I used this code pasted in the K2 sidebar manager:
<?php if (function_exists(‘wpoi_opt_in’)) : ?>
<h4>Beskyttet?</h4>
<?php wpoi_opt_in(); ?>
<?php endif; ?>

The fix could also be to place the php file at specified location in the installation instructions.

I have the plugin in my blog sidebar. I’m using K2’s sidebar manager, K2 RC3 and WP 2.3.1. Here (warning, in Norwegian, located under “Beskyttet?”):
https://neppe.no/

I also have a fix for item 1 now: follow install instructions. The php file shall not be placed inside a wp-opt-in folder.

level8:
1. I will need to investigate this later.
2. Maybe something like this:
<?php if (function_exists(‘wpoi_opt_in’)) : ?>
<div id=”wp-opt-in” class=”widget module”>
<h4>Some title</h4>
<?php wpoi_opt_in(); ?>
</div>
<?php endif; ?>

Thanks for the feedback.

level8: Try the new version 0.8 of WP Opt-in.

Examples (from the initialisation code):
Bad e-mail: <p><b>Bad e-mail address.</b></p>
Failed to send: <p><b>Failed sending to e-mail address.</b></p>
Success: <p><b>Sent requested e-mail.</b></p>

This bug caused problems for some, and has been fixed in version 0.8.

movingconcierge: Thanks for the report.

MichaelH: Thanks for trying to help.

Sorry for this. Some typo’s got in there when inserting the widget stuff. Should be OK now.

By adding more debug in xmlrpc.php, I may have identified my problem. Either the php variable allow_url_fopen must be enabled, or the curl library needs to be installed. Without any of them, incoming pingbacks will not be parsed completely.

Suggestion: disable Peter’s custom antispam and popularity contest. Then check this thread.

I probably have the same missing incoming ping problem. For debugging I enabled logging in xmlrpc.php by changing an initial value like this:
$xmlrpc_logging = 1;

Then I made a pingback to myself from TestTrack (trackback works fine both in and out). This pingback did *NOT* show up in my blog comment field. Here is the debug output from the xmlrpc.log file:

2007-11-28 13:42:46  Input: <?xml version="1.0"?>

2007-11-28 13:42:46  Output: (PB) URL='https://neppe.no/2007/04/test/' ID='106' Found='url_to_postid()'

This might also be related: PHP version 5.2.1. WordPress version 2.3.1, K2 RC 3 and Akismet. Commenter name and e-mail was not required during the test.

PS: Due to comment spam, comments and trackbacks are now closed on the post used in this example.

Maybe this is missing somewhere in “the loop” for your theme:
<!–
<?php trackback_rdf(); ?>
–>

xmlrpc_logging in xmlrpc.php can be enabled for help with debugging.
