These are the steps that are listed, which one is critical to me being able to get this plugin to work without having those new icons show up next to new posts/comments.
Step 1. Put the wp-last-visit.php file in your wp-content/plugins/ directory.
Step 2. Enable the plugin in your options.Click on ‘Plugins’ in the admin area, then ‘Activate’ next to the WP Grins row.
Step 3. Add this line within the <head> tags of your index.php and wp-comments-popup.php pages.
<?php require(bloginfo(‘url;’).’/wp-content/plugins/wp-last-visit.php?type=js’); ?>
Step 4. Add some code to show the number of new posts and comments since your last visit
<script type=”text/javascript”>slvBanner();</script>
Step 5. Add some code to show the new indicator next to each post (index.php)
<script type=”text/javascript”>slvShowNewIndicator(<?php print(mysql2timestamp($post->post_date)); ?>);</script>
Step 6. Add some code to show the new indicator next to each comment (wp-comments.php and wp-comments-popup.php)
<script type=”text/javascript”>slvShowNewIndicator(<?php print(mysql2timestamp($comment->comment_date)); ?>);</script>
Step 7.To show if there are new comments on a post from the link to the comments for that post, replace the comments_popup_link() in the posts loop with ak_comments_popup_link()
Step 8.Put the ‘ak-img’ directory in your blog root, you can set the indicator you want (or use a text indicator) by modifying this code in wp-last-visit.php
// var slvIndicator = ‘New’;
var slvIndicator = ‘<img src=”<?php echo $siteurl ?>/ak-img/new.gif” alt=”New” title=”New since your last visit.” />’;
remove the “//” from the first line and put it on the second line to use the text indicator.
When I did it, I only did steps 1-4, which other steps are needed?
