Doh. Fixed this by adding the following into wp-config.php

define('DB_CHARSET', 'utf8');			// force utf8
define('DB_COLLATE', 'utf8_general_ci');	// force collation

I also used phpMyAdmin to makes sure the collation matched.

OK, fixed it. It was having problems determining my path using the funtion:

PixGallery_DeterminePaths()

Since I host my site on blog.stephencarr.org the actual directory structure is:

/root
/web
/public
/blog

So when it was determining the root of my web space it just returned

/root/web/public

This is because my subdomain is running out of a folder on my main domain’s docroot.

I fixed this by hardcoding the correct docroot and commenting out line 54: PixGallery_DeterminePaths(); so that the determinepath function does not get called. I am pretty sure the path to your WP installation is a global WP variable anyway, you should be able to use that. Don’t ask me how, I just hack things about.

I can’t seem to get this to produce any thumbnails. I have looked at the HTML and it is looking for the thumbs in the correct place but it is not generating any thumbs. I am sure this is a path problem, permissions on the folders are 777 and as I said it is writing the HTML to the folder correctly but just not outputting the images to that folder. Any ideas?

This is bugging me too. I want to be able to specify the true thumb size, not just HTML resize the thumbnail/main image. I am dabbling with PixGallery which claims to resize thumbs on the fly but it does not seem to be working.

Sorry, I am not being quite clear here. I don’t want to list the actual category names, I want to list the posts, sorted by date (with month headers) in a certain category, excluding the posts in another.

I know you can use

<?php if (in_category(n)) { ?> or <?php if (!(in_category(n))) { ?>

For loop operations but that method does not seem to help when building an archive style page:

March (20)
February (10)

The number is the number of posts in that month, but I don’t want to count certain posts such as my remainder link posts.

<<Bump>> for a 1.5 plugin version that can exclude specific categories.

Yes, I remember that method now. Dang, I ended up doing it like this:

<?php echo get_page_link(54) ?>

Thanks anyway.

Multiple Loops would do it:

Thanks, how confusing, I suppose it is logical seeing as pings are part of the commenting system, I just never thought to close that as well. Thanks for your help guys.

<Bump> again. I am running WP 1.5.1 and still can’t get the “Comments closed” to work. Someone must be able to help here, I can’t beleive I am the only one with this problem.

Like the plugin but you have misspelt “analyzer”

<<BUMP>>

I still cannot get it to display “comments closed”. Any ideas? Anyone?

Any idea how to fix this with a plugin for 1.5? I don’t really want to go and make permanent changes to the links.php file as it might mess things up somewhere else.

Don’t know if this has already been pointed out but this plugin does not play nicely with Markdown or Textile.

I have found the problem, kind of. My site is set up to only display one story per page – if I set it to display more than one story the <!–more–> thing starts working again.
