Thanks, it seems the original author has dropped this project. Your work is very much appreciated.

Thanks a lot for updating this essential plugin!!! I was starting to be afraid that I’d have to rebuild my whole site until I read your message at gudlyff’s.

And many thanks also for your improvements, specially for the default visibility for new categories.

Category Visibility seemed to be creating a lot of mysql queries, so I modified it a bit to cache results and it made a difference. In my somewhat high-overhead theme it reduced the query count by about 18, which I consider significant.

So, if you want a Category Visibility that runs faster, download 1.0.0b.

Rich

Thanks for carrying on with this plugin. It’s of definite value.

Any chance you’ll add support for turning on/off visibility of pages for wordpressers using list_pages or wp_list_pages in their sidebar. It would be great not to have to muck around in code in order to display/exclude particular pages.

Thanks!

found another bug.

When you have multiple loops set up on your front page, your plugin does not just kill the category from showing up in main loop, it kills them from showing up in any loop on the front page.

one plugin i found that avoided this was: RumCategory,
however, it is not nearly as robust as this one, therefore i would hope that you could arrange it to only kill the main loop in index.php

Well, we could debate whether or not that’s a bug, but that would serve no clear purpose.

It’s our intention that when you uncheck something off the front page, that it is, in fact, off the front page.

The ‘list’ is supposed to refer to the sidebar.

We run two loops on many of our fromt pages, the first is the main loop, the second is an “additional headlines” loop. We expect excluded categories to be excluded there, too.

I can understand that there might be cases where you’d want something else. You’d probably need to modify your index.php to set some kind of a a flag and modify the Category Visibility plugin to not react when the flag is set.

Now it just recognizes that it’s the home page (through a process of elimination) and works accordingly.

About the archives business, that has created a number of perplexing situations. We’ve somehow fixed most of them, but a few persist. I’ll probably go look at that sometime; can’t promise when.

Note that there’s a little internal function in there now called cv_visible_cats(). It takes one parameter, a string that says front, list, seach, feed, or archives, defaulting to front. This returns an array of categories visible to the respective area.

It might be possible to use that for special purposes; we do that.

// cats visible to front page
$acats = cv_visible_cats('front');
$catlist = '';
foreach ($acats as $category) {
$catlist .= ' ' . $category->cat_ID;
}

When the plugin is activated, and i turn off certain categories from the archives it still displays the months where the certain categories are but then when the months are clicked on it says the page you are looking for is not there. Is there a way to make the month not be displayed if the category is turned off?

Thank you so much!

Excellent plugin!
However - for those of us looking for extra discretion, it would be even more excellent if there was a way to turn off visibility in the calendar as well. I have a test category “invisible” and deselected all of the visibility options for it, but the post I just wrote in that category still causes that day (today, 6/15) on the calendar to become a link, and a mouseover shows the title of the post. Just a thought for any future revision - suggestions for a hack welcome. :-)

D’oh! I just installed it, and as I was doing so I thought to myslef “hmmm, I wonder if this is going to work with Sideblog 2.0 (By Kates Gasis)” and sure enough, it doesn’t. Had both activated and it snafu’d on yours, deactivated Sideblog and the main page works but now no ‘updates’ sideblog in the sidebar. Any thoughts?

I don’t use sideblog, but I get the following error using Ver. 1.0.0c on WP 2.0.3:

WordPress database error: [Not unique table/alias: 'wp_post2cat']
SELECT DISTINCT * FROM wp_posts LEFT JOIN wp_post2cat ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_post2cat.post_id) LEFT JOIN wp_catt_visibility ON (wp_post2cat.category_id = wp_catt_visibility.catt_ID) LEFT JOIN wp_post2cat ON (wp_posts.ID = wp_post2cat.post_id) WHERE 1=1 AND post_date_gmt <= '2006-06-17 09:52:59' AND (post_status = "publish" OR post_author = 1 AND post_status != 'draft' AND post_status != 'static') AND post_status != "attachment" AND ((wp_catt_visibility.front=1 AND wp_catt_visibility.cv_user_level<=10) OR post_status='static' OR wp_catt_visibility.catt_ID IS NULL) AND (category_id = 2) AND (post_end_date >= '2006-06-17 23:59:59' OR post_end_date IS NULL) GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 6

Any ideas what is going on? All I need to do is NOT allow a couple of my categories in the main blog RSS feeds.

