In reply to: [Plugin: All in One SEO Pack] Enabling after updatesI have to agree with the nagging and the constant activating… AND NOW the header errors with upgrading from within WordPress.
While I respect one poster’s comments about doing it all manually, the function for upgrading plugins is a core part of WordPress now and I think plugin developers need to respect that and make their plugins work with it.
Warning: Cannot modify header information – headers already sent by (output started at /home/content/[path info deleted]/html/wp-content/plugins/all-in-one-seo-pack/all_in_one_seo_pack.php:4764) in /home/content/[path info deleted]/html/wp-includes/pluggable.php on line 865
Trying to back out of that simply generated the same error. I finally just removed the directory on the server…
SEO is a critical area of site development… and plenty of money IS made off the rep these guys get from their plugin… I’ve donated many a time to plugin developers but typically NOT when the item seems to want to ANNOY me more than make my workflow easier.
So I guess I agree that this one has lost some luster, given the headaches I’m working with as I try to deal with it during the upgrade to 2.8.4 in WordPress.
Wouldn’t a plugin that uses
%blog_title%in its Settings be getting that from the CURRENT information in the General Settings where you set the title of your site?Shouldn’t an SEO plugin look for the CURRENT value of that information?
How would you go about triggering that plugin to REWRITE whatever it adds to wp_postmeta? I’ve tried deactivating and that didn’t work. I DID manually update what the plugin wrote in wp_postmeta in the database, but am just trying to finalize all the information on this plugin.
TIA
I noticed, too, when using the auto upgrade button for this plugin’s settings page, I get this error:
Warning: TGFI_SEO::require_once(pclzip.lib.php) [tgfi-seo.require-once]: failed to open stream: No such file or directory in /home/syncbox1/public_html/wp-content/plugins/tgfinet-seo/tgfi-seo.php on line 1293But there is no file by that name in the plugin files you download, nor on my local or remote version of the plugin. Not sure what this refers to and in any case I am already using the latest version.
Just FYI. I’m going to remove the plugin, update the database directly and find another SEO plugin to use, but thanks still for any insight anyone can provide regarding any changes to the WP database over versions.
(146, 3, 'title', 'S Y N C B O X web design & development'),This is what I am seeing in an exported sql file from my database…
So I have an answer to my question… this plugin (when activated) pulled the CURRENT title — which WAS written using
&+amp+; (man, you cannot write some things in these posts, huh?) versus just an ampersand— and later changed to “design | develop | deploy” in the wp_options table via the General Settings and stored it in the wp_postmeta table and then DID NOT update it LATER when it was changed…But I just noticed that this plugin is compatible up to 2.7, so maybe that is the issue. My version is 1.3 and that is the latest one offered.
Can anyone tell me if something in the database changed since 2.7 and 2.8 regarding where the title information is stored in the db? In other words, is this plugin looking in some deprecated leftover field which isn’t displayed in the admin anymore?
YOUR HELP appreciated!

In reply to: Clean 2.8.4 Hacked :(Did you use the same name and password as before? Did you create a new .htaccess file?
What’s the URL so we all can at least see what shows up on this site?
Hope we can help.

In reply to: is_tree() functionjust to add one more thing… the beauty of this for me is not having to know the ID or name or page-slug of any FUTURE sub pages of a parent page.
When I build the array of parent pages, I don’t have to know about the children.
Forum: Requests and Feedback
In reply to: is_tree() functionI use it to load custom sidebars or special style rules for sub-pages of a parent… or you can use it like the Snippet#3 example, to load a custom header image for different pages without having to write arrays or complex if/elseif/else logic. the possibilities are numerous and as one who has used WordPress as a CMS for years, this function really eased my workload.
You can use it in an array of pages… so, rather than use if_page(‘x’) || is_page(‘x’) etc etc for all sub-pages of a parent page, you can simply declare the parent and apply your logic to its IMMEDIATE child pages without applying it to THEIR children.
That’s the main thing, for me. If you use something based on child_of=, then it applies to all of them
Call me crazy, but this has become a favorite for me.

In reply to: Add thumbnail image to Category descriptionhmmm… when I do that (use a functions.php file and add the above code, I get a header already sent error in the admin when trying to update the category description in version 2.8.4
just fyi

In reply to: include() in IE browsers?Actually, I just solved it. It’s a CSS issue where the nested list (using a class named “subs”) was being WRITTEN in the source, but not displaying in IE6… I put display:block into the CSS for that class and now it is displaying.
But thanks, anyway.

In reply to: Conditional php include not working in ie6OK, nevermind, I figured my issue out — it WAS a CSS problem. I had to specifically declare display:block for my nested list.
Forum: Themes and Templates
In reply to: Conditional php include not working in ie6I would like this answer, too. Here’s the thing I am noticing, though… it IS including it — it’s just not displaying it!
If you look at the source markup, the include file’s content is there (for me, anyway)… but you cannot see any evidence of it in the display. In my case, I am including a specific sidebar file — that generates a sub-menu — but the nested list isn’t displaying and as far as I can tell in my CSS, there’s no valid reason why not.

In reply to: List Pages Include Tree?Add the is_tree(); function to your functions.php (or to the functions.php in the wp-functions folder):
REad here for links and info:
http://codex.ww.wp.xz.cn/Conditional_Tags (scroll down to snippet4)
here’s the function:
function is_tree($pid) { // $pid = The ID of the page we're looking for pages underneath global $post; // load details about this page if(is_page()&&($post->post_parent==$pid||is_page($pid))) return true; // we're at the page or at a sub page else return false; // we're elsewhere };If that helps you, mark your post resolved…

In reply to: New Profile – EW…I just prefer the original, with the easy way to see if anyone has responded… I’m not a fan of multiple pages of stuff.
BTW, it says you replied if you edited your own post, too.Forum: Plugins
In reply to: Excluding sidebars from some posts/categoriesThe easiest way to do this is to simply make a custom category template file for Maps that doesn’t call the sidebar and that uses style rules IN the container (as inline declaration, which takes precedence over any external rules assuming same naming and therefore the same specificity)
But, conditionally, you could put a couple of php statements changing the style properties in the main container:
<?php if (is_catetgory('Maps')) { echo 'style="width:100%;"}'; } else {//do nothing, therefore the external style rule applies } ?>and use the same logic in the sidebar but set display:none.
The first method is easier, but the second allows you to minimize the number of files necessary to maintain.
