Hi Mike, as this is a major problem for lots of people, would you (or your client) mind, if you released the fixed version?

I strongly second this request.

At the moment every author of a plug-in needs to do this himselves. I do not know enough about the architecture of the backend, so if this would not be possible to implement via a plug-in (as I guess), it would be good to have a template or generator for plugin-authors, showing how to write / generating the necessary functions for the plugin.

That way we could get rid of plugin authors unnecessarily using duplicates of js-libraries, too. Too many do not know about the libs shipped with WP and the conflicts adding duplicates can result in, if not enqueued properly.

Just what I am looking for. I guess it would be relatively easy to add some checkboxes to the admin panel, that’d let you choose one or more taxonomies, where the code should be included. Unfortunately I am not that well a coder.

There’s Askapache Crazy Cache, but I dunno if it still works. Hasn’t been updated for a long time.

it’s late, but better than never, maybe someone else stumbles over this problem.

$mp3 is the name/variable i assigned to the field
YOUR-PATH-TO usually is ‘wp-content/plugins/foobar/sub-folder/’ (depending on the plugin-fork you use)
YOUR-PATH-TO-UPLOADS same as above

<div style='width:280px;padding-top:3px;display:block;'>
<object classid='clsid:D27CDB6E-AE6D-11cf-96B8-444553540000' codebase='https://download.macromedia.com/pub/shockwave/cabs/flash/swflash.cab#version=7,0,19,0' width='95%' height='20' wmode='transparent' ><param name='movie' value='<?php echo bloginfo('wpurl'); ?>/YOUR-PATH-TO/singlemp3player.swf?file=<?php echo bloginfo('wpurl'); ?>/YOUR-PATH-TO-UPLOADS/<?php echo $mp3 ?>' wmode='transparent' /><param name='quality' value='high' wmode='transparent' /><embed src='<?php echo bloginfo('wpurl'); ?>/YOUR-PATH-TO/singlemp3player.swf?file=<?php echo bloginfo('wpurl'); ?>/YOUR-PATH-TO-UPLOADS/<?php echo $mp3 ?>' width='100%' height='20' quality='high' pluginspage='https://www.macromedia.com/go/getflashplayer' type='application/x-shockwave-flash' wmode='transparent' ></embed></object></span>

It looks like Magic Fields is going to be a fast and functional fork of flutter, soon.

Funny, just saw i’m having the same problem, but only concerning stickies. Changing sticky posts status just doesn’t get saved from the edit interface – it works by using QuickEdit, though.
Any hints?

many thanks, just came in very handy

@all: Exactly the same problem i was fiddling with to no good. Please let us know, whatever the one or other ‘admin’ considers to be interesting or nonsensical.

@moshu: Please moshu, reconsider your tendency to censor others thoughts.

thanks and praise to jabecker, i finally found a solution that let’s me make my peace with wp again. i really hope the write interface will be fixed or at least made configurable again. same for the widgets – is there really smth easier than drag ‘n’ drop? zeldman? oh, yeah.

imho, if you want to go for better usability, let users chosse if they are beginner or expert, let them decide, what features they want to use where. think of some configuration sets to choose from, that make sense for different workflows.

o.k. i see, never give the impression of being lazy, a small hint would suffice ;o)

Actually i used https://www.semiologic.com/software/static-front/
, but it kept widgets from being shown on the homepage, if you have set them to be displayed only on a page with that slug (using king text widgets), therefore i had to find a workaround.

Didn’t like to test the second one after this experience, though.

If you don’t mind that your url rather looks like a /directory/ instead of a page, this is what i just found:

01 install and activate PermaLink Redirect https://fucoder.com/code/permalink-redirect/

02 get the id of the page that should work as your homepage

03 open options -> permalinks

04 activate ‘userdefined’ and enter /%postname% in the field below

05 set /. as the category base

06 open your .htaccess and add the following:

DirectoryIndex index.php?page_id=X # replace X with the ID of the desired page
# Either WordPress already did it for you or enter this manually at the bottom of your .htaccess:
<IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
RewriteEngine On
RewriteBase /
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
</IfModule>


Now your visitors are redirected to domain.xx/pageslug/ when they visit domain.xx/

++++++++++

Now for your second question:

Just enter a number in the Page Order field in the edit screen of your page. For your convenience, you should leave some room to move pages around, e.g. setting the numbers in steps of 10,20,30, …