Hi, thanks for the great plugin. However, it doesn’t seem to work when multiple categories are assigned to a post (e.g. one removed from index page, while another is not).

Is there any way so that a post can be removed from the front page as long as one of its categories has been set as invisible?

Thanks in advance.

Brilliant!!!! I’ve been trying to solve this problem for days, was pointed to your plugin and voila. Done in 5 seconds. Peace, Love and Plug-ins!

I am using K2 and widgets plugin for the sidebar and I also have your plugin activated.

When I click a catergory at the sidebar, I get the following error:

[Unknown table ‘wp_post2cat’ in on clause]
SELECT DISTINCT * FROM wp_posts LEFT JOIN wp_catt_visibility ON (wp_post2cat.category_id = wp_catt_visibility.catt_ID) WHERE 1=1 AND post_date_gmt <= ‘2006-06-26 00:57:59′ AND (post_status = “publish” OR post_author = 2 AND post_status != ‘draft’ AND post_status != ’static’) AND post_status != “attachment” AND ((wp_catt_visibility.archives=1 AND wp_catt_visibility.cv_user_level<=10) OR post_status=’static’ OR wp_catt_visibility.catt_ID IS NULL) GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 5

When I turn off your plugin.. everything goes back to normal. Any advise?

Thanks

Works like a charm! I needed a solution like this… a five second google search, a ten second read of some WP Forum posts, a quick download, a quick install… it took less than five minutes to have a problem, find a solution, install it, and have the problem solved.

Days like this, I really love the internet — and folks like you, who create plugins and offer them for free to the community. Great job.

there are some issues with David Coppits Category Order (http://www.coppit.org/code/) This will keep on working, whilie his hide all the cats if this is installed.

This plugin is great :) But I’m wondering if it’s possible to still show a hidden category in a seperate section of the page ie. I have two loops running, one for a devoted category, dont want to kill it all together.

Just as info:
I also had the conflicet with two LEFT JOIN.
Did a disable of the plugin ‘Front Page Categories’ (ok plugin, but manual edit in php file).

Very fine plugin you made here.
Regards

Excellent! Worked like a charm. :)

Hi,

I’ve got the same problem. The category is hided, but in the rss feed the post appears-

is there any fix for that problem?

Franco and Florian, when I uncheck “Feed” the stories disappear from the RSS feed. If you’re not getting that behavior, it must be due to some other plugin or modification on your system.

Hadi, sorry, we have no solution here for plugins that don’t use the standard hooks.

Oh, just one problem.

If some smart alec did something like http://myblog.com/category/private , apparently all the private entries will appear. Any idea?

Cheers!

Upekshapriya, you might try editing the source code. As it is, the admin panel gets everything.

CatVis has never been a “security” feature, actually, more of a “display appropriate material” kind of thing.

That said, in version c, around line 205, are a couple of lines that you might try commenting out.

Rich, sorry I didn’t see you post before I wrote the next one.

Tried what you suggested in commenting out lines 205 and 206 to no effect. Also commented out 189 which had the same reference. This didn’t work either (ie all these lines were commented out). Maybe it’s a lot more complicated to do it?

Hi Rich,

Thanks for the plugin. Works very well until I use it with Category Order v1.9.4 by david Coppit. Not only do I need to hide a category from the side bar, but I need to put them in a specific order.

Andy ideas?

Best regards!

Hi there, thanks for the plugin. Very useful, however it behaves strangely when I try to display an unordered indented list of my categories, subcategories and sub-subcategories. The first category displays in bold as intended, however every other category acts as if it is a subcategory of the first one ….
Tried both versions of the plugin and they both do the same thing ..
Hope you can help,
cheers.

wonderful. Definitely try to get this to be a default included feature for wordpress !!

pretty slick, but wanted to know if I can setup a way in which certain categories show up on certain pages only. For eg. If I have a category called News, can I get it to appear only on the ‘News’ Page? I checked the wordpress forums, but the code wasn’t quite helpful [ noob to php ], so some1 asked me to check out your plugin. Would really appriciate help in any extent possible.

Hi Rich -

I see that typing in the permalink of a post as the URL causes the post to be displayed even if the category it belongs to is not visible to the user. Is this the expected behaviour? I am using wp2.0.3 and I checked both the b and c versions of your plugin.

