WordPress Facebook like button plugin doesn’t show on category and tag pages

I’m using this one:

FaceBook Like Button Plugin for WordPress

by http://healyourchurchwebsite.com/2010/04/22/the-facebook-like-button-plugin-for-wordpress/

But there in one limitation. It doesn’t show the button on the category archive view and on the tag archive view pages. Probably in some cases it is good, but in others it’s better to show it.

So in order to do this go to the plugin files and open fblike_content_filter.php

On line 12 there is:

if(     (is_front_page() && $fblike_settings_show_on_front_page == 'true') ||
 (is_single() && $fblike_settings_show_on_single_post == 'true') ||
 (is_page() && $fblike_settings_show_on_single_page == 'true') )
 {

Add two more lines so it will become like this:

if(     (is_front_page() && $fblike_settings_show_on_front_page == 'true') ||
 (is_single() && $fblike_settings_show_on_single_post == 'true') ||
 (is_category() && $fblike_settings_show_on_front_page == 'true') ||
 (is_tag() && $fblike_settings_show_on_front_page == 'true') ||
 (is_page() && $fblike_settings_show_on_single_page == 'true') )
 {

Why MailChimp widget disappears from my site when I sign up?

To resolve this issue go to:

yoursite.com/wp-content/plugins/mailchimp-widget/lib/ns_widget_mailchimp.class.php

onb line 249 there is:

$this->hash_mailing_list_id($this->number) == $_COOKIE[$this->id_base . '-' . $this->number] || false == $this->ns_mc_plugin->get_mcapi()

Just delete this and write in the brackets false.

This should resolve the issue and load the widget every time.

How to allow more html tags in the wordpress comments?

Scenario: I am using the tinymcecomments plugin to give some formatting capabilities to commenters. Also oEmbed for Comments is nice one – when you put a link to youtube or vimeo it automatically embeds the video.
With the latest WP update I realised the span tag was removed from comments; colors attributes are filtered by the kses filter.
