What happens if you deactivate all plugins and then update the permalink structure? Then try without ANY plugin activated. If this works, it is an issue with your plugins used. Try activating one by one and see where the error is.

Happened to me – I have to reactivate the plugins in a certain order.

Did you update your .htaccess?

Also, look here:

I had problems using the WP-Print and WP-Useronline Plugin by Lester Chan. I had to deactivate all plugins, update permalinks, activate those two plugins, update permalink structure again and then activate all aother plugins.

Don’t know what this faulty behaviour of either WordPress or the plugins is all about.

I had the 404 permalink problem only with pages, posts worked fine. Tried the “category and tag” trick, didn’t work. Then I deactivated all plugins, updated the permalinks and reactivated all of the plugins – and then, all of a sudden, it worked… ???

Well, since no one seems to know the answer, I have now blocked those requests with ModRewrite and hope I do not block important ones.

Problem is resolved: either use $user_pass or $_POST[‘pwd’].

Anyone, please?

No one, really?

In the German WordPress Forum, I was advised to use url_to_postid(), a WordPress Function from wp-rewrite.php. Think that is exactly what I need, although I doubt it will already work on init() as wp_query is not yet initialized there… damn…

OK, ‘template_redirect’ does not give me the same information as ‘init’, e.g. when hooking into ‘init’, I can even see requests for non-posts, like /wp-admin/ and stuff, which I find more interesting.

But, as I said, there is no way yet to get the post ID, as $wp_query is not yet initialized.

Does anyone know a way how to get the post ID by the URI???

My idea is to combine an antispam funtionality in terms of IP blocking (which should hook in as soon as possible) with a statistics module (for which I would need the post ID).

Does anyone have a hint, maybe?
Thanks!

I am such an idiot!
It wasn’t the hook template_redirect…
it was init!
And as wp() hasn’t been called yet at init:
no wonder it didn’t work!

Changing to template_redirect made it work!
Yippieh! ??

I tried

global $wp_query;

if (is_single()) {
	$post_ID = 4321;
} else {
	$post_ID = 1234;
}

to test it.

I only got ‘1234’s, even though I am sure I viewed a single post.
Seems like is_single() does not work.

I have now put

global $wp_query, $post, $posts;

at the very beginning of the function, but doubt that it’s gonna work.

Any idea? Anyone?

BTW:
How can I set a variable to NULL so that MySQL actually shows NULL and not ‘0’? $variable = NULL did not work…

Didn’t work, either.

Also tried “get_the_excerpt” as filter… no luck. :’-(

It’s funny:
I use [Update from ….] in posts when I want to show I updated it… that – although in brackets like “[]” – is always shown.

Only “[video][/video]” seems to be stripped.
Funny…

Maybe, I’ll have to check the plugin how it is really working.

Tried priority “1” already, doesn’t work – thanks, anyway. ??

As I said:
I do not understand why the tags aren’t even showing up. I thought only real HTML tags in brackets like “<>” would get stripped…

Still no answer from the plugin author. :’-(

I am still using WP 2.3.3, so no shortcode system yet.

Already contacted the plugin author, but no answer yet.

:’-(

OK, I’ll try to rephrase my question:
Why do the [video]…[/video] tags not appear when using the_excerpt()?

Any help on this would be appreciated.
