Marking as resolved.

Oh! So that’s how it works. My bad.

My understanding was when a network admin activates or deactivates a plugin, it activates or deactivates respectively the plugins on the other subsites. Thanks for clarifying Mika.

Yes, deactivated plugins on wp-admin/network show as active on regular websites.
Here’s a screenshot. On the left, you see the network admin’s plugins page with 2 plugins deactivated. On the right, you see the regular site’s plugin page with the 2 plugins activated.

Am I SURE if they were network activated? No, I never said they were network activated. So actually, to workaround this bug, I don’t network activate plugins that I want activated on the regular sites.

That’s untested code but I think that tells you the logic in it. I hope that helps somehow.

I think I can help you:

<?php
$prevPost = get_previous_post();
$i = 0;
$num_prev_posts = 5;
while ($i < $num_prev_posts) //needs to check if $prevPost exists. while ($i < $num_prev_posts && !empty($prevPost)) doesn't work.
{
get_permalink($post->ID); //and other such functions that work on the global $post should now work.

$i++;
$prevPost = get_previous_post(); // and then there should be a check if $prevPost is empty or not
}
?>

I used a while loop because there’s a possibility that there aren’t enough previous posts and so the loop should be able to end abruptly. I just don’t know how to check if $prevPost is empty, !empty($prevPost) or $prevPost != '' won’t work. There’s not much documentation for get_previous_post() or get_next_post();