Not sure how this happens since the loop in single.php (to display the single post) is similar to the loop in the main index template (if (have_posts()): while (have_posts()): the_post(); … ). Does this mean the filters you are adding to posts_join and posts_where are somehow not being called for the single post?

Any clarification would be very helpful. Thanks!

Hi Rich, im having a problem with calendar (or archive) links. They give me a “404 not found”, but they work if i deactivate the plugin. Im using the 1.0.0c with permlinks. And i have the right configuration in your plugin (actually, i have the the visibility on for all options).
What could be happening?

PD. Sorry for my english :(

…And it works!!! I feel so lame!!! Thank you very much specially for your fast response!!!

I noticed that this plugin has a conflict with the Sideblog Wordpress Plugin tht can be found here,

http://katesgasis.com/2005/10/24/sideblog/

Just wondering if that could be solved somehow.

GD,

Well, yes, that can be a problem, because WP’s get_posts() function pays no attention to this. I just posted a new version, 1.0.0d, which adds a replacement function, cv_get_posts().

This may also be the problem others have had with other non-compliant plugins.

Then you can use a function like this for Recent Posts:


function ryo_recent_posts($no_posts = 5,
$before = '<li>', $after = '</li>',
$skip_posts = 0, $cat = 0) {
if (function_exists('cv_get_posts')) {
$posts = cv_get_posts('numberposts='.$no_posts.
'&offset='.$skip_posts.'&category='.$cat);
} else {
$posts = get_posts('numberposts='.$no_posts.
'&offset='.$skip_posts.'&category='.$cat);
}
$output = '';
if ($posts) {
foreach ($posts as $post) {
$post_title = strip_tags(stripslashes($post->post_title));
$permalink = get_permalink($post->ID);
$output .= $before . '<a href="' . $permalink .
'" rel="bookmark" title="Link: ' . $post_title .
'">' . $post_title . '</a>' . $after . "\n";
}
}
echo $output;
}


i have a problem, when i post an entry in two categories (example
“sports”: normal category, not affected by the plugin.
“other category”: set up for not showing the entry in the main/front page.

the entry still appears in the main/front page.
¿it’s any way to fix this?

hi,
thanks for your plugin!

there is a way to show how many posts are “visible” in front page after using this plugin?

(sorry for my terrible english!)
thais

thanks!!

Would do add this myself, but, unfortunately I haven´t the slightest knowledge in php right now (might change sometime ;-) )

Regards again,
Sven

I don’t have that problem in 2.0.4.

Multiple categories ARE a problem, however.

The first challenge is deciding what you want it to do.

- Show ‘em if ANY category is visible.

- Don’t show ‘em if ANY category is blocked.

Frankly, there are contradictory, yet logical and valid, answers.

Then comes the challenge with getting the code to work.

See comment by ZMang and my response on June 17.

Thanks for the great plug-in. Just what I needed.

Great Plugin, just what I’ve been looking for.

I’m using it to filter the monthly archives down to showing the contents of just one category: however, there’s some functionality I’m not sure how to implement here.

Imagine I’m filtering to just show category A, and my site has two categories, A and B.

If I post in december to category A and category B, and in january post only to catogory B, my monthly archive list shows as:

DECEMBER
JANUARY

even though, with category B filtered out, it should show

DECEMBER

only, as January’s posts are all in the filtered category B. However, the standard wordpress call of wp_get_archives() doesn’t care. Does anyone have any idea of a workaround for this?

I downloaded the lastest version. I this error with 1.0.0b also.

WordPress database error: [Not unique table/alias: ‘dc_post2cat’]
SELECT DISTINCT * FROM dc_posts LEFT JOIN dc_post2cat ON (dc_posts.ID = dc_post2cat.post_id) LEFT JOIN dc_catt_visibility ON (dc_post2cat.category_id = dc_catt_visibility.catt_ID) LEFT JOIN dc_post2cat ON ( dc_posts.ID = dc_post2cat.post_id) WHERE 1=1 AND post_date_gmt <= ‘2006-11-07 04:22:59′ AND (post_status = “publish” OR post_author = 1 AND post_status != ‘draft’ AND post_status != ’static’) AND post_status != “attachment” AND ((dc_catt_visibility.front=1 AND dc_catt_visibility.cv_user_level<=10) OR post_status=’static’ OR dc_catt_visibility.catt_ID IS NULL) GROUP BY dc_posts.ID ORDER BY post_date DESC LIMIT 0, 10

