nulldogmas

I’ve switched to another plugin for the interim on my live site, but you can still see the problematic behavior on my development site:

Thanks! That will change it to “with” in all cases, though, yes? I’m looking to provide an option where either can be selected.

Worked for me as well, thanks so much, @reddalek!

One thing I tried that looked promising:

https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/exclude-categories-from-the_category?replies=10#post-1638982

Unfortunately, replacing get_the_category() with the_excluded_category() generates an error: Warning: Invalid argument supplied for foreach().

…and now we’ve successfully restored the data to the wp_postmeta table, but WordPress refuses to actually see it — not until we’ve opened each separate post in the dashboard, at least, and the subheading data has repopulated that field. Which would be a pretty time-consuming solution, with hundreds of posts being affected.

Is there a way to force Subheading to repopulate the data globally? Anyone?

And survey says:

Genesis Sandbox Featured Content Widget

Not sure what changed about this that suddenly conflicted (I hadn’t updated it or anything), but suffice to say it is now bad news when combined with Jetpack Mobile. Disabling fixed the blank screen problem.

Ugh, sorry, looks like it’s a plugin conflict. Will report back here once I’ve isolated it.

I finally found (thanks to ctate) the “Disable WPAUTOP” plugin, which shut down WP’s mad tag inserter. But man, what a way to run a railroad.

As it turns out, in this case you’d lose. After a week of back and forth, Panix tech support finally informed me:

The issue appears to be that the in-apache php module on our shared servers is compiled against a very old version of mysql.

They’re going to work on upgrading, but it’s likely to take a week or more.

So what’ll it be, whooami, check or PayPal…?

Going once, going twice… Any ideas for trying to diagnose this before I go tell my client she needs to get a new webhost?

I’ve triple-checked wp-config.php, and there are no stray spaces. And a user was created by Panix – it can access MySQL from the command line, so that’s not the problem. It’s only WordPress that can’t see the DB for some reason.
