In reply to: [Advanced post slider] Post duplicating in template 3Issue was width of #advpsslideshow_3. I extended the width of that in my style sheet and duplicate went away.

In reply to: [Category Shortcode] [Plugin Category Shortcode] customizing the excerpt?The plugin calls the wordpress function ‘get_the_excerpt()’ which doesn’t take any arguments. I’m sure there’s some way to cut down the except by a custom length but it’d add fairly substantially to the length and complexity of the plugin.
While I like to think my plugin helps in a few niche cases, to really control category output you’ll want to use a custom template. It gives a lot more control. ~RD
With how the plugin is currently coded, it’s not easily possible. The whole print out is a giant foreach loop ‘foreach($rdcsc_posts as $post)’. You could add a while loop to that to count up to the $rd_loop_postnum variable but thats a pretty bad hack.
Really, if you want to have pageination you’re better off using a category template and a standard post loop. http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Category_Templates

In reply to: [Plugin : Are PayPal] Parse Error when trying to activate itHaving worked past similar errors in other plugins – you’re most likely using php4 and the plugin needs 5. If you add some code to the .htaccess file to specify php5 it’ll probably solve the problem.

In reply to: [Plugin Category Shortcode] Wrong links (edit, permalink, etc) on parent pageI’ll run a few tests this weekend and roll that into a patch. Thank you very much for the assistance with this!

In reply to: [Plugin Category Shortcode] Wrong links (edit, permalink, etc) on parent pageThere may be something to the reset query function to look into…

Also as an idea, it should be possible to run the loop after the plugin runs and reacquire the original page’s data. I’m not sure that’s a good way of doing it from a coding standard viewpoint…I’d need to delve a little more into wordpress’ coding guidelines I guess.

In reply to: [Plugin Category Shortcode] Wrong links (edit, permalink, etc) on parent pageThis weekend I’ll see if I can delve into the issue a little deeper, but I saw something similar to this once before where the post loop was basically overwriting all of the information for the page by the time it displayed it. I never found a really satisfactory solution from a plugin standpoint, but I was able to code around it by making a page template that explicitly pulled in the link for the displayed page. That may work for you as a solution – at least a temporary one.
And if you or anyone else finds something – I’d be more than happy to merge the patch into my code and drop some acknowledgments into the description.

In reply to: [Plugin Category Shortcode] Wrong links (edit, permalink, etc) on parent pageUnless I’m missing something, the permalink and trackback link at the bottom of your page are directed correctly. Permalink goes to http://g33kg0dd3ss.com/shop/ and the trackback goes http://g33kg0dd3ss.com/shop/trackback/?

In reply to: [Plugin: Category Shortcode] Getting a d05Y dispaly when “full” is selectedI’m looking at that page, but I don’t see any errors.
Without seeing it, there’s not much I can do to debug, but if it crops up again, use a tool like firebug to see what CSS class the d05Y shows up in. It might be a weird display thing of the post date or something similar.

In reply to: [Plugin Category Shortcode] not displaying correct postsI’ll be honest, I’ve been stymied in trying to duplicate any of the issues.
My own website: http://robertdrake.net/, shows the copy I’ve got in it’s working state. The news page is using the code [Category number=’5′ method=’full’ order=’desc’ id=’1′ orderby=’date’].
What I most curious about is the edit post links. They aren’t supposed to show up at all. If you’re logged in the page might have an edit page link, but when the posts are finally displayed by the shortcode I don’t display any of the edit post code whatsoever.
I don’t suppose you attempted to use the shortcode within a post instead of page? That would cause some issues…

In reply to: [Plugin Category Shortcode] not displaying correct postsI’m late in seeing this, but I’m looking into fixing any bugs. I’ll see if I can tweak the WP-Query to work better. Thank you for exploring the issue.

In reply to: [Category Shortcode plugin] full Post Display ProblemI apologize for the delay in responding. I travel frequently…tend to do my coding on the plane.
Do you have an example page that I could see? What theme are you using?
In my own test, I was able to get both codes to work without any trouble.

In reply to: Images not Saving to Image WidgetI’m having the same issue as devilsavocado. The widget does pull down the correct link: it skips the filename entirely. Any solution in the works?;
This is wordpress 2.9.1. Same issue in every browser. No other plugins installed and I’ve gone through the usual uninstall reinstall trick.

In reply to: Putting sidebars on all pages?Garrycon is correct. Backup your sidebar.php file and then replace everything within the file with Garry’s code. The code that comes with the theme is unnecessary and overly complex. Just download new widgets to drop into sidebar to replace whatever else you had going on there.