I am not sure whats happening. any help would be get. Thanks

Hey there,

I downloaded the plug-in, but I seem to be having issues. As soon as I activate the plug-in, all my categories disappear from the sidebar. This is the code on the sidebar to call the categories:

Categories

As soon as the plugin is activated.. BAM.. that gets removed even though all the boxes are checked and user level = 0

This is a very usefull plugin. Thanks for sharing it. I would have one wish, though: Could you please modify the plugin to show the names of the roles (subscriber, editor, admin, custom roles made with RoleManager) instead of numeric levels?

I guess - without studying code - that the fact that several role names can be assigned to the same numeric id might lead to the need of more extensive changes… but I am just looking for a nicer user experience, so perheaps substituting a role name list for the id would be sufficient…

[…] Rich Hamilton’s revision of Keith McDuffee’s original “Category Visability” is an excellent WP plug-in. It just doesn’t quite work the way I needed for the main Moshav HaAm site, which has relatively sophisticated needs for layers of content access, given our mandate to be as open as possible to a number of different valences of community and leadership. […]

First, thanks to Rich for a great plug-in! I can’t tell you how much easier it has made an otherwise difficult week.

Second, for those who (like myself) need different logic for the case of multiple-category posts, I have a working hack of Rich’s plug-in here. I reworked the database implementation so that a post will now be invisible if any of its associated categories are invisible for the current user. I also added the option of hiding posts from single-page view, and I made minimum user-level settings specific to each display area for a category rather than general to the entire category.

Use my version at your own risk. I’m using it in one project that is still in development. So far so good, but I’m no expert at WordPress architecture and I haven’t tested it very rigorously yet. If you do use it, please share your experiences with me. I suppose I most need to know whether it breaks; though it’s always more fun to hear about how it made your day brighter, teeth whiter, and children smarter. %)

Okay,

This is an AWESOME plug-in, but I am still an amateur in this whole thing. I am using category templates and I am implementing specific sidebars. I am having trouble coming up with a code to list the parent Category 12 with the children of that same category.

Any recommendations?!

also, is there any workaround to show the hidden category on other sections of the site?

this whole wordpress category thing is really driving me insane. do you have any ideas on displaying the hidden category on a sidebar or something? ive tried this, but it doesnt work (i just get a blank page.. meaning php error?)

<ul>
<li><a></a> --- </li>
</ul>

Hey, guyz, i see Joel Rothschild did what i want for upgrade this plugin. Nice work! Single pages now are really invisible! It’s working.
Thank’s for Rich and Joel Rothschild :)

Oops sorry for the incomplete question.

How does the cv_get_posts() works? im using the function

get_archives('postbypost', 12);

i tried to replaced it with cv_get_posts but it tells me is missing arguement error?

Hi,

Great plugin. Exactly what I needed! Thanx so much!

There is one thing I noticed…when I unclick archives for say Category C. Now it disappears off the archives and the front page which is great. However, when I go directly to the category page, it doesn’t show any posts either. Seems like the posts just disappear. As soon as I click Archives back on, the category C page starts showing the categories again.

Am I doing something wrong?

Erum,

You’re not doing anything wrong. Category pages are treated the same as archive pages by this plugin.

While that doesn’t affect me like it does you, it’s not ideal, so maybe I’ll do something about that next time I update.

You could go about line 253 and comment out the lines that read:

elseif (is_category())
$where .= " AND (($cat_visibility.archives=1 AND $lc";

To comment these out just add // at the beginning of each line.

That should work by allowing category posts to appear on category pages.

Mike Murray,

The test is

if (is_feed())

so I’d expect it to remove posts from all feeds.

nevermind, fixed it!
1. $cats=$table_prefix.’post2cat’;
2. //$cats=$wpdb.’post2cat’;

just uncommented the first 1 and commented the 2nd

Thanks, this plug-in works great! Actually, it’s more than I needed. It’s given me a couple ideas to improve my site.

Using this plug-in I’m adding advertising and notices about content found only on my site to my feed and notices about content only found in the feed to the site! Kind of cross-marketing to ensure maximum traffic.

