Same issue here. Not everyone uses the fat, unoptimized AMP stacks that come with most Linux distributions these days, so it may be helpful to document the plugin’s php module requirements. Missing the curl module caused the CC plugin to report that it was running on < version 3 of WordPress. Clearly, this was not helpful.

Apologies IF these dependancies have been documented… I searched for quite a while and could not find that they had.

There is a nice plugin that does exactly what you are wanting. I’ve been using it since it first came out and I love it!

Are the two servers UNIX machines? If so, I really like the rsync command for doing this. It’s a pretty common package on most UNIX systems these days.

To do this, create a script called something like syncit.sh
#######snip######
#!/bin/sh
# syncit.sh script on server.foo.com

/usr/bin/rsync –recursive –perms –update –links –delete –owner –group –times –progress /path/to/source/directory/* server.bar.com:/path/to/destination directory/`
######/snip#####

The machine we are on is called server.foo.com, while the machine we want to send the files to is called server.bar.com

It uses ssh to make the connection, so you have to have ssh connectivity between them. Also, it will ask you for your password, so there are a few more steps if you want to have this happen all by itself. If this seems like the road you want to go down, I can help you with the other steps.

Scratch that… The above link should fix it.

Thanks again for all the great input! Typo fixed… Thanks for the catch.

The related topics piece is generated by a plugin written by a friend and coworker of mine. I don’t know if he has put it in the plugin database, but it’s called bsuite. It uses tags to find similar stories. Of course, it’s not always 100%, but it does a pretty good job. It also adds a nifty stats tracking admin page and a bunch of useful functions to wordpress.

The general purpose of my site is a tough one because it is really about whatever I’m up to and feel others might find usefull… I have been reading SEO papers lately about how important it is for a site to have a clear “topic”, so it is something I will be working on defining for myself. I completely agree that the casual surfer would be confused about the purpose of the site. It’s a great point and I will start working on that right away. Thanks!

My mind has been set at ease about the date block. I like it a lot, but I had been thinking that it might not be the best use of screen real estate. I’ve decided to keep it though. Thanks for the affirmation.

Thanks for the input. What do you guys think about the date block near the story title? Some have said it is too large. I like it, but it does conflict in some cases and I do understand how it might feel distracting.

I’m having troubles with trackbacks after upgrading from 2.1.2 to 2.1.3.

Site: https://spiralbound.net

Accept pings is enabled on all posts.

I can send pingbacks to my own stories from my own stories. (place a link to story2 in the test of story1 and get a pingback on story2 after a save.)

I can not sent trackbacks from my own stories to my own stories. (enter the URL to story2 in the “Send trackbacks to” field on story1). It shows up as sent, but no trackback shows up on story2.

Nobody can send me trackbacks or pingbacks from external sites. (link in text or using the “Send trackbacks to” field).

I am running a new theme, but I switched back to my old theme, and the exact same behavior is seen. I don’t see any 404’s, or errors in either error_log or access_log.

php -v
PHP 4.3.9 (cgi) (built: Sep 21 2006 07:08:09)

I am wondering if someone can chronicle what happens when a trackback or pingback is sent so that I can trace and confirm at each step.

Thanks for any help you can offer.

Cliff

Fixed it for me too! Thanks a million!

I’m having the same problem… I’m getting this on the “Sidebar Widgets” page if it helps.

Error: Element.childrenWithClassName is not a function
