Well, your problem seems to be the same I had. And that’s where that altered line of code came in:
“All I had to do was change the $single_post_content line to this:
foreach($catposts as $single): $single_post_content = $single->post_excerpt;
… where post_excerpt replaces post_content.”
That did it for me. Hope it works.
Hi Marcus, maybe you’re using the wrong category ID?
I did this three months ago and honestly don’t remember exactly how it worked, but it could help if you publish a link.Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: Just a thought: Couldn't you have included a warning for 3.1?Clearly one issue here is there’s among users a lot of different levels of knowledge and understanding of how WP works. My request was not intended as a mean-spirited gripe against developers, to whom I’m really thankful. But there should be an understanding that a lot of us have no idea how to fix some of the issues caused by upgrades. Hence, my request for some type of warning about what’s gonna change/be affected.
In my case, my homepage was quite screwed up after the upgrade and I’m at a stage I can’t spend time figuring out what was wrong. So I decided to lay off the updates for a while. I guess I’ll go back to performing them later this year, when I find the time.

In reply to: Just a thought: Couldn't you have included a warning for 3.1?Ok, maybe this amount of trouble is to be expected and in the big picture is not relevant.
Just a thought for all the people who filled the first page of this forum with 3.1 issues.
Ok, I figured this out by myself! So here it is for anyone as ignorant as myself.
[For me, PHP is like being in a foreign country where I’m using a phrase book to find the bus terminal. Don’t know the language but I usually, slowly, get there.]
My theme had a conflict with the neat_trim function, so I had to delete that for the plugin to work.
Here’s what I wrote –you’ll tell me how unorthodox it is– to have the thumbnail AND the manually-written post excerpt in the page that displays a category’s posts.
All I had to do was change the $single_post_content line to this:
foreach($catposts as $single): $single_post_content = $single->post_excerpt;
… where post_excerpt replaces post_content.
Again, big thanks to Pneumonic for helping out.
I just realized one thing though: it doesn’t use the manual excerpt but the first 500 words from the actual post. How can I change that?
Thanks a bunch.I used the whole code you posted in the other thread and it works like a charm: https://es.diegograglia.net/horahispana/
I just need to style it a bit and it’ll be perfect.
Thank you very very much, Pneumonic.Forum: Installing WordPress
In reply to: WP install on Go Daddy won't let me sign inHi everyone, just wanted to say that I had the same problem: Trying to log in, the boxes would go blank, with no error message, nothing.
I tried changing the password through Phpmyadmin first, didn’t work.
Then I added the “www” to the url through Phpmyadmin as ClaytonJames recommended. And it worked!
Thanks all.

In reply to: [Plugin: Audio Player] Embed scripts in footerThis did work for me and so far the player doesn’t seem to be affected.
I was trying to speed up my home page and YSlow signalled Audio Player’s script was in the head. So I put it in the footer now.
Thanks.
