They go into moderation, where I have to mark them as spam, delete, approved, etc.

A side effect is that I would also get an email for every comment awaiting moderation… that’s mainly what prompted me to turn off commenting.

SpamKarma seems to be somewhat outdated… only mentions WP1.5 … does it still work with 2.0.5?

Worked like a charm, thanks!

I did have a sneaking suspicion about 100 because I noticed categories with a higher catID were missing (but 2 of them DID show which is why I didn’t pursue this).

Ironically, I tried “adding” a new category with the same name (similar to what you had suggested earlier) but with a fresh new post and that did bring up a missing category. But I’ll give the function hack a go before “recreating” the categories ?? Thanks ptvguy.

ptvguy, I tried what I think you suggested (re-creating the category in the edit window) but it didn’t work, there was no duplicate and the category still doesn’t show up in the list.

ptvguy, I’m not sure I follow your explanation, might be because it’s late and I’m about to crash into my bed ?? sounds to me like you’re attributing the problem to updating the timestamp to a later date? If so that’s not the case with mine as I know at least a few of these have never had their timestamp touched.

The two categories I knew were missing have returned after I switched to another server (for unrelated reasons) but now there are 10 others missing, some of which are some of the newest categories I’ve created.

Also noting that when I moved to a new server, I did a completely fresh install of WP, although I did import the old data from the previous host.

Again, every single category has at least one post as I don’t create categories until I need them. I’ll check in tomorrow.

I found another category that’s missing from the “Write” page. The only thing the two have in common (that I can see) is that neither one had had a new post in around 2 months, could that be it?

Also worth mentioning is that the category still doesn’t appear if I’m trying to edit the post. There are no categories selected.

Yes, the post is published ?? and I even published a 2nd post with the same category (had to update the catid in phpMyAdmin) and still nothing.

WP is still overwriting my htaccess file but it turns out not every time I post, so something else must be triggering it. If anyone knows what that trigger is I’d appreciate it.

It’s already 644.

Odd… REQUEST_URI wasn’t working on my local machine…

But ya, that did it ?? Thanks a lot, Kafkaesqui!

I think I understand but I’m not sure that’s what I was looking for.

After looking at my htaccess for the umpteenth time, I think I’ve figured out what I need. I need to be able to use whatever data is passed by %{REQUEST_FILENAME} to WP. I tried using $_REQUEST[] but that’s always empty, so are $_GET and $_POST. How does PHP get the data from %{REQUEST_FILENAME}?

Ya, I was kinda peeved as I had just upgraded my WP ?? … but when I saw “we’ve merged our two failed projects” it occured to me that today was April 1… LOL.

I’m not sure I understand… where you looking to download the plugin in my /moviereviews/ directory, or where you looking to see it in action there?

If it’s the first, the link I provided in the original post is the only place to download it. If it’s the second, it’s activated but shows nothing since none of the posts have been rated yet.

Integrating an optional field into the existing comment form was surprisingly easy, thanks to the API hooks! Unfortunately now I have a problem I might need help with.

If a reader wants to submit their rating but not a comment, they must submit the content nonetheless. But if the textarea is left blank, an error occurs mentioning the empty field.

So maybe putting the field in the comment form wasn’t the best option? Or does someone know a way around this roadblock?
