In reply to: Generic Archive LinkThanks esmi. Problem is, this function inexplicably seems to “return” the HTML list rather than an array as one might expect:
$archives = wp_get_archives('type=monthly&echo=0'); ?><!-- <?php print_r($archives); ?> -->
Returns:

In reply to: add_action to end of individual post?I’m pretty sure “loop_end” is going to be at the end of the loop, meaning that it’s going to happen after the entire loop – with all the posts – ends.
You’re better off using “the_content” instead. It passes the body of the post along as an argument, so you can append like this:
$mycontent .= dd_tiny_tweet_init()
One additional note, using an “init” function doesn’t sound quite right. Maybe it’s just not the right thing to call it, but it’s all just personal preference.

In reply to: Filtering Titles?w00t! Worse than I thought: the filters I’m using are converting all page and post titles on the page, when they’re only supposed to change the current one. Anybody have any ideas?

In reply to: WP needs to get its S**T together!Another modestly helpful hint, as long as we’re pointing out how to make the best of a not-always-great situation. Try putting the following into a Google search:
the_permalink site:www.ads-software.com
That will allow you to restrict your search to www.ads-software.com, which while not always the best solution (third party pages often have more and better detail), will at least allow you to browse the codex a bit more efficiently.
Having said that, the customer service on the forums could stand to be improved somewhat. Yes, the moderators probably are volunteers, but justify a company’s lack of professional technical support by simply saying, “well, they don’t even pay for it!” isn’t exactly effective. Better documentation in the Codex – and that primarily means <b>complete</b> documentation, even if it’s not in-depth – in the first place would avoid a lot (though of course not all) “silly” questions in the forums. And besides that, beginners questions are always “silly.” Some people just need a human touch and some reassurance in order to dig into the harder stuff. A good company appreciates the interest.
And as long as I’m pitching a b*ch, I’m tired already of the ridiculous development schedule. It’s bad enough keeping up with stuff on a straight WP site, but running WPMU and having to constantly upgrade is a harrowing experience with little benefit. The trouble is: enhancing functionality and security should be separate endevours, but with WP, it isn’t any more. Now, if I want the latest in security, I have to deal with all the latest in functionality, which might likely break a plugin or three that I’ll need to upgrade/fix. It’s very “Microsoft-ian.”
OK, I feel better now.

In reply to: Stop “Title” of RSS feed widget linking to URL?Davejp,
Wouldn’t it be way easier to just change the CSS so that the links in your sidebar aren’t red? After all, you’re going to find red links on a red background more of a problem than just with this one widget.

In reply to: YouTube-plugin??Whoa! That’s a really nice plugin for embedding. Thanks for the link!
I’ve also been using TubePress to create a video library on a separate page of my blog. It’s nice for providing a page to see all the video you’ve embedded, rather than just onesie-twosie stuff.

In reply to: How to – Display Categories on Pages?Funny you should be discussing this. For myself, I’m looking for a similar solution. The purpose is to be able to restrict the front page to a specific category of posts, rather than all of them.
In my head, at least, this would suggest the need to create a page for a specific category and then change the Front Page option under Options to that page. Is there some other way to restrict output by category that might work better?

In reply to: Can’t Install Widgets with 2.0.3!OK, I’m getting a weird one, and perhaps I need to start an entirely new thread to get this solved.
Widgets installs fine on the new version of WordPress, but then when I go to the Widgets configuration page, the AJAX appears to be all screwed up. The Configure button appears in the upper right-hand corner of the screen and I’m unble to move any of the widgets at all. I presume that this is because the entire screen is being recognized as a widget.
I’m going to redownload the Widgets plugin as has been suggested and see if that works or not.
