Permissions issues could be the problem. If the folders are not writable, you can’t update them.

You can manually update the plugins, but you still need to CHMOD your wp-content and plugins folders properly.

How are you searching? Are you using a grep-like program to search within large groups of text files for certain words?

I would download the database, download your entire directory via ftp and then use Windows grep (I’m assuming you are on windows) or another application to do this. It’s much much faster.

I have the same problem. I have a custom sidebar that shows the latest posts (recipes) with their thumbnail. Only the search results appear in the sidebar instead of the latest recipes.

Nevermind, I figured it out.

To exclude categories, you need add 'exclude' => '3' under ' 'order' => 'ASC', where 3 is the category id.

Thanks!

So, to elaborate, I don’t want to show the Category title for the excluded categories. The excluded category titles continue to appear even if I properly exclude the cat_id in the array by using category__not_in' => array('3','5'),

For example, if I excluded category 3 and 5 (as shown above), all the titles appear, but only the posts from category 1, 2, 4 appear under all of those titles. It’s like the function is broken when excluding categories at this level.

I’m having the same issue with https://mmaopinion.com

Super-cache won’t work and regular caching is just URL’s ending in /feed/…I have a decent number of visitors, so people are viewing the site.

I’m confused too.

Anyone? Any ideas?

Anyone? I can remove the text, but not the title…

Hopefully he’s not one the guys who steals content from my sites…those useless .info sites.

All you have to do is to re-order the list to force the current page to appear first or use the show_option_none code.

I’m having the exact same issue. I’ve tried adding this line of code which will appear at the top of the list. I’m using a dual dropdown though.

$select = wp_dropdown_pages('sort_column=menu_order&show_option_none=Select a Topic');

In the above example, “Select a Topic” appears at the top of the list and is shown.

I’ve tried replacing with “Select a Topic” with a bunch of other variables to display the current page title.

'.$page.'

Or something like that should work, but I haven’t figured it out out.

That’s a nice dropdown you have there.

I’m doing something similar with dual dropdowns with both parent and child pages. I actually want the first page to stay at the selected parent page so that readers can see that they are select child pages in the second dropdown of that parent page displayed in the first dropdown.

I’m gonna experiment with your code. ??

Here’s my simple code that resets to the first item.

`

• <form action=”<?php bloginfo(‘url’); ?>” method=”get”>
  <?php wp_dropdown_pages(‘show_option_none=Select a Topic&depth=1&sort_order=ASC&exclude=2,3,4’); ?>
  <input type=”submit” class=”button” value=”Go!” />
  </form>

I’m going to install this later today or tomorrow. I’m going to dig into the code, so when I find how to change the_content to the_excerpt (if it’s there), I’ll share.

This also works with WP 2.2 widget.php

function wp_widget_recent_entries($args) {
	if ( $output = wp_cache_get('widget_recent_entries') )
		return print($output);

	ob_start();
	extract($args);
	$options = get_option('widget_recent_entries');
	$title = empty($options['title']) ? __('Recent Posts') : $options['title'];
	if ( !$number = (int) $options['number'] )
		$number = 10;
	else if ( $number < 1 )
		$number = 1;
	else if ( $number > 15 )
		$number = 15;

	$r = new WP_Query("showposts=$number&what_to_show=posts&nopaging=0&cat=-7");

Simply add the &cat=-7 at the end of the last line show in the example above to keep Category 7 posts from showing up in the Recent Posts widget.

This will happen if you remove just the php file like you did and leave the includes folder active or vice versa. I was playing around with king login last night and it did the same thing for me. I was able to just use the back button and re-upload the file to verify that everything was fine. I don’t think King login works very well with 2.1
