The plugin specifies that the image should be 48×48. However, making this image 47×47 solved the issue:)

Still hoping to get advice on this one. How can I dynamically list grandchildren of the current category?

I was hoping to find get_category_grandchildren or a grandchild_of parameter, but it looks like those don’t exist.

Can I skip a level with the depth= parameter?

Can anyone offer some assistance?

I don’t know about plugins specifically, but I have been using MachForms by Appnitro with great success within my WP installs. It uses it own database, unlimited form creation, supplies three different methods for embedding the forms. It’s very cool, and their support has been awesome. Look for my username on their forums…

Can you see your Dashboard?

If yes, go to plugins and deactivate sociable

If no, log into FTP and delete sociable from wp-content/plugins/ folder

@submarine:

I can now see the icon images in the admin interface. I think my issue was not having the local and url paths set correctly.

Thanks for your time and attention, this is an awesome plugin and will allow me to do some very cool things with the site!

Is anyone trying anything similar? I am really desperate to get this working.

Hi Sub, and others…

I just learned of this plugin today and am having a bit of trouble. I have downloaded the latest version in the repository, and then upgraded the category_icons-panel.js file with the one downloaded from here.

I created a directory for category icons and inserted the path to this directory in the category icons settings. I then assigned an image to one category (ID of 62) and was expecting to see the image right there in the settings like in the screenshot here. But I don’t see an image here, just the file name and dimensions.

I then put in the simplest template tag of <?php get_cat_icon(); ?> into my category template page, category-62.php. I cannot get the icon to show up.

Some things that may be relevant to my issue. WPMU 2.8.1 This plugin is activated on a single blog within a WPMU site. The category page template where I’m inserting this code is in a child theme of Thematic. Theoretically, these things shouldn’t make a difference, but maybe I’m missing something?

Can anyone here give me any suggestions on what to try next?

Looking forward to it:)

The problem has been identified and corrected by my host…

…was inadvertently setting off our mod_security filtering with the INTO statement that is sometimes used in SQL injection attacks. The rule has since been modified and will hopefully no longer interfere with your website.

I did try the .htaccess trick in the wp-admin directory explained in the Sticky link above, but either the override didn’t work, or I didn’t give it enough time.

If you want a great host that has been nothing short of amazingly helpful with all sorts of things, check ’em out… SynHosting

I hope this helps someone else track down any similar issues!

A short update…I can verify that this same behavior happens on all WP sites on one host. WP sites on other hosts are still able to upload images as expected.

I have contacted my host to see if anything may have changed that would cause this and am awaiting a reply.

If anyone has any suggestions on what else I can check, I would be grateful:)

ClaytonJames, you are a gentleman and a scholar. Thank you so much:)

I would also be interested in learning if this exists, and if so, how to obtain it.

Here’s some great information about creating drop down category menus:

I noticed you’ve accomplished this, and it looks great! Would you care to share the completed code here?

I also wonder if you could use the get_the_image template tag instead of a custom field?

Thanks if you can help:)

I removed all my plugins and was able to login. I am putting them back one by one and reactivating to find the culprit.
