Same here – building a site that relies heavily on extended category descriptions, and not being able to search them will be difficult to explain to users/client. Using v6.3.3 of Search Everything, it turns up posts in related categories, but not the category pages themselves.

Any fix on the horizon for this? Thanks.

Looks like this is a bug that’s actually being worked on:
https://core.trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/10332

But it’s not fixed in 2.8.4 ??

I’d love to find an answer to this one too – very weird!

Riledel – I know there are a number of events and file sharing plugins for WP, but I haven’t seen one that will present unique views of these things to individual users (for example, you’d need to be able to select a target user during file upload and that info would need to be stored in the db; same for events). If you have a specific plugin in mind, please illuminate!

Thanks,
Scot

I think I’ve gotten to the bottom of how and where iframe is disabled in WP, and have written a tutorial for journalists explaining what needs to change to have relatively easy Google Map publishing capabilities:

Using Google Maps in WordPress

Question: Since it’s possible to solve this same problem by disabling the Visual Editor, it’s clear that WordPress itself does not consider iframe a security issue. And since it’s possible to make this change to tinymce without breaking things, it’s clear that iframe isn’t a problem in general for tinymce. So why in the world is iframe disabled by default, but only at the tinymce layer?

For those of us managing large WP installation bases through a checkout system, hacking core is NOT a viable solution. But this iframe problem has vexed WordPress forever. What’s the story?

Thanks for the tip.

FWIW, I did get one good suggestion on IRC – not a plugin, but a javascript system called feed2js. Looks promising. Other suggestions welcome.

moshu’s solution works perfectly for me. Just add:

<?php $more = 0; ?>

before the query.

mach2racer – Thank GOD that little tree icon was removed. It worked very differently from the proper media library / uploader and confused users by its presence. I’ve wasted a lot of time explaining to users why they shouldn’t click the tree icon…

Ah, turns out it wasn’t fetch_rss causing this, but Twitter changed their atom feeds to run through a password protected bloglines account. But vanilla RSS still works. Thanks anyway whoo good to know.

So is there no setting that can be passed in for affecting the cache lifetime/length? I’d like to do something like 30 minutes, but it seems to be caching for more than 12 hours (and obviously I don’t want to be digging around in mysql tables all the time).

Thanks.

For one of my user’s sites, this problem cropped with the Sidebar Module plugin. Fortunately they didn’t need it / weren’t using it and we were able to safely disable it.

I encountered the same problem – this plugin gives an “HTTP error” when uploading any file to WP 2.5.

The solution is easy – delete the plugin and install this one instead:

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/registered-users-only/

Does the same thing, but more securely and without breaking uploads.

In my case, this turned out to be a conflict with the “Registered Only” plugin. Disabling that fixed the problem. I then found a replacement plugin:

https://www.ads-software.com/extend/plugins/registered-users-only/

that does not have this problem.

I’ve got a blog where prev_post and next_post suddenly stopped working altogether. Replaced them with the newer previous_post_link and next_post_link, but no dice. Suddenly these just output blanks. Haven’t changed templates at all recently. Weird. Ideas?
