In reply to: How to Insert Code into RSS feed for Ads (from ad server)Hey,
Thanks a ton – I’ve done this, and I’m assuming my ad-server code I placed in my functions.php file is OK, because i’m not getting any errors (at first, when I attempted to use the javascript of iframe code, it wouldn’t work – so I’m using a simpler “image tag” code now).But – nothing is showing up:
https://feeds.feedburner.com/fredmckinnonHere’s the functions.php code:
<?php if ( function_exists('register_sidebars') ) register_sidebars(2);
?>
<?php
function insertAds($content) {
$content = $content.'<hr /><img src=”https://d1.openx.org/avw.php?zoneid=81644&n=ac3c8466″><hr />’;
return $content;
}
add_filter(‘the_excerpt_rss’, ‘insertAds’);
add_filter(‘the_content_rss’, ‘insertAds’);

In reply to: “REPLY” button for threaded commentsHey, unless that revolution theme was 2.7 ready, the comments.php probably isn’t written to support threaded comments – try dragging the comments.php from the default theme for 2.7+ and the reply button will be there when a comment is left, assuming you have threaded comments enabled in your discussion settings

In reply to: About 40% of comments silently ignored during importHey,
I don’t know if this matters or not, but in WordPress Import Tools, for “RSS” – it doesn’t mention importing of comments, only posts. Most of the other import options say “imports posts, comments”, etc. .. but the RSS import only says “imports posts from RSS”.If that’s true, it won’t be importing comments.

In reply to: Intense Debate problem (comment count per post not shown on Home page)Hey, your issue is probably similar to mine – your comments are not syncing from IntenseDebate to your wordpress database on your server as it should … it’s an issue affecting many people. If you re-activate IntenseDebate, do your comments re-appear?
Forum: Everything else WordPress
In reply to: Intense Debate vs. DisqusMy problem w/ IntenseDebate is that the sync isn’t working as promised, and they can’t resolve it. Supposedly, if you de-activate their plugin, all your comments should still appear in wordpress, but 99% of mine are not there. They are @ intensedebate, but don’t sync over. Support has quit replying to my issue for the most part. I either have to stay hostage with them, or break the relationship and lose 99% of my previous comments. Tough call – I love the way IntenseDebate looks, the functionality, and it HAS DEFINITELY increased comments and conversation, but I’m paranoid to say w/ them when the sync features isn’t working. It works for some, just not on my server for some reason. Can’t explain why – our web host admin doesn’t get it, nor does ID. See their forums in GetSatisfaction for many other people having the same issue.

In reply to: CNN.COM RSS feed not working with WP RSS widgetAnyone had any luck using iTunes affiliate RSS feeds:
Try this one – all I get is errors – if there is anyone out there who can get this to work, please post:
You can copy/paste that long URL and it works fine, you can click the link in a browser, and it loads in Google Reader or other RSS aggregreators.
I’ve installed KB Advanced RSS, Magpie RSS plugin, etc … regardless of what I do, I’m getting this error.
I kinda doubt it’s my webhost, because if I add my feedproxy.google.com feedburner RSS feed address into either KBB or RSS widget, it parses just fine.
Forum: Fixing WordPress
In reply to: “An error has occurred; the feed is probably down. Try again later.”I’m also having this issue – specifically w/ the linkshare affiliate RSS for APple iTunes ..
I’ve installed the Magpie Plugin, and KB Advanced RSS – regardless of which RSS widget I choose, (and yes, I’ve got the Magpie RSS installed), I’m getting this error.
However, when I put my feedproxy.google.com/ feed address in, it seems to parse fine .. so it seems like this issue is associated w/ something in the itunes affiliate RSS link.

In reply to: Moving Blog but maintaining incoming links and authorityThanks,
I think I found (thanks to chrismoncus.com) a plugin that will actually take care of this as well:
https://scott.yang.id.au/code/permalink-redirect/When/if I decide to take the nasty/risky plunge of moving my blog from the subdirectory to the root, I’ll update and let everyone know how it goes, surely other people are wondering the same thing about their incoming blog URL links changing.

In reply to: Moving Blog but maintaining incoming links and authorityhquadrat,
Thanks … you are correct, except I’m specifically wondering about 301 directs from the old posts to the SAME post in the new location. Most of which I’ve figured out shows me I can easily redirect ANY traffic from /myblog/ to the root directory after the change, but what I’m after is a solution where each post in the old location redirects to “that posts” new location:
ie.
https://www.fredmckinnon.com/myblog/sample-post-123/
would automatically be redirected to:
https://www.fredmckinnon.com/sample-post-123Make sense?
Fredaaah – logged into phpmyadmin and did: REPAIR TABLE wp_comments;
Worked like a charm – phew!

In reply to: Word Press Email Notification PluginHey Brian –
I’ve got the latest install on WP, and when I do a mailing, the emails says “MAILER DAEMON” in the “from” field, even though I’ve put my email address as the “reply-to” and the “admin” email address in the settings … any help?Forum: Plugins
In reply to: New Version of the iTunes Podcast PluginGarrick –
Hey – I have recently opted to redirect all my feed traffic to https://feeds.feedburner.com/highestpraise because of their tracking/stats, etc.I’m using the od_feedburner.php plugin, and it works great by changing ALL the feed links in WordPress to redirect to my feedburner URL.
HOWEVER, the old, original /?feed=rss2 file will NOT redirect. You can type it in manually, and it still loads … we’ve modified and tweaked the .htaccess file until we’re nuts … and I began to wonder if your plugin was perhaps overriding something, or mixing it up – so when I de-activated the iPodCatter plugin, sure enough .. the /?feed=rss2 was no longer valid – it would not parse (but still didn’t redirect”
Any clue about the compatability between these two plugins. And also – if I were to continue using feedburner, with their Smartcast option turned “on” – do I still need to use the ipodcatter plugin?
I’ve got a great listing and ranking in the ITunes Podcast directory, and do NOT wanna risk losing it!
Thanks,
FRED
