Unless I am very much mistaken that snippet both sorts and displays alphabetically. In other words it will always find the first 10 articles beginning from “Aardvarks are ace”, even if the ten most RECENT articles all have titles starting with “S” or “T”.

I need to sort chronologically (in this example, sort the 10 most recent, all of which begin with “S” or “T”), and THEN display them alphabetically like this:

Samba for beginners¨
Sentences in French
Simple Maths
Tadpoles are fun
… and so on.

If there is a one-line solution for this I have failed to find it yet. The more complicated approach would be to retrieve them into an array, then sort the array, and then display them.

Is there an easier way, using built-in functions?

Okay, a complete reinstall did the trick. I presume, then, that somewhere in my original attempt to overwrite the old files with the new something went wrong.

I now seem to have a working 2.1.1 – although the div/p bug is still there ??

Yes, it IS still broken in 2.1.1.

Try creating a div element with some text inside it in the code view. Then save it. Then open it again. It will be a paragraph with some text inside it.

It did that for me anyway!

Just for the record, I have done three things since my last post.

1. I have deactivated ALL my plug-ins, and discovered that tis has no effect on the problem at all. So I reactivated them.

2. I have tried a legacy version of my site (using 2.1) locally using Xampp and that works fine – with my theme as well as the default.

3. Puzzlingly, I have installed a completely new installation of 2.1.1 on another server, and THAT works fine too.

So far I have upgraded manually by copying the wp-admin and wp-includes folders and the top level files over the old versions. I was then told to update my database. That should have worked, shouldn’t it?

Tomorrow I will do a database dump, back up all the uploads, wipe the disk and reinstall everything. Let’s see what happens then…

I completely agree with buskerdog – those two gifs depict what I saw, and what I see now, perfectly.

IMHO this is a ridiculous “advance”. The wysiwyg editor is fine, and I use it a lot, but when I want to see the code then I WANT TO SEE THE CODE. I do not want to see part of it, leaving me to guess what the rest will be.

Or am I missing something here?

I had this problem too, and your suggestions fixed it perfectly.

I have to say though that I am very unhappy modifying core files like this. Not because I don’t know what I am doing, but because (when it comes time to upgrade again) I probably won’t remember what I have had to do!

This means I have to document the changes and then remember to reapply them when 2.1.1 arrives.

What is odd though is that I cannot imagine the logic of this in the first place. Why would you want to change a div into p behind someone’s back?

Anyway many thanks, silence266. I was getting VERY frustrated, and now I am a happy camper ??
