ColdForged

Yeah, real nice work on getting a workaround at all. There may be something possible that is “confined” to the plugin instead of having to change the template more but I haven’t thought of it yet :(.

And, frankly, I’m still on 1.5 so I can’t diddle with it much :).

After looking at the 2.3 codebase, the problem is that they’ve changed where the ‘the_title’ filter is applied. It used to be applied from within the ‘the_title()’ function and it was applied such that the before and after text was included in the text being filtered so the filter — and hence my plugin — was given the before and after text to work with. Now the filter is applied in the ‘get_the_title()’ function before the before and after text are applied so the filter — and again, by extension, my plugin — doesn’t get the before text anymore.

So, frankly, I’m busted. I’m glad people are finding workarounds but the global variable method isn’t clean enough for me to include in a plugin update. If I think of something else, I’ll issue an update but WP has sort of tied my hands on this one.

Sounds like you didn’t install things in the right place. If you remove the wp-content/plugins/spell-plugin.php file, you will have your site back.

I’m almost positive it’s the same plugin referenced by samboll.

I’ve been “escalated to Level 2”.

Have you found anything ColdForged?

Not really. They asked for a minimal example, so I gave them one (https://www.coldforged.org/cachetest/cachetest.php) that simply performs readfile() on one of the files from my cache, bracketed with PEAR::Benchmark calls. Still takes at least half a second. We’ll see what they say.

That went well. Let me rephrase, I guess.

Using a cache, how many pages per second should I expect from a web host? Should a readfile() call on a shared web host take less than half a second?

Things look to be installed in the wrong place. Please see this comment.

P.S. I’m back ;).

There’s also an AJAX-based spell checker if your server supports the built-in PHP pspell library.

Glad to hear it’s working for you now.

And good to see you back.

Well, I’m not “back” per-se, but I guess my statement that I won’t be supporting the plugins ever might have been pessimistic ;).

8-} Latest (possibly final unless someone else does something neato with it) version is 0.3.

Notice you can also get it at the plugin repository. Latest (final) version is 0.3.

Do you have a link? When you show source you see nada? If you temporarily disable the plugin does the site come back fine? — though with -title- prepended to the entry titles, of course.

Thanks to everyone for the kind words and thanks, sithicus, for the generous offer. Believe me when I say it’s much appreciated and I’ll keep it in mind. Right now I think a hiatus will be good, though I do find myself missing a place to fling thoughts up :).
