Would it be too much trouble to bump version numbers when you introduce fixes? It makes it a lot easier to assess what needs to be done if the versions are coherent. 1.5.1.3 as it is now should be 1.5.1.4, in my book.

I’m not moving from 1.5.1.2 until this gets resolved for ecto users: we’ve already had to patch xmlrpc.php for that release to work properly.

This is what I have ended up with: I leave the first block (starting at 530) alone and just change the one starting at 583:


583 } else {
584 if (!($post_category)) {
585 $post_category[] = 1;
586 }
587 }


That seems to make re-posting or updating work as it should (ie, quickly).

and I just tested it with a new posting: seems to work there too.

is this resolved to anyone’s satisfaction? I’m not sure just commenting out those else blocks at line 530 and 583 are doing it. Posts and re-posts are very slow: they actually seem to timeout in ecto. the changes do stick but ecto just spins.

Well, that does resolve it. I don’t know what to make of that. I’ll see if adding themes back as well as plugins breaks anything.

So what’s the deal here? some sites validate out of the box[tm] and others don’t?

I could reinstall but there should should some less onerous way of resolving this.

I guess you missed the part where I disabled all plugins and it still failed? and where I replaced the php files with fresh ones from a new download?

It’s all very well to say no aggregators choke on the feed: but does it validate? I don’t want to go with RSS where we once were with HTML: works here, doesn’t work there.

Um, it would have been more helpful if you mentioned which plugin was causing the problem.

I am finding that wp_meta displays in my pages. It looks like if I touch the options in text-control, the choices pop up.

Not too “unsafe” . . .

Hmm, the robots at Robot Co-op (creators of 43 Things) hint that WP support is real close on their end . . . . . so consider this wish granted.

I thought I had tested this already, but it seem WP-Blacklist is the issue. If I take that out of the loop and bounce apache, comments go through. I’m not sure if the blacklist is somehow too tight or if the plugin itself is doing it.

Yup, that worked for me too: any chance this could be distributed as 1.2.1p1?

I was a beta tester for the new version of ecto and it works just fine with WP (especially if you add the file upload patch mentioned above.
The older version works fine but 2 (available in public beta now) is well worth getting.

I got a copy of this from someone else, since MtDew’s site is currently disassembled. I made a couple of small tweaks to make it more of a drop in item (specifically, I added a title/header, expanded the length of the comments, and made it output a list like the other sidebar items).

I’d like to merge the two presentations so that the post, the author, and the comment itself appear: do I post any changes here or is there a Better Way?
PS: WordPress rocks!

Well, this is interesting. I toggled the setting off (it was on), saved it, toggled it back on, and when I replied to a comment I found, I got an email notification.
So perhaps the toggled on bit in the UI is not really indicative of how things are under the hood.
