Plugin: Elegant Category (in)Visibility

  • Elegant Category (in)Visibility

    This plugin is a more elegant solution to category exclusion. This release is a beta version, so test it out if you’d like, but I can offer no garuntees that it won’t screw things up or even work properly ?? It worked fine in my test bed, but so did miniblog.

    It uses filters to change SELECT queries and only adds only one extra query per page, rather than a few hundred. If this method has been done, post a link to it and disregard this plugin. If not, cool, I’m first.

  • My web server runs in IIS 6 and I have de UTF-8 set character. I am thinking in lot of ways to keep clear the hom of my web but the best is with this plugin but if it is run, the “pages” doesn’t work!!! on 404 Error.

    I am the same guy that over this post. Can any one helsp me? I dont knok what can I do? (I am a simple webdesigner jejeje)

    I tried using your Category (In)Visibility and I got 404 messages. I have tried installing it on m offline test blog and it is working fine. The problem arises when I installed the plugin on my online blog. I have been using gudlyf’s version before that. I must admit, your version is fast. I’ve read the code. Less DB queries.

    I found the solution of my problem with the pages. I change the plugin and I foun a pluging wich can customize the homepages and its too easy. Look it; https://www.semiologic.com/projects/static-front/

    Good luck!

    this broke all my pages, but it was an easy fix. just add:

    if($key == 'page_id' ) return FALSE;

    near the rest of the ifs in the ecg_is_applicable_page function

    i was having similar “page not found” problems myself. the posts were elegantly removed from the pages i requested, but the post pages themselves were not available.

    they all stopped when i removed my permalink structure.
    (was /%year%/%monthnum%/%day%/%postname%/)

    does this plugin only work with the default permalink structure?

    Does anyone know what effect this plugin will have on a Page using multiple loops? Does it only exclude categories from the first instance of the loop, or ?????

    I’m running WP 1.5.1.3 and I’ve just installed the plugin (ECiV 0.1.6). Worked Ok when I only deselected 1 category – but when I deselect 2 from more than just the front page I get the follow db error:

    SELECT COUNT(ID) FROM wp_posts LEFT JOIN wp_post2cat ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_post2cat.post_id) LEFT JOIN wp_categories ON (wp_post2cat.category_id = wp_categories.cat_ID) LEFT JOIN wp_post2cat ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_post2cat.post_id) WHERE 1=1 AND (category_nicename = ‘analyst-feeds’) AND post_date_gmt <= ‘2005-08-13 22:12:59’ AND (post_status = “publish” OR post_author = 1 AND post_status != ‘draft’ AND post_status != ‘static’) AND category_id <> 1 AND category_id <> 2 AND category_id <> 3 AND category_id <> 4 AND category_id <> 5 AND category_id <> 6 AND category_id <> 7 AND category_id <> 8 AND category_id <> 9 AND category_id <> 10 AND category_id <> 11 AND category_id <> 12 AND category_id <> 13 AND category_id <> 14 AND category_id <> 15 AND category_id <> 18

    Any ideas?

    I figured out the problem. This plugin doesn’t work with permalinks – it works very well with standard url structure.

    This plugin does the same thing and seems to be much more reliable

    This improves upon the work done by Gudlyf who is not supporting the plugin anymore:

    It appears this is a version of the plugin that will work in wordpress 2.0+ https://ryowebsite.com/?p=46
