[Plugin: Featured Custom Posts Widget] Permalink Base Not Working With Subdirectory Install

    The permalink base feature does not work properly if WordPress is installed in a sub-directory but mapped to load from the root. I believe the get_bloginfo() call on line 70 in featured_custom_posts_widget.php should be using ‘siteurl’ rather than ‘wpurl’. I’ve patched my copy and it works perfectly.

    The way it’s being done currently, instead of a permalink base of “/custom_posts” mapping to domain.tld/custom_posts/… you get domain.tld/sub-directory/custom_posts/… which results in a 404 error.

    Hi @billsmithem,

    Thanks for bringing this to my attention. I’ll include this in the next release. Much appreciated.

    Nice,

    In the mean time I made a quick hack, um.. fix for this.

    I changed line 70 of “featured_custom_posts_widget.php” from..

    $url = $args['permalink_base'] ? get_bloginfo('wpurl').$args['permalink_base']."/".$post->post_name : $post->guid;

    to..

    $url = $args['permalink_base'] ? get_bloginfo('url').$args['permalink_base']."/".$post->post_name : $post->guid;

    All I’ve done is change get_bloginfo(‘wpurl‘) to get_bloginfo(‘url‘).

    It’ll be nice to remove this when the new version comes.

    Cheers,

    Michael.
