I’m back. I deleted the problem cell and re-entered the data, and it sorts correctly now. Thanks again.

Sorry! Actually, that’s not a good example, as it looks like it is sorting correctly. The problem is on a post I’m writing, and I’m not sure that it is a text vs number problem — it’s mostly sorting correctly, but one entry is out of order. When I post it I’ll let you know — please ignore this for the moment. Sorry again.

I’ve found the problem: it’s the function tinyforge_the_title_trim in functions.php, specifically this line:

$title = esc_attr($title);

Which makes sense. If I comment out the whole function or just that line, then html in titles is not escaped and works as it should. (The function still seems to work without that line, maybe it is not necessary?)

A quick update: after testing on a vanilla WP blog, I can confirm that html in post/page titles works in Tiny Forge 1.5.2-3, but not in 1.5.4 (I was wrong in my OP, I must have been on 1.5.2-3). I can also confirm that the WP version has no effect.

Thanks for the quick response! Unfortunately, I tried adding that code to functions.php in my child theme but it didn’t make any difference.

I realise putting HTML in post titles is probably not a common thing to do, but it was working this morning and for the last few years, at least. I’ll have a look at Twenty Twelve to see what it does differently.

Yes! That works. I’ve removed my CSS entries and it still looks good. Thanks!

OK, I just tried that but it broke ATW! Only the widget title is rendered; the actual text disappears. But so has the “content” class:

<div id=”advanced_text-3″ class=”widget advanced_text”><div class=”AdvancedText”><h3>Free e-books</h3></div></div>

So I’ve changed it back.

Thanks for going to all that trouble! I don’t want border:none to apply to posts and pages, just to the sidebar and footer (in conformity with the other widgets) so I just did it for ATW itself:

body .AdvancedText a:link, body .AdvancedText a:hover, body .AdvancedText a:visited {
        border: none;
}

The output looks okay so I’m happy with that.

I’m still a bit confused about why other widgets behave differently (including most of the widgets which come with WordPress, though not the Text widget it seems). Daiko’s Text Widget has $before_widget and $after_widget like ATW does, but the styling is not the same. But given that it all works now I don’t care too much ??

Thanks again for your help.

I seem to be having a similar problem. I’ve just replaced Daiko’s Text Widget with ATW, copying the text over from each widget, and the styling has changed. Specifically, it did not underline URLs, which is how the theme styles it. If you look at my site you can see three ATW widgets in the sidebar. The top one is fine but it’s just text. The other two are “Free e-books” and “From my library” (near the bottom). As you can see, they both have underlined links now. The other sidebar widgets are styled correctly as per the theme; no underlines. I haven’t a chance to look at the CSS much to see what’s going on, but I wonder why it would change from Daiko to ATW.

I had this problem — posts showing up in the wrong categories. Andycowl’s fix worked for me!

Sorry, I should have RTFM.

Perfect! Thanks.

Thanks, all looks good now!

Thank you! Trackbacks do indeed work now (on my test site, I’ll wait until its stable to put it on my real site). And the new admin menus are great, btw.

But I’ve noticed a couple of bugs with the 3.0 themes, so I may as well report them here. Firstly, if I enable Strawberry Cream then I get this error when I view the site:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected ')' in .../wp-content/themes/strawberry-cream/header.php on line 7

Secondly, the other Semiologic themes don’t work unless I enable the Admin Menu plugin – otherwise I get:

Fatal error: Call to undefined function: the_admin_menu() in .../wp-content/themes/semiologic/header.php on line 34

With Admin Menu enabled, they work perfectly.

Thanks again for the fix.

That’s way over my head, but thanks for your attention, Denis! (And thanks, hep, for the tips on cell phone accessories ??
