Is there a way to report this developer’s plugins? I really think this needs to be banned from WordPress site.

A plugin that does this and doesn’t have it in the description is tantamount to a WordPress virus or at least minimally adware. I think all their plugins should be removed from the WordPress site.

Well, if anyone cares…

I figured it out eventually, don’t know how long ago. Including a clearing div tag (clear: both) did the trick.

I’m not using your plugin if you’re just going to berate users for not going to your website to ask for help.

Yeah, I have been debating whether or not to install this plugin because of the FTP issue: I keep thinking to myself “what on earth does this thing need FTP for?” Sounds suspicious to me. Is there some other access it needs besides an HTTP connection for the latest update?

It shouldn’t happen if there are spaces… you know like when a real person may be typing something.

I’d like to figure this out too. I’m not going to give my friends all FTP access and require them to understand how to use it just so they can upload files…

I was willing to go the .tgz route instead, but it seems even if I add .tgz as an allowed filetype, it is blocked.

Thanks andycowl, it worked. In case anyone’s interested, I have edited the plugin to simply display all posts, but not pages (without needing article=1). Just replace the query in aka_get_articles to:

$posts_data = $wpdb->get_results(“
SELECT $wpdb->posts.*
FROM $wpdb->posts
WHERE $wpdb->posts.post_status = ‘publish’
AND $wpdb->posts.post_date_gmt < ‘$now’
AND $wpdb->posts.post_type = ‘post’
GROUP BY $wpdb->posts.ID
ORDER BY $wpdb->posts.post_date_gmt DESC
“);

As you might assume you can change ‘post’ to ‘page’ if you want to display only pages and not posts!

That part of the code looks ok, so try checking something else. For example, make sure it’s in the appropriate section (like within the while loop).

Look for things that include #sidebar and modify those. You can add your own #sidebar id’s as well to the css sheet.

That’s horrible. wp_list_authors should use the “display name” by default. If someone selects what they want their name displayed as, why should wp_list_authors circumvent that?

I’d consider this a bug.
