Thanks, mad_max. Just what I was looking for.

Same problems as mussburger but noticed it’s only with themes other than default WordPress 2010 or 2011. Works fine on those themes. Only shows 5 FAQs with my theme, with or without a category assigned to them. Using version 0.5.2, WP 3.2.1, tried deactivating all plugins no change. My site is under dev here: https://96.30.8.92/~goseemym/faqs/ and using a theme called “TheCorporation 2.9 by Elegant Themes”.

My apologies for not getting back. It works just fine. I used it as a widget but typed something else in the Type field by mistake so that’s why it wouldn’t work.

Thanks. It has promise but I ended up using custom fields instead. I’m sure it will come in handy with something else though. Again, nice work.

Appreciate the quick response. i think I’ll just do what you said at the end. Thanks

One note: I would be a great added feature if one could designate where the divup-wrap begins. That would have made the whole thing work for me because I did not want to contain the first paragraph but this doesn’t allow a choice.

Thanks a bunch for this fix. I assume it should be a bug fixed in the next update or two. I also noticed after doing a WP upgrade from 3.2 to 3.2.1 it appeared again on the sidebar. I deleted it this time instead of dragging it out and it stayed away. I then made the mistake of adding it again to the sidebar and couldn’t get rid of it again – until your fix.

Hmmm… wish I could but it’s been three months and now i can’t remember what the issue was. Sorry.

Didn’t find that in the documentation but may have missed it somewhere. May be a good idea to note it there in the next update? Thanks again.

I agree, cornhustlah. Can’t go to their forum. The help forum is 99% open questions that are not getting answered. It’s a shame. The plugin could be nice if they took the time to clean out the bugs and get organized with support. After all, they charge a premium – I too paid, and have yet to ever receive a help reply. Can’t get PayPal Pro to work right either.

sergibosch, could you let me know if you get an answer on this? I posted to that forum too but getting replies just doesn’t seem to happen. Thanks

One more thing… 200M memory setting is WAY TOO HIGH! Don’t use that setting – chances are your hosting won’t let you anyway. I did bring it back to 64M and all is well.

I’ve just spent about a week trying to fix memory problems on a site with over 14 plugins running in a VPS Linux host. Finally I resolved it. Tried everything above, php.ini limit at 200M, made WP files set at 64M, etc. nothing worked.

Host made two changes:
1. added a php.ini file in server root (above www):

[PHP]
memory_limit = 200M

This helped in general with plugins that activated ok but too many being used at once caused fatal memory errors, but I was getting closer! Next, trying to active two large plugins like wp e-commerce and simple:press forum would give this error:
Fatal error: Out of memory (allocated 20447232) (tried to allocate 1077921 bytes) in /home/whatsyou/public_html/wp-includes/http.php on line 1331
2. Here’s what host support did next to fix everything. They commented out two lines in the httpd config file. Here’e what they sent me:

Please try it again now, I went ahead and commented out a couple lines in httpd that are known to cause problems with wordpress under suPHP.

#RLimitMEM 294876501
#RLimitCPU 240

Hopefully this helps if you’ve tried everything else. Keep in mind, the host said the memory limits on the server (in the php.ini file) showed more than enough memory so they said it’s the core site files – it’s not. Luck for me, I finally got a support person who’d been down this road already with WordPress and knew just what to do.

The plugin works great actually, just not commented well in the installation screen. After activating, you will find “FAQ” in the admin panel under “PLUGINS” menu. I’m running v2.8.3. and all is well.

To make the list a little more stylable with your theme, replace the code in faq.php with this (which also includes removing the escape character “\” slash too as mentioned above):

function DisplayFAQ() {
    global $wpdb;
    $table_name = $wpdb->prefix . "faq";

    $select = "SELECT * FROM " . $table_name ." ORDER BY answer_date DESC";
    $all_faq = $wpdb->get_results($select);

    $buf = '<ol class="FAQ">';
    foreach ($all_faq as $q) {
	$buf .= '<li>' . stripslashes($q->question) . '<br /><span class="answer">';
	$buf .= stripslashes($q->answer).'</span></li>';
    }
    $buf .= '</ol>';

    return $buf;
}

I added a class for the ordered list item item called “FAQ” to define just that list and also added a span to include a class called “answer” to format just the answer.

Hope this helps.
Nice plugin. Thank you.
