While I do see your point about a commercial product, and understand your direction for the plugin, I would have liked to at least see the features of the plugin that existed in the free version not be removed and maybe support be end of life-d instead. This would have given us users who do not wish to move to a commercial version right now the time to consider it. I’m sure it is worth the cost since I know your previous free version was working great for me. But with my site not being revenue generating at this time I am trying to keep any costs to a minimum.

For now I have reverted to an older version, once spammers become prevalent with that version I will then look at moving towards Simple Comments

@faldrian
This is great that you found this. I also use Spam Free WordPress and didn’t even realize it had the same setting to override the default.

Anyone have any thoughts on why I can’t disable this setting? I can disable comments and it stays unchecked, but pingbacks and trackbacks just remains checked even if I uncheck it and save settings

So, I’ve just tried to go directly into the database and change the wp_options table setting of default_ping_status to closed and it says it changed but then I query the table again and its back to open, any help is greatly appreciated

Do you know if there is a PHP or Apache setting I should look at for file size? I do have root access to my server and can make settings changes to see if they make a difference

Any thoughts?

Thanks I was able to make the change to the facebook funciton to be

<?php if ( get_post_type() != 'ai1ec_event') { ?>
	<meta property="og:description" content="<?php echo get_the_excerpt() ?>" />
	<?php } ?>

This resolved my issue

Here is an event on my website so you can see how it displays

I have made the template change that was recommended in the past

function arras_document_description() {
	if ( class_exists('All_in_One_SEO_Pack') || class_exists('Platinum_SEO_Pack') ) return false;

	if ( is_single() || is_page() ) {
		if ( have_posts() ) {
			while( have_posts() ) {
				the_post();
				echo '<meta name="description" content="' . get_the_excerpt() . '" />';
			}
		}
	} else {
		echo '<meta name="description" content="' . get_bloginfo('description') . '" />';
	}
}

This is from the latest arras default template

I just updated to the latest arras 1.5.2 RC2 and WordPress 3.3 and even with this modification I still get the issue happening. It was working fine before, any thoughts

Thanks that fixed it

That was it. I have a vps server, so I control PHP luckily ??
Used easyapache and recompiled apache with the latest PHP and noticed my options didn’t have mb_strimwidth checked. So checked it did the recompile and everything is working now.

Just checked with the wordpress twenty-ten and twenty-eleven default themes and see the same results
