For anyone coming across this thread, you can just comment it out, but line 139 in /wp-includes/default-filters.php also needs to be commented out too or there will be an error:

// add_action('wp_head', 'wlwmanifest_link');

The xmlrpc.php line that patung mentioned I know is a “remote procedure call” protocol used by desktop blogging clients (such as MarsEdit and Ecto). If you only use your web browser to administer WordPress you probably are safe to comment that out too.

I tried activating the latest from the developer’s website (as of 11/01/08). That caused a “fatal error” and it wouldn’t load. The 2.4 beta did activate, but the maps won’t display in posts. In the Geopress Setup pages, the widgets (pan, zoom and map type controls) do appear, but no map at all. And the widgets are sitting overtop the name and address field. If I click the zoom or drag and pan I notice it’s loading from Google, but none of it appears. Not sure what’s wrong but it’s kind of a mess.

I know the Google Maps API is working for my domain because I created an HTML test file that works fine.

Next step is to disable all other plugins and reinstall a fresh copy. If that makes it work I’ll report back.

Yes I did read it. I was hoping someone who understood this would tell me it was incomplete.

Correct me if I am doing something wrong here. I am using WP’s wp_link_pages function to break up long articles into multiple pages. ie. Page 1 of 6, page 2 of 6 etc.

<?php wp_link_pages('before=<p>&after=</p>&next_or_number=number&pagelink=page %'); ?>

This way if a long article is broken into, say, six pages ideally the viewer knows at a glance they are on page four:

[1] [2] [3] 4 [5] [6]

But unlike my diagram (or the Codex here), WordPress doesn’t seen to indicate the current page. It’s an identically styled link to itself.

Some of you seem to be mistaking superficial style for design. That and usability are both subsets of design.

Also, for those of you who claim “design doesn’t matter,” what makes one product that serves an identical purpose better than another? Why did the more expensive iPod kill the Rio? Just because you don’t understand something doesn’t mean it is invalid.

Besides the fact that his website is garish and butt ugly, my chief objection to the “usability mafia” is all of Nielsen’s decisions are based on generalized poll results. But you can’t apply the same rules to different audiences, for example, teens and senior citizens. But people preaching Neilsen ignore that he only caters to the lowest common denominator. The result is 1997: huge type, blue underlined links and a fluid layout that scales to 640×480. Bleh.
