In reply to: [Olimometer] Multiple fundraisersCool, thanks.
If it’s any help, note that it’s presumably mostly non-profits and other organizations that want to keep track of multiple funds, so would probably pay for a “pro” version of the plug-in that did this.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Olimometer] Multiple fundraisersI see this issue – of distinguishing one fund from another – has come up a few times on this forum, for websites which have more than one donation stream to a single Paypal account.
If the ItemID field was exposed on the API such that you could get the balance/totals on a specific ItemID this would presumably be sufficient. (It’s how we disaggregate general donations from donations to specific funds when doing the accounting.)
But it seems it’s not exposed on the API!
oshingler, could there be another way of doing it? Instead of looking at the account balance for the overall account, could there be an option for a given oliometer to keep track of donations made through specific buttons? All the other options would presumably be untouched – you still need offline donation values and total values and starting values etc. But instead of grabbing the account total the plugin would keep track of donations made through the button? (but maybe that’s not possible either?)
It’s a real bugbear for Paypal (and by consequence means this and other plugins simply aren’t compatible with the way Paypal itself is meant to work – that you can have different ItemIDs for different income streams.)

In reply to: [PageLines] Primary nav links not clickable!!!This is a real pain.
The Classic nav is less customizable and doesn’t seem to work with child pages at all.
Meanwhile use the main Pagelines navbar, in order to add child pages, we are now supposed to move the main (parent) pages under themselves?! This will break lots of links and as far as I’m concerned is a weird inconsistent behaviour.
Why is everyone obsessed with touch users to the detriment of the many more users on desktops, laptops, etc! Most non-touch users expect to be able to click the top item in a nav bar, especially when the child pages are visible on hover.

In reply to: All my entries have suddenly changed to 'uncategorized'Hi esmi
For other’s reference – yes I could still access posts and view them on the live website – they just had Uncategorised status.
I did have a backup of the database haven’t had to go that far.
In phpMyAdmin I tried to view the structure of the Categories table. I got an error message as follows:
#1 – Can’t create/write to file ‘/tmp/#sql_706_0.MYD’ (Errcode: 17)Googling around this implied that the server was having a problem creating or writing to temporary database files, indicating that perhaps (even though the account itself had plenty of disk space) the server or MySQL installation was running low on system space.
I contacted my hosts and reported the error that phpMyAdmin was giving me. 15 minutes later it seems to have cleared up; they had restarted the SQL service on the server (it’s a shared server so this wasn’t something I could do directly). My website is now showing Categories again on posts and the theme is showing selected Categories in the right place and Category pages are listing the relevant posts.
If you have the same problem I had them if you browse into the …data_category table in phpMyAdmin, then click the “Structure” tab, this returned an error message. After restarting the SQL service it had cleared and now lists the fields as you would expect. The WP behaviour is back to normal and no actual data about the posts’ categories appears to have been lost.

In reply to: All my entries have suddenly changed to 'uncategorized'Hi Esmi. I have now upgraded but was using 3.0.1 before I think. And this issue is obviously cutting across versions.
I’ve tried repairing and the corrupt table was related to a plugin. This is now supposedly fixed but it hasn’t fixed the Categories problem. All posts still report as Uncategorised for most purposes – but the empty Categories panel still mysteriously reports “24 items” (Categories) despite not being able to show them to me!
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: All my entries have suddenly changed to 'uncategorized'Okay it just got even weirder. I updated my WP version to 3.1.1 hoping that might reset Categories tables or something. The Categories panel in the WP back-end now shows no items in the list at all (before it was listing the Categories and told me how many posts each category had). However, despite showing no Categories, it does say there are “24 items” in the list (it’s showing none!) and has pagination for two pages – neither of which actually lists any items.
I’m hoping the fact that some part of the system still recognises that there should be a couple dozen categories means all the data is still there and something else is broken…
I’ve run a check on the MySQL database and get the following towards the end of the output:
Size of datafile is: 3190784 Should be: 3190952 error : Corrupt
That doesn’t sound very good

In reply to: All my entries have suddenly changed to 'uncategorized'It doesn’t appear to be a disk space issue for me either. The site is only using half of its 5GB allowance.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: All my entries have suddenly changed to 'uncategorized'My site was working fine one minute then I made a post – a standard post for my blog with several categories and tags – and then all the posts were suddenly listed as Uncategorised.
Weirdly, they show as Uncategorised and the customised theme I’m using fails to display posts in given categories in the right places, but on the Categories tab itself it does seem to know how many posts should be in each category – so it’s obviously able to count them somehow!
Any help greatly appreciated. I’ve tried resetting permalinks as suggested but I can’t see how this would help and there’s no explanation – and it hasn’t worked.

In reply to: WordPress 2.5 HackedExperienced a similar problem.
Four different WordPress installations all on the same web space have been infected. Php files contain inserted malicious code in the form of an iframe. Perhaps other insertions as well?
The result is that various bits of functionality no longer work in the WordPress CMS, for example text editor tool bars, upload bar, etc. One of the WordPress sites isn’t even viewable from the front anymore!
Desperately in need of a plugin that will rip out the malicious code?!
Otherwise I’m going to have to download all the websites, strip out the malicious code by hand — which will take about eight years — then upload them again! (My web host doesn’t have backups of the files.)
Can anyone help? A plugin? A script to replace the malicious code inserted in the name of cdpuvbhfzz.com?cdpuvbhfzz.com or whoever wrote this hack – you are the scum of the earth.

In reply to: Disappearing Rich Visual EditorI’m also getting this on WP 2.2, using Firefox 1.5.0.11
I tried deactivating and reactivating all plugins as suggested but to no avail.
(Btw to clarify, my editor is not just stuck in HTML-edit mode. The line break tags aren’t visible, for example, but the bold and italic text formating tags, url tags etc, are visible as text. So it really is just stuck in a regular plain text mode rather than either rich-text or HTML-text.)

In reply to: Changing the Category without changing the AuthorHmm okay. The authors of syndicated Posts are stored in the database but they are stored as Users with the role “Subscriber” by the FeedWordPress plugin. I can manually change this Role but by that but can I change the way it defaults?
