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

Published by admin on 2010-12-22

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?

Published by admin on 2010-12-10

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.

Fix for a problem with Joomla K2 and sh404sef

Published by admin on 2010-11-18

First some explanation about the problem.

The situation is when you have a Joomla 1.5 site with sh404sef 2.1.4 component and you want to add additional section for a blog for example and you want to use K2 2.4 for this.

So in this case you have additional menu item called for example ‘blog’ where you see a blog of your K2 articles. But you also want to have the tags and the search.

The problem is that when you hit on a tag you go to the page with the tags but you don’t see the other modules for the ‘blog’ item (you are redirected to a page without Itemid).

The same is with the search results page.

And one additional fix for a prefix in the url for your K2 blog.

How to remove the Itemid from the links of swMenuPro when you use it to show Virtuemart categories or products?

Published by admin on 2010-10-14

A strange problem apeared for me when I use swMenuPro to show the Virtuemart products or categories. The problem is that when I click to an link from the menu I go to the category (or product), but the Itemid stays the same as from the previus page, but I needed to change the Itemid or the Virtuemart page.
To do this go to yoursite.com/modules/mod_swmenupro/functions.php and around line 237 and 253 there should be the link (on two places):

$url="index.php?option=com_virtuemart&page=shop.product_details&flypage=shop.flypage&product_id=".$result4->product_id."&category_id=" . $result4->category_id . "&manufacturer_id=".$result4->vendor_id."&Itemid=".($Itemid)."&swid=".($result4->product_id+100000);

So just remove the Itemid or put your value.
