If you just want to swap back to what was in 1.2, I’m pretty sure you just need to edit wp-admin/post.php and delete the section of code outlined at the end of this file.

I’m having a problem with the change, but for a slightly different reason. In 1.2, I could use the same post slug on different days — for example:

/2005/03/01/slug/
/2005/03/05/slug/
/2005/04/02/slug/

This was handy for repeated “theme” posts. It also meant you didn’t have to remember every slug you’ve ever used; just those on the same day.

It was fixed after this bug report, on the basis that posts’ URIs should not be allowed to clash (by default).

That means I’m now forced to do this:

/2005/03/01/slug/
/2005/03/05/slug-1/
/2005/04/02/slug-2/

I don’t like it, and I’ve been manually editing the database to put it back the way it was.

At the end of that bug report, Matt said he would look at comparing the permalinks rather than the slugs. This would solve my problem whilst avoiding the original bug that was reported.

Is there any word on progress? If Matt’s too busy, is there anyone who would volunteer to look at it for me? I’d greatly appreciate it.

I’m fairly sure you can’t delete or demote a Level 10 user, even if you are also a Level 10 user. You’ll have to log in as the user you want to demote, and have them demote themselves.

That worked a treat! Thanks for your help.

I added get_currentuserinfo() because the same thing was happening without calling it.

How do I set them to global?

You could create a new page (say, /blog/recent10.php) and then use PHP or a server-side include to pull it into your main index page.

It’s quite simple to solve this, though it does require a change to your comment-functions.php file.

Open the file and scroll down to the comments_popup_link function (at line 90. A little bit further down you’ll see this line (at 94):

if (! is_single() && ! is_page()) {

Simply change it to read:

if (! is_page()) {

and the problem should be solved.

Here’s my solution, which puts the trackback url in a text box, so that people can easily highlight and copy it.

Put this in wp-comments.php:

<p><?php _e("<strong>Ping URL:</strong>"); ?>&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp;&nbsp; <input class="field" type="text" name="pingurl" id="pingurl" value="<?php trackback_url() ?>" size="28" /></p>

I’ve been using Raena Armitage’s skin switcher for some time now; it’s great.

Is there any way to limit the backup to certain tables, perhaps based on the prefix?

I have three blogs running on three subdomains; they share a database but (obviously) have different table prefixes.

Ideally, each user will be able to back up their own tables independently of each other, but I’m not confident enough with SQL to attempt to hack the plugin.

Can anyone help? Thanks in advance…
