Thank you Ilya!
That was very fast, and is much appreciated. I will test the upgrade on a local setup and then see how well it works live.

This is really a great plugin. Simple to use, lightweight, plus it uses jQuery via WP. So, I LM for the plugin developer, linking to here, hopefully they will have an answer.
In the meantime, I’ve opened up the plugin and am trying to change the upload feature to allow entering an image URL. If I figure this out, I’ll be sure to post it.

Maybe FV Community News would work for you (link):

Community News plugin you allow your visitors to add articles to the sidebar. Complete with moderation panel and a settings page…

It looks very nice, original design, easy to navigate and read.
You can’t go wrong ‘featuring a ninja, bamboo, a tiger, and the word kung fu’.

jennojenno: I would say, start over on the new install and use the WP export/import function. You’ll find them in the admin / tools menu.
Then just go thru your plugins and settings to make sure things mirror the old site the way you want.

Hopefully you are working on the new site before updating your DNS so that the old host is still serving the (live) site.

ok, stuck again. I basically want to sort the categories by name then group the posts below the category name/link in a semi-forum layout fashion:

Category 1:
• posts (#of comments)
• posts (#of comments)
• posts (#of comments)

Category 2:
• posts (#of comments)
• posts (#of comments)

I’m thinking this would be done with something like “foreach $category_id” but am stuck on the implementation; I think my caffiene levels are low.

Any tips/links/help is greatly appreciated.

Back with an update on this. If you would like to turn that category name into an actual link to the category from the comment, here’s the code:

$permalink = get_permalink($post->ID);
$category = get_the_category($post->ID);
$first_category = $category[0]->cat_name;

$category_id = get_cat_ID($first_category);
$category_link = get_category_link($category_id);

$mdv_most_commented .= $before . '<a href="' . $category_link . '" title="' . $first_category .'">' . $first_category . '</a>:&nbsp;<a href="' . $permalink . '" title="' . $post_title.'">' . $post_title . '</a> (' . $comment_count . ')' . $after;

Another thanks to Michael for the code, very helpful in getting one step closer to what I’m trying to do ??

Hey Steve, I am also having this problem.
I had upgraded via Fantastico from my cPanel and now the site, admin, everything is simply blank.
