hi,

searching for a similar issue’s solution – I came across you post here – sounds like it’s very close to what I’m trying to achieve…. I’d appreciate it if someone could point me in the right direction to get this resolved on a page, not a category page.

Site still in working progress (a lot of pages still missing styling and final edits).
There are specific pages where I want to show recent comments – but only comments of that particular category (and its child categories).
An example page for this: https://www.phatpiggys.com/wp/bullying/

The page pulls in posts from its main category, the submenu links for this then show the single post file. The last item in the centre column should be ‘recent comments’.
(using any of the plugins I found – I was not able to restrict the comments to 1 category alone. the ‘get-recent-comments’ does give this options but I could not figure out how to use more than once to be able to show the different category comments on the different pages….)

I’ve tried a million and one things, searched the plugins in detail and then found this post – looks so close to a solution but even if I change ‘single’ to ‘page’ in your code – it doesn’t work :'(

very confused and stuck now :'( I’d appreciate any help!

stuck on the same problem …
I really don’t think this can be done… :'(

John,

you might have solved this by now – but I got stuck with this myself (the other solutions mentioned here didn’t work for me) and hunted down a solution, then wrote it all down in a blogpost – so in case this helps:

update:

thanks to more searching around and reading up – I found my solution – just to post it here in case it helps someone else out:

I tried resetting my password in phpMyAdmin – still no luck. Apparently if you log out – which is the same as clearing the cookie – your login will work fine again.
I simply deleted my cookie – and everything is working fine ??

samboll,
thanks for that useful tutorial on how to change the password via phpMyAdmin ?? brilliant ??

unfortunately it didn’t work for me ??
Just upgraded to 2.6 (stuuuuupidly forgot to deactivate plugins beforehand) – and though DB upgrade went fine and site is still up – I can’t log into the admin panel.
(reset password first via WP – nothing, then changed it again via phpMyAdmin – nothing… deleted all files (apart from wp-config and content folder) – and re-uploaded – nothing… took all plugins offline, tried again, nothing….)

After searching here – and reading all posts I still cannot solve my problem… any other ideas anyone? please….. :'(

Hi,

just looking for the same – seems that his doesn’t exist?? :”(

hoping for someone to answer our question….

Thanks, Prisca

Hi, just looking for it myself… no luck it seems?

great plugin – thanks ?? ??
was quite caught out by the missing IDs as I use them for more specific setups – using WP as CMS rather than blog – so I was lost without them….

downloaded and installed successfully ?? great to have the IDs back ??
– I voted 5 stars successfully ??

I’ve managed to get my setup working now – using the approach mentioned in another post:

hope this might help you as well, SocialChris ??

Hi, SocialChris

sorry, I can’t give you a solution – looking for one on this myself – just thought I’d post my interest in finding one…

I’m sure it must be possible – will post if I can work it out ??

hi,

getting the same errors – not the first time I’m upgrading either, plugins disabled before upgrade.

After getting the errors – I got rid of all plugins and custom themes as well – forcing it to use the default theme found in the 2.3.1 folder – but no joy…. the upgrade page is blank – can’t get into the admin – wordpress frontend shows the DB errors…..
what a headache, shame…

tried various of the solutions on here – but no luck…. :”(

even tried a fresh install to a new database – installer file is blank as well… looks like it’s just a broken version?
(for us lower-end coders at least.. :”(…..)

Not quite sure what exactly you mean, charlie – but I guess you might be thinking of the Gravatar – your icon on the web which shows up when a blog your commenting on has this feature?

for more info – you might want to check out the site:

done it!!! doh – rushing and not thinking it through properly….

The updated CQS plugin worked perfectly – for my site – I needed to create a query string for ‘is_month‘ – and everything worked perfectly ??

thanks again, HandySolo ?? ?? ??

just thought – do I need the <?php if (is_archive()) : ?> anywhere…!?

tried it in a few different places – after the header – after the if_posts… no luck…?! wrong direction?

thank you, kind spirit ?? that was indeed a very quick and welcome response – thanks ??

I’ve just downloaded the updated plugin, uploaded and activated it – but it’s not working still…. :”( and it looked perfect…
My current archive page says this:

<?php get_header(); ?>

		<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>

		 <?php $post = $posts[0]; // Hack. Set $post so that the_date() works. ?>
<?php /* If this is a category archive */ if (is_category()) { ?>
		<h4 class="pagetitle">Archive for the ‘<?php single_cat_title(); ?>’ Category</h4>

 	  <?php /* If this is a daily archive */ } elseif (is_day()) { ?>
		<h4 class="pagetitle">Archive for <?php the_time('F jS, Y'); ?></h4>

	 <?php /* If this is a monthly archive */ } elseif (is_month()) { ?>
		<h4 class="pagetitle">Archive for <?php the_time('F, Y'); ?></h4>

		<?php /* If this is a yearly archive */ } elseif (is_year()) { ?>
		<h4 class="pagetitle">Archive for <?php the_time('Y'); ?></h4>

	  <?php /* If this is an author archive */ } elseif (is_author()) { ?>
		<h4 class="pagetitle">Author Archive</h4>

		<?php /* If this is a paged archive */ } elseif (isset($_GET['paged']) && !empty($_GET['paged'])) { ?>
		<h4 class="pagetitle">Blog Archives</h4>

		<?php } ?>

   <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
     <div class="post">
     <h2 id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
<a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent Link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h2>
     <p class="postmetadata"><?php the_time('F jS, Y') ?>, <?php the_category(', ') ?></p>
      </div>
    <?php endwhile; ?>
<div class="navigation">
			<div class="alignleft"><?php next_posts_link('&larr; prev') ?></div>
			<div class="alignright"><?php previous_posts_link('next &rarr;') ?></div>
		</div>

<?php else : ?>
  <h2 class="center">Not Found</h2>
 <p class="center"><?php _e("Sorry, but you are looking for something that isn't here."); ?></p>
  <?php endif; ?></div>

<!-- menu - calendar - links -->
<?php include(TEMPLATEPATH . '/sidebar_archive.php') ?>

<?php get_footer(); ?>

is this correct…? – I did not edit much apart from getting rid of the content to show only titles of posts with dates….
any thoughts would be great!
