Hmm, thanks for that, but I don’t see how this plugin would solve the issue – it extends the possibilities for the custom field but the problem is that the custom field is not being called at all.

Just tried adding custom fields to the posts that it’s loading – no effect (still nothing in the sidebar).

Might still be on the right track though – I still think it’s something about the loop…

Thanks – that makes a lot of sense. The sidebar is loaded after (which is necessary the way the theme is laid out…).

Any way you can see to get around that? Maybe set $post to another variable before starting the query_posts loop, although that might screw with my sidebar…

likorish – I know what you mean, and I don’t have an answer for you.

What Likorish means is, when the front page is static, what should you use as your main posts page – the page that would usually appear as the home page?

My workaround for this has been to create a separate template with a query_posts loop in it, and point another static page at this, but it isn’t a good solution.

Equally, if you are going to get your hands dirty with code, and particularly code provided solely through the goodwill of others, you should enter into the spirit of open source and be prepared to learn something yourself. WordPress is designed with novice users in mind, but if you want to mess with the code itself, a small understanding of php – which is not a complicated language – would probably help.

Providing code for free, on your own time, is certainly not an insult, particularly when the recipient is ungrateful and unwilling to spend their own time working a little of it out for themselves.

For the record, this is the full code you need:


//if user is logged in
<?php if ( $user_ID ) { ?>
[insert the link you want here]

// otherwise do nothing
<?php } else { } ?>

A little politeness and humility will get you a long way.

I discovered the problem. A while ago I edited my htaccess file for no-www – so that my domain at https://www.booktwo.org always redirected to https://booktwo.org.

However, the options in WP were still set to www. Removing the www subdomain from the options fixed the problem.

Addendum: I can save posts by hitting “Save and continue editing” THEN saving/publishing, but not if I just save it.

I’m having the same problem, which has appeared out of nowhere on two separate installations of different versions of WP on different servers. Neither have been upgraded/had plugins added or anything similar for a while.

It might well be related to the problems with the editor, which I’ve also had in some installations, and have made numerous support enquiries about, to no avail.

Nice one kids – it’s the loop in the sidebar that’s causing the problem. Thanks so much.

(Another thread suggested that the permalinks were a problem, but that wasn’t it.)

If I kept a detailed changelog of every single thing I did when developing a theme, this wouldn’t happen. I need a global history, like in Photoshop…

moshu, ts: Thanks again.

You haven’t started a Loop, so there’s no ‘excerpt’ or ‘content’ to grab.

All the list-cats method does is get a list of categories and links to the archives for each of those cats. It doesn’t fetch the posts themselves.

Content and Excerpt tags need to be placed within the Loop to function. Read more here.

This topic is not resolved.

This seems like a crummy workaround however, and not a solution – particularly as many of these plugins disable the WP image uploader many of my users rely on.

People over here are suggesting replacing the text editor with a custom plugin: https://www.ads-software.com/support/topic/109105
