Thank you, bbodine1! That string in the usermeta fixed me right up. (I had tried the force-update with no success.)

Thanks again!

weblogs.com seems to have stopped updating yesterday morning… I have no idea what is going on with them. But that’s why your links (and mine) aren’t updating.

Pingomatic was having problems yesterday. Try removing that, sending your trackbacks and putting it back in. The pings and trackbacks seem to affect each other somehow. If a ping messed up, trackbacks won’t go either (I haven’t dug into the code to figure out why.) Taking the ping(s) out in options, then resaving the file(s) to send the trackbacks seems to work for me.

I had an outgoing problem on someone I was helping move from MT. Found out he was pinging pingomatic and had helpfully added all his other pings in there (all of which pingomatic was pinging already). The minute I took the extra pings out, his trackbacks and pingbacks to other blogs started working.
Might not be your problem, but it wouldn’t hurt to check. Pingomatic automatically pings the following (last I checked):
Weblogs.com
Blo.gs
Technorati
MyYahoo!
Blogrolling
BlogChatter
PubSub.com

Try changing:
RewriteRule ^archives/?(.*) /index.php?category_name=$1 [QSA]
to:
RewriteRule ^archives/?(.*)\/$ /index.php?category_name=$1 [QSA]

Oops. Second on should be:
<?php if (!$single) { ?>
Stuff you want only on a non-single pages
<?php } ?>
If you want to specify particular stuff for other archive pages too, you’d have to get a bit more complex but I find just the single and not-single to be fine for me.

I’ve found the following pretty helpful:
<?php if ($single) { ?>
Stuff you want only on a single post page
<?php } ?>
and
<?php if (!$single) { ?&gt
;Stuff you want only on a non-single pages
<?php } ?>

P.S. You could renumber the ones you have in there (via PHPmyAdmin or something) but you’d have to be careful to also renumber associated comments and such.

Yes, it does need a blank install. Or at least no duplicate ID numbers!

It’s broken in earlier versions of Opera too (I’m on 7.23). I’ve tried changing the CSS, but I haven’t found a fix (yet). I’m still looking.

If you can’t do it locally, use the template, but unless you really need to export by category, it would be much easier to just use that template from the mt support templates without the category thing. Just change the first line and rebuild each time.
First one: <MTEntries lastn=350″ sort_order=”ascend” >
First one: <MTEntries lastn=350″offset=”350″ sort_order=”ascend” >
First one: <MTEntries lastn=350″ offset=”700″ sort_order=”ascend” >
And so forth. You just change the output file each time too (export1.txt, export2.txt, etc.) It’s a pain but should work..

I’d like to thank jmesam for having the problem and especially allusion for solving it. I also wanted to put my installation in a subdirectory and would have been growling and grumbling had I not read through this forum first. (I did try it without the fix, just to see, and sure enough, I had the same problem).
I like it when people solve my problems before I have them!