Thanks

P.S. Did anyone ever figure out how to get this plug-in to work with David Coppit’s Category Order plug-in(http://www.coppit.org/code/)? Coppit’s plug-in let’s you indent categories so that they appear hierarchical, but when both your plug-in and Coppit’s are installed categories disappear all together.

What I want to do on my blog, is every few hours take the oldest post and move it to the
front of the queue, all automatically. Anyone know if there is a plugin that can do this or
a simple way to set up another plugin to do this (use my own feed perhaps)?
Thanks.

Rich, Have you updated the plugin to display sub-categories correctly? I tried the hack posted by Linda K (19 August) but it brings up the following error:

Parse error: parse error, unexpected T_CLASS in D:\Domains\go.id.au\wwwroot\wp-content\plugins\category_vis-rh.php on line 339

Line 339 is

} elseif(preg_match(”/class.children/”, $link) && ($children=1)) {

Any suggestions?

Gary O

Hi,

I am not a technical person, so I am afraid to install this plug-in if it does not do what I need. So here is my question. What if I don’t need to hide categories, rather, I just want certain posts to bypass the home page and go directly to a category. Can it do that?

Thanks!

[…] Category Visibility-RH Rev Alter the visibility settings for categories, for WordPress 2.0. Based on an earlier Category Visibility by Keith McDuffee. By Rich Hamilton. […]

Building a site based on WP for a client and love the idea of your plugin. Theoretically does exactly what I need. However when I activate it, I get the following error. Thoughts on what is wrong. I am only an intermediate user of PHP and extermely new to WordPress. Any help would be appreciated.

WordPress database error: [Not unique table/alias: ‘wp_post2cat’]

Hi There,

Great plugin you’ve developed here - I noticed that it doesn’t work with David Coppit’s “Category Order” plugin. I’m wondering if there are any other Category Order plugins that might be compatible?

Cheers,
Peter

Thanks… that’s exactly what I need. You’re the man.

Hi thank you for the plugin. Works so easy it was a snap to plug it right in. :)

I installed the plugin, however I keep getting this message

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘ front=1, list=1, search=1, feed=1, archives=1, user_level=0′ at line 1]

WordPress database error: [You have an error in your SQL syntax; check the manual that corresponds to your MySQL server version for the right syntax to use near ‘LIMIT 1′ at line 1]
SELECT * FROM wp_cat_visibility WHERE cat_ID= LIMIT 1

and what does mean??

Nice, I’ve tried several ways to accomplish this, and your solution is the first one that works. Excellent.

A question, though, is there some way to remove the category from the post too? That is, if I assign a post to two categories, one of which has all options unchecked, the hidden category is still displayed on the post (like “Posted on Jan 3, 2006 in: VisualCat, HiddenCat”).

So perhaps there should be another option to check/uncheck, because there might be situations when you want to make a category completely invisible to visitors.

many thanks for the lean solution of a whole set of structural problems of my site.

^ Yup. Totally wicked plugin. Totally craptastic with WordPress 2.1. We’re really hoping you this plugin comes back to life for “Ella” because it rules!!!

Also longing for an 2.1 compatible version.

As said - at least for me that newest beta feaked the Manage page out. Only shows:

Catchable fatal error: Object of class wpdb could not be converted to string in /home/snfskane/public_html/wp-content/plugins/category_vis-rh.php

Still working on the 2.1 version… thanks for the feedback.

(beta3) On 2.1, it’s blocking the category listing on the sidebar, but in themes that also list the number of posts within that category, it still lists the number, although it does also omit the link. This may very well be somthing I just need to change in the theme.

Unfortunately, it also hides the category in the admin section: in the drop-down box for identifying the parent category of a new category (when it’s set to hide front, list and feed). Here it works too well.

That averages out to working, right? ;)

It’s definitely progressing. Thank you for your work. I look forward to the fruits of your labor.

The “Object of class wpdb could not be converted to string” error can be easily fixed by replacing $wpdb in that line with $wpdb->prefix

Hi,
the problem with listing the number of posts without the category shown in WP 2.1.

