I blogged about this problem back on the 1st: posts with no tags don’t show a proper sentence; you’ll get one like “By Richard X. Thripp at 2008-06-01T05:57:06 in News” . I figured it out a minute ago; just put the period outside the tags code:

By <?php the_author_link(); ?> at <?php the_time('Y-m-d\TH:i:s') ?> in <?php the_category(',') ?><?php the_tags((', with these tags: '), ', ', ''); ?>.

It’s so simple, no wonder I overlooked it! This problem is gone forever. You can tag or not tag without fear of grammar rules being broken.

Okay, so I forgot to include WHERE post_status = 'publish' in the code for the latest posts in the sidebar of every page, so drafts were showing up there. No one could read your drafts, but they’d know the titles. I fixed this now. Thanks.

I took away the Xanga Crosspost plugin. I actually tried using it, and found it doesn’t work in Wordpress MU; it just redirects the the dashboard when you enter your username and password in the options screen. Too bad about that. The LiveJournal plugin works fine, though.

All categories are restored, the counts are right, you can add and remove categories, all the category pages load now. Tag pages load now too; there were some issues since the beginning, but everything should be working. Let me know if you spot any bugs.

I made a change to the default category; it’s “General” instead of “Other”. I liked “Other” to start, but then realized it doesn’t make any sense if there’s only one category, and many bloggers don’t even use categories, so I find myself asking “other what?” The default “Uncategorized” from Wordpress MU is a tongue-twister, and …

I upgraded to the 2.5.1 version of Wordpress MU and everything’s fine (I think there was a problem with the post-new.php file before). Some new posts are already being made.

The global posts plugin I mentioned; I tried it out and it borked the categories (I’ve got to stop saying that). So I took it off, and now your categories are messed up (for the forty users so far). I won’t do that again. Sorry about that. Only like one person made any categorizations so far anyway.

I’m backing up the files and the database of all the blogs. Will upgrade from Wordpress MU 2.5RC1 to 2.5.1. Maybe that will fix the posting problem.

I can’t get the post or edit post screens to work at all now; all I get is an internal server error (500) message. I’ve been trying to figure this out for two hours; I was making live changes before that, and didn’t notice the non-functioning post screen till 9 P.M. EST (01:00 UTC). I think it might’ve been because I ran the upgrade script under Site Admin. I’m using Wordpress 1.5RC1.

I was trying to add this and this right before for sitewide search and comments. I followed the guide (adding them to mu-plugins), but no database tables …
