thanks for your help, that solved it.

The problem is that I can code my theme so that author usernames are NOT published to the world. But, using this plugin, they are published without me knowing about it. This plugin exposes everything, for better or worse.

The JSON API exposes more data (author usernames come to mind).

You may be hiding the author usenames on your site, but if you have JSON API plugin enabled, this info is exposed.

Maybe you could use Infinite Scroll?

https://www.infinite-scroll.com/

Thanks hermanvandermaas. That helps, but if you use that URL anywhere in public, it’s no longer obscure or difficult to guess!

Maybe part of the problem is that I am actually doing this outside of WordPress. My PHP script has this to include WordPress:

require('/home/dir/public_html/wp-load.php');

Everything else works fine, except for the sorting. Weird.

Thanks. This isn’t working for me either. Maybe part of the problem is that I am actually doing this outside of WordPress. My PHP script has this to include WordPress:

require('/home/dir/public_html/wp-load.php');

Everything else works fine, except for the sorting. Weird.

For what it’s worth, I am running into the same exact problem.

thanks!

Thanks. I will try network-activating it, however, I really only want to use it on one or two subsites, not the whole network.

Yes, the direct access URL is not displayed, and it’s not easily guessed. But, I’d rather not rely on security through obscurity like this, if it can be avoided.

My problem seems to be a little weirder. It’s working fine on my development site (which is running multisite).

But, on my prod site (also running multisite), I need to be a network SuperAdmin to update the settings. Even a site Administrator does not work.

I’m not sure what’s going on here. My prod site used to run WPMU back in the day (pre WP 3.0).

Thanks. yes, I know that duplicate content is bad. The old posts will eventually go away, leaving just the custom posts.

Thank you.

Thanks Ron. I’ve been reading up on the differences between transients, wp_cache, and options. It seems like any one of them would do, to some degree.

You recommended options. Why not wp_cache? thanks again.
