You might be right, Darren. I have a 2nd WP blog, installed your plugin there and it worked!! I am going to explore the features of your plugin now (my fingers are itching). I should have done it long time ago and pinned the problem earlear instead of wasting your time. It seems i have to reinstall the 1st blog from the scratch now. Thank you.

@Darren,

I upgraded and tried again. Same thing happening.

Not a huge deal really. Considering how much I love your plugin, I can live with it. And if you can’t reproduce it on your end, perhaps I just screwed something up when I created the series to begin with..

Unless you get other people noticing this effect happening, I wouldn’t think on it too much. Because this is my first series, and kind of a way for me to get the hang of using the plugin anyway, it’s no big deal.

I’ll see if it keeps happening on the next series I create. And I’ll get in touch if it does. But, I’m crossing my fingers and hoping it’s just something I inadvertently did – and that the anomaly will only affect this particular series. Which once it’s finished, won’t be a big deal at all.

Thank again.

Hi Darren, i am still trying to make your plugin work.

It works nicely on cintamani.org blog, no problem.

But then it does not on tyrabhakti.lt blog. I installed a testing version in subdomain, tyrabhakti.lt/test/ and it runs nicely there.

However, it still generates taxonomy.php error in the main blog. If i go to this taxonomy.php and delete the troublesome line $wp->add_query_var($args[‘query_var’]); then the plugin activates and seems to work. Magic done without much of harm (hepefully).

When i test it then i notice that when i click the link “This entry is part 1 of 1 in the series “link”” then i come up with NOTHING FOUND error.

I think it is the problem of taxonomy line and bring it back but the website chokes up again.

I installed wp 2.7 – same thing. If i start a new database and activate it, then it is ok. Phew.. Now i think it was some kind of database table error. But i still get NOTHING FOUND error when clicking on series link. 🙁

How strange.

Could this be my template? I activate the default one but the issue is the same – Nothing found in Series Table of Contents URL.

Confusing.

It works on cintamani.org but does not work in subfolder tyrabhakti.lt, and works again in tyrabhakti.lt/testas/ subfolder.

I even experimented with permalinks – no effect.

Now i am sure that taxonomy error is caused by some faulty database table. I can fix it by exporting my posts into a new new fresh database.

But the next problem i am not able to solve is the Series Table of Contents. 3 identical wp installations, and 1 of them is not able to gerate the series list.

Aarrrgghh… i am going to watch a movie and have a break now. I cannot think anymore.

[p.s. some good news at least – your plugin should be ok with wp 2.7]

I haven’t installed this update yet, I’m still on the latest release + hacks people suggested, but I wanted to say THANK YOU SO VERY MUCH. I know you’re very busy and dealing with a zillion other issues and it really is great to see another OrgSeries release – beta or not.

Thank you very much. I’ll report back once I get it installed 🙂

I’ve installed this now – I had to do some fancy ripping out of the old mySQL data because it was corrupted somehow by the hacks I’d been using in between, but that was fine after.

The only thing I seem to be having a hitch with now is the series lists and seriestoc which is in the default spot but redirects to a regular post whose title starts with the word “series” for some reason. The series listings such as http://atmac.org/series/speech-to-text-compilation/ seem to be defaulting badly to archive.php and I’m not sure what or where I should edit to fix it. Can I put a series.php file in my child theme directory and edit it there, or do I need to edit it in the plugin directory?

Thanks so much for this wonderful resource – it really helps me organise my site the way I want it!

Hey Darren,

thanks for this plugin… it’s made a nice addition to one of my new websites. I’ve run across a quirk in using it, and I was wondering if you were aware of it, or possibly had a fix.

If I go back and edit an earlier item in a series, it will renumber that entry and every other subsequent entry, so I have to go through each subsequent entry and correctly number them again. It can be pretty annoying when you’ve got 20 items in a series, and you need to correct a typo or add a thumbnail image to item #5 🙂

Using WP 2.6.3, and beta3 of the plugin.

Cool. I should clarify the renumbering phenomenon.

What’ll happen is that the entry *following* the entry I edit will take on the same number as the one I’ve just edited.

So, if I edit #2 of 5, when I save it, it’ll stay #2, but #3 will also become #2, so the series will be numbered 1-2-2-4-5.

When I edit 3 to make it 3 again, then 4 will subsequently also become 3, making my series 1-2-3-3-5. Edit #4, rinse, repeat until end of series.

Thanks so much for getting this updated, fixed and ready to go for wordpress 2.7! Think I came across a minor bug in the beta7 (and just verified it still is in beta8).

In the function series_description(), I believe the following two lines need to be changed:
581,582c581,582
< $ser_var = get_query_var(SERIES_QUERYVAR);
$series_id = get_query_var(SERIES_QUERYVAR);
> $ser_var = is_term( $series_id, SERIES_QUERYVAR );

[ I just looked at function single_series_title() which was working and noticed the difference. ]

Hope this helps!
