But all I had to do then was quickly bring up query.php, make the change and the search was back to serching on the posts only. * But in this latest 4.7 update the query.php looks completely different and the code oulined above is not present anymore. * I am not a develper either. I had a quick look at my theme’s functions.php file but I didnt see anything obvoius related to search that I can edit. I guess I will have to keep searching for an answer. * Thank you for your help. * Forum: [Reviews](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/reviews/) In reply to: [[Rotating Tweets (Twitter widget and shortcode)] Love this plugin but!](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/love-this-plugin-but-2/) * Thread Starter [trader121](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trader121/) * (@trader121) * [9 years, 7 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/love-this-plugin-but-2/#post-8385108) * Thanks for your help Martin, all the best. * James. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Posts in Subcategories Only](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-in-subcategories-only/) * Thread Starter [trader121](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trader121/) * (@trader121) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-in-subcategories-only/#post-8154156) * No, there are others. Some in sub categories and others in sub sub categories. Its weird. I did have a plugin “Remove Category URL” that I was using but after deactivating this and clearing the cache it is still the same. I will raise a ticket as you have suggested and see what can be done. * Thanks for the help Davood, its much appreciated. * James. * Forum: [Fixing WordPress](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/how-to-and-troubleshooting/) In reply to: [Posts in Subcategories Only](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-in-subcategories-only/) * Thread Starter [trader121](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trader121/) * (@trader121) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/posts-in-subcategories-only/#post-8150017) * Here you go: [http://imgur.com/a/rvLSs](http://imgur.com/a/rvLSs) * See how the “Audio Rippers & Converters” sub cat is under “Audio and MP3 Software” cat? Well if I choose to have a post listed in the sub category, it also displays in the main category above. I’m hoping I am doing something wrong. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Fastest Cache - WordPress Cache Plugin] Database Caching](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-caching-2/) * Thread Starter [trader121](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trader121/) * (@trader121) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-caching-2/#post-8150009) * Sorry, didnt mean to post this one. - This reply was modified 9 years, 9 months ago by [trader121](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trader121/). * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Fastest Cache - WordPress Cache Plugin] Database Caching](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-caching-2/) * Thread Starter [trader121](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trader121/) * (@trader121) * [9 years, 9 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/database-caching-2/#post-8149983) * Oh I see, so not necessary then.

Here is a link to the page where the list will be showing: [http://www.webbsdirectory.co.uk/most-popular-apps/](http://www.webbsdirectory.co.uk/most-popular-apps/) * If you look to the right of the page you will see your plugin displaying “The Top 10 Most Popular Apps” by number of views and it looks good. I would like to show the top 50 on a page in the same style as the widget but with the excerpt included as well. * It would be also great if it had some paging feature that would allow me to show 20 at a time but I’m not sure if I can do that with your plugin. I need to get the spacing right also so that the list looks the same as in the widget. * If you click on any menu item under “windows Software”, you will see the kind of look I’m trying to achieve. * Any help you can give will be most appreciated. * James. * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[WP Fastest Cache - WordPress Cache Plugin] Can I exclude a plugin from being cached?](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-i-exclude-a-plugin-from-being-cached/) * Thread Starter [trader121](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trader121/) * (@trader121) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/can-i-exclude-a-plugin-from-being-cached/#post-6443316) * Sure, here is the link: [http://wp-livechat.com/](http://wp-livechat.com/) * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Affiliates] Updating the Affiliates core FAILED.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updating-the-affiliates-core-failed/) * [trader121](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trader121/) * (@trader121) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updating-the-affiliates-core-failed/page/2/#post-6380375) * Sorry itthinx, I am using the free version and seriously thinking of buying the Pro version, it has a lot of features that I will need, but I need to sort this problem first because if I cant there is no point in buying it. * I’m getting the error “Updating the Affiliates core FAILED.” * I have run debug and getting this error message: WordPress database error Duplicate column name ‘campaign_id’ * So how do I fix it? * Forum: [Plugins](https://wordpress.org/support/forum/plugins-and-hacks/) In reply to: [[Affiliates] Updating the Affiliates core FAILED.](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updating-the-affiliates-core-failed/) * [trader121](https://wordpress.org/support/users/trader121/) * (@trader121) * [10 years, 10 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/updating-the-affiliates-core-failed/#post-6380363) * itthinx! I really don’t understand this. I have been trying to update affiliates Pro and I get: Updating the Affiliates core FAILED. * I have enabled debug and its outputting the following: WordPress database error Duplicate column name ‘campaign_id’ * Why? when updating is it trying to create a column that is already there? * I have updated lots of times with different plugins but I have never experienced this before, surely the update would include code to deal with this type of problem. Is this what I am going to get every time I try to apply an update? * We need a proper solution to this problem without having to delete all the data and install again. * James.
