And I think I’ve done that:

<?php if (strpos($post->post_content, ‘–>’)) : ?>
<?php $aftermore = 3 + strpos($post->post_content, ‘–>’);
echo substr($post->post_content,$aftermore);
?>
<?php endif; ?>

Apparently there’s some mysterious drug interaction that causes the time setting part of the form to not work properly on some WP installations. A friend of mine with three different WP blogs found it missing on two of them, present on a third. We didn’t determine what particular plug-in, theme, etc. was the problem.

We did come up with a solution, however, though it involves digging into WP tables (e.g., with phpMyAdmin) – in particular the wp_options table.

The Twitter Tools fields are prefixed with aktt_.

Ignore the aktt_digest_daily_time field.

Note that the aktt_next_daily_digest field and aktt_last_digest_post fields are apparently both serial counts, by seconds, from some past time mark. If you subtract the two, then divide by 60 (seconds in a minute) and again by 60 (minutes in an hour), you come up with 23.9999s. So 24 hours, which is what you’d expect between the two of them, right?

So to change the interval from whatever time TT is firing off with a daily digest, we need to tweak the aktt_next_daily_digest field. Take the hours you want the next post to be later or earlier, and multiply x60×60. So 2 hours would be 2×60×60=7200 (seconds). Add (subtract) that from the value in aktt_next_daily_digest to make it later (earlier) that many hours. Replace the value in the database.

It may require a few tries to get just the time you want. But if you’re having this problem, it’s the only way to resolve it short of a lot of lengthy testing to see what’s interacting badly with TT.
