You can see the number if you click the link to edit the category. You should see something like yoursite/wp-admin/categories.php?action=edit&cat_ID=22

In this case 22 is the category number.

Got it. Seems it was a problem with the Semiologic DoFollow plugin. Switched plugins.

I’ve just hit this problem, using WP 2.3.3. The thing is, it’s not consistent. There’s one comment that worked (including link) without any problem, and one that failed. I “fixed” the failed comment by removing the link markup.

Is there some little buglet that doesn’t like “.org” or links starting with “a”?

The post is at Not An Employee. (The first comment worked, the second failed when “agilemanfesto.org” was linked.)

I’d appreciate any advice.

If you do most of your wordpress stuff via the web, not much will change, except your FTP client and text editor. And possibly your browser. If you have a local development environment, look into using MAMP.

A slug is used to help create a valid URL to the [category, post, date, etc] listing. So while a category might be named I Like Mom's Cooking the corresponding slug would be i-like-moms-cooking

If you don’t make one for yourself, WP will make one for you.

Clearer?

Not much help, I’m afraid, but I’m glad you got it sorted out. ??

What happens when you type in the unicode number (&# 269;) does it display then? Is it only lowercase, or is there a problem with the “?”, too?

The reason I asked about plugins: I thought maybe one was intercepting the letter (a long shot, I know)

Do you have any plugins in this blog different from the other blog?

Why would you need a plugin for that? Can’t you do that already on the Write Post page? At the very bottom, there’s a Custom Fields expandable bar.

I have 4 custom fields on nearly every post. It’s a big pain in my neck to click the dropdown (which *always* changes order), enter my data, click update, wait for the save, click the dropdown, enter data…. the Custom Field GUI lets you enter the fields all in one fell swoop.

*phew* I’m glad it worked out — that’s at my limit of plug-in programming knowledge ??

In the plugin, there’s a function function get_mini_posts($format = '%post% %commentcount% %permalink%', $permalink_text = '', $zero_comments = '', $one_comment = '', $more_comments = '', $limit = '')
what happens if you set $limit = '' to something like $limit = '2'?

(Just guessing, here, obviously)

In your index.php (or wherever you call the miniposts plugin), there should be a line that says get_mini_posts() which will call the basic function using the defaults

Earlier in the page, he says get_mini_posts(format, permalink_text, zero_comments, one_comment, more_comments, limit) is the structure for the function, so to use the defaults mostly, but change the limit, you’d pretend to fill in the defaults — but with nothing there.

So, try get_mini_posts(,,,,, 2) (it works best to copy the whole function, and delete the bits you don’t want).

Hope this helps!

(just going back to your original problem)

When you look at the generated source in your page, does it look like Markdown has intercepted your <!--subscribe2-->? If so, you may want to look at the priority level for each of the plugins.

(sorry for the disjointed messages — I’m running on low coffee and bad memory ;))

There are at least two ways:

1) I think there’s a plugin that lets you choose the text-prettifier you’d like on a per-post basis (but I don’t know if it works for pages).

2) I’ve been using a kludge to do something similar, with the text-replace plugin, described here.

Hope this helps!

Isn’t there a second menu bar under the first that says “General Writing Reading Discussion Permalinks Miscellaneous”?
