Yep. I said in #wordpress “give me a plugin to write”, you said “port Batch Categories to 2.0+”, I rewrote it, the rest is history. Heh.

I don’t think fetching RSS is really the right way to go about it, if you’re doing what I think you’re doing. Essentially, here is what would happen:

1. You create a new HTTP request to the feed URL.
2. WordPress fetches the posts from the database
3. WordPress generates the RSS for the given posts.
4. The script downloads the RSS.
5. The script parses the RSS.
6. The script displays the items.

If you just fetched the posts directly from the database—as the various “recent posts” plugins do—then you’d eliminate steps one, three, four, five and six, making things considerably faster and easier.

Definitely definitely safe. The unfiltered_html cap is only given to admins and certainly not to anonymous users or even registered ones.

This is something that has been safe in the WP core for literally years.

Parent pages are displaying backwards, for me at least. You seem to be using “rsort”, which sorts an array highest-to-lowest by key, with “array_reverse”, which simply reverses an array top-to-bottom.

Change line 159:

rsort($parents);

to:

$parents = array_reverse($parents);

Dunno if this applies to categories and the other sections as well, I’ve only tested with pages.

Sorted it – all it took was me updating my profile, whether I changed anything or not. I guess the upgrade process doesn’t (or at least didn’t in my case) import the user details into the new wp_usermeta table.

Hope this helps anyone else who has the same problem!
