Just checking, if you change the theme to something else (like TwentyThirteen) and then post via XMPP, do new posts show up as they should?

Because if they are not, it may be a problem with your XMPP plugin rather than P2.

I suppose the “P2 Recent Comments” widget shows threads that have been comment-bumped.

Your best bet for a search box is a widget. Head over to Appearance – Widgets, then find the Search Widget and drag it into the sidebar (top position looks best I find).

You could do the same with the Archives widget. Also look into the P2 Recent Tags widget, which will display the last xx used tags in the sidebar, nicely formatted. Clicking on such a tag will generate a tags archive page.

Hi Chris,

take a look at /inc/ajax.php – at the very bottom there’s a block that inserts the post. By default it looks like this:


$post_id = wp_insert_post( array(
'post_author' => $user_id,
'post_title' => $post_title,
'post_content' => $post_content,
'post_type' => 'post',
'tags_input' => $tags,
'post_status' => 'publish'
) );


In post_type you can change this to your heart’s content. You can even add other attributes as described here: http://codex.wordpress.org/Function_Reference/wp_insert_post

For example, you could change this to ‘post_type’ => ‘page’, and then all posts will become pages. Note those won’t show up on the front page of course.

To limit this change only to status updates, wrap the block into an if/then statement, like so:


if ($post_format == 'status') {
$post_id = wp_insert_post( array(
'post_author' => $user_id,
'post_title' => $post_title,
'post_content' => $post_content,
'post_type' => 'page',
'tags_input' => $tags,
'post_status' => 'publish'
) );

} else {
$post_id = wp_insert_post( array(
'post_author' => $user_id,
'post_title' => $post_title,
'post_content' => $post_content,
'post_type' => 'post',
'tags_input' => $tags,
'post_status' => 'publish'
) );
}

Hope this helps!

Same issue here.

@esmi
Not sure what you mean – surely you don’t expect 6 different people to post the same topic in the same forum saying the same thing, when all we want is to be notified when this issue may be resolved.

You need to install Thesis 1.8.5 or later for this problem to get fixed. Thesis does not automatically tell you that an update is available, nor does it apply them via one-click like other themes that are hosted on WordPress.org. Head over to DIYthemes.com and follow the instructions to upgrade.

My site is running Thesis 1.8.5, here’s a link with working captions:

Thanks for letting us know Nacin, think we were getting worried there 😉 I understand the code change, makes sense to allow for HTML in captions.

I’ve just tested the two latest versions of TwentyTen and TwetyEleven, they’re both looking good. Thesis have released a patch for this too.

@caseylessard you best get in touch with the Headway guys and make them aware of this change in WordPress.

Hi liexistudio,

no problem about the lack of experience – we’ve all been there, trust me 😉

Go to where and how you normally create a new post (or amend an existing one), it’s the Edit Post window. At the top right of your text editing window there are two tabs: Visual and HTML. You’re probably in the Visual Editor most of the time for typing text and inserting images. When you click on HTML you’ll see the code that WordPress generates in the background.

Once you’ve added an image with caption, click on the HTML tab and find a code section beginning with [caption… ] and ending with [/caption], just like I said above, and as Rosie-L suggested.

Any questions, let us know.
