With the YARPP active my site slows to a crawl.

Well, bad news. I’d been using the plugin on the sandbox and I finally rolled the rebuild live tonite and this plugin absolutely killed my server. Not sure why or how but I tested it half a dozen times, on and off, with multiple users. With YARPP active and called in my templates the site slowed to a crawl, was throwing database connection errors, etc. Deactivating the plugin and removing the function immediately fixed the problem every time.

As sad as I am to see it go, I’ve gotta drop YARPP.

Just solved this today and was coming here to share it with others, glad to see someone beat me to it!

Mitch, been enjoying the plugin, the templating definitely sets it apart from other plugins.

The next time I upgrade my blog’s theme design I’d try to use the built-in post thumbnails released with wordpress 2.9 on the entire blog

Just went through exact ordeal, then through reversing it because I didn’t like it, haha. I think if I was starting from scratch it would easy to support but having hundreds of posts using a custom field for the post image and needing all my thumbs in like a half dozen sizes it ended up being a logic nightmare. Got it completely working then decided it was too heavy and yanked it, back to timthumb.

Found the problem. My function echoed out a bunch of content and instead I had to save all the content as variables and use a return.

so instead of:

echo “content”;
echo “other content”;

it became

$variable.=”content”;
$variable.=” other content”;
return $variable

specifically I’ve got a function that accepts a youtube ID and spits out preformed embed for the desktop site but just a link to the video on the mobile site. I’ve also got a complex blockquote/cite/link layout I’d like the authors to use and think a button that drops in the code they need might help things along.

well my shortcode happens to be a completely complex PHP function. I’m just in search of a way to make a button my authors can use on the Visual editor.

I’ve found multiple ways to get custom buttons working when the author has the HTML editor open but once the visual editor (tinymce) is activated my buttons no longer work. any ideas?

I’ve been Googling around for a solution to this very problem for almost an hour now. I’ve been able to add buttons to the HTML editor but I desperately need to be able to add it to the Visual editor (most of my authors use the visual editor). Anyone have any ideas?

Ah I figured it out. This works just fine:

<?php $var = get_the_author_meta('user_level');
if ($var == 1) {
the_author_link();
}?>

that works but it seems to check the role of the logged in user, not the author of the post.

Does anyone have a better solution for this? I’ve got a ton of tags and want a user to be able to ‘drill down’ and add as many tags as they like. I’m setting up a CSS gallery and think it would be a real benefit to have the sites be sortable by multiple tags.

I’ve searched for a plugin that does this and couldn’t turn one up, then I looked at implementing it myself and haven’t figured it out yet. I see you can just tack on more tags to the URL by just adding ‘+tagname’ and it works fine, but I guess I need to figure out a way to give this control to the user using only tag links on the page.
