Are you able to get to your hosted server log files?

Have you enabled DEBUG in your wp-config.php?
define(‘WP_DEBUG’, true);
define(‘WP_DEBUG_LOG’, true);
The WP_DEBUG_LOG file will get created in wp-content as ‘debug.log’.

A blank page would be indicative of an error. Hopefully it will show up in a log file you can get to.

If you can get anything from your web server logs that may prove useful as well.

Hi Josh,

It definitely looks like it will do what you need.
My only gripe with it would be that it doesn’t look like it uses the WP users table. Not a big deal, you just end up with two different lists of users.
The price is not bad either, especially considering the effort they put into it.

Enjoy,
Don

If I hear you correctly there are many ways to do access control to accomplish this.
The actual access control may need to be built, with some tables added to manage the custom ACL groups and their members.
I didn’t say it would be easy. ??

There may be a plugin available to do custom page ACLs. It may take a bit of digging to find one, else you could ask or have someone build it for you. Unless you feel like digging into WP plugins and widgets. If you don’t get any takers I may be interested.

Enjoy,
Don

Is there something wrong with using an access group?

You’d be able to define the group to use for access once, then modify the members of the group to add or remove access to the page or pages.

It’s like using a variable in place of a static. You may think today that you’ll rarely, if ever change the value but invariably it becomes something that changes more often that you ever thought possible. Using the variable allows you to change one line and affect possibly hundreds. The alternative is having to possibly make hundreds of changes. (Not that a little scripting couldn’t solve that, but why put yourself in that position?)

You’re welcome.
Glad I could help.

If this is supposed to be the top 5 commented posts, irregardless of date posted…
Try changing;
$sql = "SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_date_gmt > FROM_UNIXTIME(".$kt.") AND post_type = 'post' ORDER BY comment_count DESC LIMIT 5";

To;
$sql = "SELECT * FROM $wpdb->posts WHERE post_type = 'post' AND post_status = 'publish' ORDER BY comment_count DESC LIMIT 5";

The key is selecting published posts, rather than all.

There is probably a better way to do this than hitting the DB directly. Maybe someone else knows a built-in function to do this.

Browser cache?

Just out of curiosity, does it do this across all browsers?
I have seen a similar issue – menus and text in a textarea not visible until highlighted (not related to WP) – that happens in Firefox, but Safari works fine.
