That is fine and well. However when researching a problem, I often fine (as in this case) that there are something like 50 threads all asking the same question about Wasabi.

I am a conscientious poster, in that I will try to post to as many threads as possible and link back to ONE thread in an attempt to direct other readers to a single thread, so that if we achieve or get help, everyone can follow the tracks and get help they need.

In 50 posts, people may only be watching the 2 or 3 they are trying to get help in, therefore I ‘chain’ my posts together, AND when I get a solution, I post it in the appropriate area. Note I did not start the threads, I am just trying to get some cohesiveness between them for others.

I honestly did not mean any kind of accusation towards the moderators as far as support for the wasabi plugin. I was under the assumption that this was a USER forum, and my plea was for the USERS of the plugin, not towards moderators who do not. If you do not use the plugin, I would expect you to not post at all.

As before, *sigh* I am pasting the link I am trying to chain to, in an effort to keep this topic as centralized as possible.

I am having problems with the Wasabi plug-in as well. I think one of the problems is that it seems no one knows how to actually trouble-shoot it, just how to install it. I am getting 2 different results from my searches; 1. Hey it works great! I love it. and 2. I cant get it to work, please help.

In the case of #2 the ‘please help’ portion is followed by a deafening cyber-silence.

In addition Wasabi is not being supported by the author of the plugin, which really sucks as I just recently saw it in the number 2 slot of favorite plugins. It is really frustrating to see that its a do-or-die situation. Either it works, or it doesn’t.

I am refreshing the following link during the day to see if I get any takers on the topic.

Be happy, I’m not getting anything at all.

I’m still not convinced its working correctly, so any thoughts would be appreciated. The problem may be that if your blog is relatively new, you won’t see ANY links in your posts for related-posts, as the post looks at your database for similarities.

The weird pop-up page at the script running is still a bit suspicious, and it’s not surprising that people may have problems with the plugin because there is absolutely nothing to guide you along the way. And yes I stand by that statement knowing there is a make-shift wiki for the plugin.

The problem is this statement here:
“If this is your first time installing this plugin please click the link for index table setup script at the bottom of the options page. You only need to do this once when you install the plugin for the first time. If automatic setup fails (can happen and may not even be my fault) read on ..”

There is no definition for ‘FAIL’. I would expect some kind of error message telling me it failed, or something, which is why I was confused, when I ran the script and it opened a window displaying my custom 404 error page.

I am still not 100% convinced this thing is working on my blog yet, as I don’t have many posts for the relation aspect to work, however I did find one source of my answer at the following link.

I would like to figure out if I am having a problem with Wasabi Related Posts. Since so little is actually posted about this on the wiki (correct actions and such) I thought I would add it here and see if anyone has any thoughts on this.

I installed Wasabi and activated the plug-in. At the bottom of the page is a link that runs an MySQL script. When I click the link, a new window opens, and displays my 404 page.

My Question is, is this normal? Does that mean its activated?

Well, I thought maybe it was a problem, so I decided to go ahead and run the script manually in phpMySQL admin (or whatever its called) here is the script I ran;

ALTER TABLE wp_posts ADD FULLTEXT post_related (post_name , post_content)

When I ran this script here is the MySQL error I recieved.

Error

SQL query:

ALTER TABLE wp_posts ADD FULLTEXT post_related (
post_name ,
post_content
)

MySQL said: Documentation
#1061 – Duplicate key name ‘post_related’

So here is what I am thinking. I am thinking the first time I ran the script from the front end, it actually worked. Running the script a second time caused the error.

Any thoughts? Please I would really like some help on this, because I have heard how great this plugin is. Is there a way to test to see if it is working properly?
