 * I installed this plugin today and configured the widget to display 15 most recent
   posts. The Widget is definitely active, and the widget title “Multisite Latest
   Posts” does appear in the sidebar. But, no listings at all appear under it, even
   for my main index page where the widget is displayed (and this blog has several
   new posts from the last week).
 * The author’s page for this plugin shows no screen shots or FAQ’s, so I do not
   know what to expect or when to expect it, but it does not appear to be working.
   If I figure it out I’ll post a follow-up.

 * Hi **summitlake**,
 * Sorry to hear that but I’ve fixed that issue in my new version (1.2).
 * Thanks

 * Thanks, but still not resolved for me: no change from my post on 1.0. I found
   the screenshots but cannot tell when one would expect to see them. Does 1.0-1.2
   capture the most recent 5 or more existing multisite posts going back to before
   installation/update, or should the user expect to see results only on new posts
   after installation/update?

 * Hi there,
 * The way the plug-in work is grab all the posts from the all blogs no matter what
   they are posted before the plug-in install then put them into the mysql view 
   table and sort them base on the posted dates.
 * Are you using wordpress 3.0 multisite or wordpress MU?
 * Thanks

 * Using WP 3.01 multisite … if there is supposed to be a table with the string ‘
   view’ in the name, there is no such table in my mysql installation.

 * Hi,
 * Actually, view is not the table name. It is mysql view type table.
    In your DB,
   there should be a table name called **your table prefix + ms_posts**. If you 
   didn’t change the table prefix when you installed your wordpress, table name 
   will be wp_ms_posts.

 * My posts tables are wp_posts, wp_2_posts, wp_3_posts thru wp_10_posts. No table
   at all has an _ms_ in the string.
 * I see you are hard coding your mySQL query for [base_prefix.”ms_posts.*]. So 
   this would not work for me.
 * I’m not having any other issues operating my single 3.0 multisite installation(
   replacing 10 separate older 2.9 installations), so it appears my installation
   isn’t compatible with the configuration you are developing with.
 * I’ve been posting my multiple-site WP post excerpts manually on the “home” page
   for years now, and it’s not really that inconvenient. It just seemed that it 
   would be neat if an aggregator could take over the chore.
 * Thanks.

 * Got the same problem..
 * My posts tables are also: wp_posts, wp_2_posts, wp_3_posts and so on… No _ms_
   in the string for me either. How could i change that? Would love to use this 
   plugin!

 * Hi,
 * It is a little bit difficult to sort it out because my plugin works well on my
   client sites even with different configurations.
    Obviously I can’t access your
   database so I can’t tell what is giving you such a problem. Are there any error
   message or something?
 * 200+ users downloaded my plugin and they never rated my plugin or wrote any feedback
   so I can’t not tell my plugin is working well or not on their sites.
 * I will also look into it again. At the same time you try to deactivate one of
   your blogs (**not the plugin**) and reactivate it again.
 * Thanks!

 * 200 downloads and no feedback is discouraging. Whether or not a plugin meets 
   all expectations, users should certainly take a minute to share feedback with
   open source authors.
 * I did research this before I found and tried your plugin. I was not expecting
   it could be done with a plain 3.0 installation (no buddypress, no related parallel
   installations). But I knew I could be wrong.
 * I would have to set up a test blog and then deactivate _that_, but to be honest,
   I currently still just copy and paste excerpts by hand, so I uninstalled the 
   plugin.
 * Instead, please, let me ask you this: is your plugin designed to work under a
   brand-new 3.0 installation configured for multisite, 2+ blogs on a single database,
   and NO other plugins or support apps?
 * All I did for 3.0 MS is follow the how-to’s which resulted in the table naming
   we already discussed. I’m not delighted with it (strange permalinks) but it works
   flawlessly. And, Google and my readers are using published permalinks.
 * It could take a lot of work to reconfigure a 10-blog site for a new table name(
   table prefix + ms_posts). This would probably change all the permalinks. As a“
   drop table” situation with a powerful text editor, this brings a lot of high-
   risk change with possible downtime.
 * So, it would be better if the plugin can work with the standard table names we
   have now.
 * Can you tell us why there would be two different naming conventions and where
   the _ms_ naming scheme originally came from?
 * Thanks — Alex

 * Yes! It is. I’ve developed this plugin using brand-new wordpress 3.0 multisite
   enabled.
 * > It could take a lot of work to reconfigure a 10-blog site for a new table name(

 * Plugin will create only one table named (table prefix)+ms_posts (normally it 
   is wp_ms_posts). Table type is “views” type (virtual table)
 * >  Can you tell us why there would be two different naming conventions and where

 * **ms** came from the plugin name “**m**ulti**s**ite”. Like the other pulgins 
   do (e.g NextGen Gallery plugin creates wp_ngg_album)

 * There were several different “how-to’s” posted of varying clarity. Perhaps some
   of us picked one using the different table naming scheme we discussed. Not knowing
   if the recommended naming scheme also had to match hard-coded 3.0 multisite requirements,
   we would have just used what our particular “how to” recommended.
 * As to your question about error messages, I never saw any browser errors. I don’t
   remember if I checked the server error log, but I’m pretty sure I would have.
 * You asked about table names earlier. Apologies for the post length, but my database
   and table names wp_ through wp_10_ are listed below (wp_4 thru wp_9 omitted for
   brevity):
 * wp_1 (108)
 *  wp_2_commentmeta
    wp_2_comments wp_2_links wp_2_options wp_2_postmeta wp_2_posts
   wp_2_terms wp_2_term_relationships wp_2_term_taxonomy wp_2_weatherxml wp_3_commentmeta
   wp_3_comments wp_3_links wp_3_options wp_3_postmeta wp_3_posts wp_3_terms wp_3_term_relationships
   wp_3_term_taxonomy wp_3_weatherxml …. wp_10_commentmeta wp_10_comments wp_10_links
   wp_10_options wp_10_postmeta wp_10_posts wp_10_terms wp_10_term_relationships
   wp_10_term_taxonomy wp_10_weatherxml wp_blogs wp_blog_versions wp_commentmeta
   wp_comments wp_links wp_options wp_postmeta wp_posts wp_registration_log wp_signups

 * Hi, I love this plugin and it worked great for me before I upgraded to wordpress
   3.1 (I find myself typing these lines a lot!)
    No only the heading shows up and
   no posts. This was a really nice functionality, which is very basic to a multisite/
   multiuser blog
