I agree with demetris. Without transparency in both governance and direction, it’s hard to know where contributions will be appreciated and what kind of contribution will even be accepted. The leads to frustration and eventually to unwillingness to participate.

I’d also like core team to consider that there is a large body of WP users who are not developers and have no desire to be developers – or even testers. But they do, in many cases, have a lot of experience as users and have great ideas for features that could be added to WP or modified. Other than Ideas, and maybe these forums, there is no place for these users to contribute. They’re not going to be out on IRC or sign up for dev blog feeds or report bugs in trac. It would be awesome to provide some way to let these users get their ideas in front of developers who could help to realize them.

I would love to see the irrelevant entries cleared out of Trac and Ideas.

For Trac, how about separating bug fixes and new release features? As new bugs roll in, someone (the core team?) could decide if they need fixing now (and priority) or should be rolled into the next release. At the end of the release, if a feature or bug is not implemented then dump it to an archive where the info will be available if needed, but don’t simply roll it forward into the next release. Each release should start fresh deciding which features will be implemented. And certainly each release generates its own bugs.

Ideas… there are many good ideas in there but also a lot of junk. It needs to be weeded out. I wouldn’t mind seeing some sort of automated weed-whacker, but release-based rather than date-based. For example, if an idea hasn’t been included in two or three releases, it’s probably either no longer relevant or just won’t be implemented and should be removed.

In Settings –> Reading, change “Show at most ____ posts” to 1. That will show only the most recent post on your main page.

Have you tried it? I posted by email and my post was marked “held for review” and not published. I don’t know that I did anything special to make it do this.

The milestone for #4965 has been changed from 2.6 to 2.9.

Does anyone know if it’s ever going to really be fixed? Is there a workaround?

I’d really like to be able to post an image from my phone, but emailing it seems to be the only way to get it there. And then it gets stripped off leaving me with a blank and useless post.

Personally, I use a plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/get-recent-comments/

It does exactly what you’ve specified above, plus more.

I was sort of not liking all of the scrolling, too. Until I used the little arrows in the middle of the menu bar to shrink the menu down to icons. Now the sub-menu items fly out to the right and I don’t have to scroll to reach them at all.

It sounds like either you have not created a database or your wp-config file is not set up correctly.

Look at the detailed install instructions here: https://codex.www.ads-software.com/Installing_WordPress, especially steps 2 and 3.

If your url is the same as it was before — i.e. domain.com — have you allowed time for the new IP address to be populated on the Domain Name Servers?

Try typing in the IP address and see what you get.

I have over 800 posts on my blog, so I don’t necessarily want them all to be listed at once. But it would be nice to be able to see more than 15 at a time.

I like the idea of being able to control how many thingies show up in each list. Maybe it could be part of the page options?

I added a suggestion to include a way to delete revisions, or limit them. If you agree, please go vote here: https://www.ads-software.com/extend/ideas/topic.php?id=2146

kurtiskronk, what Dgold said is correct. In my theme, I don’t have a single.php because my single pages are styled the same way as my main page. Also, I don’t use pictures for my previous/next links.

The code is in my index.php right after the start of the loop, which is the code that looks something like this:
<?php if (have_posts()) : while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?

Of course, if I’d pasted the code in correctly, that would have helped, too. It really should be:
<div>
<?php if ($single) { ?>
<?php previous_post_link('%link'); ?><a href="<?php echo bloginfo('url'); ?>/index.php"> | Main | </a><?php next_post_link('%link'); ?>
<?php } ?>
</div>

This is the part that does the work:
<?php previous_post_link('%link'); ?><a href="<?php echo bloginfo('url'); ?>/index.php"> | Main | </a><?php next_post_link('%link'); ?>

Since the code is in my index.php page, I need the conditional statement so it only shows up when it’s a single post page. If you have a single.php and put it there, you would not need it. The <div> is wrapped around the code so that it can be styled. I have it centered.

Try adding this code just below the start of the loop.

<div>
<?php if ($single) { ?>
<?php } ?>
<?php previous_post_link('%link'); ?><a href="<?php echo bloginfo('url'); ?>/index.php"> | Main | </a><?php next_post_link('%link'); ?>
</div>

I tested 2.7 on a local test site until I was sure that everything worked. I did have a problem with a couple of plugins, but in both cases it turned out to be a problem in my theme. Once I was sure that everything worked, I upgraded my public site – after disabling all plugins. I was only down for a short time. It went a lot better than the 2.5 upgrade.

I use Countdown Timer, too. I agree it does just exactly what I wanted it to. I’ve used it for ages and I’m very happy with it.

Never mind. I just found Revision Control, which allows me to limit the number of revisions that are saved and easily delete them when I no longer need them, or disallow revisions completely!

Oh frabjous day!

I really hope this gets folded into the core code.
