This might or might not be related, but my WP 2.7 install broke under the weight of more than 2,000 queries spawned by the more fields plugin. Most look like this (from a dump of the more fields settings screen):

Query: SELECT * FROM wp_posts WHERE ID = 1647 LIMIT 1
Time: 0.00081110000610352
Caller: require_once, require_once, require_once, require_once, do_action, call_user_func_array, more_fields_object->flush_rewrite_rules, WP_Rewrite->flush_rules, WP_Rewrite->wp_rewrite_rules, WP_Rewrite->rewrite_rules, WP_Rewrite->page_rewrite_rules, WP_Rewrite->page_uri_index, get_page_uri, get_page, get_post

Query: SELECT post_parent FROM wp_posts WHERE ID = 1544 LIMIT 1
Time: 0.00067400932312012
Caller: require_once, require_once, require_once, require_once, do_action, call_user_func_array, more_fields_object->flush_rewrite_rules, WP_Rewrite->flush_rules, WP_Rewrite->wp_rewrite_rules, WP_Rewrite->rewrite_rules, WP_Rewrite->page_rewrite_rules, WP_Rewrite->page_uri_index, get_page_uri, get_page, get_post, _get_post_ancestors

Indeed, it is incredibly slow. Trying to get to the bottom of this…

Check into Lester Chan’s suite of plugins: WP-Ratings should be the one for you. I recommend it highly (and his support forums are pretty good, all things considered).

There is also a Comment Karma plugin that will do the same for user comments.

EC3 with the patch is working fine for me on the WP 2.6 branch. I’ve gotten around the abandonment issue by modifying it to suit my needs. The other calendar plugins, after a bit of testing, seemed a bit too “feature rich” and awkward for me.

Looks like I can answer my own question! $wp_query->post_count will return the results per page instead of total results. Oh well.

This seems best then:

$mySearch =& new WP_Query("s=$s & showposts=-1");
$num = $mySearch->post_count;

$more = 0 did it for me. Thanks.

I think this is a query_posts problem; you need to specify the $paged parameter or something like that. Look around, there are tips for this. (I haven’t fixed my problem but my query is much more complex…)

That worked perfectly. Thanks.

EC3 works with 2.5 if you patch it–that’s all I know. I’m more interested in the others but converting a database of hundreds of events to some new plugin requires as much foreknowledge as can be found here on the WP support forum… which, at the moment, doesn’t seem like too much ?? but here’s hoping…

I suspect support for this plugin has been discontinued.
