Jose,

Thanks for the kind words, I appreciate it.

I have no problem refunding money to the buyer if the buyer wants to sign an agreement that the design provided via email won’t be used on his website and he contracts with another designer to design his website. I provided a layered Fireworks file actually, not Photoshop in this case, so everything is in that file that he would need to export an necessary graphics.

My only concern all along has been that I handed over an editable design file and then, my understanding of the project, was completely changed after the design file was received. I would obviously never have desired this outcome.

I just found this today. I am not looking to start a flame war, but I have to defend myself here.

Rob (Robert) Longo came to me originally 2 months ago looking for a ‘full’ WordPress theme. Initially he had told me that he had an individual who could code that could do any custom PHP programming needed, but he wanted a full theme. He went back and forth over that 2 month time, popped in, seeing if I was still available. He was trying to come up with the money and eventually on Aug. 11 he asked if we could separate out the design from the HTML coding, where I would hand off a design to him, and his guy would ‘HTML’ code the theme.

Sure, that is what I would do. I sent that off to him on a Friday and I didn’t use all of the time I thought so the price for him came in about 18% less than what I quoted him. (the 300 is correct at a fairly standard design rate). Instead of charging the full price, I charged him for the time I spent and that was it.

After he got my layered file via email he came back to me to demand that I give him more or less a full theme where his guy could (going back to the original idea) code little individual pieces that would pull from the Database. This is not what we agreed on when I gave him my price, we agreed I would make the design file and his guy would write HTML and PHP code for the theme files.

We spoke back and forth for the next two days trying to work things out from a late Friday night until later Sunday, and agreed this was a communication issue obviously. So, I offered at the end of that two days to build him out the theme, if he wanted to send me the remaining amount of money for the full quoted price.

Two days later he had already found someone else to do the job and only demanded a refund.

Fact is, the work was put in to his request, he got the final design file, and I didn’t charge him the full flat fee….and I offered to build him out what he originally wanted. I did what I felt was reasonable if I believe that this was a communication error and not someone trying to fraud me instead.

I just figured out today that this plugin was causing problems when I did a manage > posts > search. Any search I would do, or a filter, I would be redirected to the homepage of my website…

Robots Meta doesn’t work with WordPress 2.6

I fixed my problem.

This is what I was able to do. By tracing the functions backwards, and their calls, I found that file wp-includes/comment-template.php stopped at line 327. The new file stops at a line count of 768. I replaced all the files in that directory, and that seemed to fix things.

Here is my blog post about the other stuff I tried.

If this is a feature you really want, show your love. Alex King is making updates to the plugin, and it would be good to show how many users want to control when the tweets post as a digest.

I am having the same issues.

I have a tried a ton of stuff to try to get the “Sorry, Comments Closed” message to go away.

• Validating my pages, fixing validation errors
• Tested in Safari, IE, Opera and Firefox. IE gives me an error page, no message
• Checking commenting for the whole site
• Checked commenting on a per post basis
• Searched WordPress Forums
• Searched the Web
• Upgraded all plugins that needed it, deleted unnecessary plugins
• Reverted back to the default theme
• Upgraded testing environment to WordPress 2.5 final, but can’t replicate the problem

Good to know that someone else tried to deactivate all plugins before I tried that. I won’t assume that will work. I also don’t have the “Add your own headers” plugin.

Can anyone else replicate this problem and help solve it???

Luke,

Did you figure out a solution for this plugin by Alex King? I am also not a php guy, but would like to have my Twitter’s postly weekly, mostly because of the sheer volume is overwhelming on my blog.

Jeff

Did you ever figure out a solution to your problem? I am looking for a similar solution, or using a graphic in place of the post title.

Ultimate Category Excluder plugin is a little buggy for WordPress 2.2 and 2.3. Seems to exclude category posts from the homepage, but it also messes up what your links in the sidebar return.

Seems like it was developed perfectly for up to version 2.1…might take some caution if using anything earlier.

Commenting out line 402 did end up working…my page does validate now. I don’t know what I ended up changing by commenting this line out, but it worked for this purpose.

Yesterday when it didn’t work, I realized my lines were off because I had added the other line in above in the else function. When I looked at it again today, I realized I needed to comment out the line that looks like this;

'category_before' => $before_widget, 'category_after' => $after_widget,

I found this post today as I was trying to validate the xhtml code in my WordPress site.

I read through the chain of comments, it looks like one of the last two solutions for editing the widgets.php should solve the problem of having unique id’s when using categories in the blogroll.

I tried commenting out line 402, and that didn’t seem to change anything, and I also tried to add the line of code listed above inside the closing else tag, but that didn’t seem to work.

Is there something else I can do to get my validation working for this aspect? Has anyone else commented out line 402 and had the blogroll widget use unique id tags?

I got some feedback on my problem. The author could replicate my problem, and he took a look at my website. He noticed that “Add Lightbox” was conflicting with the kPicasa plugin, and I need to comment out some lines of code in the kPicasa file to make both plugins play together.

I think I finally got it working.

Even when I did the last upgrade on the WordPress install, I still had duplicate entries for the new “terms” tables.

I don’t know if those errors caused the full install to not finish even though it said it did finish, or not….but I read in another source that when the install doesn’t completely finish correctly, then the permissions won’t be right and that is when you will see the error;

“You do not have sufficient permissions to access this page.”

I just dropped all the tables from my database, reimported all of my data, and tried the upgrade again, and it finished fine.

Solved.

Trying to fix my issue of a white screen, the only thing I knew to do was a fresh install.

I started to export out all of my tables individually, change the name of the table, and reimport them back into the new install. Everything seemed to work fine until I hit wp_options, and then when I went to my new install, it asked me to update my wordpress database. Then I got the same repeating errors with the duplicate entries.

Does anyone know what I can do to fix this?
