In reply to: [Multisite Post Duplicator] updated plugin, subdomain warning on every pageI just did a few duplications to make sure, and I can confirm that I can successfully duplicate posts with images as well as embedded video, audio, and other media files. In all the time I’ve been using the plugin, I have never had a post lose anything in the process. I have also been able to duplicate single posts and multiple posts.
As far as I can tell, the plugin has worked perfectly for me, and I use it a couple of times a month.
I appreciate the code to remove the warning.
If you need more details about my site configuration for troubleshooting, let me know. I’m happy to assist. MPD has saved me a lot of time!

In reply to: Get rid of emoji+1 for adding an option to disable
I don’t want unicode characters replaced by emojis.
I’m also getting that error:
Illegal string offset ‘action’ in …/public_html/wp-content/plugins/simply-exclude/simplyexclude.php on line 2290
The plugin is really useful–but would like to not have the error all the time.

In reply to: [WP Super Cache] [Plugin: WP Super Cache] CDN FeatureDonncha, just I understand what you are saying here:
I network activate WPSC and configure caching–that takes care of all my sites as far as the cache goes
I go to the WPSC settings on each site and put in the CDN info (even if it’s the same for all sites)

In reply to: Version 3.0 FeaturesFirst, I’d like to echo @jonpeltier:
Could you once and for all really and truly stop the visual editor from changing HTML code that I enter into the HTML editor? Please?
This issue is a huge obstacles to many bloggers who, for legitimate reasons, want to add html to their posts but also use the visual editor.
Second, I want to add my support for requests to make the wp/wpmu integration a priority. As someone who uses both, integration of the two would be a major step forward in making it easier for me to maintain my sites.

In reply to: twitter tools 1.5.1a won’t authenticate at twitter@dorianj, can’t help you get the plugin working (I’m still having problems with it too), but I can direct you to the connections tab:
Login to Twitter, click settings, and you’ll see these options on the nav bar–Connections is the last one:
* Account
* Password
* Mobile
* Notices
* Picture
* Design
* ConnectionsI checked there but couldn’t find anything filtering spam, so that seemed to be a deadend.

In reply to: twitter tools 1.5.1a won’t authenticate at twitterTwitter Tools was working fine for me a few weeks ago, and then stopped today. I’m getting the “Twitter requires authentication” message as well. I’m running WP 2.9 (just upgraded) and TT 2.0

In reply to: help? – Custom SQL Query. How to ORDER BY two fields?artsaround, I’m glad you found the code helpful–but you’ve quickly moved beyond my knowledge!
I will add, since others might like to know, that I displayed the results of the query using a table, like this; this loop follows immediately after the query:
$pageposts = $wpdb->get_results($querystr, OBJECT); ?> <?php if ($pageposts): ?> <table id="tablestripe" width="100%" border="0" cellspacing="0" cellpadding="0"> <tr> <th width="12%">Number</th> <th width="45%">Title</th> <th width="15%">Faculty</th> <th width="28%">Day/Time</th> </tr> <?php foreach ($pageposts as $post): ?> <?php setup_postdata($post); ?> <tr> <td class="coursenumber" valign="top" width="12%"> <?php $key="course"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?> </td> <td class="coursetitle" valign="top" width="45%"><a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></td> <td class="coursefaculty" valign="top" width="15%"><?php $key="instructor"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?></td> <td class="coursetime" valign="top" width="28%"><?php $key="time"; echo get_post_meta($post->ID, $key, true); ?></td> </tr> <?php endforeach; ?> <?php else : ?> <p><?php _e('Sorry, no posts matched your criteria.'); ?></p> <?php endif; ?> </table>

In reply to: help? – Custom SQL Query. How to ORDER BY two fields?I solved it by changing the code to this:
$querystr = " SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts LEFT JOIN $wpdb->postmeta AS term ON( $wpdb->posts.ID = term.post_id AND term.meta_key = 'term' ) LEFT JOIN $wpdb->postmeta AS course ON( $wpdb->posts.ID = course.post_id AND course.meta_key = 'course' ) WHERE $wpdb->posts.post_status = 'publish' AND term.meta_value = 'summer' ORDER BY course.meta_value ASC ";
I removed the filter by category, since only my course descriptions carry the custom keys of term and course.

In reply to: help? – Custom SQL Query. How to ORDER BY two fields?I’ve got a similar issue, and I can’t figure out how to adapt the code above to my situation. I’ve been using this code to generate a list of upcoming courses:
$querystr = " SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts LEFT JOIN $wpdb->postmeta ON($wpdb->posts.ID = $wpdb->postmeta.post_id) LEFT JOIN $wpdb->term_relationships ON($wpdb->posts.ID = $wpdb->term_relationships.object_id) LEFT JOIN $wpdb->term_taxonomy ON($wpdb->term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id = $wpdb->term_taxonomy.term_taxonomy_id) WHERE $wpdb->term_taxonomy.term_id = 22 AND $wpdb->term_taxonomy.taxonomy = 'category' AND $wpdb->posts.post_status = 'publish' AND $wpdb->postmeta.meta_key = 'course' ORDER BY $wpdb->postmeta.meta_value ASC "
This produced a list of courses ordered by number, and it worked well as long as I wanted to list only 1 semester at a time.
Now I need to list courses for 2 semesters, so I’ve added a key called “term” that will have the value “spring,” “summer,” or “fall” (or I could number the terms 1, 2, and 3 if that would simplify things).
So what I want to do is first filter the list by term, and then display sorted by course number. I can’t figure out how to add in the code to filter by term.

In reply to: Upgraded to 2.5, now pages don’t display…WTF?I’ve been reading about how WP rewrites URLs and came across this post from Mark Jaquith (
https://markjaquith.wordpress.com/2007/09/25/wordpress-23-canonical-urls/
); he concludes with a link to a simple plugin that solved my problem. Hope it helps some of you as well.Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Upgraded to 2.5, now pages don’t display…WTF?Here’s another part of the puzzle that makes me think it’s something to do with permalinks:
.../wp/?p=4&preview=true
will correctly display the page, but
.../wp/?p=4
redirects tohttps:.../wp/?p=4
and an error message.Why would preview work but not the actual post?

In reply to: Upgraded to 2.5, now pages don’t display…WTF?I’m having a similar problem, except that my site keeps redirecting to https:// for some reason–and Firefox tells me:
The page isn’t redirecting properly
Firefox has detected that the server is redirecting the request for this address in a way that will never complete.Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: setting front page options in 2.1I can see that the hardcoded list is a problem, but the wp_list_pages should work–it’s part of wp, right? What’s confusing is that the post page is working fine–it’s only the front page that doesn’t work.
As a test, I did a completely new install of 2.1 with only the default and classic themes. I then created “Welcome” and “Posts” pages and assigned them through the Options page to the front page and the blog posts, respectively. Everything worked correctly.
I then uploaded my modified version of Cutline, and the links work correctly. Finally, just to check one more thing, I turned on the permalinks function. It still works correctly.
Not sure why it worked this time around, but at least I know I can make the front page option work with Cutline.
