Sarah,

Quick follow up – your code worked perfectly.

Thanks again,

Steve

Hi Sarah,

Perhaps kplusplus was having a similar problem to one I’m having:

In WordPress versions prior to 3.3.1, the following returned the Page Menu Label:

$menuName = get_post_meta ($the_page_id, 'menulabel', true);

Now, since updating to 3.3.1, it returns nil;

Cheers,

Steve

Hi Craig,

Did you get anywhere with this? I’ve recently had a similar idea, except I want to take an LSI-grouped keyword list, create a silo category structure and populate it with unpublished empty articles with the keywords as the titles.

I’m thinking XML-RPC.

Cheers,

Steve

Hi askapache,

Thanks for supplying the contact info (wasn’t able to use the webmaster contact form on your site – it gives a not-authorized error). And thanks for continuing to support your great plugin.

I upgraded to 4.6.1 – it still fails the tests – see below.

Also, it looks like your fix with the rtrim of ‘/’ is along the right path but the tests still create a wp-content directory in my root directory.

Let me know what I can do to help with debugging.

Best regards,

Steve

ps. (repeated from another thread) Re mod_auth_digest my host, Hostmonster has stated that they will never enable mod_auth_digest. I explained the issue and escalated it it higher and higher support levels to no avail. Also, I’ve seen some recommendations elsewhere to leave the mod_auth_digest disabled.

pps. Here is summarized debug output showing just the failed tests (with two exceptions. Note, auth domain looks funny and has to do with the mysterious wp-content directory.

File Permission Tests
If any of these checks fail this plugin will not work. Both your /.htaccess and /wp-admin/.htaccess files must be writable for this plugin, those are the only 2 files this plugin absolutely must be able to modify. If any of the other checks fail you will need to manually create a folder named askapache in your /wp-content/ folder and make it writable.

[fail ] /wp-admin/.htaccess file writable
[pass] /wp-admin/.htaccess file writable

[ fail] .htaccess files allowed

HTTP Digest Authentication
Now we know the encryption and apache module capabilities of your site. This test literally logs in to your server using Digest Authenticationts, providing the ultimate answer as to if your server supports this scheme.

[fail ] Major bummer… you don’t have mod_auth_digest! (included in apache since 1.1)
