I cannot find the wp loop in my theme called “My PC”

1. Aaron posted the following on March 17, 2008 at 10:16 pm.

   The loop is in the index.php file and starts with these two lines:

   1. <?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
   5. <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   6. Use the following to copy and paste the code.
      <?php if (have_posts()) : ?> <?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>

   On a side note, I would advise deleting everything in the footer.php file: encrypted footers usually hide spam links which can hurt your Google rankings and often lead to websites you wouldn’t want to endorse.

Hey Adam,
I really appreaciate your work - great effort.
Nonetheless, I cannot manage to get the plugin working: If a user clicks on the link continue reading, he / she will not be redirected (if he is using IE the link is being replaced by the word “undefined”) - is that a common problem?

Moreover, I have got problems if I activate the posts inline loading function with Mistylook-Theme 3.5 - everything works fine except from the homepage where the actual blog is located - the sidebar is pushed to the end of the page ==> the style of the page is corrupted.

I have the plugin deactivated, since I am using it in a productive environment.

Best regards,

Aaron,

There’s a big problem with Dashboard editor when upgrading Wordpress.

Process:

1. Installed on 2.3.3 with “Completely wipe dashboard?” selected YES, and HTML entered in New Dashboard Code.
2. Deactivated plugin. Upgrade to 2.5. Reactivate plugin.
3. Dashboard page contains ONLY the HTML entered in “New Dashboard Code”. No header and footer - therefore it’s not possible to navigate anywhere or edit the settings.

I could only recover things by editing the plugin file to explicitly set the complete_wip option to 0 at the beginning of the script, ie:

$dashboard = get_option(”dashboard”);
$dashboard['complete_wipe'] = 0;

Then resave the configuration and remove this line.

You should update the code to say something like “if wordpress is 2.5 then explicitly set complete_wipe=0″.

Otherwise it’s a great plugin. Would be nice if I could name the dashboard widget so that it doesn’t come up as “Dashboard Editor Widget 1″ in 2.5.

Thanks.
