Oh jeeze, that was my last solution… and I went through a series of tests with other code before officially trying that one, and it worked.

Thanks 🙂

RESOLVED!

I stopped trying to run into the brick wall, found the doorway, and it was through ending the first loop from the main post before beginning a new independent and refreshed comment loop. It worked!

Here is my final code:

<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<h2><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title_attribute(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
<p class="postmetadata"><?php the_time('m.d.y') ?> - <?php the_tags('Tags: ', ', ', '<br />'); ?> Posted in <?php the_category(', ') ?> | <?php edit_post_link('Edit', '', ' | '); ?>  <?php comments_popup_link('No Comments »', '1 Comment »', '% Comments »'); ?></p>
<div class="post_entry">
<?php the_content('read more &raquo;'); ?>
<?php wp_link_pages(); ?>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>

<?php rewind_posts(); ?>
<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
<div id="comments">
<?php comments_template(); // Get wp-comments.php template ?>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<div class="navigation">
<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&laquo; Older Entries') ?></div>
<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('Newer Entries &raquo;') ?></div>
</div>
<?php else : ?>
<h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
<p class="center">Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here.</p>
<?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/searchform.php"); ?>
<?php endif; ?>
</div>

Awesome! Thanks!

Ahhhh! I figured it out!

Ok, I searched around on Kaf’s blog and found a comment about changing some code around in the plugin. The comment linked to this post on a forum:
WordPress Post Images/Icons

I followed the instructions in the post, and it worked. The plugin now works for pages!

So for anyone who runs into the same problem as I did, there’s the solution.

Oh my goodness… it just worked!

I’m not sure what it was, but there are two possibilities:

1. The internet connection- I relocated to a different internet connection, and issue may have been associated with that particular connection. I also tried a different computer and different browser at the old location, both resulting in the same issue.
2. The server- I am developing on a shared server, and this limits the ability to reset the server and etc. Maybe this was the issue, I needed a refresh.

Also worth noting, maybe it is a combination of the two. Anyhow, I just wanted to post a follow-up and update. In the future, maybe someone will find this “vague diagnostic” useful.

Fingers uncrossed and getting ready to have a glass of wine…

Now I too widely know 🙂

Great feedback, thank you.

A work around is to select both the subcategory and it’s parent when posting.

Thanks again Moshu, you have helped me many times.

Sincerely,

OK, I found the solution. I was doing test posts with categories that had only one post in them. By taking away “offset=1” everything works fine. So the solution is:

$myposts = get_posts('numberposts=2&&category=1');
 foreach($myposts as $post) :
 ?>
    <li><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a> --- <?php the_excerpt_reloaded(15, '', 'none', TRUE, '', FALSE, 2); ?></li>
 <?php endfor

Now I have an additional question. I have some sub categories, and I noticed that this function doesn’t seem to include the posts of those sub-categories when selecting a parent id, e.g., category 1 is the parent to categories 3 & 4, and when I enter category “1” into the code above, I am not given the posts from categories 3 & 4… like a category page works. Instead I am given only those that are specifically filed under category 1. Any idea on how we can modify the code to work accordingly?

Thanks,
Orion
