I think I see my problem — I’m using “Sociable” version 3.5.2 from https://blogplay.com/plugin when I thought I was using the new one. Sorry about that!

If I install the new one and find it I’ll let you know.

I’m having same problem with excerpts carrying with them the baggage of sociable links (WP 3.1, Sociable for 3.0). So, I end up with a page with

Page content
[sociable]

child excerpt 1
[sociable]

child excerpt 2
[sociable]

child excerpt 3
[sociable]

I tried using CSS to override the child sociables but I’m not getting anywhere.

I’m also interested in something like this — I’m using code in my page.php to print excerpts of child pages after the content of the page itself.

so, the_content is generating the page content along with the sociable toolbar.

then, the_excerpt is called for each child page and each of them also has the sociable toolbar included.

I tried a little CSS dabbling to do “display: none;” for some of the classes and ID’s that I thought would match the excerpts but either I’m not good enough to figure it out or it’s just not the right way to do it.

Any suggestions? I’m probably gonna need to ditch sociable unless I can restrict it’s use to full post/page displays and not excerpts.

You can get to the settings by going to the Plugins dashboard and navigating down to Sociable plugin. There’s a Settings link in the “Deactivate / Edit / Delete” section.

Or you can navigate to

https://wpsite/wp-admin/options-general.php?page=Sociable

if you want to get there manually.

Same problem here, but replace “plugin” with “automatic upgrade from RC1 to RC2. I saw RC2 got released so I decided to test the auto-upgrade and it just hung at “unpacking blahblahblah”. The rc1 install was a new db, new clean install.

Then I went over to my 2.6.5 blog to do an auto-upgrade of one of the plugins (wp-db-backup to 2.2.2 I believe) and it also hung at unpacking.

The browse/install of plugins on rc1 worked fine yesterday, and the browse/install of new plugins on rc2 also works fine today. I don’t know if that piece of data helps or not.

I’m unsure if there’s a directory or file permissions issue that might be related. My provider is 1&1.

I’m getting error 500 for export.php as well. However I have other blogs running same wordpress version (2.3.3) on the same exact server and I can export just fine.

My apache access log shows:

and it’s the line with the author=all that gives the 500 error. I’ve tried restricting to one particular author and it still gives me the error.

Anyone know what else I should try?

ok, I figured it out. I wrote a quick “test” php script that tested strtotime on the dates that were coming from my RSS feed (I was using MyBloggie) and it was returning -1. So I changed my rss.php from mybloggie to just hardcode “CST” as the timezone and now it’s working great.

So the problem was my source RSS feed, not the import script.

What hack did you use? I’m finding the “Search feature” on this wordpress site none-too-feature rich. I’m trying to find out why all my RSS2.0 blog entries that I’m importing into wordpress 2.0.4 all have 1969 dates (actually, it ends up being midnight, jan 1, 1970 GMT but of course displayed in my time zome).

I’ve checked that <pubDate> tags in my original blog are correct, and they are.

Example:
<pubDate>Sat, 26 Aug 2006 11:46:45 0-500</pubDate>

The rss import code is basically doing this:

preg_match('|<pubdate>(.*?)</pubdate>|is', $post, $post_date);
$post_date = strtotime($post_date[1]);
$post_date = gmdate('Y-m-d H:i:s', $post_date);

so I’m not sure if maybe my php isn’t working right or what. But I checked the database and it’s actually putting in the bad dates (1969 minus my time zome).

Anyone have a fix? I have hundreds of entries, so this Excel workaround isn’t great for me (unless I’m missing a more automated way).
