Following an upgrade to WordPress 2.8.5, I attempted to re-validate my UMapper.com API Key and this time it worked.

This has yet to be resolved. I e-mailed the developer and this is the reply I received on Oct 20, 2009:
Thanks for your message. Our development team has been notified of this bug and will try to resolve it this week. Please keep an eye on our blog for announcements.
I am using WordPress 2.8.4, soon to be ugraded to 2.8.5, and UMapper Plugin 3.1.5.

In reply to: Incomplete WordPress eXtended RSS/WXR FileI am having this problem too. It appears that there may be a 2MB file size limit on the export/import WXR file. When I tried to export my blog entries, dating between July 2003 and September 2008, the WXR file only had entries up to part of 2005. Right now I’m accessing the blog on a flash drive and am using the WordPress.com service.
My solution, which will take a lot of extra work, is to break the MySQL file into two or three smaller chunks and export those. The WordPress Codex provides instructions on how to import a WXR file that’s too large.
I think this is definitely a problem that WordPress developers may not have foreseen, that some of us with large blogs may only be able to use the MySQL route in connection with WXR or instead of to successfully export/import our blogs.

In reply to: UMapper 1.3.71 Javascript errorThanks very much for that tip. I use the html editor and have consistently. I noticed the Visual/HTML tabs had disappeared from the post window area, but only after reenabling the visual editor while I was using Safari. The disappearance probably happened between an upgrade from WP 2.5.x to 2.6. I just never noticed. The plugin works again in IE 7 and Safari.

In reply to: UMapper 1.3.71 Javascript errorVictor, I saw that you’d uploaded a new version (1.3.75) today, so I installed that and got the same error in both IE 7 and Firefox 3.0. A hard refresh of the browser has no effect, there’s simply a blank URL/URL showing in the status bar that’s referencing a script. I also downloaded and installed the latest version of Safari (3.1.2) for Windows Vista. The plugin does not work with it either. I do not use any kind of caching with my WordPress site. I noticed that you claim that IE 7 does not play well with WordPress. I have not found this to be true at all, at least on the admin and plugin side, and in fact the only plugin that I’m continuing to have problems with is UMapper. Maybe it’s something to do with the Zend framework and the unclosed PHP tags. I’ll look forward to any kind of resolution you can offer.

In reply to: UMapper 1.3.71 Javascript errorThanks Victor. I can now confirm that this problem also exists with plugin version 1.3.71 in Mozilla Firefox 3.0.

In reply to: UMapper 1.3.71 Javascript errorI’m afraid that doing a hard refresh both within the Dashboard view and within the post editing window itself does not cure this problem. The client side works fine in IE 6 & 7, but I’m unable to call up the plugin by clicking on the U icon. The plugin had worked for editing, with a minor bug that you fixed, in WordPress 2.6 up until at least version 1.1.8.

In reply to: Referrers not parsed since upgrading to WordPress Stats 1.1.1This happened to me after I switched hosting providers and installed WordPress.com Stats plugin 1.1.1. My stats for my Ten Thousand Year Blog at http://www.davidmattison.ca/wordpress flatlined beginning on July 21, 2007. All I’m seeing is the list of incoming links. No other activity is being recorded. I am using WordPress 2.2.2, which I upgraded to around August 6, 2007. I switched hosting providers and reinstalled WordPress 2.2.1 on July 21, 2007. I installed the 1.1.1 plugin shortly thereafter. I’m using the Coffee Break Theme by Anthony Baggett (Antbangs.com), which I installed on July 22, 2007. I read in another forum thread on this issue of stats plugins not working that a theme might be lacking certain code, but it didn’t reveal what code that might be. Thanks for any help you PHP wizards can provide.

In reply to: Add Keywords and Description meta tagsI have Jerome’s Keywords plugin working on my site (http://www.davidmattison.ca/wordpress). I got some extra help from the developer by posting comments on Vapourtrails.ca. There were some errors in his documentation and he provided some PHP coding clarification for this non-programmer. My cosmos page, which is linked to every blog entry and includes my categories (I call them topics), is at http://www.davidmattison.ca/wordpress/?page_id=1147

In reply to: RSS Aggregator For 1.5 With Database ImportAs a former Radio UserLand blogger, I really miss the ability to read the feeds within WordPress and to post them to my blog. I currently use NewzCrawler, but it doesn’t support posting to multiple categories. I tried Sauce Reader, but it doesn’t support multiple categories either. I also have the WordPress bookmarklet handy for blogging from Web sites I visit. And now having just added tags/keywords functionality courtesy of Jerome Lavigne’s Keywords Plugin, I’ve complicated my blogging life because none of these external tools currently include keyword support.

In reply to: Strange Google-Hilite ProblemI’m on version 1.5 (http://www.davidmattison.ca/wordpress) and thanks to your tip updated the Google-Hilite to revision 204. I found the hiliter does not work at all in Firefox, and it also does not work if I search with the WordPress search engine in IE 6.x. If I search with Google, however, the search terms are highlighted. So, no highlighting with WordPress search engine in IE 6.x, but search terms are highlighted (except the title of the post entry) with Google in IE 6.x. If you have the Google Toolbar installed in IE, you can also toggle highlighting on and that feature will highlight the search term in the post title and replace whatever color you’ve used with the plugin hiliter with the Google Toolbar default yellow highlighting.

In reply to: Blank pages after upgrading to 1.5Nick Momrik promptly came through with a quick and easy fix to my problem so Firefox no longer displays blank pages. Lesson learned: check plugins first if site goes wonky.

In reply to: Can’t load index.php from site root after upgradeNick Momrik came through with a prompt and easy fix that’s now solved my problem with Firefox displaying blank pages. Thanks Nick!

In reply to: Can’t load index.php from site root after upgradeI discovered that my problem with Firefox throwing up blank pages was caused by two plugins written by Nick Momrik: moderate pingbacks and moderate trackbacks. Didn’t matter which was active, either or both would cause Firefox to display a blank page. I left him a note on his site.

In reply to: Blank pages after upgrading to 1.5I discovered what the problem as with my site. It was two plugins by developer Nick Momrik, his moderate pingbacks and moderate trackbacks plugins. Either them cause Mozilla Firefox to throw up blank pages. Not knowing where to start to resolve this problem, I reinstalled WordPress into a new directory and starting copying changed files over, testing each upload in Firefox. Then I logged in and activated the plugins. Only after his two plugins were turned on did Firefox start throwing out blank pages. It didn’t matter which of the plugins was turned on, one or the other, or both, same problem, blank pages in Firefox. I’ve sent him a note so he’s aware of the issue. They look to be like extremely useful plugins for combatting trackback spam.
