Here’s the code for the other plugin

If you know any reason why the two can’t co-exist or have any suggestions to fix it I’d appreciate it, as I’d like to keep them both…

I see that the link to that plugin is no longer active so I’m not sure what’s happening. The author’s website is gone.

Instead of upgrading WP I deactivated FirstRSS – Exapanded version 7.10.18 and your contact form worked, so there is obviously some sort of incompatibility between the plugins.

OK, I’ll try the upgrade on a test website. If that doesn’t work it must be some sort of incompatibility

Hi Mike
2.6.5

I understand 2.6+ is OK

Hosted with bluehost. As far as I know they meet PHP requirements

P.S. FYI on the right hand side of this page (just above the resolved/unresolved status) it has the WP version, if people input it ??

Just an extra note. I’ve tried viewing the page in IE7 and Firefox

A couple of extra questions…

Will the permalinks stay the same when we transfer the blog?

We have been linking to the blogger labels e.g. https://www.emotionalwellbeingblog.com/search/label/Depression for everything on depression. Will those links still work if we shift the blog to wordpress? I have found a label to category converter but I’m not sure what will happen to the links within posts to each of these labels.

Thanks

You could have said that you were doing private posts from the beginning, you know.

This is a known issue, 2.7 does not fix it.

See: https://trac.www.ads-software.com/ticket/7745

Short version: Private posts are always published. This has to do with the internals of private posts, and there is no way to future publish something that is private.

It never occurred to me that wordpress treats them differently. I like to go in once a week and schedule everything.

I’ll look at the role manager workaround to restrict who can see some posts, but I think I’ve already looked at it and found it had some flaws for a membership based blog

I’m not sure if it is a display error or a bug but it’s not working. Personally I think it is a bug.

The private posts show up in the sidebar for a user that is not logged in to the site. That means that they are still “displayed” as published for users who are not logged in. If the post isn’t scheduled to go up for a week it shouldn’t be in the sidebar. Period. Given the way the sidebar widget works I’d have to assume it is NOT a display error but instead that the post IS published as far as wordpress is concerned.

People get an error message when they try to view the posts saying they need to log in, but they shouldn’t show at all.

On the dashboard, the posts are showing as aging inversely to the time they have been on the site. If a post is scheduled to go up in 5 mins it shows as 5 mins old, if it scheduled to go in 1 hour up it shows as 1 hour old on the dashboard. This is likely a display error as they show in the correct order and times on the blog, but I think displaying them under most recent posts must be a bug.

Going back to the discussion we’ve been having in the other thread on members only sections, other people must also be having this issue unless they are publishing all their posts immediately.

I don’t think that the fix for 2.7 addresses this issue. Private posts that are scheduled 5 mins from now or 5 days from now shouldn’t be showing in the recent posts list for non-admin readers

Thanks for your help on the other thread.

Looking in admin mode wasn’t causing the scheduled posts to show before the due date, but after logging out I had to post some public posts to test what other people see when they look at the website and found that ticking the private post box is causing errors in future dated posts.

Now for the solution…

I think I’ve worked out what the problem is and it looks like it is a wordpress bug

If I tick the private posts box, it posts immediately no matter what time or date is on the post

But if I don’t tick the private posts box so they are public then it works fine and schedules the posts

This must be a bug????

I’d appreciate it if someone else could test the private versus public post options to see if that is what is screwing this up! Also, I am on 2.5.1 so maybe this is fixed in a later version?

The private posts seem to have an inverse relationship with the time scheduling function

Says it was posted 24 hours ago but it was scheduled to post 24 hours from now
24 hours ago test 1 day from now — Private

Says it was posted 53 mins ago but it was scheduled to post 1 hour from the post time
53 mins ago test 1 hour from now — Private

Says it was posted 3 mins ago but it was scheduled to post 5 minutes from the post time
3 mins ago test 5 minutes from this time — Private

Hi Mosey
Thanks for that suggestion. I know I have logged out and checked the posts the first time I was testing this but not recently

I will try testing a few posts and then logging out to see what shows on the screen!

No problems mosey. Hope you had a good holiday

Right now my challenge is a problem with scheduling posts in advance so I backburnered the membership problem! I’ve not heard of Mensk.

It doesn’t appear to integrate to a payment system but does appear to manage members and content.
