I consider this a temporary fix but try this with 3.3: Just One Category

In ver. 1.1 Change just_one_cat.php, approx line 39, reads:


$just_one = $wpdb->prepare( " AND $wpdb->term_taxonomy.term_id = %d ", $cat );


Change to:


$just_one = $wpdb->prepare( " AND $wpdb->term_relationships.term_taxonomy_id = %d ", $cat );


If you have a website with non-time sensitive material, you might want to continuously rotate copy to the front.

Here’s a plugin that will do that, daily turning the oldest post to the newest:

I had this problem, too; I think this little plugin will solve it quite simply for WP 2.0.x without editing source:

No SubCats plugin

I’ve done dozens of one-click installs of WP on DreamHost… far easier than manually… you’re working too hard at it.

(1) Be sure your website is live, that the domain has made its way around the internet. You should be able to go to the website (or directory where you want to install WP) and see an Index of listing, with no files.

(2) When you use the one click install at DreamHost, they create the mysql database, install the software, and configure the wp-config.php file. So you don’t have to change the dbname, hostname, etc., at all. They do it. Just wait 10 minutes and point your browser at your website, it’s ready for WP to create the tables, ask your email address, and give you a password to get you going.

Note, to start, point at the root directory (where you installed WP), not the wp-admin directory. Not install.php. Just go to the installation directory or domain root, i.e., krazitrain.com/ … and let WP do its thing.

(3) Sometimes at DreamHost, their control panel gets slow. Or it has trouble connecting with the mysql server to set up your table. If that happens, anxiety will be of little use. (I’ve tried that.) Just wait a couple of hours and try again. It will probably fly.

(4) FYI, localhost is probably not your hostname. In fact, with the DreamHost system, it’s probably more like krazihost.krazitrain.com depending on what you selected at the one-click install panel, and after automatic reformatting for DreamHost. The beauty is that they set it up for you, so when you do the one-click install and really let them do it, it just works! We could debate forever whether DreamHost ‘ought’ to do it that way, but they did, and it works for them, and once you get it, it’s dynamite.

(5) It’s probably a good idea, after doing the one-click install, to ftp the wp-config.php file (with your configuration data) down to your local workstation as a backup and reference, just in case.

I’ve done one-click installs that were running as quickly as two minutes later (proving I get anxious at times). Usually it takes a bit longer. Ten minutes will almost always be long enough. So, go get a cup of coffee. Decaf, if you’re anxious.

Well, the code in backticks here doesn’t work either. So, I’ll try this:

Replace the ' with & # 8 2 1 7 ; but remove the spaces.

brianbonner,

I, too, was puzzled when Adhesive (2.1 beta on WP 1.5.1.2) worked so well at my website, but failed to give us a Sticky box on a website I set up for a good friend.

Root’s approach is fine for some. But if you want the Adhesive plugin to work for you, I bet this will help…

My friend’s hosting service runs php as cgi (and I suspect yours does, too)… In the adhesive_admin_footer() function there’s a call to $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'] which is fine on my site with php but not on hers with php-cgi. On her site you have to use $_SERVER['SCRIPT_URL'], and that won’t work on my site.

So I changed it to test both and it seems to work on both.

I changed line 159 to:

if((preg_match('|post.php|i', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_URL'])||preg_match('|post.php|i', $_SERVER['SCRIPT_NAME'])) && $_REQUEST['action'] == 'edit')

I hope this helps anyone else with the problem. It’s the old php as cgi catch!
