I updated wordpress to 3.5.1 , permalink strukture /%postname%/ is working, but I still have that error mesage about .htaccess file:
…if your htaccess were file writeable we could do this automatically …

I was wondering if anyone has the same situation – permalink structure working althogh wordpress doesn’t recognize that .htaccess is writable ?!!!

Site is on Brinkster server ( windows but php is supported) I checked and .htaccess has all the read write permissions (I think – I can go to control panel and I can see files and folders permissions although I can not change them, but all permissins for .htaccess are checked, read and write…)

What problems can I expect to encounter due to that error message about .htaccess not writable?

Thanks.

I found a working code after all! ??
After hours and hours searching and browsing through similar topics I end up with this solution:

I add :

ob_start();

to the first line of the function,

and at the end of the function I add :

$output = ob_get_clean();
return $output;

And it works well! Shortcode generated output is in the middle of the text where I put it.

Complete code if someone needs to do similar thing:

<?php
/**
* MY SHORTCODE
**/
function display_images_in_list($atts) {

	ob_start(); 

	extract(shortcode_atts(array(
      'velicina' => 'thumbnail',
   ), $atts));

echo "<div class='slideshow pics'>";

	if($images = get_posts(array(
		'post_parent'    => get_the_ID(),
		'post_type'      => 'attachment',
		'numberposts'    => -1, // show all
		'post_status'    => null,
		'post_mime_type' => 'image',
        'orderby'        => 'menu_order',
        'order'           => 'ASC',
	))) {
		foreach($images as $image) {
	$attimg = wp_get_attachment_image($image->ID,$velicina);

	$attimgpageurl = get_attachment_link($image->ID);

   echo "<div class='slajd'><a href='".$attimgpageurl."'>".$attimg."</a></div>";

		}
	}
  echo "</div><div id='nav'></div>";
  $output = ob_get_clean();
  return $output;
}
?>
<?php
function register_shortcodes(){
   add_shortcode('galerija-cycle', 'display_images_in_list');
}
?>
<?php
add_action( 'init', 'register_shortcodes');
?>

I find out this:
“Replacing echo with return doesn’t work because function is immediately terminated once it hits a return.”

I thought it must be something I still didn’t learn … So I need help with syntax and coding – how to convert the echo into return.
I got three echos … On various forum topics I saw that I have to replace all the echo statements with a variable like $stringreturn, then return that variable.
I am not quite sure how – tried out something already but I guess I made some stupid mistake again…please help

It seems no one will answer this – I did not marked this topic as resolved (since it isn’t … I still don’t know what went wrong back then ..now it is ok although I didn’t do anything at all…).

FOR MODERATORS: ( if you are reading this) you can delete this topic if you think it has been to long without answer.
Thanks.

I have the same problem,
I didn’t even try plugins yet cause I think if the button doesn’t work when I add code manually it will not work within plugin also.
I just wanted to let you know that if I find a solution that works I will let you know (post it here).
I found some new advices and “how to” add the code I will try …

Also, most plugins for social bar have problems with new wordpress, 3.5.

In the meantime, did you find a solution that works? Or the reason why it won’t work …
It would be a great help if you did.
Thanks.

Related to this topic, I am confused:
– I was struggeling to get /%postname%/ structure to work and IT IS WORKING now , I put the htaccess file in the place it should be
– so permalinks are working, posts and pages opening but nevertheless I STILL got that message “if your htaccess were file writeable we could do this automatically” at bottom of screen in permalinks under General settings.

How can that be? Will I have troubles with wordpress (plugins) if I just leave it this way?
Or should I solve that before I continue with my work on that site …

UPDATE2: after I was sooooooo confused reading the codex and forums (it is so hard to find some informations for beginers…) I find something that helped me formulated and write the code.
So this is working for me now:

First loop on my page where I display posts from ‘akcije-novosti’:

<?php
      // Create empty array to store post ids in
         $excludes = array();

                         $args=array(
                         'post_type' => 'products',
			 'taxonomy'=>'product-category',
			 'term' => 'akcije-novosti',
                         'post_status' => 'publish',
			 'order' => 'DESC',
			 'posts_per_page' => 2
                        );
                        query_posts( $args ); ?>	

    <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

             <?php    // Add post to exclude array
		      $excludes[] = $post->ID; ?>

        ...DO STUFF...DISPLAY TITLE, FEATURED IMAGE, EXCERPTS ....

  <?php endwhile; ?>

So now those ids of the two newest posts from ‘akcije-novosti’ are stored in $excludes.

Now, I have the second loop where I have to display posts from ‘usluge-proizvodi’ and exclude ids I stored in $excludes :

<?php
         $args=array(
               'post_type' => 'products',
	       'taxonomy'=>'product-category',
               'term' => 'usluge-proizvodi',
	       'post__not_in' => $excludes,
               'post_status' => 'publish',
               'posts_per_page' => 8
                      );
          query_posts( $args ); ?>	

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

...DO STUFF...DISPLAY TITLE, FEATURED IMAGE, EXCERPTS ....

<?php endwhile; ?>

And it seems to work fine !!!!! ??
So as you can see I just needed to learn how to make that array with ids and use it …
Hope this code will help someone.
Please give me a feedback or post reply or send me a message if you have something to add, and you think it is important.
I will leave this topic open for a little while then will mark this as resolved.

UPDATE:
I add this line : ‘post__not_in’ => array(330,341),
to exclude posts by their ID:

<?php
         $args=array(
               'post_type' => 'products',
	       'taxonomy'=>'product-category',
               'term' => 'usluge-proizvodi',
	       'post__not_in' => array(330,341),
               'post_status' => 'publish',
               'posts_per_page' => 8
                      );
          query_posts( $args ); ?>	

<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

And it is working ok, those two posts are excluded.
( I thought post__not_in will not work with custom post type but it’s working… )

I need to create an array of posts ids so I dont have to add the id manually each time new post is written in ‘akcije-novosti’.
Need help with writing the code – there has to be a query/loop ? that goes through posts from ‘akcije-novosti’ and collect their id, right?

After we create that array we can use it to exclude those ids in that line ‘post__not_in’ => array(..list of id…), I just need a little help with code, please …

We can now mark this as resolved ??

OMG, yes, that’s the actual code … with ‘category__not_in’ both examples are working ok.
:-))))

Thank you very much – how silly of me – I didn’t even realise the diffeence…. !

Browsing through forums I am sure I saw ‘cat__not_in’ … so I thought I can write it that way …

All in all – now everybody can see both examples of excluding posts from specific category.

??

Anyone?

While waiting support to answer I have a thought: could it be , maybe, an issue with order of the “$content = str_replace” in my translation?

Do I need to put specific translation first in order?
But since the class is ok (class=”wp_wunderground_fog”) I guess translation is ok too… but why, WHY ?!!!, the wrong icon is displayed?

Makes me crazy cause I saw those icons already been displayed ok, when they should, and now this – no logic at all… any help?

Update: today (monday) the chancerain.gif displays ok, with the “chance of rain” forecast cndition.
BUT there is another issue: this time, for the wednesday the condition is “fog” but the icon used is “partlycloudy.gif”
I display forecast three days in a row, and sometimes icons are ok sometimes not – I can not see the logic of it.
Does anyone have any idea how to fix that? Anybody else having the same problem?

Thank you. I am doing exactly that – testing. Looking ok so far.
