Hey Thanks Otto, that is simpler. It’s not rain, it’s enlightenment ??

Ah that was it, duh! I didn’t have $post in global. Thanks!

Nope. This is making me nuts. The plugin simply doesn’t recognize the loop tag no matter how I reference it.

Thanks for the reply muskokee. That’s actually a variant I tried earlier, no go.

Perhaps because the function is in a plugin and not directly in the loop it needs to be referenced differently somehow?

something like this?:

I would love a button that automatically sets the timestamp to the CURRENT time, and second the request that the checbox automatically check when you start editing the fields.

Sounds like you want this: https://www.ilfilosofo.com/blog/old-style-upload/

Comment out line 220 in “/wp-admin/edit-form-advanced.php” and line 184 in “edit-page-form.php”.

…or you could take 5 minutes to learn Markdown or Textile, which enables one to compose a post faster than clicking horrid styling buttons.

More UI bloat? No thanks.

I wish there was a way to REMOVE that upload box from the write post screen (short of hacking core files, which I prefer not to do)…I’ll never use it, and it just clutters the interface.

Also, referring to using the TinyMCE stuff as a solution is bad ui; many folks a) Don’t like it or b) Can’t use it (Markdown conflict and no Safari support). GIven that it’s optional, there needs to be alternate means to achieve the same result.

Edit:
Commenting out line 220 in “/wp-admin/edit-form-advanced.php” and line 184 in “edit-page-form.php” removes the upload box, for anyone else who wants to get rid of it.

WOW! That plug in is perfect. Thanks!

I’ve been trying to find this comments pagination plugin you speak of, no luck. Anyone?

This looks like an interesting plugin, but I notice that when you click the parent category, it actually goes to that category first.

I would like to see this behave more as a standard hierarchy tree; that is, if I click on an arrow widget next to the parent, it expands the tree, without jumping to the category. Is this possible?

It sounds like you might be better served having each of those posts as a “Page” entry, and just having fixed links to them on your site.

What I mean is, AJAXey stuff is great, but it seems more appropriate for elements that bear regular/ocassional rearrangement. To use it on the main layout of a blog, which should ideally be somewhat static, seems an awkward application for so much overhead of functionality.
