the CSS file for WP. I uploaded the file again and it has worked fine for me. I don’t know if you are experiencing a similar problem to mine. Hopefully someone more versed in WP will be able to help you. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Exclude categories in dropdown_cats](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-categories-in-dropdown_cats/) * [Silver](https://wordpress.org/support/users/silver/) * (@silver) * [21 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/exclude-categories-in-dropdown_cats/#post-70427) * Sorry.

When I went onto the #wordpress irc, fargon mentioned that there was a bug in functions.php and he provided me with the fix. He also mentioned that it was a problem with spam words. When I uploaded the new functions. php, I still experienced the error. A minute ago I decided to remove my spam words list from WP and see what happened. I made a test comment on my site and didn’t receive the error. It seems that something on the list of spam words I was using was causing the error. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Compilation failed error after posting comment](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compilation-failed-error-after-posting-comment/) * Thread Starter [Silver](https://wordpress.org/support/users/silver/) * (@silver) * [21 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/compilation-failed-error-after-posting-comment/#post-70098) * Thanks for the tip. I’ll be sure to drop by later. I’m probably going to get dizzy from trying to figure this out. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Links Dropdown](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/links-dropdown/) * [Silver](https://wordpress.org/support/users/silver/) * (@silver) * [21 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/links-dropdown/#post-68304) * I actually created a plugin to use get_links( ) in a drop down menu. I can’t recall if I used the same parameters as the original get_links( ). I may have taken out some of the parameters that I didn’t want to use for my plugin. Right now, the plugin can organize links by Category ID. You may also choose the order by which the links are organized (name, ID, URL, Description and random). You may also limit the number of links shown in the dropdown menu. I am using the plugin to organize two different categories of links (“Favorite Sites” and “WP Plugins – Thank you”) on my site. I don’t know if this is what you’re looking for but you are welcome to check out the plugin: [http://typedby.com/archives/2004/06/14/drop-down-plugin-for-wp-links-manager/](http://typedby.com/archives/2004/06/14/drop-down-plugin-for-wp-links-manager/) * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [In search of a working category list dropdown](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/in-search-of-a-working-category-list-dropdown/) * [Silver](https://wordpress.org/support/users/silver/) * (@silver) * [21 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/in-search-of-a-working-category-list-dropdown/#post-67084) * I didn’t experience a runtime error when I went to the link you specified in the above post (your site). However, I did notice that you used onChange=”MM_jumpMenu(‘ parent’,this,0)” within the jump menu code for your Category Drop Down menu but when I viewed the source for the page the Javascript code that Beel provided to you (above) was missing. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Restricted access posts](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restricted-access-posts/) * Thread Starter [Silver](https://wordpress.org/support/users/silver/) * (@silver) * [21 years, 11 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/restricted-access-posts/#post-53738) * Thank you! I’ve been look at WP and though I’m a novice compared to others, I’ve found my way around it. The cookie thing would be nice but I’m definitely open to new ideas. I took a look at what davidchait wrote in this post: [http://wordpress.org/support/4/1997](http://wordpress.org/support/4/1997) about having certain posts viewable by users with a certain level. I’m having trouble with the code snippet he has in that post. I keep receiving a parse error. I’ll keep at it. I know I’m missing something that’s probably really simple. lol Viewing 13 replies - 1 through 13 (of 13 total)
