I had a similar problem. My theme wouldn’t change at all.
This MIGHT help…

In theme-switcher.php replace:

wp_redirect($redirect);

with

header("Location: ". $redirect);

I don’t see why get_links can’t still be used. It’s not deprecated in 2.1

If you look in admin->manage->categories, you’ll find that WP added some new category IDs. I just replaced the “old” cat ID with the new one and get_links works fine for me.

Thanks Kaf. I’ve never seen that class documented.

Here’s what I use. Put it in your sidebar. Modify it to suit your needs.

<?php if (isset($_COOKIE['wordpressuser_' . COOKIEHASH])) {
$l = "";
global $user_identity, $user_ID, $user_level;
get_currentuserinfo();
switch ($user_level) {
case 0:
$l = 'Subscriber';
break;
case 1:
$l = 'Contributor';
break;
case 2:
$l = 'Author';
break;
case 3:
$l = 'Author Level 2';
break;
case 7:
$l = 'Editor';
break;
case 10:
$l = 'Administrator';
} ?>
<li><?php echo ($l); ?></li>
<li><?php echo('Name: ' . $user_identity); ?></li>
<li><?php echo('Articles posted: ' . get_usernumposts($user_ID)); ?></li>
<?php } else { ?>
<li>Not logged in/Non-member</li>
<li>Please <a href="<?php get_settings('siteurl') ?>/wp-login.php?action=login" title="Login">Login</a> or <a href="<?php get_settings('siteurl') ?>/wp-register.php" title="Become a member so you can write articles">Register</a>.</li>
<?php }

I think you’re right, Handy.

What I did was go to https://mysite/wp-admin/upgrade.php

You get the prompt there.

If you’re not using “pretty” permalinks do this:

<a href="yourblog.com/?cat=catID">Category Name</a>

where catID is the number of the category you want to display.

There is an option in the Link Manager to have links open in a new window. If you scroll down the page to the advanced section, you’ll see the Target “_blank” option.

You can use this statement in a page template:

<?php virtual ('/cgi-bin/bib/buyitbomb.cgi?keywords=belt&db=17971&mode=all&boundary=word&format=ssi&results=10&start=0&s=1'); ?>

No need for a plugin.

Would having a ‘no-cache’ statement in the header cause WP not to cache?

Yes. I’m now wondering if there’s something wrong somewhere – nobody loves me anymore. Like Akismet says it must be my lucky day(s).

Thanks Sam. Fixed it.

Here’s the link. Scroll down to the 4th post on the page.

Here’s the “non-validating”, easier (maybe) way…

<a href="https://whatever" target="_blank">TEXT</a>

The target="_blank" part is what opens the new window.

hmmmm….didn’t post as I thought it would
try again

<div id="whatever"><a href="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/"><img src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/imagefilename.png" border="0" /></a></div>
