In reply to: [Query Posts] [Plugin: Query Posts] CSS class option for widget blockagreed. this should be part of the plugin.
Many thanks, Brooklyn ??
It is unfortunate that one must edit the source code for the plugin. My server identifies the time zone so the plugin should be able to detect the timezone itself. Regardless, thanks for posting the solution!
make sure to read the theme documentation because it actually uses filters to modify the column layout. I.e., you can set the layout conditionally. In addition, the theme adds a radio button set with several layout type options so you can customize each page/post individually. Really, Hybrid is the best theme out there because Justin Tadlock is so involved in the WordPress community. I highly recommend buying a support package for his site.
I use the ThemeHybrid’s Prototype theme. I definitely recommend it. also, the warnings did go away. thanks!
Oddly, my event is now showing but it is one day ahead of the event that it links to. Take a look here at the event for Leonard Weinglass. What gives?
Yes, I’m having the same problem with events and this is the only reason I installed the plugin. Hopefully this gets resolved soon.
unfortunately, no.
If anyone else is having this problem, read this post on how to ensure that author archives work for custom post types. Here is the code:
`add_filter(‘request’, ‘add_pagination_to_author_page_query_string’);
function add_pagination_to_author_page_query_string($query_string){
if (isset($query_string[‘author_name’])) $query_string[‘post_type’] = array(‘post’,’commentary’, ‘news’);
return $query_string;
}`Where “commentary” and “news” are my custom post types. It is odd to me that when registering the taxonomy, including “author” didn’t take care of this from the get.

In reply to: Author of post not working with custom post typeI have this same problem. If I find the solution, I be sure to post it here. It is very annoying. I’m using co-authors plus and it is supposed to work with custom post types but I realize now that there must be a problem with the way I’m registering my custom post type.
I should explain something further: I didn’t need the recent update to add my coauthors because I was able to do so even before the 2.51 update.
Does this mean I need to re-add them or something? Please advise.
reactivate the plugin; that’s what the post two down from this says.

In reply to: [Co-Authors Plus] [Plugin: Co-Authors Plus] Error in 2.5Is there not supposed to me a settings panel for this version? Or is this related to the above error?

In reply to: [Co-Authors Plus] How Co-Authors Plus stores information in the databaseHello, can you explain exactly how you’d use this function? I that you’d run something like the following:
function add_my_coathor() { $post_id = 1; $authors = array( 'kylehardgrave', 'anotheruser' ); global $coauthors_plus; $coauthors_plus->add_coauthors( $post_id, $authors ); }
But where exactly do you run it? I’ve used the
INSERT INTO
andWHERE
commands in MySQL to perform this kind of modification but I don’t understand how you’d run a PHP function. Do you just need to include it functions.php once?Also, what if I want to remove the previous author first? By default, my bulk imported posts have an admin is the author.

In reply to: [Plugin: WP e-Commerce] Avoid WP- ecommerce plugin[This post, titled “Defection,” was deleted from the WP-ecommerce forums; I don’t blame them ;)]
I just wanted to say that after spending over $300 on WP-ecommerce and related plugins I’ve finally defected. I settled on Cart66 (formerly PHPurchase) after several years of searching and I couldn’t be happier:
It is incomparably nimbler than wp-ecommerce (or any other plugin I’ve tried) and offers way more customization. It is nimble because the “products” are don’t require entire template structure—just the bare essentials of the product are entered. Those essentials include product variations (which are incredibly simple) and even custom fields that allow user-entered information (such as engraving names, or gift addresses). Since the products aren’t themselves “posts,” you simply embed them into your own custom post type (or wherever else you want them). Here’s an excellent tutorial on how it works [Part 1] [Part 2] :
Admittedly, there aren’t as many bells and whistles as wp-ecommerce but the developers are adding new feature at a rapid pace. Critically, whenever they do roll out a new feature, it works!
Still, two major advantages Cart66 has over WP-ecommerce are member subscriptions and Gravity Forms integration. You can integrate as many member levels as you like and it is a snap to show and hide content based on the users login status. Cart66 has now integrated Paypal subscriptions that automatically renew, if you so choose. I admit that the Gravity Forms plugin is expensive but it is much more than a form plugin. The fact that you can integrate these slick forms into your checkout and product selection process is invaluable. Also, you get free MailChimp, Campaign Monitor, etc. (managing user lists) plugins free with your Gravity forms purchase.
Cart66 is a very slick plugin at a very reasonable cost. The bottom line is: for what it attempts to do, it does it perfectly. I urge you to try it out.
P.S. I do not hate WP-ecommerce—I think the developer is a good person and the plugin isn’t horrible. I’m simply highly annoyed by the fact that, on the whole, it works very poorly but thousands of users have bought it. It is a classic case of an undue reputation garnered entirely as a result of a fortuitous name.
