Problem with category slug renaming in WordPress

Published by admin on 13 Oct ’11

I had a problem. I couldn’t change the category slug in some of my categories. So I found the solution at:

http://wordpress.org/support/topic/category-slug-cant-be-updated

The problem comes from the fact that the tags and categories are stored in the same table in the database. And the tags also have slugs. So if there is already a tag with the slug that you want to put in the category you can’t do it until you delete the tag or change it’s slug.

You just need to go to the tags table in the admin panel and change the tag slug that’s making the problem.

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

Published by admin on 17 Mar ’11

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') )
 {