Default theme uses:

wp_list_categories('show_count=1&title_li=Categories');

This produces:

<a href="http://link/to/category" title="View all posts filed under category" rel="nofollow"></a> (1)

There is indeed no text between the <a>-tags.</a>

The catecory is not visible, the count is.
Older themes use

wp_list_cats('sort_column=name&optioncount=1&hierarchical=0');

which produces the same output.

Best Regards and thanks for this plugin,

André

Hello
i install youy plugin in last version wordpress
after activation it say this error in home page:

Catchable fatal error: Object of class wpdb
could not be converted to string in
/home/lover/public_html/wp-content/plugins/category_vis-rh.php
on line 212

Please tell me what is my problem & how can i fix this problem
thank you

wow, that was fast :) .

Works perfectly. Thanks again.

André,

Thanks to you, your clue put me onto it.

Graeme,

I think the children issue is a WordPress issue, not catvis. Check here: http://ericulous.com/?p=93

I use Fold Category List plugin, and it seems to work as advertised.

love,

Try the beta version.

This is a very nice plugin, but it left the bullet and an empty place where the category would have shown.

Russ Adams, and Dating Sage,

In order to help, I need more info…

Are you using the latest beta?

Are you talking sidebar? What function is getting called in your sidebar?

What version of WordPress are you using?

When I need it, I found you! Thanks!

I am using beta 5. I am talking about the side bar. I am not sure how to tell which function is getting called. You can view the site by clicking on my name. I am running 2.1.

I just installed beta 5 on a new site running WP 2.1

I think it is working fine, I just want to check on a behavior - if I am logged in as the admin, am I supposed to still see the chosen category on the front page? I thought that the plugin was not working at all until I checked the site on a different browser (on which I was not logged in) and all of the posts in the chosen category were NOT visible. When I am logged in, they ARE visible. Is this the correct behavior?

Hi, i´m not sure, but i think i found a bug: i have a category-list wiht 3 level. with your plugin, the list has a failing: after level 3 is level 1 list in level 2 and not in level 1. understand you? try it with

    <?php wp_list_cats('hide_empty=0&hierarchical=1'); ?>

list is ok without your plugin. but activte i your plugin, list has a failing.

can you fix it?
thank´s for your work!
markus (sorry for my terrible english!)

I tried out your plugin and it’s great! Beta5 and it runs fine on my 2.1 WP install.

One little glitch, can’t really blame you for it - after setting up the permissions, I went and changed a few category names and descriptions. I had to change/re-save all the permissions in your plugin for it to “see” the new categories, despite the status being listed correctly on your plugin page.

E-Mail me for details. =)

It’s not often you see this level of control in a plugin. That’s awesome. Great job.

I’m using the plugin for the first time with WP 2.1 and beta5. As some others have mentioned (and I haven’t seen an answer but I could have missed it) I’m having the problem where Months/years are showing up in my archive listing that contain posts that are in categories that I have set to be hidden. Is there a work-around for this so that if there are only hidden posts in a given month then it won’t show the month name under the Archives heading?

Thanks!

[…] that’s such a handy plugin. first i had a separate blog for my photos and now thanks to that… all in one. just tell it wich category you don’t want to see on the frontpage and off you go. make a separate link for the category. ready. easy. here is the link socialize […]

If I click my Edit page link whilst viewing the blog then save I get this error:

WordPress database error: [Unknown column ‘category_id’ in ‘where clause’]
SELECT wp_posts.* FROM wp_posts WHERE 1=1 AND category_id IN (8) AND (post_type = ‘post’ AND (post_status = ‘publish’ OR post_status = ‘private’)) GROUP BY wp_posts.ID ORDER BY post_date DESC

This error then disappears as soon as i refresh the page.

Any ideas?

A wonderful plugin! Absolutely CRUCIAL if you’re trying to do anything at all complicated.

I’m more used to Drupal, so trying to get clever with Categories drove me up a wall for two days!

This should really be part of any base installation of Wordpress.

I have the latest version of the plugin (2.1beta5) running on my development site which is here:
http://www.stippy.com/wp_dev/

The plugin is active, and is set not to show the “japan-language/english-word-of-the-day” sub category anywhere. But, as you can see, it is displayed on the front page of the site (about the 4th post down, Title is “E-WOTD: Cuckold”).

Any other info that I should provide? I love this plugin, but it is really not working in my site with wp2.1.

When we will have an update of this plugin for Wordpress 2.1?<
