Monkeypup, I found out what the problem was, at least on my setup… See, I had been planning on taking out the “www” from my domain, but I forgot to do it before I installed WP… So it wasn’t until after I installed it that I started removing the “www” (I’m making the transition slowly, so it works both ways now).. Anyway, I went through the options in the database and changed occurrences of the “www,” but it looks like I forgot to go through the other pages of options. So here’s what I did to make it work…

Went to phpMyAdmin… Opened the wp_options table.. There’s an option called “home” (on my setup, it’s on the second page, option_id 40) .. So it appears that was the culprit.. The “www” was in there, so I removed it, and now it works.

Please let me know if you try this and it works for you, too…

Would you happen to have WPG2 (WordPress/Gallery2 integration plugin) installed in your setup? I do, actually… I don’t know whether or not that’s the problem. For some reason I seem to remember the problem before Gallery2 was integrated. If I manually modify the URL in the browser to the integrated Gallery2 login, and login… It seems to apply that cookie to WordPress… Not sure what’s going on, though…

try opening your sidebar template… find where it has the function list_cats(…)

remove or comment out that function, and replace it with:
wp_list_cats(“children=TRUE&hide_empty=0&optioncount=1&sort_column=name&exclude=12”)

One would think that more people would be having this problem… It would seem to me that it could be considered a rather serious issue.

Sorry about the crossposting, I thought it might fit into more than one category, and I wanted to make sure it was seen.. Thank you for replying!

anyone?

navigate to the photos you want, click on them… in box to the left, click the checkbox for any images that you want to appear in the preview…..

also, if your server is running linux, i believe that it has to be in PHP module mode (not sure if that would cause your particular problem, though). also, make sure that the permissions are properly set on your image directories (CHMOD 777) …… check your config file and double check the directories …… any more details?

To the sidebar?? Do you mean that when writing or editing a post, you would have the option of adding a link to the post on the sidebar? So, you would want to “feature” certain posts? If there are posts that you would like to have stand out in the sidebar, you can add a section in your links. Perhaps you might even consider editing your sidebar template and adding them. I see that you have installed the Sticky Post plugin for your main column, perhaps Adhesive from https://www.asymptomatic.net/_wp-hacks. Maybe you could add some sidebar code that detects if there are any sticky posts currently on the page, and if so, add them to a sidebar section called “Sticky.”

From reviewing the source, it looks like Adhesive adds a metakey to a post called “sticky” which can be 1 or 0. The DB table that holds metakeys can be access using $wpdb->postmeta …

IMPORTANT …. i’ve fixed a problem with Exhibit that was causing it not to show up at all in the write/edit post area …. the problem was that PHP was in CGI mode rather than apache module mode …. i found that suggestion in a little post on here somewhere, but i feel like it’s important to know …. luckily, i have the best hosting provider on the planet. i logged in and changed it to apache module mode with a few clicks. the provider recommends CGI mode for greater security, but they list some drawbacks of it in their knowledge base:

• Custom 404 pages won’t work for .php files with PHP-CGI. Or will they? See n74’s comment below!
• Variables in the URL won’t work without using mod_rewrite (example.com/blah.php/username/info/variable).
• Custom php directives in .htaccess files (php_include_dir /home/user;/home/user/example_dir) won’t work.
• The $_SERVER[‘SCRIPT_NAME’] variable will return the php.cgi binary rather than the name of your script

From other posts in here, it appears that Exhibit is compatible with 1.5… I tried disabling all other plugins, still no dice…. I have manually added the Exhibit table in the mySQL database, including the “picorder” column, still no dice…. Adding the table did, however, get rid of the mySQL error in the comments page, so at least now I can keep Exhibit enabled without worrying about errors. I have tried going to Manage Posts and editing a post, the Exhibit section is not there. I’ve tried starting a new post, clicking “save and continue editing,” and it’s still not there. I have tried downloading “asy_exhibit.zip,” and that didn’t work so I put the “exhibit11d.zip” files back up. I’d really like for this to work, as it seems like a really neat and fitting plugin… Any suggestions??

i have Exhibit 1.1d, and WordPress 1.5-gamma 2005-02-08. Exhibit is not working …. Does it not work with 1.5 yet? Here are other plugins that I have installed and activated: Adhesive 2.1 beta, Countdown 1.0 alpha 5, EzStatic 1.9, Hello Dolly 1.0, Spam Karma 1.18 alpha 3, WP-CC 0.1.1, and WP Plugin Manager 1.6.4.b. I have followed the installation instructions, and Exhibit is activated in the plugin list; However, there is no Exhibit section in the edit post, write post, edit draft, or anywhere. I did notice that when I browse to a comments page for a post in my WordPress, I get a mySQL error:

WordPress database error: [Table 'example_com.wp_exhibit' doesn't exist]
SELECT ID FROM wp_exhibit WHERE post_ID = 11 and preview = 1 ORDER BY picorder;

Warning: array_chunk() expects parameter 1 to be array, null given in /home/.dir/myusername/example.com/wp-content/plugins/exhibitimg/exhibit10p.php on line 475

I have changed the name of my domain, but that’s the error. So the table does not exist, but there is no Exhibit section in the modify post area that lets me create it. Perhaps I could create it manually knowing the structure, but it’s supposed to be in the admin area so something must be amiss. So, I disable the plugin to get rid of the error… Any idea how to fix this, or is it a matter of WP1.5 incompatibility??
