Ah ha…
I am posting the answer since I figured it out myself…!!! =)

It seems what I missed was putting the mysql_query inside the function:::

== THIS DOESN’T WORK ======================

$text = array_shift(mysql_fetch_row(mysql_query("SELECT text FROM wp_text WHERE text_id = '123'")));
function add_after_content($content) {
return str_replace("XX5XR7ER4", "".$text."", $content);
}
add_filter('the_content', add_after_content);

== THIS WORKS ======================

function add_after_content($content) {
$text = array_shift(mysql_fetch_row(mysql_query("SELECT text FROM wp_text WHERE text_id = '123'")));
return str_replace("XX5XR7ER4", "".$text."", $content);
}
add_filter('the_content', add_after_content);

So now you know the rest of the story…. Paul Harvey (9/4/1918 – 2/28/2009)

When I click on “Link Categories” the page loads and it says that I have 9 links in the “BlogRoll” Category…. when I look in my PHP MyAdmin at the database there are only TWO LINKS… I have deleted all the links and added two… so there is something not “hooked” up right to the correct database… why would it say I have 9 links listed when there are only two to choose from in the MySQL Database…??

I am going through my PHP.ini file and changing every entry to try and find out why these two pages of my WP installation do not work. I have downloaded the new version twice and replaced the versions on my server… nothing seems to help get my Links and Comments Managers to work… They just stop half way through loading the page…

Well that sucks… every time I open my Admin there is a plugin that “NEEDS” to be updated… I spend a lot of time “UPDATING PLUGINS” BUT if you DON’T UPDATE them… they still work.. and everything is as secure as it was before. These plugin updates are super annoying… and I seriously doubt that they really NEED to be updated. It is “WP Plugin Update SPAM” is what it is…

I can see when a new version of WP comes out.. everyone has to make sure their plugin is compatible… but there is no reason that a plugin should need to be updated several times in one month when there has not been a new version of WP released.

At the very least WP should put a meter on each Plugin Page that says how many average updates per month each plugin usually “requires” so that people know that the plugin they are about to use will need constant attention.

Thanks….
Now I’m off to delete some plugins that are more trouble than they are worth…

It is a fresh install of the database so I can’t see where the problem would be… when I first install it the links manager is unavailable. No other editing problems at all… I can’t see it being a server issue because there is nothing in the links manager that isn’t in the file to submit/edit the posts…

I have downloaded a fresh version and it is the same thing… no links manager..

Tried that… didn’t work… The links page is still a blank page.. I see everything accept the form to change the links…

It is pretty frustrating since this has been going on for the last 3-4 WP updates… before that it all worked fine. I thought it would be fixed in the next update so I didn’t worry about it.. but it has been going on waaaay too long now…

Also you could have an “IGNORE THIS WARNING” button that we could click if we don’t care to update or we don not want to see that particular warning message again… it’s annoying not to be able to get rid of it.

THANKS!!!!!
