All Good Things Must Come To An End

As you all know, I have been doing WordPress plugins and supporting it for the past 6 years. These 6 years of my life, I have been through my polytechnic education, my national service as well as my university education.

I just graduated from university in December 2009 and have been looking for full-time jobs. I am offered a full-time job and will be starting work on 1st February 2010.

I regret to say that I am NOT ABLE to provide support for my plugins anymore due to my full-time job commitment. I will leave this forum open and let the community help one another.

However, I WILL still update my plugins whenever I can and you still can report bugs to me via email and I will try to fix it.

WP-DBManager / Move to a new database, same server/domain?
« on: 07 August 2009, 12:03 »
Apologies if this is a dumb question. I'm a fairly experienced WP user but know little about SQL, beyond basic set-up etc.

I've been using DBManager for a while. I'm having problems with a database and would like to move my WP blog to another database. This is on the same server. I will be using the same URL.

If I backup my current DB, change wp-config.php to the new database and re-upload, I assume my blog will be completely empty (or will it present the 'new install' page?).

If I then restore my database, will it work out of the box? Or does the DBManager save information that is relevant only to the previous database, which will then mean it won't work on the new one?

Thanks for any help Lester. Cheers.

WP-PostRatings / Strange bug when adding 'highest rated' code outside loop!
« on: 27 March 2008, 17:11 »
Hi

WordPress Version: 2.3.3
Theme: IAMWW w2 DnD 0.85
Blog URL: http://www.actionmoviemania.com/
Problem Plugin Name And Version: WP Post Ratings 1.20

Great script - worked perfectly out of the box, except this odd little bug!

I'm setting up a website that reviews action movies, notably the classic ones from the 1980s-1990s. I wanted a feature that let users add their own ratings, and this is where your script comes in! :)

Works great, except this oddity. I've started a post that will eventually show the Top 100 user reviews on the site:

http://www.actionmoviemania.com/2008/03/27/the-user-top-100/

I've executed the PHP in this post using the well-known EXEC-PHP plugin (http://bluesome.net/post/2005/08/18/50/). It's worked, but oddly, it's also added the Top 100 page *itself* to the 'ratings' list, too, even though no [rating] command exists on that page, nor is it in any way ratable! :D

It's also added it to the Top 10 highest-rated widget that displays on the sidebar, so the bug *does* seem to be in your plugin, as opposed to anywhere else, although I may be quite wrong! :)

This is the code I've used:

Code: [Select]
<?php if (function_exists('get_highest_rated')): ?>
   <ul>
      <?php get_highest_rated('both',100); ?>
   </ul>
<?php endif; ?>
It's an odd little error but obviously not something I want displayed on my rankings page! :D

Any help appreciated.

Cheers,
Sheamus
