Excellent result songdotech.
All working fine now..
Many thanks.

Thank you, songdotech.
I’ll post my result here soon.

That helped me very much, too. My series are almost back to normal. The only problem is that all my series have been grouped together into one enormous list! I used to have one series of 30 posts and another of 13 posts, quite separate. Today I have 43 post in one column!.

I need to clean things up manually, I think. There are remnants of code left from when I was using version 2.0, so I will do a little housekeeping, before I come back.

It’s a great plugin. ??

It turned out to be a permalinks issue. I changed from the Day and Name setting, saved and viewed the site. The interior links to pages and archives worked fine. Yippee!

I then changed back to my original permalinks setting of Day and Name. All works fine now. (Using WordPress 3.0 now)

The instructions are really thin on detail, and I end up wondering which of my (dubious) assumptions will supply a solution that works.
No success so far.

Thank you for this htaccess code, it has saved me many (more) hours of tearing my hair out.

Hi greencode,

Did you simply upload the wp-config.php file, or did you do a complete rebuild of the MySQL database at the same time?

I’m dealing with a new hosting company and the MySQL tables use three different character sets! Picture here.

I’d be happy to know that such a tiny change in the wp-config.php file would lead to such a good result.

Thank you MichaelH. My name is also MichaelH(irsh) so replying to you is rather strange!

Your addition of Emmanuel Gorjeon’s EG Series (I wonder how he dreamt up that plugin’s name?) is a really gratifying discovery for me.
Just after writing that comment to rughooker, I loaded up Darren Ethier’s ‘Organize Series’ plug in and got Fatal Errors, no matter how many other plugins I disabled.
I then turned to install Justin Tadlock’s ‘Series’ plugin.

I don’t know whether it’s just me being thick, or whether anyone else finds his installation and use instructions are a bit vague and generalised, but after reading the readme file several times, I still had little idea of how to deploy the plugin, step by step.

I was reluctant to pay to join his support forum until I knew how the plugin behaved, and whether it was right for my blog.
If I were to have a problem with the plugin, then I think it fair enough to pay for support, but I didn’t feel it was right to pay for an accurate how-to of the functioning of ‘Series’. Sorry, Justin

Which is why it’s good to discover EG-Series; It seems to tick all the boxes, at least on first sight. I’ll give it a whirl and report back if it’s successful.

At the present time, there are three WordPress plugins that organise series of posts.
Travis Snoozy’s ‘In Series‘, Darren Ethier’s ‘Organize Series‘, and Justin Tadlock’s ‘Series‘.

Travis Snoozy’s In-Series has served me well for a couple of years, but he is expressing reluctance about maintaining the plugin after several recent changes in WordPress’ core.
This means that in the long term, you have a choice between Darren Ethier’s Organize Series and Justin Tadlock’s Series.

They both exploit a new taxonomy function in WordPress that is unlikely to be altered for a long time. The downside (for me, anyway) is that I have to get my head around some concepts which are very new to me, but I’ll be happy to grapple with new stuff if it means I can keep my series in order!

I’ll almost certainly use ‘Organize Series’ because of the huge amount of helpful documentation on the authors site.

Where is the “best” place to insert the code into the theme’s function.php?

This post deals with the Core Upgrade Host Compatibility issues.
1 & 1 is mentioned near the bottom of the page in the Works with caveats section.
Their version of PHP (4.4.9) is causing problems for me, with WordPress database errors [MySQL server has gone away]

Maybe this post in the WordPress forums will help you.

I executed the fix recommended above in the robsnotebook.com link.
The WordPress database error: [MySQL client ran out of memory] did not go away….

Because I had been updating plugins minutes before this error occurred, I started to de-activate the plugins one by one.
The first plugin I de-activated was WP Super Cache 0.9
The database error vanished immediately and my dashboard returned to normal.

Someone smarter than me will immediately see the significance of that plugin and its expected, normal behaviour, and how that behaviour might mess with the database.

I’m glad that I dumbly blundered into my solution so quickly.

I too am mystified by this feature.
I need to present a group of links in order, but not in alphabetical order.
Ordering by Link ID suggests itself to be the ideal way to do it, but I cannot find any method of assigning IDs to links.

Thanks in advance.
