Criss Swaim

Since none of my clients have asked for that, I don’t have it on the enhancement list. Next release, I will consider it, but I am trying to stage releases as the testing takes more time than some of the updates.

Thanks for the follow-up on the solution. This is a nagging problem that seems to appear randomly. Hopefully, a pattern will emerge and a solution can be found. Posting your solution will help in getting this resolved.

No response so I am closing this.

The selection to do this is a category__in=(nn,nn,nn). This parameter requires an array be passed to the wp query. I implemented this in the 2.0 premium version as it was more than a simple change. I hope if you still need this functionality, you will consider the upgrade.

This has been discussed in this link and I have not been able to reproduce the problem on my site using twenty-ten. But I have turned off comments in general (setting >> discussion) and then enable on post where discussion is allowed.

Hope that helps.

The 2.0 version implements this functionality, though not exactly the same way. It also supports category__in and category__not_in. Plus enhanced formatting options. If you don’t want to upgrade, this patch works. Thanks for posting for all to use.

The option show_byline=”false” will suppress the byline and show_meta=”false” will suppress the metadata line. In the premium version you can actually format the byline and metadata line.

this is usually controlled by the theme. see this link for previous discussions on this topic.

I have not fully tested this as I have not had this problem on my sites, but here is how I would approach it:

in page.php, comment out line 24 that references the comments_template.

if the comments disappear, then copy the modified file to front-page.php and uncomment the line in the page.php. see theme development in codex for an explanation of the theme files.

If that doesn’t work, then you might test with another theme to see if you can recreate the problem.

see the disclaimer above….I have not tested this

Thank you for the detailed explanation, link to site and sample of the short-code used. It really helps me create the test environment. I wish all problem reports were this clear.

I have this plugin working on 2 two test sites and I created a post with comments on which allows comments to be posted on the individual post page, but comments are off for the system. On the blog page and the static page with the short-code, the comment box does not appear. The comment box only appears on the individual post page

The themes I tested with are a modified 2010 and Suffusion. I think this may be a problem with the theme.

***Disclaimer***

the following is after about 10 minutes of analysis. I am not familiar with this theme, so these ideas may or may not work. Use at your own risk.

In looking at the site, I believe you are using justcss theme. If that is true, then the theme does not have a special page for the front-page.php or home.php. If you are using a static front page, then you can try copying the page.php to front-page.php and removing line 24 ‘comments_template( ”, true )’ in the front-page.php file. But that may break other things…. without installing the theme and testing, I cannot offer a solid solution – only suggestions.

If this works, please post back and let everyone know

I am behind on a couple of tasks, so my time to look at this is limited. However, if you would test with numberposts=100 and let us know if that drops the first item, it would be helpful. I was looking at my test samples and was unable to replicate the problem….but my test data is limited.

If the 100 works, then try with 999….is 1000 exceeding a value size? Of course, post your response back here so we know the results.

With version 1.3.8, all the validation errors have been cleared up. I changed the id to classes for the division and hope that it will not break too many sites.

Thanks for the heads up on this.

Unfortunately, you are correct. I can clean up some of the errors easily, like removing the invalid / and empty id attribute. However, a couple of changes will not be so easy – ie duplicate ids. Making the ids unique may break styling markup on existing sites.

I am not sure how to proceed with that change. I will push the easy changes out within a week but the other changes will need to wait until I have a solution that does not break other sites.

The plugin was designed to pull x number of post to a page, so if you want to show 10, then that’s it, only 10 show.

You could put a link in the text of the page to your blog page where all posts will show. Pagination is not supported at this time.

1.3.6 is available.

You caught me between jobs, so I had the time to look at this.
