Forum: Plugins
In reply to: [Plugin: Google XML Sitemaps] problem while notifying Ask.comI checked the debug output of the plugin, and also the URL submission syntax on ask.com.
The plugin URL encodes more characters than the ask.com example
ie, plugin generates
http://submissions.ask.com/ping?sitemap=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.contoso.com%2Fsitemap%2Fsitemap.xml.gz
I used
http://submissions.ask.com/ping?sitemap=http%3A//www.contoso.com/sitemap/sitemap.xml.gz
I submitted this URL manually and noticed it took a while (10+ seconds) to come back with a result.
I’m thinking this particular submission may need a longer timeout for the ask.com response, not sure if URL encoding matters

In reply to: [Plugin: Google XML Sitemaps] problem while notifying Ask.comSame issue here, has given me this error since I installed the plugin 3 weeks ago. All other search engine notifications seem to work fine.
Update: it’s the sidebar plugin that seems to be causing it; I was able to call the form with a PHP function inside a text widget (using Exec-PHP) and when I display it that way, the AddtoAny does not show up. Have a support inquiry in to Gravity Forms

In reply to: How come I never get an answer about WP’s awful editor?I have the same issue. I don’t use any translator plugins. I do use the TinyMCE Advanced editor. Same thing seems to happen to me … I edit a page in wysiwyg mode and those damn spacers get added.
I really wish WP would fix the editor to make it not mess with certain things like this, line breaks, etc.
I’ve seen tweets from dozens of ppl who just went ahead and upgraded. You have to admit that when the dashboard comes up with a button that says “Please Update Now” that WordPress is prompting users – which they probably shouldn’t do until a 2.8.1 is released. Let the power users, the ones who know about backing up and restoring, get the release manually or use the automatic upgrade plugin to grab it and test first..
IMHO, there really should be a rollback feature that backups all tables and files to a zip somewhere and is able to restore an installation using them if a new version breaks a blog. Individual site operators have enough to worry about in regards to the design and maintenance of their site …

In reply to: [Plugin: Tabbed Widgets] Widget List Not Showing Some WidgetsI’m also seeing at least one plugin (Top commentators) that does not appear as a selection for a tabbed widget even though I added it to the invisible widget area. Also a bit concerned because I DO see entries for widgets that I’ve deactivated and deleted.
I’d love to use this widget, but I think it needs to be updated to allow all widgets and not display any that are deactivated\deleted. Also, if we need to add widgets into a fake sidebar, lets call that “Tabbed Widget” or something more accurate than invisible widget area?
I just tried out the new version, and it does indeed cause the header and border to be removed – thanks. You might want to consider adding one more thing which would be an option to center it, put it left, or put it right. I think as it is I will still have to go into the site template CSS and modify it
I’d also really like the option, for use with Sidebar widgets. I’m trying another plugin, MaxBannerAds, that does this automatically. In my case, I don’t want the borders or header text inherited for my theme’s widgets. It would probably be helpful to add the option of a) a white background, b) a transparent background, or c) pick a custom color background with a hex code
