I’ll try to fix this when I have the time. I’ve been trying to setup a new website for all my plugins and to create dedicated forums so users can discuss bugs and request new features to be added.

I have other projects that needs to be worked on but I will return to this plugin soon. Sorry for not releasing any new updates since everything is pretty stable. Now that something breaks I’ll definitely get a new release out asap.

You do have code that manipulates the excerpt. If you go to the option panel there’s a field that says “excerpt length”, and I believe the value of that input is what you use in your code to cut the excerpt off, abruptly. You did not take into account of strong, em or other XHTML tags that might be used within excerpt, and cutting off excerpt abruptly based only on the “excerpt length” is going to create problem of unclosed tag.

And now if you read back my first post you’ll see some of my suggestions of fixing this problem.

I hope I make myself clear enough this time. Let me know if you still didn’t get why this is indeed a problem. Thanks!

It will be helpful if you can provide more information on what is broken. I’m using version 1.2 on my own site fyi.

Glad it works nicely for you. This plugin isn’t as popular as I would like it to be, maybe most people aren’t too comfortable with adding their own custom CSS. :p

If you can’t be specific with your problem, nobody can offer any solution for you. I am pretty sure if you follow the installation guide and know what you’re doing, there should be no problem using this plugin.

If you decided this plugin isn’t for you, I’m sure there are many other plugins out there that should satisfy your needs. Good luck!

Hi smoothmoniker, I updated the plugin for WordPress 2.5, the editing panel should work fine now. Thanks for offering solution before the plugin updates though! ??

Use this for the image:
<img src="/image.jpg" alt="image test" class="alignright" title="CAPTION TEXT">

And right before you end your post, put in:
<div style="clear: both"></div>

If you’re using “alignleft” CSS class, make sure to clear the float using css “clear: both” right before the entry ends or everything else will appear to the right of the image. fyi, I already mentioned this on the plugin homepage, maybe I’ll just add that to the FAQ section.

Thanks for bringing this up, I will try to update the SVN with the fixed code. If one downloads the plugin file from my site it will work just fine, it’s just the way how the WordPress Plugin depository is set up i.e. it renames the downloaded plugin folder to follow the svn “slug” assigned to the plugin.

I have similar problem, maybe that’s because my plugin is very slightly outdated (2.0.9). I also noticed nobody can post any comment on my blog upon activating Bad Behavior. IMO, if you’re using Akismet you pretty much don’t need Bad Behavior to stay spam free.

I used to be a great fan of Bad Behavior but I guess the approach it’s taking is too proactive and there are just way too many false positive to the point that even a blog author can be locked out of the login page. That’s certainly a big no no. Even captcha will perform better (despite slight hassle to users) than not allowing blog users to post any comment when it comes up as false positive.

My blog is hosted by DreamHost and I have no problem with it at all. I upgraded from 1.5 to 2.0 and so far nothing’s wrong with it, so I’m pretty satisfied. fyi, I do not have Akismet enabled. I used to use CATPCHA to stop spam, but now I use Bad Behavior plugin and it works pretty well so far for stopping spam bots.

DreamHost has pretty good supports and they offer really good bandwidth and webspace for the money you spend, compare to other host out there. Of course, if your blog is low profile, you might not make use of all the bandwidth they offer.

I believe they will fix the problem for you sometime later, maybe they’re working on the problem, who knows. You’re not the only WordPress user they’re hosting, there’s no reason why your blog is messing them out while others aren’t. I’m thinking a clean install, maybe ask the support to do it (just to make sure everything’s right), will help you out.

Most themes do not use table, thus you can define table CSS properties directly instead of creating a CSS class and assigning them to table when writing a post. You can change the default font size for table by putting this CSS in your stylesheet:

table {
font-size: 11px;
}

I realized the problem lies on “comments_popup_link” functions. When getting post title to be used, the functions takes the title directly from the database without parsing it with htmlspecialchars. Here’s a way to fix it:

– open “comment-functions.php” in wp-includes folder
– find function “comment_popup_link”
– change “sprintf( __(‘Comment on %s’), $post->post_title ) ” to “sprintf( __(‘Comment on %s’), htmlspecialchars($post->post_title) )”

btw, isn’t this considered as a WordPress 2.0 bug?

I used table in my WordPress blog all the time and it works perfectly for me. Make sure you have the proper “width” attribute for your table. Your overlap might be due to the theme you’re using too, which one you’re using?

It will be helpful if you can include a link to your site as it’s easier for others to see your problems.
