In reply to: Counterize II slowYou could reduce the number of records that counterize displays in the live hits section. I had this set quite high – higher than the default – and would always find FFX chugging when it was displaying. It should be in the options for counterize. New functionality to be able to select which of the data tables you wanted to view may resolve this to a point, if the developers wanted to tweak it.
I’ve just discovered that they don’t track the IP addresses of visitors any more – seems there’s some privacy issue in Germany, making such tracking illegal now. I’m thinking I’ll have a look around for another plugin that has this with GeoIP linking – they were invaluable parts of counterize that now don’t exist.
I don’t know how draconian Deutsche legislation tends to be but I’d hope including the functionality with it defaulting to be turned off would be enough to satisfy it from a developer’s responsibility viewpoint. The devs aren’t tracking the info – it would be an express action of the blog owner to turn it on and, if it happens to be illegal in the country of use, the end user/owner who would be liable. That way, the rest of the international user community wouldn’t be stymied and the devs should be covered.
Still, I’m in Australia and the blacklist, compulsory filtering legislation they’re talking about here will just block anything that looks like it may have a chance of being rated over a 13 year old level. Supposed ‘trials’ are currently taking place and the data collected is completely useless but it seems the federal government are going to force it anyways.

In reply to: auto enclosure not workingHas there been any resolution on this issue?
I’ve been finding it an intermittant problem – seemingly depending on the individual post.
I’ve upgraded to the latest WP – 2.0.4 – hoping it was something that would have been resolved but it seems no dice…

In reply to: Broken Links in CommentsHey, thanks for the help on this – I just came up against the problem today.
Just out of interest, is this a WP bug? I don’t remember seeing the confirmation ‘Are you sure’ page before 2.0.3
Has it been resolved in 2.0.4?

In reply to: class-IXR.php Error in WP2.0I’ve recently upgraded to 2.0.2 and have come up against an error related to class-IXR.php when publishing – not when saving or save and continue editing.
Even though the error page displayed, on inspecting the site, the post was up. However, these posts included links to MP3 files which had usually been automatically detected and converted into enclosures. This seemed to be the sticking point that fired the error.
After having a quick look at the code, I tried, as a workaround, running the class-IXR file from the previous installation. I believe it was the call to the IXR_client class that was breaking, which I discovered wasn’t referenced in the new iteration of the class-IXR.php file.
It’s working fine now but I’m a little concerned that there might be some special updates in that file for 2.0.2 that may have been affected by reverting.

In reply to: Dashboard display issues in WP 2.0I had the exact same problem with an upgrade to 2.0.
It has something to do with a file/s leftover from the 1.5 install. The solution I found was to copy all the files for 2.0 to the server, including themes and plugins we’d had installed for 1.5, into a new directory, rename the existing directory to blog_old and rename the newly uploaded install to the proper directory name – blog in my case.
I’d run the upgrade script previously with the new 2.0 install and didn’t have to run it again – I assume the upgrade script updates the DB…
