same problem here on 2.7 official release

Thanks, hadn’t tried that yet. I have now, and still no change. :/

Now I am noticing that I can’t delete an inactive plugin, the option isn’t in the dropdown. This is seriously driving me nuts, especially since I’ve had a post on here for over a month now asking for help.

you know, the first time i noticed this problem was when cforms first went into the 9.x versions and made a big deal about upgrading, could this have had an effect?

I know wp.org has great support, there’s gotta be an answer. It’s telling me that new versions are available, posting them in yellow, but it’s not giving me the automatic link. Not even now that I’ve upgraded to 2.7.

Where’s the fun if i can’t have the one click update?

awesome! Just what I needed! Thanks!

Awesome! I love WordPress!!!

I am having this same exact problem here: https://www.bahairights.org

No matter what category I choose, I get this page: https://www.bahairights.org/category/

When i tried entering it without the widget with this code:

<li>
<h2>categories</h2>
	<form action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/" method="get">
<?php
	$select = wp_dropdown_categories('show_option_none=Select Category&show_count=1&orderby=name&echo=0');
	$select = preg_replace("#<select([^>]*)>#", "<select$1 onchange='return this.form.submit()'>", $select);
	echo $select;
?>
	<noscript><input type="submit" value="View" /></noscript>
	</form>
	</li>

I still got the same result.

When I change the permalinks to the default, the dropdown works. This widget works on other sites without any problems. Can anyone help?

Google doesn’t know what a sidebar is, but it does know what a high level heading is and putting the word “Categories” in a level 2 heading is not good SEO.

Changing the theme’s functions.php like gonzor said is the right way to fix this. However, if someone isn’t using widgets and they have the problem that moshu mentioned where the bookmark titles are still giving you h2’s, then simply edit your sidebar.php where it gives the code for the bookmarks like this:

<?php wp_list_bookmarks('title_before=<h4>&title_after=</h4>'); ?>

i’m trying to do something similar, this is what I had, but it gives me nothing:

<?php
$parent = $post->post_parent;
$grandparent = $parent->post_parent;
echo $grandparent;
?>

I think what you’re wanting is what is like we have set up on https://www.i-cmg.com. After a post in the “Hot Issues” is a the set amount of days old, it moves them to the “Archived Issues” category. You can also set this up to just delete the post.

We used the Auto Delete plugin, but made it actually work for 2.5, since the present one does not. Seems like we did a little further tweaking to it, but I’m not sure. If you’re interested in this, then contact me at tammy -a t- tammyhartdesigns.com

Oh my goodness!!! this is the second time I have spent hours searching for a solution only to find that it was a couple of spaces after the closing ?> … how exaughsting! thanks for reminding me to check something so simple. ??

I deleted the active_plugin row, but i’m still getting the blank page

LSRN94’s answer worked for me. Seems like a pretty big error to have to be hunted down and fixed like this…

erick_paper, in wp-includes/default-filters.php find this code:

$filters = array('term_description');
foreach ( $filters as $filter ) {
	add_filter($filter, 'wptexturize');
	add_filter($filter, 'convert_chars');
	add_filter($filter, 'wpautop');

comment out the last line, works like a charm!
