In reply to: [ActivityPub] First Time User FeedbackYeah, it took a couple of days, I guess, and now my test post appeared. Judging by this support board, it might be good to advise new users “it may take a couple of days for new posts to appear on your Mastodon server.”

In reply to: caption shortcode inserts blank paragraphShort answer is something got trimmed from the markup inserted in to the post. I switched to the HTML editor, deleted and reinserted the shortcode, and everything looked fine.
My resolution: per prwood I reverted my database, then dropped these tables prior to upgrade:
drop table wp_terms; drop table wp_term_taxonomy; drop table wp_term_relationships;Upgrade to 2.2.3 then completed without errors and all my categories are still healthy.

Hello,
In trying to upgrade, I keep hitting the same snag as well. I’m using SVN to switch the code base from 2.2.3.
Even if I disable plugins, anything from 2.3 on causes errors like MCBO to be thrown by the upgrade script. The script completes and says it was successful, but then all my categories are empty of their posts.
Anyone?
Thanks,

In reply to: backslash*sigh*
This thing interpolated my ampersand amp semicolon and then parsed the reference literally, so:
AMPERSAND HASH NINE TWO SEMICOLON
& # 9 2 ;
Without the spaces.

In reply to: backslashType the HTML character entity:
\If you have a unix system, man ASCII and refer to the decimal table for character entity references.
Maybe they should add editor buttons for special characters. 🙂

In reply to: Reverse order postingI recently added paged category archive posting. I realized things eren’t working quite right, so now my
.htaccesshas been amended:# Reverse-Order pages within world-tour/
RewriteRule ^category/(world-tour.*)/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$ /index.php?category_name=$1&paged=$2&order=ASC [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^category/(.+)/page/?([0-9]{1,})/?$ /index.php?category_name=$1&paged=$2 [QSA,L]
# Reverse-Order pages within world-tour/
RewriteRule ^category/(world-tour.*)/?$ /index.php?category_name=$1&order=ASC [QSA,L]
RewriteRule ^category/(.+)/?$ /index.php?category_name=$1 [QSA,L]Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: $single not always accurate — suggestions?<i>What you probably want is a way of redirecting to an individual post when a paged category listing has only one entry, but I don’t know of a hack or plugin that would accomplish this.</i>
That would be neat, but I must walk before I can fly. Thank you, Kafkaesqui for the is_single() advice.

In reply to: Reverse order postingHi.
Here is how to RECURSIVELY reverse-order a group of categories, by hacking .htaccess.
Compare:
http://dannyman.toldme.com/category/technology/Contrast:
http://dannyman.toldme.com/category/world-tour/
http://dannyman.toldme.com/category/world-tour/jordan/Okay, howto?
In my .htaccess, I put this:
RewriteRule ^category/(world-tour.+)/?$ /index.php?category_name=$1&order=ASC [QSA,L]Right before this line:
RewriteRule ^category/(.+)/?$ /index.php?category_name=$1 [QSA,L]Ditto for chronological archives:
RewriteRule ^(archive)/?([0-9]+)?/?$ /index.php?pagename=$1&page=$2&order=ASC [QSA,L]Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Posts updatedAnother recently modified hack. 😉
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: Post OrderingHey.
I just got this working.
Add order=ASC to a URL.
I am using the rewrite rules, so now for month and year pages, by modifying one rewrite rule, I have ascending, chronological posts:
RewriteRule ^([0-9]{4})/?([0-9]{1,2})?/?([0-9]{1,2})?/?([_0-9a-z-]+)?/?([0-9]+)?/?$ /index.php?year=$1&monthnum=$2&day=$3&name=$4&page=$5&order=ASC [QSA]Forum: Fixing WordPress
